Tessa's P.O.V.


 Luke and I run down the hall toward the lounge. What the hell is going on? As we get closer, the scream starts to sound like two people. Luke and I barrel through the door to the lounge to find Kristina and Ashton on the floor rolling with laughter, and Calum standing in a doorway frozen screaming.

       "What is going on?" Luke asks as he walks over to Calum and looks in the room.

       I watch as Luke's eyes grow wide and doubles over laughing. Curious, I peek through the doorway to find it leads into a bathroom. As I scan the room, I find the source of the screaming. The pieces come together of what happened. Turns out Calum walked in on Claudia while she was taking a dump, and they both freaked out and froze hence the screaming.

       I slam the door closed before Claudia can become even more traumatized, and I can't hold it back anymore. I begin laughing so hard I fall landing on Luke.

       After a few minutes, we all begin to calm down. I lay there for a second before I remember I'm pretty much laying on top of Luke. As I start to lift myself off him, our eyes meet for a second. The feelings from years ago swell in my heart when he winks at me before I stand up.

       "What happened to cause you to walk in on Claudia?" I ask Calum as I walk toward the couch to rest.

       Calum began, "I was going into the bathroom to get paper towels to...."

       He stops talking as my feet slide straight from under me, and I fall on my arm in a puddle of water. The impact was opposite side from my wound, so I hope it didn't split again.

       "...to clean up the water from where I dropped the glass and it broke," Calum finishes.

       Luke comes over and helps me up, but my clumsy self slips again. This time I take Luke down with me. Once again, we are laying on top over each other. The only difference is this time I'm on the bottom. 

       "You two seem to be finding yourselves in the same situation a lot today," Kristina comments.

       Luke and I look at each other and laugh. When we calm down, Luke gets up, and I roll out of the water and get up. I look at Calum and say, "Can we clean this up, now?"

       "I can't," Calum starts, "because Claudia is still in the bathroom."

       I walk up to the bathroom door and yell, "CLAUDIA!"

       "WHAT!?!" Claudia yells back.

       "HURRY UP, SO WE CAN CLEAN UP THIS PUDDLE OF WATER BEFORE I KILL MYSELF ON IT!"

       "I'm a little busy at the moment!" she responds.

       "How long you been in there?" I ask.

       "About 30 minutes," Claudia responds.

       "IT DOES NOT TAKE 35 MINUTES TO TAKE A DUMP, CLAUDIA!?!" I yell through the door.

       "FINE! I'm done! I'm coming out!" she responds.

       "Thank you!" I yell through the door.

       As I begin turning toward the others, the door swings out and smacks me in the face. I see stars sparkling across my vision as I fall flat on the floor. I look up to see Luke and Claudia looking down at me concern cloaking their faces. Then everything goes black.

Hey, guys. I know it's been a while, but it's finally done. I need your help I can't figure out the direction I want to go with the next chapter, so here's a question for you guys: Would you rather Tessa come back to in a hospital for minor injuries(concussions, broken nose, head bleeding, stab wound busted wide open), or in the lounge on the couch with baby injuries(headache, black eye, swollen face)?
