It didn't take a dummy to know that Tara Thornton wasn't gonna relax for nothing. Sookie had to stop herself from thinking she was doing it just to make her angry. A lot had happened with them in the last year or so, time blurred now, but there was a whole heck of a lot more history before that. She felt her anger toward Jessica relenting too and she walked over and leaned against the desk in the room.
"I - I couldn't just let you die, Tara." Sookie barely whispered out as her eyes started to burn. She had not planned on being put in a room with her used to be best friend and here they were. Unhappy about it and now Sookie was pretty certain she was gonna cry. "You jumped in front of that crazy bitch and took a bullet for me. You didn't deserve to be dead."
She knew it also was kinda selfish but she wasn't willing to lose the few family members she had left. Tara was a real important on up until she woke up a vampire and wanted to tear Sookie's head off. It broke her heart and made her regret things but they'd lost so much. They weren't even sure if she was gonna wake up normal or not and Pam had made that real clear.
"You can be angry at me all you like but your family and last time I checked? I ain't got much of it left." She gently crossed her arms over her chest more for protection in case Tara got angry at her and attacked. She had imagined it a hundred times after it first happened, terrified Tara was gonna show up at Gran's house and kill her.
