-Visiting Gale
It's been one week.
One week since Sam wore her father's ghostface costume.
One week since Tara had to see two other friends dying at their hands.
One week since Gale almost die.
Tara knows that the relationship between Gale and Sam is complicated, but she also knows how much her sister looks up to her.
It's almost like she's the mother figure that sam has never had.
And if Tara has to be honest, she also sees Gale that way.
Sam has been miserable ever since Gale ended up at the hospital. Unless it's to go to work, She barely goes out of her room, barely talks to anyone and barely eats.
Of course, Tara won't let her sister's self-destructive mechanism win.
Sam is stubborn, but Tara is on another level of stubbornness.
"Okay you need to stop, get out of the bed"
"No, leave me alone" sam said, covering herself with the covers.
'25, but she acts like a child', tara thinks.
Tara, being the sweet little sister she is, pushed sam out of her bed, and that ended up with Sam falling on her back on the floor.
"TARA! Did you forget i'm still injured?" Yes, actually. Tara was so focused on pursuing her mission to get Sam out of bed that she did forget her sister got stabbed.
Well, it's too late now.
"Not my fault. I tried to ask you nicely but you didn't listen" Tara said with a smug smile on her face. She then added "Go take a shower and get dressed, we're going somewhere"
Sam, of course, did not listen to her and decided that the bed was a much better option than what Tara proposed.
Why did Tara even think that it was going to be easy to convince her?
"SAM! will you just get the fuck out of this bed?" Now Tara was gettin impatient.
"i'm older than you, and i can do whatever i want"
Oh.
Okay. Sam wants to play the big sister card? Let's play it then.
Sam thought she won. Tara finally stopped trying.
But Sam should know better than that.
Tara Carpenter doesn't give up easily.
It's been 30 minutes since Tara left her room without saying anything. Has she gone too far? Has Tara really gotten offended by her words?
Sam was about to get out of bed and check on Tara, when she heard HER voice.
"Get out of this bed c'mon"
No. She did not call her.
"I know you heard me."
Oh no, she did.
Kirby Reed was standing at Sam's door with that little shit smirking next to her.
"You said you wouldn't follow my orders because i'm not old enough, so i called someone that is old enough to help me out" Tara said in a proud and devilish tone.
Yeah, Tara was right. Her plan worked. Sam took a shower and got dressed, and with kirby's help, she was even able to convince her to eat something.
But now there's the actual real hard part.
"So where are we going?" Sam asked curiously.
Tara and Kirby kept glancing at each other without saying a word.
"Hello? Are you two still here? Where are we going?" But after not getting an answer again, Sam lost her *already* non-existent patience. "If you don't tell me, i'm going back to my room, and it won't be that easy to get me out of -"
"We're going to see Gale" Tara decided to admit.
"Absolutely not" Sam ran into her room again and slammed the door.
Mh. That went better than she expected.
"I'm going to talk to her" Kirby said, already heading to Sam's room, but Tara stopped her.
She had to be the one dealing with it. It's her sister.
"Sam? I just want to talk, i promise that if you really don't want to, we don't have to go" Tara tried to be as convincing as possible.
A few minutes pass before a distraught Sam opens the door and falls into Tara's arms, sobbing.
Oh... something must be really wrong with her, Tara knows her sister. She doesn't act like this. The only time she saw Sam being an emotional wreck was when Gale was attac- Wait.
Tara was starting to connect the dots.
"You don't- you don't think that Gale getting hurt is your fault do you?"
"Yes, i do, because- because IT IS my fault. Why would she even want to see me? I'm the one who put her in a hospital bed." Sam cried even harder, feeling completely unable to calm down.
Tara didn't say anything.
Her original plan was to NOT force Sam into going to see Gale.
But Tara knows that Sam will never believe her words unless she sees it with her own eyes.
And that's why she drags Sam out of her room and into Kirby's car.
The car ride to the hospital was hell for both Tara and Kirby, Sam hasn't stopped complaining for one second. She's acting like an actual child throwing tantrums.
Oh, Tara is so going to tease her for it when she feels better.
They finally arrive at the hospital.
Tara ends up literally having to push Sam into Gale's room. She knew that it would've been hard but not THIS hard.
There's a moment of silence between them. No one dares to speak. They're just all staring at each other.
The peaceful silence is broken when Tara and Kirby start laughing unstoppably at Sam's inaudible "Hi Gale." Of course, they were aware that Sam was going to kick their asses the moment they stepped one foot out of this room.
But at least it was worth it.
"What happened to you? Did i break the big bad Samantha Carpenter?" Gale said, surprising everyone.
Tara, for the first time in days, saw Sam genuinely smiling.
It's been another week from the day Sam finally visited Gale at the hospital, and they've been inseparable ever since.
You might think it's a positive thing.
But no.
For Tara, it isn't.
Everyday. Every single day. Sam refuses to leave Gale's hospital room when visiting hours end.
And Tara, every single day, has to forcefully drag Sam out of the room.
It's not always bad. Sometimes, Sam is more collaborative than other days, but today is not one of them.
"Sam, please, for the love of god, we need to go, or they'll call the cops... again."
"No. Who even decides visiting hours? I can visit Gale whenever i want."
"Yeah, that's not how it works"
"And i couldn't care-"
"I am demanding you to get the hell out of my room and listen to your sister." Gale interrupts the sister's daily fight.
"But-" Sam saw the look Gale gave her and decided it was better to shut her mouth and stop giving Tara a hard time. "Okay, but promise me you will call me if you need anything"
"Yes Sam. Now go"
"And remember to stay hydrated"
"Yes"
"And get some sleep"
"I will, if you finally let me rest"
"And text me when you wake up"
"I will get up from this bed and kick you out myself if you don't disappear in the next 5 seconds."
Alright, it's time for sam to actually leave the room this time.
Mh Tara is being too quiet, Sam thought.
Weird- oh.
Maybe she should really try to make this easier for her.
Tara was asleep on a chair outside of Gale's room.
