Chapter 68
Back home from the airport; Tegan, Sara and Erin were sitting outside on the plush veranda furniture. Sara opened her laptop and opened a well-known Tegan and Sara discussion board. She hardly ever read there because it upset her but she was curious this time as to how fans responded to what happened at the airport.
"OMG – I just met Tegan and Sara at LAX. They're awesome. Tegan looks kinda pale but better. Sara seemed stressed" Sara read the post and snorted when she looked at the photo. She read some more posts and replies and looked at the photos of the fan encounter. "Nothing too serious." she reported. Everybody seems to be ecstatic that they were out and about. Some were worried about Sara seeming "stressed". Everyone commented on Tegan looking thin and a bit pale but good all things considered. Sara relayed most of what she read to Tegan who was lying on the couch sipping a cup of tea. Some commented about Tegan's statement that they would be back with a show soon. They were super excited and commented on how much they miss them. "Tegan, Tegan... tsk tsk tsk... under promise and over deliver dude" Sara giggled. Sara's face changed. "What Sar?" asked Tegan. Sara just shook her head and started reading "Can't believe Sara is back with that bitch. They're no good for each other" said Sara "and it goes on". She was happy that Emy and Lindsey weren't home to hear this. They were at Tegan's old place collecting some bigger clothes for Lindsey and some other belongings. Lindsey insisted Tegan go home to get some rest and Sara refused to go back to that house, even with a million body guards. "Let it go... not worth getting upset about" said Tegan. "Well it seems 98% of the rest of the board got upset about it" smiled Sara. "They're all defending Emy and they seem happy we're back together. They called the negative one a troll and demands that he or she gets banned" laughed Sara. Tegan smiled "You see! I have faith in our fans. They know what's best for you... well sometimes". "You want to hear what they have to say about the pregnancy?" asked Sara. Tegan stayed quiet for a few seconds. "Yeah, let me have it" she said. "Okay here goes... are you sure?" asked Sara. "Yes Sara, read the fucking posts or give me the laptop" said Tegan annoyed. Sara smiled and started reading parts of posts "This is the cutest thing ever... Happy tears... This is awesome... Can't wait to see this baby... I'm ecstatic... How lovely... That must be why they were at the hospital... who's the daddy?... Do you think I can send a gift?... Wish they'd confirm it" Sara smiled: "Ahhh, Seems you have their approval" said Erin. Tegan let out the breath she'd been holding, nodded and smiled.
Sara kept reading but stopped at a certain post. Her smile turned into a frown. "What's wrong Sar?" asked Tegan sounding concerned. Sara shook her head as if to comprehend. "Listen to this post... 'I'm not asking for attention, that's why I'm posting anonymously. I just wanted to say how very sorry I am that our beloved Tegan, Sara and Erin got hurt... it was all my fault. I made him do it. I didn't mean to. I wish I could turn back the clock... I'm not going to go into details since the investigation is still on-going. I'm sorry, I didn't mean for any of this to happen. I had no control over things. He hurt me too, he was crazy... I hope that they are happy and healthy now. I've written to them explaining everything but they, understandably haven't replied. I can't live with this anymore, knowing that I was somehow, doesn't matter how involved in them getting hurt. I'm making an end to all this. I'm going to kill myself. I can't take it anymore. I'm sorry..." Sara turned her head up and looked as if she'd just seen a ghost. "What... how the... who is this... what's this all about" asked Tegan sitting up alarmed; her heart felt as if it was going to beat out of her chest . "The rest of the posters are pretty much stoning her to death here... some don't believe her and accuse her of looking for attention and others are freaking out and calling her names because we got hurt... Oh my God... this one just said 'good riddance'!" said Sara looking shocked while reading through the replies. "Who is she? The girl that helped him?" asked Tegan. "No it can't be... she's in custody and she won't have access to the internet" said Sara looking perplexed "Well have you seen 'Orange is the new black'? All kinds of things slip into prison" said Tegan seriously. Sara started laughing "Jesus Tegan this is not TV... trust me it's not her". Erin was quiet through everything, she stared out in front of her. "It's the girl he was talking about..." she said softly. "Which girl?" asked Tegan confused. Sara's facial expression changed, "His ex-girlfriend... the one he accused us of making gay" said Sara. The blood drained from Tegan's face "Oh..." She swallowed hard. "What are we going to do... we have to stop her. Where's the box with mail... somebody find the box with mail" screamed Tegan franticly. "I'll ask Charles and Jeff if they can contact the site so see if we can track her through an IP or something" said Erin jumping up. "I'll get the mail" said Sara looking dazed. "We need to hurry... something tells me we don't have much time" said Erin and jogged out of the room to find her security specialists. "Should we post something? On the board? On our website? I really don't want to run out of time" said Tegan looking scared. "Nobody will believe it's us if we post on the board and I don't know what we'll say if we post on Twitter... I'm not letting him kill her..." said Sara looking upset, she hastily started typing a tweet. "Nothing in your past is bad enough for you to give up on your future. Please take care of yourself and each other. Hang on! Never, ever give up"
