The drive towards the Rockwaller residence was a quiet one as Bonnie continued to think about the truth she learned about her best friend. Never in her wildest dreams did she think that Tara would tell her that she was into girls. This however didn't affect the way that she looked at her best friend, though she did feel a little hurt because Tara didn't trust her fully with this secret from the start. She was still lost in this thought when Tara suddenly called her attention.
"What's on your mind, B?" Tara asked, snapping Bonnie from her pondering.
"It's nothing T." Bonnie calmly replied without averting her gaze from the road.
"Hey, I thought we're okay?" Tara said as she tried to get Bonnie to face her.
This distracted the brunette so much that she had to stop the car beside the road. As soon as the car came to a stop, Bonnie faced her best friend only to be surprised by their closeness. Tara's face was literally just a hair strand away from hers and for the first time, she felt uncomfortable with their distance.
"Uhm, T." Bonnie weakly muttered as she moved her hands in front of her to try to create some space between them. This however created a more awkward situation as her hands landed on Tara's chest. Like a person that was shocked by electricity, Bonnie quickly pulled back her hands and moved away from her best friend.
This didn't escape Tara. She could see that Bonnie didn't mean to act the way she did but she knew that this was a tough time for her best friend as she hasn't fully adjusted to the idea of her being a lesbian yet. All she could do was understand that her best friend accepted her for what and who she was but Bonnie was just having a difficult time adjusting to the idea.
Tara didn't mean to show it but hurt registered on her face as she slowly moved back to her seat and quietly stared outside her window. This made Bonnie's heart sank. She wanted to say something, to apologize or console her best friend but no words came out of her lips.
After a couple of seconds of debating on what to do, she finally started the car once again and sped it off towards the direction of their house. The silence inside the car during the whole trip was so deafening that it was suffocating for both them. As soon as the car finally came to a stop in front of the Rockwaller residence, the two women quickly exited the car, breathing relief as they were able to finally get some space between them.
"There you are. What took you so long?" A familiar voice said from the front door.
Standing at the front door of the Rockwaller residence was Bonnie's mom, smiling whole heartedly at them. The two could only smile back as they walked towards her. Tara quickly gave the old woman she considered a second mother a hug and then stepped back so that Bonnie could hug her as well.
"What took you two so long? I was starting to get worried sick here." Mrs. Rockwaller asked them after she let go of Bonnie.
"Mom, I've only been gone a couple of hours and we came back here as fast as we could." Bonnie replied in their defence but her mother wouldn't have it.
Bonnie knew that her mother just loves her so much that's why she acts this way but sometimes she could be unreasonable. As if on reflex, her eyes quickly shifted towards Tara's direction and as soon as their eyes met, the other quickly understood what she was trying to say. Bonnie didn't need to say anything as her best friend knew exactly what to do.
Tara immediately wrapped her arms around Mrs. Rockwaller's and then showed her the present that she had bought for the old woman. As soon as Mrs. Rockwaller's attention was absorbed by the gift she had been given, Tara quickly guided her in towards the living room of the house as she told Mrs. Rockwaller about her life outside of their small town. Bonnie could only shake her head as she watched the two women happily chatting as they disappeared at the corner of the hall.
"Now that they're out of the way… What do I do with you?" Bonnie asked herself as she turned her attention to the luggage that Tara had left behind. It wasn't much but still she was the only one to carry them as Tara was busy preoccupying her mom. Bonnie could only shake her head as she carried them inside the house towards the direction of where the two women went. She was almost at the corner that led to the living room when she head Mrs. Rockwaller telling Tara about their sleeping arrangement.
"I already placed a couple of extra pillows in Bonnie's room dear." Mrs. Rockwaller informed Tara.
"If it's alright with you, can I just stay in the guest room?" Tara asked shyly.
"Nonsense, what brought this about? Did you have a fight with Bon-bon on your way back here?" Mrs. Rockwaller asked as she held the blond's hands. Tara was about to tell her no when suddenly Bonnie entered the living room carrying her luggage.
"She's staying in my room mom and no we didn't have a fight." Bonnie informed her before placing Tara's things beside the couch. The blond beauty could only look into her eyes as she watched Bonnie sit down beside her.
Mrs. Rockwaller could sense that there was something wrong but the old woman didn't say anything. Instead she offered the two some snacks and then headed off for the kitchen. As the image of Mrs. Rockwaller disappeared behind the door that led to the kitchen, the two best friends were left there by themselves once more with the same awkward feeling lingering in the air.
"So are you okay with me staying in your room?" Tara asked.
"I am if you are." Bonnie shortly replied.
