Tessa's POV:

Melissa and Brandon came into the house last with red eyes. I saw that Melissa was crying when Hardin and I walked in.

We are all sitting in the living room.

We already explained to our moms what happened. I told them about the video, so now everyone knows. Brandon was furious I never told him.

Right now we are waiting to hear back from Trish's computer friend, to tell us where the video was originally sent from.

I am cuddling at Hardin's side. Melissa is sitting in Brandon's lap. They haven't stopped touching since they came in, just in case. Scarlett and Sam are sitting side by side, laying there heads on each other.

No one is talking, we are just waiting for Trish's friend to call.

"Wait a second," Melissa says suddenly. "When was that video taken?"

"Melissa can't know about this she will kill us, Tess, please."

I look at Hardin then back at her. "Before you guys left," I say vaguely.

"Well duh," she rolls her eyes. "I meant the date, cause he was with me every night until we left."

Hardin and I look at each other. He signs and asks me if it's okay for them to know. I silently say back, it's your call.

"The night of your middle school graduation," he says nonchalantly.

Okay so we're really doing this.

"But that's the night that-," she starts but stops. Hardin and I shake her heads. My mom and Trish walk in.

"We know what happened," my mom says.

We all turn our attention to them.

"So, did Melissa do it?" Brandon asks.

---------------

So did she do it??

Oop!! Looks like you're gonna have too wait.

Lmao sorry not sorry






















Just kidding!!!!! Didn't think I was actually gonna to that, right?

Okay now continue reading??





"No. She didn't," Trish breathes out. I could hear Melissa take a breath in relief.

"Someone hacked her phone from a warehouse and sent it to Tessa
remotely," Trish explains more.

I take a deep breath before standing up and walking towards Brandon and Melissa. "I'm sorry for saying you sent the video," I apologize. Brandon and Melissa look surprised. "So, in conclusion you may punch me one more time," I say surprising everyone.

"Babe, I don't think that's going to-," Scarlett says while Mel stands up.

I can feel Hardin's glare at Scar for calling me babe.

"Mel," Brandon, Trish, and Hardin say.

Melissa punches me straight in the face, before anyone can say anything else.

She punches in me the same place she did at school, just on the opposite cheek.

"Feel better?" I ask her. She nods then sits back in Brandon's lap.

I walk back and sit next to Hardin. He checks where she punched me, making sure it's not going to bruise.

Mom and Trish are shocked. Well mom shocked that I actually let her hit me. While Scar and Sam are acting like it's the most normal thing.

"Well, okay then," my mom says realizing I'm not going to hit her back. She and Trish walk out the room.

Before they can get far, I call out to my mom. "Mom, did you," I stop not wanting to say the entire sentence. She smiles at me sympathetically, "Yes, baby," she says knowing what I mean. She continues to walk out yo her room.

If that video gets out mine and Hardin's life will basically be destroyed. Even if it was before we hit puberty, cause you can see you faces really clearly in the video.

I sigh in relief as I lean more into Hardin's side.

"So, who wants to watch a movie?" Sam asks sensing the awkward tension. We all murmur in agreement.

Brandon grabs the remote for the smart TV and puts on Netflix. He plays Bad Teacher.

During the movie I feel my eyes getting droopy. As I'm about to close my eyes I remember something. "Hardin," I whisper. He looks at me. "Where did you go today?" I ask.

He smiles at me softly. "I'll tell you all about it after your nap," he says seeing that I'm tired. I nod, closing my eyes. I feel him giving me a kiss on the forehead.

--------------

AHHH!!!! So you guys were right. Mel didn't do it. She's not that bad.

Chapter 30!! Wow! We're already half way done with MEB!!!

So in conclusion that we're half way done, everything's going to be speeding up. Meaning longer chapters and more time jumps (sorry I know people hate them).

If you have any questions let me know!!

Hardin's past next chapter!!!!

What's going to happen next?
