Chessa, couple or friends?

Uncontrollable Feelings

Tessa's POV

These days Chance seemed to have been really on edge. Every time he hears the sounds of footsteps he becomes really alert. I am worried. This is not the Chance I fell in love with. I feel like this is all my fault. When he asked me why I got drunk and stuff I responded truthfully. I seriously didn't know. It was all a blur, one thing happened after another. A few days ago Chance started to tell me he had to talk to me about something. But before he could say something, Team 10 walked into my room for a visit. Ever since then we never got a chance to talk. My thoughts were ruined by the doctor walking in to say that I was allowed to be released. 

"As long as you get enough rest, drink plenty of water, and eat healthy foods with a lot of nutrition you should be okay. Just give me a call if you need anything." The doctor handed me his number and Jake signed a form. 

When we got home everyone was thrilled. They all gave me hugs and told me how the house hasn't been the same since the accident. We went out for a dinner to celebrate but I noticed Chance wasn't there. Where was he? I decided to ask Erika when we got back to the house. Once we got back I pulled Erika aside. 

"Let's go to my room. I need to talk to you. It's urgent." 

"Maybe not your room, what about mine?" Erika responded. I was confused. Was Erika hiding something from me?

"What's wrong with mine?"

"Well..."

Before she could finish I ran up the stairs and entered in the passcode. I opened the door finding Chance all curled up in my bed. His eyes were red and puffy and his hair was a mess. I felt tears coming to my eyes. Why did I have to ruin such a good thing? Why did I throw away Chance and I's perfect relationship? I turned around and Erika was looking down at the floor. 

After about a minute she looked up at me. "Tessa? Are you okay? I'm sorry I didn't tell you, I didn't want you to see Chance like this. It's been hard on him Tessa. He hasn't been the same."

"I-It's okay Erika. I think I'm going to go to bed and get some rest."

"Okay T. Sleep well. If you need me don't be afraid to ask." I nodded and headed into my room.

I tried to be as quiet as I could when I got ready for bed. Every once in a while I would check up on Chance. I got into my pajamas and got into bed with him. I kissed him on the forehead and went to sleep.

*The Next Morning*

I woke up to Chance's warm breath on the back of my neck. When I realized that his arms were wrapped around me I smiled. I tried to get out of bed but his strong arms held me back. I had no choice but to wake him up. 

"Hey Chance, wake up," I whispered softly.

His eyes fluttered open. "Tessa? Is that you?"

"Yes Chance it's me. I got released yesterday."

"I'm glad you're back."

"Thanks, Chance. Let's get up we have to get ready. Jake just texted me saying that we were going to meet up for breakfast at a cafe at 9. It's already 8:30.

"Fine. I'm only doing this for you though."

I gave him a weak smile. I missed him, I missed us.
