Not For Me | A Temilio Fanfiction

Back To Perfect Pt. 1: Its Just A Word, My Dear

Emilio POV:

I push Liz off of me, I am not going through this again! As much as I don't want to talk to Tessa right now, I need to. Without saying a word to Liz I walk off, once I leave the kitchen I see Tessa running upstairs crying. Did she see the kiss?!

I go up to Tessa's room and knock on the door. What the heck, I know she's not going to answer so I just walk in. "Should've locked it." She said her face mushed in a pillow. "Matter of fact," she said sitting up, "Y'all should have got a room and locked it." "It's not like that." I try to reason with her but she doesn't believe me. "You just want to get back at me for doing what Jake said." Tessa screamed running out of the room. I don't want to hurt her.

Tessa POV:

I can't believe what's Emilio's done to me, I need to move on! I walk up to Chance and plant one on him. He kisses me back, it's only for a second before I pull back. Why am I doing this?

No matter how mad I am at Emilio that doesn't mean my feelings with Chance will change. "I'm sorry." I mumble under my breath before running out the door.

I run and sit in the passenger seat of the Team 10 van. I just think, I cry and think. Before I even get to get to midst of my mental breakdown, Emilio hops into the driver's seat. "No." I say shaking my head slowly. I just want lonesome.

"Trust me." He says as he starts the engine. "I know somewhere under that anger you still remember the guy that you trust." He says as he pulls out of the driveway. I don't say anything, instead I tilt my head and stare out the window.

We eventually pull up at a lake, this time no house. "Another lake?" I say wiping some tears as I get out of the van. "Memories." Emilio said staring out at the blue.

"Why are we here." I say concentrating on the ground below me. "I want to explain." I look up at him. Sure, give it your best shot.

"Explain." I say emotionless looking at his eyes. "Okay," he swallows, breaks eye contact, but then continues, his blue eyes once again looking into mine.

"I didn't kiss her, she kissed me. And right after, I pushed her off. It meant nothing." "Why did she kiss you in the first place?" "Can you blame her?" He says jokingly, but I'm not laughing.

He puts his serious face back on, "You know I'm not the only one that did wrong, you slept with Chance." "I was locked out of my room." "How?" "Liz blocked the door." Emilio gets a look on his face.

"That's how Liz knew it was me!" Emilio shouts though I'm still not following. "Liz was sent here, to get us even further apart! She wanted to break us up even more, make sure there were no feelings." Makes sense. "That's probably why Jake had no meeting." I say starting to understand. "Exactly."

I shrug and start back towards the van. "Tessa?!" Emilio yells. I turn around "What?" "Everything's figured out." "So?"

I can't believe this guy, he thinks after all of this we can just find out the true color of Liz and be back to prefect?!

"That doesn't change the fact about how Jake wants Chessa to be real." "It's not," Emilio says, "And you know you can't stop that, you know that you are done pretending." Emilio's desperate eyes looking into mine. I can't look into them any longer and resist the urge to kiss him, so I walk off.

"Tessa!" Emilio shouts. I keep walking. "Tessa, I love you!"
