Chances POV

I couldn't tell Tessa no mater how much I needed her to know. The news would break her and I don't know if she can take it all right now... but on the other hand she needs to know. Her family is trying her best to keep the situation out of the press but nobody knows how long it will be until Tessa finds out...

Tessa's POV

I need Chance to tell me what happened because it clearly involves me. But I'm not sure if I want to know. My whole life my parents have tried to shield me from everything, and with that I have had a decent life. But the real world has so far been a terrible, tragic, place, one that you can't escape.

"Chance?" I said, hoping he was still awake.

"Yeah baby girl?"he said

"First of all I'm not your baby girl, and Please, I need to know what happened." I told him, pulling away from his warm arms. He sat up confused and sighed.

"Fine. But I don't want to do this... when your family was at the airport in New York, something happened. They....well someone... they took your sister....Bella."

My heart dropped from my chest all the way to my feet and shattered. I screamed and hit the pillow letting salty tears escape from my eyes. Chance wrapped his arms around me and all I could do was cry into his chest. My head was throbbing, cheeks stained with tears. I felt Chance rubbing small circles into my back and let out another scream. Out of all people why Bella? My little sister, and one of my best friends. We were always the closest, for I never got along with the others. I pulled away from Chances chest and got out of bed. "You should have just let him kill me..."

I ran to the bathroom and locked the door, only to hear Chance banging on it within seconds. I fumbled to open the medicine cabinet, and heard Chance screaming at me. "Tessa, stop we can fix this.... please." He pleaded.

I continued to fumble through the medicine, Tylenol, Advil, some allegory thing, until I finally found some sleeping pills. "LET ME IN!" Chance screamed, hoping to stop me.

"I'm sorry Chance, none of this is your fault, I swear..."

I started to twist the lid of the bottle and heard Chance mumble something. The banging subsided and I finally got they bottle open, pouring my self water. I heard the sound of a loud bang and then splitting wood as Chance completely  knocked down the bathroom door. I stood frozen in shock, still holding the bottle when Chance hit it out of my hand.

Somehow, my tears had stopped and all I could do was think. It was like I was frozen but time was still ticking down. Chance looked at me shocked, that I would try doing this, but even I knew that it was coming. I pressed my lips against Chances and he seemed startled at first, but then deepened our kiss. It wasn't a "I'm madly in love with you kiss", but it wasn't a "one night thing" either. It was more of a "I'm here for you" and right now that's exactly what I needed.

"Thanks" I muttered, hoping Chance heard me.

"No problem baby's girl, just promise you won't try something like this again."

"Ok. But, one question, why do you have sleeping pills?"

"There not mine..."

"The bottle has your name on it."

Chance sat down on the counter and placed his head in his hands. "It's too much sometimes, the drugs, the killing, the deals, the whole freakin mafia. How does someone expect me to sleep, when all I am is a killer, and a target is drawn on my back..."

Woah. Chance Sutton, the deathly killing machine and famous F boy.... had feelings?!

"Chance, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to..."

"It's fine. Someone needed to know. But I stopped taking them, I swear."

"If you need them you should take one! I'm not going to let you sit up all night long, worrying!"

"Tess, I stopped taking them so I could be up all night. We at least until my body forced me to sleep, then I would give in."

"You need them, here."

"No Tess, I need to protect you! What if the man who had Bella comes for you! How would I live with myself knowing that you getting hurt was my fault."

I said nothing and once Again pulled Chance in for a kiss. It wasn't short, but not a full on make out. Just enough to let us make our way to bed. I laid down on top of Chances chest and made sure he was comfortable. "Goodnight baby girl. Thank you." I heard him say. "Thanks Chance I owe you." I told him. I heard Chance mumble something and then he wrapped his arms around my waist. I kissed him on the cheek like a good friend and laid my head in his warm chest, letting his soothing heartbeat put me to sleep.
