Pain and Love

The Aftermath

Tessa:

It's the next morning, me and Hardin are asleep in bed and Hardin has his body wrapped around mine. We are both deep in sleep till we are both woken up from banging on our dorm door.

"Who the hell is banging on the door?" Hardin groans and rolls away from my body onto his other side and throws the covers over his head.

I quickly move off the bed and grab one of Hardin's shirts and shorts that are lying on my floor. I then look at my phone to see lots of missed calls from my mother.

"Oh shit, Hardin get your ass out of bed it must be my mother at the door" I say and he removes the cover from his head.

"Why is she here?" he asks confused whilst getting out of bed and throwing on joggers and top also from my floor.

Yep I definitely need to pick up the clothes from my floor because it's a mess.

"Noah probably told her about us" I say and ran out my room to the door.

As I get closer to the door I hear my mother shouting through the door to open it and the knocking gets louder too.

I then go to the door and unlock it to see my mother red faced and not looking hre usual perfect self.

"Finally Theresa took you long enough to open the door!" she shouts at me and marches into the dorm.

"Lovely to see you too mum" I say and she looks around the dorm and then back at me.

"Why are you dressed like that, Theresa?" she says with a look and tone of disgust

"Because I just woke up to you banging on my door" I say to her

"Hold up, is that his clothes?" she says even more annoyed

"Yes it is" I say proudly

"Go and take that off now and change into your proper clothes now!" she shouts at me

"No I'm fine like this" I answer back to her

"Don't answer back to me Theresa, go and get changed you look ridiculous and slut in those clothes"

"No she does not!" I hear Hardin say from behind my mother as he is standing at my bedroom door.

"Oh look the dirtbag that is sleeping with my daughter" she says and turns to face Hardin.

"I'm not just sleeping with Tessa we are in a relationship"

"No you are not my daughter is just confused moving into college has been such a change for her she is just being stupid sleeping with you"

"No I am not mother, me and hardin are in a serious relationship" I say and she turns back around to face me

"Oh Theresa stop being such a silly girl, you aren't in a serious relationship, he just wants to sleep with you."

"No he doesn't" I say and Hardin says "No I don't" at the same time.

"Theresa you have a perfect relationship with Noah and you are going to ruin it by sleeping with this boy"

"Perfect... perfect relationship?!" I say to her and laugh at my words

"Yes" my mother replies

"You think a perfect relationship is being verbally and physically abused by Noah and then forced into sex whenver he wants it!" I shout at her

"Don't shout at me Theresa! You are just being stupid he would never do that to you, Noah has always been a great boyfriend for you"

"Yeah maybe for the first couple of years but after that he turned into a complete dickhead. Also he has hurt me mentally and physically. You never noticed because he made me act as everything was perfect or he was going to hurt me even more"
