Tessa found out that there was no school tomorrow. She went to clean the whole house. It was therapeutic for her. She washed dirty clothes, mopped the floor while listening to music on the speaker, organized the books by first letter and then watched How I met your mother. She didn't really do much. She got used to the loneliness, the quiet.
Tessa POV:
I forget to say bye to my mom and cousin when I left for Homecoming. I'll text them later.
Tessa then called Ayla and Kylie if they wanted to hang out. It was a bummer they couldn't, but they could next week which made me had a weird feeling in my body. Happiness is what they call it.
I was just walking through the halls of the house. Thinking how life is simple and delicate. Then Jake called.
J: Hey!
T: Why'd you call? Is there school tomorrow also? I just noticed now from the calendar.
J: I just wanted to call, that's it. Oh yea, and there is no school tomorrow but I don't know why.
T: Wanna sleepover? I got nothing to do. (She said bluntly.)
J: U-uh (he laughed nervously.) Yea! When?
T: Do you want to come tonight? We can start of with a movie. Sorry for saying it bluntly. I already did everything I needed for the day.
J: I'll come around 7:00pm.
T: Just ring the doorbell. See ya.
3 Hours later, Jake knocked on the door. Tessa opens the door and hides behind it.
J: Tes-
T: Boo!
J: Mother of-
T: Hahaha, got you!
J: Can I come in now?
T: Sit on the couch.
J: So what are going to do today?
T: Let's watch a movie. A scarrryyyy one. Friend request. Sound good?
J: Let's go.
Tessa slides open the door.
J: Ohohohoho, my favorite room! Mwah!
T: Chill down Ohio boy. You want the electric blankets? It's by that area.
J: Don't mind if I do.
They started to watch the movie but 30 minutes later, Tessa fell asleep.
J POV:
She looks so damn beautiful.
Tessa started to wake up.
T: I want food. Let's get some mcdonalds.
J: Wanna go somewhere else?
T: Burritos?
J: Good enough.
T: Yay! I know one that's open 24/7.
They got this burritos and was about to arrive at the house but realized a car was following them.
J: Oh shit.
T: Who are they?
J: I don't know but we have to go somewhere else other than the house so they don't know here you live.
T: Okay.
They started to drive around but it's been 3 hours and the car is still following them.
T: You know what? I'm gonna talk to them. All I want to do is enjoy out dinner but we can't.
J: No do-
Tessa walks out the car.
T: Hey! What the hell you guys following us for!?
These 3 guys from school started to get out of the car.
P1: So it's Tessa Brooks. What's a young beautiful girl doing outside? You should come with me. We'll keep you safe.
P2 & P2 started to come closer to Tessa.
T: Don't come near me you idiots.
P2: Oh! So she's a feisty one!
J: Why don't you leave the pretty girl alone and we'll get out of your way.
P3: Not unless we get her.
They 3 guys started to walk at a faster pace toward Tessa.
J: Tessa!
Jake carried her bridal style and put her in the car. Jake then drove as fast as he can while the other car was still following them. Jake then called 911 and reported the car ID. A few minutes later they were caught.
P1: This isn't over you know.
J: It is.
The police locked them 3 in the car and after a few minutes the streets were clear.
Finally the streets were clear.
T: We should take a picture. It looks cool here. So.... Aesthetic.
J: Looking like that?
T: I don't mind looking like a potato. Tag me also!
They took photos as if they were the only people alone. Which they were.
J: What's your username?
T: TessaBrooks.
J: Hey, we got out first photo together. I hope they don't take this photo as a wrong way. Haha.
T: What way?
J: Like we dati- I mean that I still bully you, but I don't.
T: Oh. Hahaha, It's good we became friends. One less problem. (She smiled)
J: Let's go back so we can eat.
T: Oh yea! IM SO HUNGRY!
J: You told me like a 100 times.
T: Sorry.
They both arrived at the house.
T: Where do you want eat? In the kitchen, the movie room, my room?
J: Let's eat in the kitchen. We can talk.
T: Well, if that's where you want to eat.
They ate, talked, laughed. Like they were the bestest of friends.
T: I think it's time to sleep now.
J: I think so.
T: Your room is there. Just wake me up if you need anything. Good night.
J: Goodnight Tessa. (He sighs.)
An hour later, Jake was still awake. There was lightning and thunder. Steps came from the halls and then the door opened.
J: Are you scared? (He started laughing.)
T: N-no! I-I just wanted to see if you were oka- never mind, what's the point. Can you sleep with me tonight? Please! I don't wanna be alone hearing that.
