Jessa, The Truth.

Stronger Feelings

*The news announced the last few names, Team 10 went pale.*

Reporter: "Ricky Banks, Bryan Le, and finally Alissa Violet."

*Tears started to form from Team 10's eyes. As much as they hated Alissa, they always still loved her. They couldn't believe this happened. All because of Bank's stupid smoking addiction, and he got Alissa involved into it too."

Erika: "Guys let's just, not watch TV anymore."

*Erika walked up and turned off the hospital TV herself. The doctor walked out saying it was okay for Team 10 to see Jake. They all walked into Jake's hospital room. He was hooked up to an IV with oxygen. He was awake up he could barely speak.*

Anthony: "Jake it's Tony, how are you feeling?"

Jake: *in a raspy voice* "Good, im doing ok- okay."

*Erika and Alex walk up to Jake and give him a bandana with all of Team 10's signatures on it."

Alex: "Jake were letting you have the Team 10 bandana. We are a family and we are strong, and you need to be strong."

Erika: "Here, don't loose it."

*Erika hands Jake the bandana*

Tristan: "Let's let him and Tessa have some alone time guys."

*Team 10 walks out and leaves, leaving Tessa with Jake*

Tessa: "Jakey, my poor Jakey."

*she starts sobbing on Jake's stomach*

*Tessa's POV:*

I tried to hold back but i just couldn't. I sobbed into Jake's stomach leaving a puddle of tears on his shirt. I love him so much, if it wasn't for me being stupid and not watching where my hand was, we wouldn't have had to go to this checkup for my hand. I continued to sob as i looked up and grabbed his hand lightly so i wouldn't unhook any wires.

Tessa: "Jake please don't leave me, i'm so sorry that i caused all of this. If my stupid self just didn't press that stupid button and hurt my stupid hand we wouldn't have had to gone to this stupid checkup. I love you so much Jake, you've helped me with everything in life and you were always there for me when i was sad. You saved my life when i tried to kill myself because of a stupid boy you kicked out just because he hurt me. Please don't leave me. Not now, not ever. Please God, i beg you."

*Tessa proceeded to sob, she was emotionally broken. She couldn't stop herself and wanted to cry forever.*

Tessa: "Jake, please. I beg you God. Please!"

*Jake was fully waking up now, he touched his stomach where Tessa's tear puddle was. He looked up and saw Tessa's red tear-filled face. He pushed himself up and sat up. Tessa looked at him ready to cry even more. He opened his arms and Tessa collapsed into them. He held her as he felt her shaking as she was sobbing, he couldn't tell if it was from relief or nerves.*

Jake: "Tessa please don't cry i'm okay. I love you more than words can describe, and i would never ever leave you, not yet. not now."

Tessa: "Can i sleep in here tonight?"

Jake: "Of course."

*The doctor walked back in and noticed Jake was doing better. He removed the IV and unhooked him from the oxygen as he was doing way better than before and could breathe now. His voice was still raspy from all the smoke he breathed in but he was fine. They said he could leave in the morning and that Tessa could stay with him.*

Tessa: "I'm so glad you're okay Jake, i don't mean to bring your mood down but you should know..the news came on and announced the deaths of those inside the building and..."

Jake: "And what? let it out Tessa, it's okay."

Tessa: "...Jake, Alissa, Banks, & Rice died from the fire.."

*Jake's face went pale. As much as he hated Alissa, he always still had a spot for her in his heart, as a memory, as his first love, as his first friend.*

Tessa: "I'm so sorry Jake. I get it if you're sad about this, i know she was your first love."

Jake: "I'm okay."

Tessa: "What?..wait how?"

Jake: "Tessa, you fixed my broken heart. After i found out Alissa cheated on me i never thought i would ever act the same or vlog again or love anyone ever again. You are the reason i'm still living. You keep my heart beating everyday. To be completely honest, i loved Alissa but never this much. I love you more than i ever did when i was with Alissa."

*Tessa started to tear up as Jake said that to her.*

Tessa: "Oh Jakey, I love you with all my heart."

*Tessa hopped on top of Jake's hospital bed and snuggled next to him. Once Tessa was next to Jake he immediately became stronger. Jake loved Tessa with all his heart and so did she. Tessa lied her head in his stomach and he stroked her hair as she fell asleep.*

{3:08am}

*Tessa randomly wakes up*

Jake: "Tessa? You awake?"

Tessa: "Yeah..*yawns* i'm not even tired though for some reason."

Jake: "Same, wanna watch a movie?"

Tessa: "Sure which one?"

Jake: "The Conjuring."

Tessa: "Ugh okay, only because i love you."

*Jake knew Tessa hated jumpscares and being scared.*

*Jake's POV:*

Tessa held onto my arm the entire time. Once the movie ended i could physically feel her shaking, i thought the movie would scare her not scar her for life, i felt really bad. I put my arms around her and she laid her head down on my stomach facing me.

Jake: "I didn't think you would be that scared, come here Tessa i'm sorry."

*Jake hugged Tessa and they fell asleep hugging. They were meant to be. love birds and soulmates.*

{8:09am}

*Jake's POV:*

I woke up around 8:00am, Tessa and i were still hugging from last night. She was lying on top of me with her arms wrapped around my back under my shoulders. I was still hugging her. The doctor walked in and said that i had a visitor, i asked who and the visitor's name was....
