Hardin

I don't know, what the fuck is happening in my life. Tessa is with that Zayn guy. I don't see my chance anymore with her. So I did the only thing, I know. Run from it. I'm used to running from my problems. I decided to go back to my fucked up life. Before she came and changed everything in my life. So, here I'm sitting in a bar. Getting my clumsy ass drunk.

I stopped talking with Landon. I did everything in my power to stop that Zayn guy but he didn't listen to me. I even beat the shit out of him but Tessa. She came there and stop me. She didn't came up to me, to see my bruises instead she went to Zayn, to check up on him and cherry on top she didn't even glance at me, neither did she ask me how I was. The worry, I used to see in her eyes for me was there but not for me, instead it was for him. That was the day, when I stop every progress and just went back in my old life. Which I like. Even though I behave like old Hardin. I still feel hurt, jealous, whenever I see them together. It feels like, he is even more touchy with her, when I'm near them. She don't even mind him.

"Mr?" the bartender snap his finger in front of my face, bringing me out of my paradise.
"huh?"
"I asked do you want another?"
I nod my head in approval. I come here almost every day. I barely stay sober anymore. It's just the pain,  it is too much. I can't seem to handle it so I get myself drunk, it helps me with my pain.

The bartender gave me my beer and went back to his work. I drank it in few minutes. All of sudden I heard a familiar voice.
"Hardin?"
I turn my head and saw that it was our one an only Literature professor. Who left his work, for God knows what reason. I'm surprised I remember him, probably because literature is the only subject, I focus on?
"Mr Mendes." I slur. He scrunch his nose at my voice and kept his hand on my shoulder.
"You seem drunk..." he said. Can't this idiot see, I want to be alone?
"What do you want?" I spat. My anger is rising for no reason but feel like I want to beat the shit out of someone and if he don't, he will be the person, I'll beat the shit out. I know he liked Tessa probably that's the reason I feel anger towards him.
"Nothing..." he trails off, nod his head, gave me sly smile and left. He give me some weird vibes. I just shrug my shoulder.

I sigh and continue with my drink.

Mr. Mendes

If Hardin is here then Tessa is also here. Hardin is drunk his ass off and Tessa is alone. I roam my eyes on the dance floor and something caught my eyes. Tessa. But she have some guy around her. She seems uncomfortable. This is my chance to be Hero, save her and then take the chance. I've always liked her but she was my student and she didn't have even a little bit of interest in me, that's what made me like her. She never threw herself at me like other female teachers and students because she's in Hardin Scott but I don't care anymore. She may in relation with him but I want her and I'm not gonna let this chance, fly out of my hands. I left my job for her and I won't let this opportunity leave. It will be worth it. I've so many fantasy with her. Which I thought will never come true but now I see my chance probably all my fantasy will come true.

I head towards the dance floor, near Tessa and that guy indeed was harassing her. I part him from her and punch his jaw. How dare he touch my girl? She is mine! No one can have her! I consecutively punched his Jaws. All I see is his lips on hers.
"How dare you! Huh? I'm gonna kill you!"

Someone kept there hand on my shoulder and tried to pull me back. Someone was screaming at me to stop. As soon I felt the voice was feminine, I stop and abruptly got up and hug her. Tightly. I broke the hug and cup her face and ask
"You okay? Did he do something to you?" I ask, worry lace in my tone. My eyes roam on her body to see any kind of scratch. She nod her head.
"Thank you."
"No problem. If it was some other girl. I would have done the same."

Her blue grey eyes met my dark brown one. Her eyes look shocked to see me.
"Mr. Mendes?" I shake my head.
"Call me Shawn. I'm not your professor anymore. I left the job for some reason."
She nod her head. She is totally shaken.
"What are you doing here? All alone?" I ask with a frown on my face.
"Just to loose a little bit."
"You could have bought someone?" I ask, trying to figure out if there's really something wrong between her and hardin or not.
"My friend wasn't free tonight." she shrug. I nod my head.
"Don't ever come alone, at place like this without any company."
She nod her head. I take her hands in mine. She look down at our hands. I intertwine our fingers. She tried to pull away but I tighten my grip. I'm gonna confess today.

Tessa

What's wrong with Mr. Mendes? He is behaving somewhat inappropriate. He took my hands and led us outside. I look down at our hand. He intertwine our fingers, I tried to pull my hands from his but he tighten his grip.
"Let's get out of here." he said and smile down at me and without waiting for my answer. We left the bar. What is happening?

Here we are standing outside of the bar. With my hands intertwine with Mr. Mendes, against my will. He look down at me and cup my face. What the hell is he doing?! What if he will force me to do something? No, probably he is just concern. I'm thinking wrong.
"Did he hurt you?" his eyes roaming between my lips and my eyes.
"N-no." I stammer. I don't know what to do. What if his intentions are not clear. God! I wish I would have listen to Zayn. He told me not to go alone but me being stubborn I came here. Now I'm stuck here. While I was lost in my thoughts, I feel a pair of hands wrap around my waist and a pair of lips on mine. I feel disgust. What the fuck is he doing? I push his chest but he tighten his grip around my waist. I tried to push him, few times, don't want to hurt him but when he didn't bugde I push him hardly and look at him.
"What the...." but I couldn't complete my sentence because my eyes got lock with  a green pair. Which were looking at me with vulnerable look in their eyes. No! He will think something else. I didn't do anything. Oh god! He will think something wrong. Something which never happened. Oh no!
