Zac was right on my heels as I raced over to Tara's house and rang the doorbell.
Tara answered the door and before she said a word I pulled her out onto the porch with a strength I didn't know I had and practically threw her against the banister.
"What in the hell is your problem?" She exclaimed.
"MY PROBLEM? What is YOUR problem?" I screamed, "You had no right to go out and tell lies about Taylor!"
"Look, they weren't lies...he really is bad in bed, I was telling the truth. You should know shouldn't you? I mean, he did come to your house after he came to mine didn't he? You can't tell me you guys didn't sleep together."
"We didn't have sex! As a matter of fact, he was to in love with you to even think of me. And then you go and crush him like this. I should kick your ass!"
Without even thinking I jumped on her and started punching her in the face. Suddenly I was being pulled off of her by Zac.
"Get off of my property." Tara said, then turning around to go back into her house mumbled, "Psycho bitch tries to come over here and tell me what to do."
"What did you call her?" Zac screamed making a run for Tara.
Tara turned around just in time to see Zac's fist flying at her face.
I managed to pull Zac of off her, "Zac, you don't hit girls."
"She's not a girl, she's just a slut." Zac said as I pulled him back to my house.
"I can't believe you hit her!" I exclaimed once we were back up in my room.
"No one calls my best friend that and gets away with it." Zac replied.
We sat fuming in silence until Zac got up and got a wet towel from the bathroom. He took the towel and started to wipe some of the blood from my face were Tara had hit me back.
Believe it or not, she had gotten a few good hits back at me and it seriously hurt when Zac cleaned them up.
"What happened to you guys?" a voice said from the doorway.
We turned to see the tear-streaked face of Taylor.
"We had a little run in with Tara." I said.
"Actually, Ali kicked her ass." Zac said.
"Good job, Ali!" Taylor exclaimed, "I haven't talked to her yet...."
"Well, if I was you, I wouldn't talk to her at all. Just let this all blow over...people know how you really are, they don't know her! They'll go back to normal life and forget all about this." I told him.
"Yea," Zac added, "In a week or two this whole thing will be completely forgotten."
Taylor smiled, "I hope you guys are right. I wish I hadn't met Tara....then this whole thing would never have happened."
"But, you did meet her." I pointed out, "And you did spend one horrible night with her, so all you can do now is wait for it all to be over."
"Thanks, Ali." Taylor said giving me a hug.
I hugged him back and was in pure heaven....until I opened my eyes and saw Zac looking at us with a sad look on his face. It didn't really hit me then what that meant but I knew it meant something. Something bad, something different, and definitely something I hadn't planned on seeing.
