Hardin's POV:

After around an hour of being on the kitchen Michael and Scarlett finally come out with an sad look on their faces. But instead of sitting back down with us they go straight upstairs.

Tess looks at me confused. I shrug my shoulders. Suddenly my phone vibrates, Tessa lifts her hips up so I can get my phone out of my front pocket.

Once my phone is out she relaxes against me again.

It's from Scarlett. I open the text and it only has two vague words that only I would know what it means.

He knows.

The first thing I think of course is... "Fuck, " I say in a whisper voice but it was still loud enough for Tessa and some of the people around us to hear.

Tessa turns her head towards me in confusion. "What's wrong," she whispers making sure only I can hear her, unlike what I did.

"Nothing," I whisper back.

She looks spectacle but nodded anyway.

My phone vibrates again in my hand with an double message from Scarlett.

You can tell her.

If you want....

Well I guess I don't have to feel guilty about not telling her. I whisper in her ear, telling her I have to tell her something. She whispers back okay before getting off my lap, so we can walk upstairs together.

Of course our friends made some sexual jokes as we went upstairs but what else is new. We roll our eyes at their jokes and keep walking upstairs.

We go up to her room and close the door behind us.

Tess sits on her bed. "So, what did you want to tell me?" she asks me nervously.

Why would she be nervous?

Tessa's POV:

He sits down beside me on my bed. "So, yesterday when you came home Scarlett told me she had a miscarriage," he tells me. He looks at me nervously.

But why would he be nervous unless...

"Was it your baby?" I ask him whispering, not really wanting to know the answer. His eyes widen in shock. I look down at my hands.

"N-no!" he yells out studdering. I look back at him. He shakes his head repeatedly in a fast motion. "She just told me cause she needed to get it off her chest," he tells me almost immediately.

I, of course sigh in relief.

"So why you telling me this not Scar?" I ask him.

"Because," he releases a breath he was holding. "Michael knows now and she knows I felt bad for not telling you," he tells me.

I nod understanding. Hardin grabs my hand.

"You know I would never cheat on you right," he whispers.

I lean over mad kiss him on his cheek. "Yes, of course I know that," I tell him honestly. "But after yesterday my trust issues are all over the place," I chuckle lightly, sadly.

He wraps his arm around me, making me lean into his touch. "I know you didn't tell Beth everything," he tells me.

I look up at him in surprise. How did he know that? "But you can tell me whenever you're ready."

I nod laying head back onto his chest.

Suddenly I hear Scarlett yelling at Michael, telling him to stop. Saying it's not what he thinks. Her words are muffled but there getting louder and closer.

Hardin and I look at each other in confusion, we pull apart just before the door slams open.

"You slept with my girlfriend!" Michael yells walking into the room. Scarlett runs in after him, tears streaming down her face.

Hardin and I jump off my bed in surprise as Michael saunders over grabbing Hardin by the collar and pining him against the wall.

I can tell Hardin's holding back for the sake of Scarlett and I, knowing we aren't big fans of violence. Which is why I'm confused why Michael is doing this in front of us, knowing our past.

"Let him go, please," Scarlett crys out.

I can see the anger in Hardin's eyes as Michael is yelling at him but doesn't say anything. Not wanting to get into a huge thing with him.

And I love him for it.
