Tessa's Pov
T: mom, Hardin is on his way
C: oh, alright, will he be joining us for breakfast?
T: i dont know you'll have to ask him *smiles*
I feel my phone vibrate in my hand
Im here
   seen
I walk to the door and stand on the porch hugging my chest, its fucking cold
Hardin hops out of his car and walks towards me and embraces me in a hug
H: its freezing and you hardly have clothes on * chuckles*
T: yeah lets go inside

We walk into the house and to the kitchen
C: oh you're here, ive made breakfast if youd like *smiles* you too Tessa, you guys should eat up

I havent eaten in 3 days. My body is finally getting used to it, I just remember how i felt when I couldn't fit into that stupid dress, Molly wasnt much help either, but this isn't Molly's decision, this is mine.

T: im good mom thanks
I look at Hardin
T: if you want some go ahead
He gets a plate from the cabinet
H: thank you Carol for making breakfast
C: ofcourse!
C: Tessa i need to go grocery shopping, is there some things you'd like me to pick up maybe some books, candy?
Has she forgotten we're poor too? we've never been able to just throw our money around
T: um maybe thats not the best idea, me and Hardin will go for you
C: i suppose, here i wrote a list
She hands me the folded piece of paper
T: okay we'll leave once Hardin finishes eating
C: alright im gonna go hop in the shower
She leaves the kitchen and i hear the bathroom door close and the water turn on
T: im gonna go change ill be right back
Hardin looks up from his food and nods

I go back into my room and dig through my dressers and pick out a pair of pj pants and decide to just wear the same swetshirt

I

throw my hair up into a ponytail and walk out of my room, to see Hardin sitting on his phone in the kitchen
T: im ready
He looks up and moves out from behind the counter and walks up to me
H: even when you dont try your still beautiful
I blush and look down
T: awh thank you *smiles*

He grabs his keys off the counter and I grab my phone, and we leave the house

We're sitting in the car on the way to the store
H: so, what happened this morning
I mentally sigh remembering everything that took place after Hardin dropped me off earlier
T: she didn't remember me Hardin
My voice breaks mid sentence
T: she was scared of me, she begged...
I pause not wanting to talk about how she begged me to not hurt her
T: she thought i was going to hurt her
I feel his hand grab mine
H: what do you think you should do? do you think she'd be better off in a hospital
My heart aches, I didnt think it would happen this soon for her to really forget her own daughter, maybe she is better off at a hospital
T: I dont know, I just dont want her to forget me
H: then just remind her of all the old memories you guys have
T: we dont exactly have to many memories, and the ones we do have are either arguments or her telling me why i would look better if i dressed like this or acted like that
H: then make new ones
Thats actually really smart, she only has a a few years at this point why not make up for all the bad shit
T: you know what, your right

We shop at the store and head back to my house
I grab 2 bags and Hardin grabs 3
We walk to the door and i unlock it
T: mom were back
I set the keys on the table and the groceries on the counter
I hear the TV on in the living room so i make my way over there, I find my mom sleeping on the recliner wrapped in a blanket
I smile at her and walk back to the kitchen
T: shes asleep
I whisper to Hardin who is putting up the groceries, I help finish and we walk off to my room
I close and lock the door behind me
T: *sighs* what a day
H: its only 3 o'clock *laughs*
T: it feels a lot longer *laughs*

I plop on the bed that Hardin is already laying on, I feel weak from not eating, but its not too bad

Hardin's Pov
Ive noticed lately that something's off with Tessa, shes just appeared different, I dont know what it is
H: has anything been bothering you lately?
T: no? why?
H: you've just seemed kind of off
T: well i can promise you im fine
She smiles at me and grabs my face and squishes my cheeks and kisses me
I slide my hand down her stomach and to her underwear line
I feel her breath slightly quicken
and she hops on my lap and straddles me
Before i know it i can feel myself getting hard
and i know she can feel it to because she slightly moves her hips
H: Tess.. that feels so good
I groan and she kisses my neck and sucks on it
Then my phone goes off
Tessa lifts her head at the sound of my phone ringing
T: well thats a mood killer
I grab my phone and answer it
H: hello?
H: right now?
H: can i come in like an hour?
H: *sighs* yeah i guess
H: okay love you too, bye
T: whats up?
H: my mum wants me home to help find out whats wrong with her car, she broke down on the way to work today
T: damn im sorry, ill call you later tho
She kisses me and hops off my lap
I dont want to leave but i know my mum is eager to fix whatever problem that is causing her car to break down so I leave anyway

H: are you free tomorrow?
T: i actually go back to work tomorrow
H: riight, my little mail lady *smirks*
T: *laughs* please never call me that
She kisses me one last time
T: ill text you when i get off tho, maybe i could swing by your place
H: sounds good to me, my mom really likes you

Tessa's Pov
Hardin leaves and i clean up the mess around the kitchen, and then go to my room for the night
