TWENTY TWO

A L E J A N D R O

All I can hear is the sound of my hands beating as I look out the window, the car is moving yes that I know that simply because the window keeps passing places I try to stare at. 

When I got into the uber I nodded at the driver and he had the radio on, I am not 100% sure if the radio is still on but he is driving nonetheless. My gaze drops down to look at my hands that are covered in blood and throbbing, the car comes to a violent stop making me snap my head up. 

I finally open my ears to see the driver rolling down the window screaming at some guy on a bicycle who is flipping him off, I turn my head to look out the window to see we are outside my building. 

"Thanks" I mumble as I open the door, I swing my feet out and step out of the car then close the door. The chill air does nothing to cool the heat radiating off my body as I tap my card and the door opens up, instead of taking the stairs here I am standing in front of the elevators. 

I walk inside and press my floor as my ears continue to ring, I position myself in front of the elevator doors as it goes up. I walk out of the elevator and make my way to my front door, I unlock it and step inside looking at my apartment that is covered in darkness with the only light coming from the windows that allow the moon to shine through. 

I close the door with my foot as I pull my blood soaked jacket off my body allowing it to fall to the ground, I round the corner of my island and stop in front of my laptop. 

I open it up and slowly type in my credentials unlocking it, I pull up an internet browser tab and slowly type in 'Teresa Stan'. The screen loads for a bit before showing me the results, a little blurb pops up on the right side. 

Her pictures alongside whatever else general knowledge, there are article links on the left about her and then her business website. I shift my attention to the blurb which is where I see 'Spouse: Jasper Anderson'. 

I slowly nod as I bring the mouse back to the searchbar clicking on it, I type in Jasper's name as well and here everything is. Pictures of them pop up as I continue to look through everything, I click on one specific article which is an interview from September. 

They did this interview for their anniversary that also took place in September, they met at school in California and then she got pregnant she was a teenager, had their son Florin, married each other, left USA to London and have been happily together ever since. 

In this interview she goes on talking about how Japser was really there for her when she was pregnant and scared, he was her rock. When she wanted to leave USA, he made it happen even though it meant leaving his family. 

When she first launched her business, he was there at every step, every late night, breakdown, celebration, highs and lows and whatever the fuck else. 

She spews out more and more on how much she loves him and their family, Jasper just says there are no words on this earth to describe his love for Teresa and how much she really means to him. He said, he has no idea what he would do without her. 

The week she told me that she was with her mother celebrating her birthday, that her mother was trying to make amends but she was celebrating her wedding anniversary. 

I switch over to the images tab and my screen is just flooded with pictures of them together. From red carpets, company events, vacation pictures, and the occasional paparazzi pictures. 

Nonetheless, in every single picture. They look happy and in love. 

I open up instagram and hack my way into Caroline's account, I do not have any social media accounts and she told me that she didn't have any later but as I type her name into Caroline's instagram right now.
