Chapter 12💙

Daniel's POV

I woke up in the morning with Tessa in my bed. No, we didn't do it. Tessa was just too lazy to walk back home which is just the next block. I whipped the blanket off of me.

Last night, I saw her.... I saw Priscilla climbing the ladder and watching us, she gave me a guilty look. Now I feel guilty for doing that, but why? But the question that's in my head is..... why was she climbing the ladder and why did she come back? Did Priscilla come back? No, I heard Axel yelling at her saying,'Get back over here you coward.' Still, I felt guilty, but Priscilla isn't good enough for me.

Anyways, I got off the bed and changed into my clothes... feeling guilty and looking guilty.

Tessa woke like a vampire, blocking the sun with the blanket and asked me,"What time is it?"

I answered bluntly,"We're late, Tessa."

We weren't late, it was 6:36 a.m. and even if it's early she would go back to sleep and make us late.

Tessa jumped off the bed, run to the bathroom and do her make-up and hair. It took her a short time to do that and as soon as Tessa got out the bathroom door, her eyeliner and lipstick were messed up a little. I grabbed all of my stuff and ran to the kitchen to get a granola breakfast bar for us. Tessa followed me and I took it out of the cabinet and tossed it in the air, but she didn't catch, it slipped off her hand when she tried to catch it.

Tessa did a fake giggled and said,"Whoops.... my bad."

I shook my head and peeled the wrapper open and started to devour it in my mouth. Tessa picked it up and started to eat bits of it. I was done and ran to brush my teeth and Tessa did the same after I was done. As she was brushing her teeth, I felt like to check in Priscilla's room for the first time, ever since I heard the news that she was gone, but haven't heard the reason 'why' yet. Poor Priscilla, she's probably feeling lost, scared and mostly.... alone. I never thought she was even happy here with us at all anyway. I turned the knob and swung it slowly open. There was a little creak sound when it was halfway open. I slowly entered in the room so nobody can hear me and think that I care, I mean I do, but think that I care in another way, which I don't.... maybe. I started to look in her drawers and the closet... my eyes widened.... it was hollow in there. Priscilla wasn't back over here to try and stay, she was running away from us. But why? Was it because she was running away from her problems? Maybe. Or was it the fact that she almost died here and thinking that we are a bad foster family to her? Maybe that too... mostly that, I have a feeling it was that. Nah, she wasn't happy here at all.

Anyways, I opened the last drawer that was all the way on top... there was nothing inside, but there was a golden pin, an official veterans' pin. It was a golden American Bald Eagle with five little stars around it. I wonder where Priscilla got this from.... probably it was from her dad.

I know because I saw her and her family's file. Also because I met her family once, but I didn't get a chance to meet her. Priscilla was asleep and still was a baby when Axel and I went to Hunter's house for a play date at age 4 and she was 2. So yeah, I know about her family. The day when I get to see her, I'll make sure I'll bribe her to come back home with us with this golden pin.

I put the pin in my black leather jacket pocket and quietly walked out of the room and shut the door. I was barely exiting through the doorway and heard the bathroom door open very quickly. I startled and quickly leaned my elbow against the stair ramp and tried to act normal in front of Tessa, well, her kind of normal for me.

I gave Tessa a smirk and she raised a brow,"What?"

I felt a twitch from my cheek and it killed my confidence, so then I changed my face to a serious look and responded,"Nothing, hurry up we're late."
