ch.32 shhhh

Tessa (POV)

"Abbey? What are you doing here?" I asked completely confused. She flipped her hair and rolled her eyes like I was stupid for not knowing the reason.

"My Uncle is Maroon 5's music producer. Like everyone knows that." she replied with a snotty tone. I took a step back, everyone was now looking at me with questioning eyes. I had no idea what to do.

"Well not what you expected uh? You thought no one would find out? hahahah!" Abbey laughed.
I felt my cheeks heat up and tears brimming my eyes. All I could think about doing is running, and that's exactly what I did.
Almost stumbling on my own feet, I turned around to push open the exit door.

I had no idea where I was heading. Questions were racing through my mind and worry was quickly building up inside of me. Abbey is going to tell everyone. Or even better, she already did. Then it dawned on me that this was all my fault. Abbey was right. How could I think that no one would find out eventually? I sat down on some steps in front of a large sky scraper. Pulling out my phone, I noticed it was 1:15 a.m. My family was probably worried sick. I don't even know how to get back to the hotel. Just when I was about to call my mom, I received a text from Grayson.

Gray😍: I don't know if you are still awake but I never said goodnight! so goodnight and sleep tight.

After I read his text, something horrible dawned on me. Grayson is going to hate me!! I didn't reply, indicating that I was "asleep".

I called my mom and told her where I was. She sounded so relieved that I was ok. But really I wasn't at all.

"Honey what's wrong? Are you okay?" My mom flooded me with questions.

"I'm fine. Can we just go back to the hotel?" I asked weakly.

"Of course." my mom smiled.
