♡Tessa and Hardin♠️ The day he saw my underwear

Chapter 19

Tessa's Pov
T: stay here
I tell Hardin getting off the bed,
as im about to reach the door i hear whoever knocking again
gosh damn calm down

I open the door and my eyes have to adjust whats infront of them for a second
??: are you Tessa Young?
T: whos asking?
There are two men standing there and one of them reaches into their pocket and pulls out a badge
??: we're from the hartgrove hospital, Its a psychiatric center a couple miles west
T: okay so why are you here?
Im becoming impatient and slightly annoyed
??: we have received noise complaints of yelling and an anonymous tip that i believe it was your mother who is suffering from Alzheimer's disease? may we come in?
T: do you have a warrant?
I say giving them an annoyed expression
??: actually yes we do.

They walk up in my house looking around
They both head down the hall way and one of them peaks in my room and the other peaks in my moms room
??: in here
The tall bald guy says to the medium sized one with gray and black hair
They both enter my moms room and i run down the hall following them inside
C: who are you?
I see my mom staring at the two men
??: ma'am we have received noise complaints and potential abuse, do you have any medical conditions we should know about

C: no?
They look at eachother
then back at me
??: we are going to put your mom in psychiatric care for a few days
T: what?! you cant barge in my home and then take my mother
I yell already feeling tears threatening to spill
??: yes we can we have medical records of her diagnosis, and if she denies it then she probably doesn't remember she has it, has she shown any signs of forgetfulness? loss of appetite, drowsiness

My heart stops and i feel a hand on my shoulder,
I jump and turn around to see Hardin
I tackle him in a hug as the men turn around approaching my mother

After fits of yelling and crying from my mother, as im watching her being carried out of her own home while i just stand there broken, telling her i love her and that everything is going to be okay

After they left i fall to my knees sitting against my wall, to numb to cry, to scream i just sit there as Hardin sits next to me
Its silent for a while

6 months later

Im visiting my Mom today, she's gotten to the point where no matter how many times i show up she just never remembers who i am

I go to the front desk
T: Carol young
She hands me a pen and clipboard to sign in

I go back to my mothers room and she's laying in her bed with her reading glasses on and a book

T: hey
She looks up at me and smiles
C: hi.. Tessa right?
i gulp
T: yeah, I brought you something
I pull an almond joy out of my bag knowing they are her favorites
C: oh these are my favorite candies thank you so much dear

I hand her the chocolate bar and she quickly unwraps it taking bites out of it
T: so what are you reading?
C: its called The Gunslinger its by this amazing author Steven king. you heard of him?
I just nod my head smiling at her

T: you know if you like his books you will love the adaptations of his books into movies
Her eyes light up
C: there are movies on his books?!
T: yeah id have to show you one sometime
I smile and grab her hand

We are interrupted when we hear a knock at the door
??: ladies its closing time, you can come back around 8 am tomorrow
a sweet black lady informs us
T: okay thank you *smiles*

I check the time on my phone to see its 8 pm. Ive been in court all day setting up the paperwork for a restraining order against Trevor. I recently found out he was the reason my mom was taken away from me, and ive been so caught up in everything that i forgot to make sure that arrogant asshole stays far away from me
