Tessa's POV

I saw myself?! What?! I could see my body, why am I not in it. Chance was sitting on a chair, covering his face with his hands while Alex was in the corner on her phone. Mr. and Mrs Sutton were next to Chance, there expressions stone cold. I walked over to Chance and hugged him, but he couldn't see me! "CHANCE!" I screamed at him. He didn't move. "Chance..." I said as I fell to the floor. My body laid lifeless on the bed. What had I done?

It's funny how people only Miss someone when their gone, or try to be. Never when someone's here do they love you as much as they do when they lose you. Why though?

I looked up at Chance and tried to move his hands from his face, but I couldn't. I laid down on top of my lifeless body and shut my eyes, if I was going to die, I want to do it now instead of putting Chance through the agony of waiting...

I gasped. I looked around the room, un like before but. I couldn't move. I wiggled my fingers. Was I alive?! The beeping sound picked up and Chance looked up with bloodshot eyes. I caused him all that pain. I weakly turned my head and Chance stood up. "Tessa..." I gave him a hug and looked at him. "I'm sorry." I said. "Why?" Chance said.

"I don't want to talk about it..."

"But it won't ever get better if you don't..."

"I can't change it Chance. I just have to live with it."

"Oh I'm sorry this is all my fault."

"You say sorry too many times Chance. It means nothing now. Just a word with no real meaning."

"Is this my fault?"

"No, can you get her out of here please?"

"Who Alex?"

"Yeah. She reeks of alcohol and it's making my head hurt."

Chance walked her out of the room and his parents left too leaving us alone in the room. "Why did you really do it baby gi- I mean Tessa."

"Like I said it's nothing. I just had thoughts..."

Then Chance gave me another hug and his sadness seemed to fade away. I couldn't help but wonder if Chance ever really saw me as more then a forced friend. Because I see him as way more then that...

I'm so glad that Tessa is okay, I don't know what I would do without her. She means a lot to me although we're just friends. Sort of...

I waited for Tessa to say something else but she just looked blankly out the window. Alex walked back in and sat down next to me running her hand down my face.

"Babe can we go now? I'm hungry and tired.." she said whining.

"Ugh not yet I want to make sure Tessa's okay. Alex she just tried to kill her self."

"About that baby, When is she going to move out? It bothers me to have to see her face and know that she could snap at any moment.. she needs to go to one of those insane asylums or something. It's not safe to have her around..." Alex said almost smirking.

"She will move out after we get married. I promise..." I said

"Okay baby. I love you so much." Alex said leaning closer to my face.

"Love you too." I said back smiling.

"Why the f*** are you still in here! I told you to leave like ten minutes ago!" Tessa screamed sitting up.

"You think I care what a bit-"

"Umm Alex. Did I ask you to speak? no. Did I ask you to look at me? No. So why the h*** are you doing it. Because sweetie if I have to I'll come over there and move you Myself ." Tessa said liking Alex dead in the eye.

Alex looked at me and left the room. I felt like I should follow her but stayed for some reason.

"What was that Tess?"

"What was what?"

"Why do you hate Alex so much?"

"Uhh it's a long list and it takes too long to say..."

"Well look I'm giving you until the wedding to-"

"Yeah yeah yeah... I heard I'm just some psychopath. I "not safe" am I Chance?"

"Tessa it's not that..."

"Yes it is Chance. Because that's what Alex wants and she gets what she wants!Every time... no matter what..." Tessa said looking out the window. "I need money Chance. I need at least 500,000. I need a apartment And I need to get a job and then find a way to go to court in Bella's custody case, and it's too much.
     I lost everything Chance. The only people I ever knew are dead and I have no where else to go. So the next time that your little girlfriend calls me a psychopath, think about what really happened to me.  " I said shocked but proud.
