CHAPTER 4

"Tessa, let's go." Hunter says grabbing me by the wrist. Try getting out of his grip but he is too strong. It's not long before Luke grabs my other wrist and pulls me closer to him. I feel like they are two puppies fighting over the same chew toy. "Can you just back off she isn't your property and she is old enough to make her own choices." Luke stands up for me. Luke is a really nice guy I don't know why Hunter is like this. Is he trying to ruin my life?

"I know but I'm not letting you do it again." Hunter says loudly. Do what again? What are they talking about? "That was a lifetime ago and how do you even remember that?" Luke says with a raised eyebrow. Hunter rolls his eyes and grabs my arm again. This time I manage to get away from his grip. "I'm going home." I say to Jessie who was standing a few feet away from us.

I grab my purse and storm out of the bar. "See what you did?" I hear Hunter shout. I keep on walking. Where am I even going? I'll be walking the whole night and I don't have a car to drive myself and I don't have nearly enough money for a cab.

I've been walking for 10 minutes when I notice a black Audi stopping next to me. The window rolls down and it is non-other than the irritating Harold Simpson. Why won't he just leave me alone? "Get into the car." He demands. "No." I simply answer. He starts laughing in an annoyed way. "Why do you have to be so stubborn?" really I'm the stubborn one? "Why do you have to be so irritating?" I mock him. "Just get into the car; I think we need to talk about, what is going on between us." He says waving his finger in the space between us. "Fine, but you are taking me home after."

I hope he has a very good explanation for his behavior tonight. I hate it when men think they own woman and I hate it even more when men think they can tell us what to do.

I get into the passenger seat and put my seatbelt on. "I hope you know how to drive." I say with my one eyebrow raised. "If been driving for 5 years, what kind of driving instructor gives someone a license if they can't even drive?" he has a point. "How old are you by the way?" I ask curiously. "Why do you want to know?" he asks with a cheeky smile on his face. "Oh I'm just asking it would be weird if I'm driving around with a 35 year old man.

People would probably think you're my dad or you're kidnapping me." I say laughing. He doesn't really look 35 years old but he doesn't look 18 either. "Who knows, maybe I am kidnapping you." He says seriously.

WHAT!

Is he really kidnapping me? What if he kills me? What if he really is a 35 year old man who is after young girls and he-?

I feel a large amount of impact when Hunter's car hit a wall. What the hell? It takes me a few seconds to realize what just happened. I look over to Hunter. I start to panic when I saw him covered in blood. "Tessa, I need you to calm down." He says getting out of the car. I also get out of the car because I need some fresh air. It feels like I can't breathe. Hunter is walking to Luke who is standing outside of his car smoking a cigarette. What? Why is Luke here?

"You're an idiot!" Hunter says as his fist collides with Luke's jaw. I feel light headed. I don't feel very well. All of a sudden I can't feel my legs anymore and everything goes black.

Hunter's POV:

I hit him in the face a few times and he is bleeding pretty badly. Good. He deserves it! What if Tessa got hurt? I Wouldn't be able to live with myself if something happens to her. "Hunter!" I hear a familiar voice behind me. I turn around to see my best friend Leeroy Thompson. How did he know I was here? "What happened?" Leeroy asked stressed.

Why is he stressed? I'm the one sitting on top of an unconscious man with bloody fists. "The idiot drove right into my car!" I say with anger in my voice. "Is he still mad at you for what happened to his girlfriend?" Leeroy asks nervously. "Yeah I don't really give a fuck anymore. He should be happy Tessa isn't hurt or else I would have killed him!" I say honestly. It sounds bad but it is true I would do anything to protect her.

"Tessa? You mean her?" Leeroy says pointing to Tessa. She is lying next to the car. Shit! I get up and run to her as fast as I possibly can. "Leeroy, go get your car!" I command. Seconds later Leeroy stops next to me. I carefully put Tessa in the car and Leeroy starts driving to the hospital. I have only met this girl a few hours ago and I'm already on my way to the hospital. How do I do it? I'm useless.

This may sound selfish but I'm happy I'm the one who is taking her to the hospital. Who knows what Luke would have done to her? I'm not letting he same thing happen to Tessa. Taylor didn't deserve what happened to her. She's not dead or anything like that but she still didn't deserve it. Why does Luke always come after my girls? Why can't he choose someone else to mess with? Someone I don't know and don't give a fuck about.

Tessa is lying with her head on my lap and we are 2 minutes away from the hospital. "Hurry Leeroy!" I'm getting really worried about her. She haven't moved or made a noise since she passed out.

Minutes later we arrived at the hospital's emergency unit, without wasting a second I picked Tessa up in my arms and ran in.

"Someone help me!" I shout desperation clear in my voice. "What happened?" a short girl with brown hair and sparkly eyes ask me."We were in an accident and, I don't know, she was fine at first but when we got out of the car she passed out." I say calmly. I try my best to hold back the tears but it is hard. "Okay but first you need to fill in some paperwork." The nurse says kindly. "What? She could be seriously hurt but you want me to fill in paperwork!" I snap.

Are they being serious right now? I thought you need to be smart to be a doctor. "Please calm down sir." The nurse says with a worried look in her eyes. "I'll calm down when you fucking help her!" I shout making sure everyone in the building heard me.
