The story of my life

Cheating

The thought of the unknown and unopened package was making me nervous so i just took Hardin's arms from me and went to open it.

It was a letter. who writes letters in this decade?

Hey Tessa, it me your new friend form Versailles palace, just wanted to know how you were doing and wanted to let you know that now i have your address, so no running away form me. Oh and by the way, leave Hardin alone, he is not yours, you make him to stay with you but i promise i will change that, as i did in the past. 

Under the letter there was another envelope, after opening it, i saw some pictures of Hardin with her, they were making out, and someone took pictures, i was disgusted and started to cry, making sure i didn't make any noise, just the endless tears leaving my eyes. I couldn't stand these pictures and i put them back in the envelope, by the time i thought i was sure that there were no other surprises, i noticed a flash drive. I turned on the computer and put the flash drive inside. A picture of Hardin came by with someone sitting on his lap, i clicked for the video to start and i was already crying like crazy, knowing what was waiting for me. 

I was right it was a video of Hardin and Mary making out, at this point i couldn't hold the sobs and turned off the computer i took some clothes, ran to the lobby

''Excuse me, can i book a room?''

''Yes ma'am of course you can, but it seems that you are already in one,'' she said asking fir my passport and checking on the computer.

''yeah, i want a new one for today''

''Anything happened ma'am?'' she asked, maybe she noticed, the already cold tears and red cheeks,

''No everything is fine, just want to stay alone for today''

''ok, here is your room, it is on the other side of the hotel, we are sorry but is is very far form your other room''

''even better,'' i said taking the card and when i wanted to go to the elevator i added

''may i ask you, not to tell anyone the room i'm staying in''

''yes ma'am, we don't anyways''

''thank you,'' i said running to the elevator. i opened the door to the new room and collapsed on the bed crying and sobbing, the images and video kept running to me and making me cry even more, after minutes of crying i got a call from my mom

''Hey honey, we have missed you so much how are you doing?'' i didn't want my mom to understand that i was crying, at least not until i find out more about those pictures and videos

''Hey mom, i have missed you too, i have been doing good,'' i didn't notice that i sniffed a few times 

''Tessa, have you been crying? is he hurting you? do i have to come? do we have to buy you a ticket back?''

''Mom, no he didn't do anything, i'm just a little bit sick, that's all,'' i said with tears in my eyes, i was barely hiding the sobs so that she wouldn't understand but it was very hard, so i made sure that the talk would end sooner. 

''ok, mom i'm tired, i'm going to sleep now, talk to you tomorrow, love you''

''love you too Tessa, take care,'' i hung up and went to the bed, closed my already wet eyes and tried to sleep without the pictures coming to my mind. 

Hardin's pov

I woke up moving my hands up and down trying to find Tessa as i always do, but i couldn't so i quickly opened my eyes 

''Tessa?''

''Tess?''

''Tessa, its not funny anymore,'' i said looking everywhere. where is she?, i put my hands in my hair not knowing what to do, i tried to call her but she didn't pick up, then i noticed her computer and thought maybe she used it and it could give me some answers, when i opened it, i saw an old video that i thought i buried a long time ago , but guess what, i was wrong, it was me and Mary, and someone filmed us. Damn it. i quickly went to the hotel phone in my nightstand to call the reception and noticed the envelope that we got yesterday was opened, there was a letter, and pictures of me and Mary again. That bitch, how could she do that? Shit i have to find her. I quickly went to the lobby 

''hello, have you seen this girl?'' i said showing them a picture.

''no sorry, sir, my shift started at 2 am and after that i haven't seen that girl, anything happened sir?''

''i cant find her''

''what is her name?''

''Tessa, Tessa Young''

''well it seems that we have a Tessa Young staying in our hotel who checked in yesterday at 1:30 in the morning''

''perfect. where is her room?''

''we cant tell you that sir, we have privacy rules''

''Ok listen to me, she is my fucking girlfriend and i cant find her for god's sake, so if you don't tell me the number of her room i will make sure to break every damn door of your hotel till i find her.''

''654 room''

''i thought so,'' i said and ran to the elevator. i was knocking on her door but she didn't open it

''Tessa, Tessa please open the door, i will explain everything''
