       *Tessa's POV*

         "Really? Not gonna let me in?" His lips were still hovering over mine. I shook my head, smileing. "Fine be that way." Then he leaned down to kiss me again. But quickly moved my head to side so he kisses my cheek. Suddenly my smile faded and my heart beated faster as I saw someone watching us. Nathan. He was looking at us. His fists were clinched. When he noticed I saw him he quickly started to walk further into the cemetary. I closed my eyes and faced Harry again. 
        "Nathan was watching us.." I whispered. Harry gave me a look.
        "So? Its not like you two are dateing" He said. I nodded slowly. Feeling a little bit embarressed and guilty. Wait, why do I feel guilty. Like Harry said its not like we were dateing. I heard him sigh and he got up. He put his hand out and helped me up too. I released his hand and he started walking ignoring me. I caught up to him.
        "Harry whats wrong?" I asked. He looked down and ignored my question. He started walking faster to get away from me. I stopped walking and watched him go. Soon I was left alone at the park. I ran my fingers through my hair in frustration. I looked where I saw Nathan and he was no where in sight. Something came over me and I started running in that direction. After running up hills and through the cemetary, I saw him. I stopped, breathing very heavily. He was sitting on the top of the biggest hill under a tree. His back faced me. His hair shined so beautifully in the sun. Sounds cheesey but it was true. I quietly walked up the hill trying not to step on all the graves. I hid behind the clostest tree when he shifted. Now I could see the side of his face. But his hair was covering his eye. He looked down at his hands. He was holding a flower. A rose. Rose was my middle name and my favorite flower. But I bet it wasnt for me. I dont even think he knew that. But he wasnt holding it before. 
        He looked up at the sky. I did too and noticed it was getting cloudy. Soon it was getting darker. I wanted to rush home but I didnt want to leave Nathan here. Then all of a sudden I water comeing down on me. Everything around me started to get soaked. I looked at Nathan and he was running down the hill and towards where the exit was, leaving his rose. I went over and picked it up. It started raining harder and Nathan was out of sight. I sat there for awhile getting soaked listening to the thunder. I sniffed. I must be getting a cold. I paused for a second. Thats not a cold. I noticed I have been crying. I was too busy focusing on the storm that I didnt notice I was crying my eyes out. But why? Then I realized why and I started running. I ran through the tall grass not caring if I stepped on graves. I needed Nathan. But I know he didnt need me. I ran up and down hills. Then I slipped on the grass and cut my arm on a rock. I screamed in pain as it stung from the rain. I tried getting up but I slipped again but only this time I felt myself tumble down the hill. Still holding the perfect rose. I then felt cement under me and felt my head hit the ground. And everything went black.

        *Nathan's POV*

        I started running out of the cemetary when it started to rain. I didnt need to get sick because I have concerts coming up. No that was an excuse I wanted to see if Tessa was still at the park with Harry. I cant believe I saw them kissing. What really pissed me off the most was that he was on top of her. Harry is to much of a flirt. When I ran past the park they werent in sight. She must be home already. I quickly ran home and opened the door. The first person I see was Max.
        "Nathan!! Your back! Did you see Tessa?" He asked. He had worried in his eyes. 
        "Yeah I did snogging Harry in the park." I went over and sat down on the couch.
        "Oh they are still there right? In the rain?" He asked. I sat up in my seat and gave him a confused look.
        "I thought Tessa was here..." I said. Max looked at me and his eyes widened a bit. He shook his head.
        "No Nathan shes not. She wasnt even answering her phone." When he said that I shot up from the couch and ran out the door. It was still pouring but heavier then before. I raced back into the cemetary, not careing if I could get sick from this. She was no where in sight. Maybe she went with Harry to his place. Just to play it safe I kept looking for her throughout the cemetary. My eyes then landed ona figure I saw laying on the road. I walked closer and saw the brown hair. Thats Tessa! I ran over to her and flip her over. Eyes closed, Cheek bleeding and lips blue. 
        "Shit.." I mumbled. I took off my jacket and wrapped it around her cold body. As I went to pick her up I noticed something. She was holding the rose I had before. I grabbed the rose and picked her up bridal style. I ran as fast as I could back to the house. I tried pushing the door open and it wouldnt budge. I kicked the door more and more. Then as soon as I was about to kick it again Max opened the door.
        "Oh my god what happened!!?" Max yelled. I pushed past him and rushed her over to the couch. I layed her down and replaced my jacket with a warm blanket. 
        "Look questions later. She knocked out I found her laying in one of the roads in the cemetary. Go grab 2 wet, warm wash cloths!!" Max did as I said as I put two more blankets on her. I checked her head for any blood and there was non but I felt a bump. She must have hit her head. Max then cam back with the cloth.
        "Here!" I grabbed the one cloth and layed it on her forehead and the other one I used to gently clean her cheek. Max then tapped me on the shoulder.
        "Nath, her arm is bleeding too!" I looked at her arm and it was bleeding worse. I quickly washed it off.
        "Go get a bandage." I told Max. I am never trusting Harry again with her. This pains me to see her like this. She looked....lifeless. Max came back with the bandage and I wrapped it around the cut. 
        "You got this Nath?" Max asked.
        "Yes" I responded my eyes glued on Tessa. Max left the room. I gently put pressure on her cut to stop the bleeding. I made sure that the blood wasnt soaking through but then something caught my eye. I wiped the dirt off her wrist and removed her bracelets and there were... scars? My mind filled with possibilities. Then it came across to one. Does Tessa...cut? Some scars seemed like they've been there for awhile but others looked like they were just healing. My heart sank. I shivered. It was a bit cold in here. I decided to take Tessa upstairs.
        I was carrying her to her room when I stopped infront of mine. Maybe I could let her rest in my room. Makes it easier to watch after her. I managed to open the door and I layed her down on my bed and covered her with covers. I made sure her head was fully supported with pillows. I felt her skin and it wasnt as cold. I layed next to her, on my side. The blueness in her lips faded. I was tempted to kiss her but I dont know if she would feel it. I placed my hand on her cheek and leaned down. One wouldnt hurt. I leaned down more until my lips were hovering over hers. I took a deep breath and closed the gap. I kissed her for 3 seconds then released. I looked at her and she was still out. 
        "Tessa I know you cant hear me but, even when your like this I still think your beautiful" I whispered. I then kissed her cheek where the cut was. Then I kissed the cut on her arm. Then I kissed her wrist. Every one of her scars. I brought my lips up to her ear. 
        "Please dont cut again.... It kills me...." I whispered in her ear. All truth. I hated how much of a jerk I was to her. She didnt deserve it at all. But she doesnt seem to be the one who would cheat. 
        After having a deep thought about everything I decided to close my eyes and try to sleep. I was a bit tired. I soon felt relaxed and I started to doze off and right before I knew it I heard the sweet angels voice.
        "Nathan?"
