Tara POV

I was sitting in the back of the car when Pam was trying to get comfortable. I was staring out the window admiring the dark starry night when I felt something on my lap. I looked down to see that Pam was laying her head on it. I smiled before looking out the window again.

"Tara?" She asked, taking my right hand.

"Hm?"

"You burned yourself for me. Why?"

I stopped staring out the window to look at my beautiful maker. Using my left hand, I caressed her cheek.

"I had to see you." I whispered.

I feel her hand touch my cheek and I melt into it. She pulls me down and gives me a kiss. It was passionate and I could feel all the emotions she was feeling. Loved, happy, relieved. I pull away to scrutinize her gorgeous face.

"I was worried. I thought I wouldn't see you again." She spoke softly.

"Don't say that. I was the one worried. I thought that I wouldn't see you again. If I had to live without you, I couldn't be able to because you are what I look forward to every night. You are the one that saved me. I didn't like it at first but now I do because I am falling in love with you."

"I am the one that is falling in love with you." She drawled.

I leaned down to give her another kiss. When we pulled away, Pam'a face went from happy to irritated. She sat up with one knee up to her chest while the other was on the floor. Her head then turned the direction to the front.

"What?!" She said through clenched teeth, annoyed.

I followed Pam's gaze to find Jessica looking at you, smiling widely. I laugh softly to myself.

"I want to as-"

"No."

"But y-"

"I don't need to. Whatever you will ask, the answer is no."

"What if I asked if you love Tara?" Jessica spoke quickly.

That made Pam shut her mouth. I was curious as to what she was going to say so I looked towards her. She looked away and out the window.

"Pam, answer the question." Eric said, looking through the rear view mirror.

She looks at Eric, angrily.

"You released me." Pam huffed, folding her arms.

"It doesn't matter. You will still follow my commands whether or not I released you. You were in love with me, remember."

"What's the answer?" I spoke.

She looks at me as Eric got to a stop. Everyone had all their eyes fixed on her. She was so irritated and looked out the window.

"Pam?" I said, softly.

She pretended not to acknowledge me. I got closer to her but she held her hand out preventing me to get closer. That hurt my feelings. I knew that everyone could feel my pain but said nothing. They turned around and Eric began to drive again. I went back to my seat and stared out the window. A flow of blood falling down my cheeks.

Sookie POV

I knew that everyone could feel what Tara was feeling vampire or not. I wanted to comfort her but I decided not to because I thought that she would need time alone. The ride to wherever Eric was taking us was silent. No one spoke but we could hear some sniffles. We knew it was from Tara. After a couple more minutes, Eric stopped the car and got out. We did the same thing and Tara rushed inside of the house.

"Come on, this is where we will be staying until we know it's safe." Eric said, as we walked into the house.

He showed us to the room and we could hear the shower running.

"I'm going to check to see if she's okay. I can hear her crying." Jessica said, walking away.

Pam said nothing and retreated to a room. Eric and Nora showed us to our rooms.

Jessica POV

"Tara?" I asked, knocking on the door.

"What?"

"Are you okay?"

"No."

"I know you aren't showering so please open the door."

I hear footsteps get closer to the door and it opened. Tara's face was covered in blood. I instantly hugged her.

"She said that she was falling in love with me."

"We heard. Sookie and Jason might not have but we did. Eric and I are rooting for you two. When you two kissed in that cell, it made me so happy. We could hear your conversation and it made me smile. I ruined it and I'm sorry."

"No, don't be. I would've done the same thing and she still wouldn't have answered. That's not what hurt me. What hurt me was that she didn't even want me to be close to her. That's what killed me. I love her and to not know if she loves me back hurts. She was an amazing maker and she taught me things. She always watched me and I could feel her getting jealous and overprotective when someone talked to me or said something nasty. She was there for me. She cared for me."

"I think she loves you but she doesn't want to admit it because you know her. She's so bitchy all the time."

"Yeah but that's what made me fall for her." Tara sighed.

"The sun is coming up so we should head to sleep."

She turned off the shower and grabbed my hand when I held it towards her. She smiled at me.

"Thank you Jessica. For being a great friend even when you talk a lot."

"I'm sorry. I don't have many friends."

"It's okay. I like it because I need a vampire friend that I can pour my feelings out to without getting judged."

"No problem."

We got in our coffins and headed for sleep. Closing her coffin, she began to cry once again.
