For the last show we were in my home town. Unfortunately Mom was in Spain, not at home. But I was still excited to be home. We were all staying at my house instead of on the bus. I had set beds up in different rooms while the boys went ahead to the venue, leaving Abby and I alone. I threw the last pillow down onto the sofa and stood up. Abby smiled and sipped her drink. "Where am I sleeping tonight?" Abby asked.
"You can take the guest room bed. Then the boys can race to get a bed," I laughed. Suddenly I heard loud knocking.
"Speaking of which," Abby laughed. I rolled my eyes and went out into the hall. I started to walk to the door and laughed again.
"What have you forgotten?!" I called playfully. But when I opened the door I stepped back. I looked over the person in front of me and gasped. "Mitch?" I asked weakly.
"Lee Lee," he replied smoothly.
"Um what are you doing here?" I asked.
"I heard you were back and I saw your boy leave," he explained.
"Why did you want him to leave?" I sighed.
"So we can talk properly. Seeing you at the BBQ brought everything back,"
"I know it did," I muttered. "You couldn't keep your eyes off me. I don't need it, Mitch. I'm getting married,"
"To who? That asshole!"
"Don't say a word against Mike!" I warned angrily. "He is so much better than you,"
"Whatever,"
"Someone else actually wants me and cares about me. That's what pisses you off,"
"I don't care about him. You can't say part of you won't always have a soft spot for me," Mitch smirked.
"Maybe," I shrugged. "But I'd never act on it,"
"Why?"
"Because I'm never going to throw away what I have with Mike!" I exclaimed.
"I could take you back. All it would need is for me to break you up,"
"You bastard," I breathed softly. Mitch bared his teeth and me and came forward. He pushed me inside and pushed me against the wall. I stayed there are glared up at him. "Don't tell me you're pushing your girls around now. You're pathetic," I hissed.
"You're a bitch,"
"I know," I smiled. "That's why you liked me, remember? I was the only girlfriend that wasn't scared when you went on one. And guess what, Mitch. I'm still fucking not!"
"Kay'!" Abby called. She ran to me and her eyes widened. She pushed Mitch away and pulled me to her. I smiled in thanks and glared at Mitch.
"Leave," I ordered. "Before the boys finish and come back,"
"When they do I'll come back. We'll see how much of a man he is," Mitch said smoothly. Then he turned and left. I sighed and slammed the door.
"Are you okay?" Abby asked cautiously.
"Yeah," I nodded. "Just pissed off with that ass," I added.
"Will he come back?"
"Probably. Just to prove a point," I rolled my eyes.
"Come on," she urged. We walked through into the sitting room. Abby got a bottle of wine and we sat on the sofa. She poured some in my glass and I drank hungrily. I switched on the t.v. and sat back. "Let's skip tonight's show," Abby said.
"Good idea," I agreed.

By the time the boys came back it was past one in the morning. I heard knocking and went to answer. I opened the door and Mike walked in with the others following him. He wrapped his arm around my shoulder. We walked into the sitting room and all sat down. I was forced onto Mike's lap due to the lack of seats. He wrapped his arms around my waist and I smiled. "Why didn't you guys come?" Jaime asked.
"Didn't feel like it," I shrugged. Then I heard a knock at the door. I sighed and got up.
"I'll come," Abby said. I nodded and went into the hall. I opened the door and glared. Mitch was standing in front of me again.
"Am I too late? He hasn't gone to bed has he?" Mitch asked dryly.
"Fuck off," I spat.
"Come on," he urged.
"Go," Abby warned.
"No," he replied flatly.
"Mitch," I sighed. "You were a mistake. Just like the majority of things I did in high school,"
"Sure, Lee Lee," he laughed. Then he kissed my cheek. I put my hands on my hips angrily. He walked on my front lawn and turned to me to smirk. I ran out to him.
"You horribl-" I started. But stopped. He was kissing my lips. I didn't kiss back. I felt disgusting. I pushed him off of me and saw him smiling. I growled loudly and brought my fist back. I punched him hard on his jaw and heard a crack. I went again and punched his stomach.
"Mike!" Abby called urgently. I turned and saw Mike walk out. I ignored him and the boys and kicked Mitch in the groin, making him drop onto the floor.
"You fucking stabbed Tara! Fight back! You spineless prick!" I screamed.
"No!" Mike snapped. He was trying to pull me back. I was fighting against him. He got in front of me and wrapped his arms around my middle. Then he carried me back to the step.
"What the fuck is going on?!" Mike demanded.
"He kissed me. That's why," I answered quickly.
"What?" Mike gasped.
"Did you kiss back?" Vic asked seriously.
"No,"
"She didn't," Abby defended. "She pushed him right away before she started hitting him,"
"I believe you," Mike sighed. I looked at Mike and saw him shaking. Mike shook his head. He turned and walked quickly to Mitch. He grabbed him by his throat and picked him up. He slammed him against a tree and punched him hard in the face. "Come on then," Mike spat. He backed away and waited for Mitch to react.
"Shit," Jaime breathed. Mitch punched Mike in the side of the face. Then Mitch kicked his side. Mike punched back, making Mitch gasp for breath. We drew nearer, but didn't try to stop it. Mike was punched in the nose, making blood flow. I gasped and went to go forward but Tony and Vic stopped me. Mitch was close to Mike and Mike bit at his skin. He finally kicked at Mitch before they broke apart. Mike stumbled over to me and Mitch went alone and started walking along the sidewalk. I wrapped my arms around Mike and kissed his lips urgently. He wrapped his arms around me tightly.
"Fuck, is it broke?" I asked as I looked at his bloody nose.
"No," he shook his head. Vic passed me a load of tissue from his pocket. I used it to mop up Mike's nose carefully. I kissed him on the lips again.
"You okay? God, I love you," I told him.
"I'm good. I've had worse," he shrugged. I saw Mitch look back at us sadly. I put my middle finger up and him as he disappeared from view.
"Let's get some ice," I said and we started to walk back into the house.
