Chances pov

I shot the man and walked out of the alley, ducking my head to make sure nobody saw. I began to walk to my Lamborghini which was parked a block down the street

Yo!" Screamed a man in a mask.

I hit my pocket and realized that I was out of bullets. Crap. The man took a swing at me and I ducked but another hit me square in the jaw. I grabbed the guy and hit him in the head before slamming the other against the brick wall. Blood ran down my knuckles as I tried to ignore the stinging pain, knowing that if I acted like it hurt My babygirl would only be more worried.

-Chance then drives home-

It was done. I completed my mission flawlessly other then the fact I got jumped. The glare of the porch light reflected into my windshield as o neared the front of the house, walking past my huge garage.

I quietly swung the large front door open, careful not to wake Tessa who was hopefully asleep. I locked the door and felt a stinging sensation in my finger but tried to hide it just in case Tessa was awake.

The lights in the kitchen flickers in as I hit the switch and saw the TV playing. Elf was on, and the smell of popcorn lingers in the air. I guess Tessa-

"Yo! What the heck?!" I yelled as I saw the sleeping figure of Tessa, cuddled up onto some guys chest.

I ripped the blanket off them and Tessa sat up with a look of shock on her face.

"Chance?!" She said as I continued to yell

"Why is he here?! What the- oh my god?!" I screamed louder making him sit up. Oh it's Tristan, the guy from the grove, can't he just take a hint?!

Tessa stood up and ran towards me but I balled up my fists and stopped myself from swinging. The cuts on my hand began to burn as I squeezed my fists tighter and tighter on the verge of tears, trying with all my strength not to hit something.

"Get the h*** outta my house...." I gritted through my clenched teeth.

"Chill man." He said picking up his phone and walking away, slamming the door on his way out.

"What was that Chance?!" Yelled Tessa

"Uhh What are you doing?!" I yelled back

"I'm hanging out with my FRIEND which you said I could invite over!"

"I meant Erika! Not some dude who's been trying to get in your pants since high school!"

I slammed my fist in the table and it left an imprint of blood, which began to pool on the white wood.

"Oh my god..." Tessa said unclenching my bruised, bleeding fists and looking up at me with soft eyes. "What-"

"It's nothing some guys jumped me but I'm fine, look just go to bed. Or you know what call Tristan and go sleep with him for all I care!"

"Chance...."

"Don't do this to me. I know I've been a d*** to you before and I'm trying to change, but I haven't clubbed or partied just to come home to see you cuddling asleep with some guy! Tessa do you know what he could have done to you?! How many weapons are in this house?! This room alone?!"

"Chance I can protect myself! I'm not a little baby."

"No tessa! You can't! Haven't you figured that out by now! Okay?! Your my babygirl and as long as I'm alive nobody going to touch you!!" I yelled

"I'm strong Chance! I don't need you protecting me! I'm sorry I invited Tristan over but-"

"Just stop Tessa, just go to bed and we'll talk later."

She looked at me and walked halfway up the steps but turned around. "You coming?"

"No imma sleep down here for a bit..." I said grabbing a blanket and turning on Netflix.

"Fine" she muttered walking up stairs, her feet hitting the ground lightly with each step she took.

I laid down and couldn't sleep. Why would Tessa invite him over? She knew I was jealous of him and it's obvious he wants to smash...I mean I do too. But that's something offf with him.... but what?!

I sat up and walked to the fridge, pulling out a cold bottle and unscrewing the lid. I need to forget, and relax or I'll never fall asleep. I slowly sipped on the drink until it was gone and after a few more the room was spinning and not looking right.

I laid back down on the couch and gave in to my body which was practically begging for sleep....

I just wrote the final chapter, should I post everything now or wait?
