The past that broke me

Chapter 8

⭐️ - Hardin's point of view - ⭐️

I open my eyes from someone screaming. I stand up quickly and walk towards the guest room and get inside. I see Tessa sitting up and lock at me with fear in her eyes. I walk towards her but see her trying to get away from me " Tess it's me Hardin" I walk towards her and pull her into a hug " your safe Tess" I hear her cry against my chest. After a while she got calmer as she looks at me. I smile softly and wipe away her tears " what happened "

She looks at me with tears in her eyes " it was just a nightmare nothing important " I take her hands " you know you can always tell me anything " I see her smile at me" yeah I know Hardin" I stand up and open the door " Hardin can you please stay with me " I turn around and nod. I walk towards her and lay next to her. I feel her head on my chest and feel a warm feeling in my body. I hold her tight and give her a kiss on her head " go back to sleep I will protect you" I feel her nod and hear her breathing getting slower.

I kiss her head and hold her tight I feel her smile in her sleep. And drift off to sleep.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I open my eyes slowly from someone who is trying to escape from my arms " hey I didn't mean to wake you up " I look at her beautiful blue eyes and smile " it's okay Tess you can wake me up  all the time ". I take her arm and pull her back I hear her gniffel lightly " how late do you have to be at the youth service " I see Tessa taking her phone " around 1 pm so in 3 hours " I feel her head rest on my chest again and feel a warm feeling inside. I never been in love with anyone I only did it for the sex but Tessa is different I'm slowly falling in love with her.

" you still want me to come with you" I look down at her " yeah of course I asked you so why wouldn't you be " I smile at her and put a string of hair behind her ear " you okay Tessa" I see something different in her eyes but I don't know what " yeah why wouldn't I be " I she laying or telling the truth because I can't read anything of her face.

" no just asking do you want breakfast " I see her smile and nod " okay you stay in bed I will make brakfast for both of us " she nods and lay down again I smile and open the door and walk downstairs towards the kitchen. " hey sweetie your early for a Saturday " I hear my mom laugh lightly " yeah I wanted to make breakfast for me and Tessa" I take a plate " how is she doing " I turn around to face my mom.

" I don't know mom she's really closed since what happened yesterday " I take the juice and glasses and pore it in " just give her some time she will be alright" I smile lightly and some feeling inside of me tells me otherwise. " but your making breakfast since when does Hardin Scott make breakfast " I look at my mom who is smiling big at me " awe is someone in love " I feel myself getting red and hear my mom laugh " omg my son is in love " I put my finger to my mouth " shhhh mom please be quiet " I look at her and see her smile.

I take the tray with breakfast and walk upstairs towards Tessa's room and open the door I see her laying and watching tv and smile. I think I'm in love with this girl but I wanna take it slow until she fully trust me. I sit down and put the tray on the bed. " it looks amazing " she smiles at me " I hope it taste okay because I'm a terrible cook " I laugh and take the juice " it taste good Hardin thank you ".

After we ate our breakfast I stand up and look for a black jeans and a black shirt I turn around and see Tessa looking like she is in sort of trance. I sit down next to her and take her hand " you okay Tess" I see her smile weak " yeah just a little scared to see my mom" I nod I pull her into a hug. I feel her smile " just lets get dressed so we can go downstairs " I see her nod lightly and walk in the guest room. I put on my clothes and do my hair I see Tessa coming outside in a sweater and blue jeans.

" is really hot outside why you wearing a sweater " I see her looking sad I don't want to ruin this so I don't say anything I take her hand and walk downstairs my mom already left for work because she works in the weekend sometimes. " you want tea" I look at her as she sits down at the kitchen table " no thank you " I sit in front of her and take her hand " I understand your scared but if there is something wrong I'm waiting in the waiting room okay " she smiles lightly at me " thank you "

I take my phone and look at the time " we have to go Tess you ready" I see her nod and walk towards my car and get inside I see Tessa stepping into the car. I start the car and drive towards youth services I park in the parking spot and step out of the car and take Tessa's hand. We walk inside and sit down I see a older woman walking towards us " you can come with me Tessa" I see her standing up and walk behind the woman inside of a room.

I look outside and see a read car parked beside mine and see a older men something inside of me knows it's him I take my phone and don't think about what she told me or I will kill him. Now I have to wait for her I hope she will be okay...
