Two Of A Kind

Brielle's POV

There she lay limp in the shower. The water mixing with her blood as it slowly rises because she's blocking the drain.
"Tessa!" I rush to her, tears blurring my vision. "Mama, call Adrian!" I yell, sobs seeping through my voice. What did you do Tessa?

I ran to the shower, flicked off the water, and fell to my knees just outside of the shower door. Pulling her close, I reached for her pulse. 
"Come on, come on Tessa," I urge, sniffing as I feel for a beat.
It's very faint, too faint.

"Okay, please hurry," I hear mama plead. Adrian should be on his way. I reached out to the cabinet, pulling it open, and snatched a dark grey towel. It's not the best thing to use, but it'll help.
Holding her wrists together gently, I wrap the towel around her bloody forearms, the blood immediately peeking through the towel.
My poor girl.

I pulled her into me and sobbed, just sobbed. I should've been there for her.
"Where is she?" I turn around to see a frantic Adrian. He found me in the corner and ran right over to me, taking Tessa out of my arms.
"Change your shirt, grab a jumper and meet me in the car," He explains, bending down and kissing my forehead.
Did he just kiss my forehead?

I was lost for words. Nodding slightly, I wiped my tears away and heading over to my room. But why do I need to change my shirt, it looks completely-- never mind. 
Looking down, I see blood stains on my pink shirt. Pulling the shirt off, I put on a white button-up top, and a red jumper on top.

Slipping on my shoes, I bolt out of the door. "Mama, I'll fill you in on whats happening!" I yell as I pass the living room.
"Okay baby, hoping for the best!" She replies before I shut the front door. I bolt through my front porch, spotting Adrians car. 
Adrian's in the drivers seat, and someones in the back with Tessa, who the fuck?

"What are you doing here?" I shot at Leo, who's cradling a lifeless Tessa in his hands, his eyes bloodshot red.
"Please let me explain, it's not what you think it is," He explains softly, he looks tired.
"Adrian why did you bring Tessa's ex here?" I ignored Leo, glaring at Adrian. Some nerve he has.
"Bri we don't have time, get in if you want to save Tessa's life," He warns, and I jump straight in.

Adrian shifts into drive, pulling out of the driveway and speeding off.
"He refused to stay back after he heard what happened, he damn nearly knocked me out." He chuckled lightly, although I could hear the sadness in his voice. Rolling my eyes, I turned back to Tessa and Leo.
"Don't think for a damn fucking second that you'll get her back," I seethed, watching him push the hair out of her face gently.

"It wasn't me, you have to believe me," He explained, looking at me with sad eyes. But that made me grow angrier.
"What the fuck do you mean it wasn't you? I saw you and your tattoos," I shot, growing loud as Adrian was only driving faster to the hospital.
"I know, it looks fucking horrible," He sighs, "But it wasn't me," I looked at him with wide eyes.
