Jennas POV-
I've been at my parents for about 2 days now.
I haven't seen tate or talked to her and i'm not sure what I did but it sucks not talking to her or having her around.
"hey are you good?" aliyah says.
I look up at her.
"What? oh yeah i'm fine why?" I say.
"Because I was talking to you about Brandon. I'm not sure if I should break up with him or not." she says.
"why what did he do? do I need to hurt him." I say smiling.
Although i'm smiling i'm not joking.
"It's just I think he's cheating on me. He's been really distant and he doesn't want to hang out much anymore. Also I asked to go on his phone and he was very protective of it." she says.
She starts tearing up. Brandon and her have been together for about 2 years now they are basically high school sweethearts.
"Aliyah if you think that then I can find out or you can talk to him about it. If he is then he's a piece of shit and you deserve so much better than that. Someone that truly loves you will protect you and never do you dirty like that." I say.
She nods and hugs me.
I decided to text Tate for help. Hopefully she responds.
I open my phone and see all the messages I sent still on delivered.

Jen. Please just stop. You don't need me in your life, it'll be better for you. I'm not good for you. I hope you heal. See you around maybe.
End of messages.
I was so confused by what I just read.
"Aliyah drive me somewhere." I say.
"what? jenna you can't even get out of bed. The doctor said lots of rest and not a lot of moving." she says.
"Aliyah bring me now i'm not asking. Please just help me get in the car and bring my wheelchair." I said now staring at her with a dead look in my face.
"Fuck fine okay lets go." She says.
She grabs her keys and starts her car and then comes back in to help me walk and get in the car.
"So where are we going?" She says looking at me.
"571 Walburg St. it's a big house you'll see it." I say.
"Wait Jenna seriously why are we going there? You're not gonna try to shoot someone up are you." she says.
I raise an eyebrow at her.
"What no you idiot. Tate lives there." I say rolling my eyes.
"Tate? The girl that ran out a couple nights ago?" She says.
"yup. it'll be quick i just want to check on her." I say.
Aliyah smiles and nods and starts driving.
Tates POV-
I was sitting at home with a bottle in my hand watching tv and then the bell rang.
I ignored it the first time but then it went off again.
"Oh my fucking god." I yell out.
I put the bottle down and went to open the door.
I saw aliyah behind and jenna in a wheelchair.
I let a small chuckle out.
"What are you guys doing here." I say
"Um I'm gonna go wait in the car. Nice seeing you again Tate. Ill look out for you jenna so I know when to help you back in the car." Aliyah says speed walking to the car.
"Jenna what are you doing? aren't you supposed to be in bed." I say.
"Move so I can come in." She says.
I move out of the way and she wheels herself in.
Cute I thought to myself.
I close the door and just look at her.
She gets up holding onto her wheelchair.
"woah what are you doing." I say.
I make my way towards her and she wraps her arms around me so i wrap mine around her and hold her.
"i think you're more than good for me Tate even if you don't think so, you know." She says quietly against my chest.
I felt anger in me but I couldn't let her see that part of me.
"Jenna you need to go now." I say.
I sit her back down and start walking to my couch.
"No i'm not leaving. I've been calling you and texting you for days now. i'm worried sick about you." she yells.
"Maybe you should take the hint of me not wanting to talk to you!" I yell back.
"Fuck you!" she yells
I just look at her with anger. If it was anyone else I would've already killed them but her, fuck why is it so different with her.
"Jenna fucking leave. We had a mission together, hung out a few times but that was it. Thats all. Nothing more. Nothing between us." I say.
"Tate you know damn well that there's something between us. If it was just a mission then why kiss me and protect me the way you do? You care about me but are too afraid to admit it. Just let me in. If you don't i'll just keep trying because you think so fucking low of yourself that you can't even see that you have someone in front of you who cares about you and thinks you're so much more." She yells.
I start laughing.
"You don't fucking know me Jenna." I say.
I grab my bottle and throw it and it shatters across the hall.
Jenna jumps at what I did.
"See? You don't fucking know me. I mess up everything. I'm crazy. I'm nothing! I'm a no one. You're too perfect you don't need me in your life. Just fucking go jenna like seriously just go." I say.
My voice cracks at the end.
Jenna gets up and hugs me.
"If I don't know you then I want to get to know you. Nothing you say or do will change that. I think you're special tate." She says.
I break down and fall to my knees.
Jenna walks closer to me so I hug her by her waist making sure not to hurt her.
"fuck jenna why do you have such an affect on me." I say.
"you're drunk and just need to calm down a little bit." She says rubbing my head.
"I'm sorry if I scared you." I say.
She takes a deep breath in and then lifts my head up.
"Come on get up you need to go to sleep."
She took her phone out and called aliyah to tell her she's staying the night so she can drive home.
