Pov: Tessa

After a couple hours flying I finally landed in Seattle. I stand up and walk out of the plain to get my suitcase. When I got my suitcase I walk outside and take an Uber towards Landon. The last time I saw him was a year ago. He didn't know about the bullying and stuff I didn't want him to get worried.

After 45 min I finally arrived at Landon's place. I take my suitcase and walk towards the front door and ring the bell. I see Landon's mom walking towards the frond door and open it. " omg Tessa long time no see how are you sweetheart" I feel her pulling me in tight hug. " hey  mrs Gibson " I hug her back. " please call me Karen Tessa " I smile at her. " please come in" as she holds the door open for me. I walk inside and look around. " this house is so beautiful " I make a pirouette and see so many beautiful things . " thank you Tessa I will get Landon if you're any you can sit down" she smile at her, and walking upstairs. I walk towards the living room and sit down.

" hey Tessa" I see Landon standing in the living room door. I stand up and hug him tight. " everything alright Tess" I shake my head no and feel Landon breaking out the hug and look at me. " what's wrong Tess" I look at Landon  and feel a tear stream down my face " everything ". " you wanna talk about it" I nod and smile lightly at Landon " yeah that would be great" . " I will get some water and then we are going upstairs" Landon walks into the kitchen and a couple minutes later I see him walking back to me and handed me the water " thank you" I take a sip.

" let's go Tess" I stand up and walk after Landon upstairs towards his room. I put down my cup and sit down on his bed. " tell me what's wrong Tess I never saw you like this" I feel Landon taking my hand and rub it gently. " first I wanna show you something " I take of my jacket and show him my arms. " omg Tessa why" I look at Landon who is still looking at my arms " you know Molly right". " yeah that bitch with pink hair" I nod. " when you left she started bullying me cursing at me beating me" I look down because i feel ashamed and I don't know why I would be ashamed. " omg why didn't you tell me" I feel Landon rub my hand again . " that's not all you know Hardin" i smile a bit but Landon didn't see it. " yeah of course that asshole that left you" I shake my head a bit . " yeah he bullied me to".

" that asshole " I see Landon getting angrier and of course I understand his reaction. " why did you do that to yourself Tess"I feel Landon going with his finger over my scars. " I couldn't take it anymore I started to do self harm when Molly and Hardin started bullying me, Molly said that I should kill myself that I'm not worth it so one day I wrote an suicide note I put it in my jacket and walked towards the train rails" I begin. " you didn't Tess" I see Landon holding his hands infront of his mouth. " please let me finish" I  look at him. I see him nod and say" when I got there I saw the train coming I took a step forward but then someone pulled me back it was Hardin. Hardin saved me".

" molly still was bullying me and I realize now that I'm depressed and addicted to self harm, well she bullied me again and that night I did it again but this time Hardin saw it and he attended my wound, a couple day went by and we got closer, he took my virginity, then he got a message from Molly and he was gone the next morning I finally found him and he heard I was just a bet" I feel my tears streaming down my face. " I was just abet for him I said he really loved me but I'm so confused so I called you and wrote him and my mom a note that I'm leaving for a while". I feel Landon pulling me into a hug and say" you can stay as long as you want Tess and I'm so sorry". I smile lightly " thank you Landon.

" does your mom know that your here" I shake my head " yeah she knows but I said I just don't want to talk right now". I take my phone and look for message from my mom but none " did you block him"  I look at Landon and nod " yeah I did" I lay my phone down again. " you said that he was sorry and that he loves you" I feel Landon looking at me. I look at him confused " yeah but like I said I was just a bet for him". " but what if he's really sorry and he really loves you " I can't believe what Landon just said and shake my head  " I don't think so Landon and if he was he would have told me from the beginning that I was a bet" I feel myself getting angrier .

" I know Tess but let's go" I feel Landon taking my hand. " to where " I am confused where are we going on this time of the evening. " we are going out for a drink" I see Landon clapping his hands. " alright but I don't have anything to wear" I look down at my sweatpants and hoodie. " mom" Landon yelled. " yes sweetie" after a couple minutes I see Karen walking inside. " me and Tessa want to go out for a while but she doesn't have anything do you maybe have something " Landon smiles at his mom. " yeah maybe I have something " as she walks towards her bedroom.

After 10 min is see Karen coming back with a beautiful red dress. " it's beautiful " I take the dress and look at it for a second . " you have 30 min to get ready" I see Landon leaving the room. I get undressed and put on the red dress and to my hair and makeup. I look in the mirror and smile.

I look at my arms and see the fresh cuts that I made couple days ago

I look at my arms and see the fresh cuts that I made couple days ago. I shake my head and take some bracelets to cover up my scars. I walk downstairs and see Landon and his mom talking together. " I'm ready" I say smiling. " omg Tessa you look amazing" i feel landon hugging me. " that dress look beter on you than me " I hear Karen laugh lightly. " wel have fun tonight" I smile at her " thanks mom" Landon takes my hand and walk towards the front door. " we taking my car" as we walk towards his bmw and open the door for me. " thank you Landon" I get into his car. I see Landon closing the door and step into the car to and drive away.

After 15 minutes we arrived at a beautiful bar. I step out of the car and walk with Landon inside and take a seat. " hi there what do you want to drink" I see the bartender looking at me and give me a wink. " can we have two sex in the beach" Landon smiles
at me. " alright I will be right back" he  walks towards the bar. I see him walking back with two cocktails " her you go" he winks at me again. " omg he's so into you" I hear Landon laughing and I laugh too and think about Hardin. No I'm not gonna let my night out ruin because I think about him. " what are you thinking of " I see Landon looking at me " nothing" I smile and taking a sip of my drink. " well let's take a selfie of us" I see Landon  taking my phone and take a picture.

I open Instagram and post the picture of us together not knowing Hardin would see it. After a couple drinks I got more drunker. " let's dance" I feel landom taking my hand and pull me towards the dance floor. I forgot everything and dance like I have never dance before. I feel so free right now ...
