“Let’s get it started up in this piece,” Tara shouted from the table top she was standing on. It was Christmas Eve and Tara knew that she should be happy and in a celebratory mood. But this Christmas Eve was like all the rest. And the sadness of that simply fact left her with an overwhelming need to get high. Higher than she’d ever been before.

But standing on this table in her favorite bar wasn’t getting her high enough, Tara needed to soar. She needed to be free… to no longer feel pain. All her life, Tara had thought that success would dull the pain that life had brought to her, but even that had been fleeting

“Sing for us, Tara. Sing Peace of My Heart,” a woman in the crowd called out.

Her fans had always been the puppet-master. Pull her strings and she would thrill them with a song. Pull her string again and she’d show them the new dance that the group had learned. But no more, the contracts had dried up, the money was drying up. She wouldn’t sing for her puppet-masters anymore… she wanted to soar.

Stepping down from the table, Tara told one of her groupies. “Grab a bunch of your friends and let’s go back to my house to party.” Tara hated being alone on Christmas Eve. Her best friend, Trinity, knew why. So, they normally spent this horrible evening together doing goofy stuff. But Tara didn’t want to be bothered with Trinity or any of the members of her singing group, The Four Tops. So she choose to spend the worst night of her life with nameless, faceless people who adored her.

But when she arrived home with her entourage, she put in a CD and blasted it to drown out the sounds of anyone and everything, accept the music. It’s always been about the music… and partying. Ready to do some serious damage to the drugs she kept stashed in her safe, Tara was about to head upstairs to get her supplies when she saw Trinity, Theresa and Tina step into her space. They had been upstairs and even though Tara’s eyes were bloodshot she could tell that something had ticked them off. “What’s going on? Why are you all in my home?”

Theresa screamed at her, “We’re about to show you.”

They shut off the music, started pouring out the liquor and then declared Tara’s house a dry house.

Tara got so mad that she threatened to call the cops.

“Do that. I’d love to tell them about this little drug party you’re throwing and about what we found in your safe,” Trinity warned.

At the mention of the police, Tara’s entourage started picking up their coats and grabbing extra bottles of beer as they scattered to the door.

“Get out!” Tara screamed at them after her groupies left.

“We’re not leaving you to die by yourself tonight,” Tina told her.

“What’s all this talk about dying? I was just having a little fun… trying to unwind.”

“Trust us, Tara, if we leave you here, you’ll be dead tomorrow.
