This is a terrible day for me. Why did he have to call me right now? He couldn't have chosen a better time?
I hung up on him and went to my next class. I entered and almost every eye turned to me.
Damn, this popularity of mine.
''What are you looking at?'' I growled and they turned back to their businesses.
I took an empty seat back and settled in.
''Hey,'' a voice said beside me. I glanced sideways and saw Max smiling at me. This dude still had the nerve to smile at me after all that confession.
''Look, I didn't know that you were not aware of your reputation. I just thought that you knew. I'm really sorry if I hurt your feelings or anything.I'm sorry about the shirt too.'' He looked down at my shirt and so did I. It still had that terrible stain.
''Maybe you should go wash it in the bathroom or something." He su
Lucas stopped his music, Luke ended his call and Scott sprayed mouth juice onto my face. "Dude! What the hell?" I quickly grabbed a tissue and dabbed at my face."What are you wearing?" Luke asked me, raising his lips. "Is this the wedding dress?" He turned to Ryder who was having problems with his tie."No, idiot. That's not the wedding dress. Tessa, what are you wearing? " He gave up on his futile efforts on the tie and walked closer to me."Clothes?" I inched closer to him and started knotting his tie. "What about the dress?" He fidgeted."Relax," I patted his back. "It's in the bag. I just wanna give them a shock first. Hopefully, they'll get a heart attack and leave me alone!"I finished the knot and tucked it perfectly."Are you guys staying here?" I turned to the guys."My house is a tornado right now so, I'll stay."Lucas plopped on the couch."I've got nowhere
"My parents and I got you involved in the rift between us. I know that they were behind your last two marriages. They've ruined your life enough and I couldn't even do anything about it.""Theresa.. ""I'm not done yet. I'll make sure this wedding doesn't happen. I know you don't wanna get married so please just play along until I find a solution. Just bear with me."She pulled me into a hug and rested her wet face on my shoulder. She had been used as a pawn by my wealth driven parents. She's empty now so they're trying to sell her to the highest bidder."I love you so much," she sobbed."Me too, Aunt.""Am I interrupting a little girl moment?" Ryder walked in. His tie had gone loose again.I wonder why."Shut up," Aunt Tiffany wiped her tears with a tissue I handed her. "You've been asked to come downstairs with the bride
"So, he saw Stella at the airport?" Luke said as he chewed his burger at lunch. We were at our table waiting for Scott and I was forced to talk to Luke while I awaited his arrival. Ivy was sitting at a table with a bunch of girls. She glanced at me a few times and looked away. If only someone else could join us at this table right now."Hey guys," Lucas moved in beside me. "Fuck," I groaned."You missed me?" He rested his cheek on his palm and his elbow on the table. "Yeah sweetheart," I smiled and winked while I stepped on his feet with my shoe. "Owww!" "Can I join you guys?" Max stood at our tabl
"So, she still has a grudge?" Scott asked as he drove us home."Told ya.""She's just like you." "No way. I'm better.""So it was just the usual questions?""Yeah but, it seems like she stalked me for the past year. She knew everything that has been happening to me since I stopped attending her sessions."."I kept her updated.""I know. Who else would do that for me if not you?""Since we still have a few hours to kill before midnight, how about we visit her?""Sounds like a bad idea.""Why?" He raised his right eyebrow at me."I don't think I'm prepared to meet her yet.""Oh, come on." I sighed deeply as he took a turn towards the hospital. I've waited two years for her to get better. I wanted her to be able to recognize me first.Whenever I visited her, she looked at me like I was a foreign object. Even the d
"Midnight snack!" I kinda froze as Scott locked eyes with Luke. He held up a bag filled with god knows what. "What are you doing here, Henderson?" He slammed the door shut. "Same thing you came to do Daniels, keeping her company." "What did you bring?" I reached up to the bag Scott was holding. "I am starving." "You just had a box of pizza," Luke accused. "I only had two pieces. You ate six." "I thought that since Ivy left, you might miss girl night, movie night or whatever stuff you girls do, so I came to fill that space. But I can see that you are doing fine. You now allow strangers into your house at night? Cool." "You guys used to date right?" Luke looked at me then at Scott. "What do you mean?" &
Our Story: Harvey's LifeChapter 19: You're needed."I interrogated Alessia. They met Ivy in the bathroom and started bullshitting you. Ivy tried to defend you, they pushed her, she hit her head against the wall and you found her."He twirled his fork in his food as I drank."Did you tell Scott?""Of course. I wanted him to feel bad about what he said." He smiled at me."Oh, I forgot to tell you. Someone called you from an hospital.""Saints?""Yeah, they said your mother wants you."My fork fell to my plate."What?""Does your mom work there or something? They said it was urgent but I didn't wanna wake you. You looked relaxed.""Let's go!" I grabbed my jacket and picked my car keys."Right now?" We ran across the halls of the hospital as I located her room. I made the sign of the cross before entering the room. I opened the door and cleared my throat as she looked
"I didn't know she uploaded the video," Scott argued when I asked him about the video."That's too bad, 'cause I already uploaded yours." Luke wriggled his phone in his fingers."No, please." Ivy screamed."You didn't even ask me," I turned to him. "How could you do that?""Relax, you recorded it with your phone. I don't have it." He raised his hands in defense."But seriously, I should upload the video. That way we'll be even.""Tess, please don't.""But, you guys are gonna be famous. You could be pornstars," I imagined."I'll take down the video," Ivy said. "In exchange for you to delete that.""After all the shame? I already pulled down the video but you guys should never act like you know me anymore." I stood up."Tess.... ""Especially you Daniels. I mean it or else, I might fucking kill you." I brought out my phone and deleted the video. "I deleted it.
White ceiling. Beeping. Nasty smell. Cries. Laughter. Weak. Heavy eyelids. Hand being held and rubbed. I wanted to absorb all of this in when I heard someone shout, "She's awake! Doctor!"I felt something cold in my ear, on my chest and a hand on my forehead. The light was too bright, so I closed my eyes. After a little while, I reopened them as a set of lips kissed my forehead. Luke's face came into view."Are you okay?" He cupped my cheek. I was too weak to reply. I looked straight into his eyes and blinked."I don't know what that means but I'm so fucking proud of you. Thank you for waking up.""Stop being a pussy. I told you she was gonna be okay." Lucas smiled at me.I looked around to search for someone but..."Where's Johnson?" I asked weakly.Luke scoffed and scrunched up his face in disgust."He went to check o
