♡Tessa and Hardin♠️ The day he saw my underwear

Chapter 25

Hardin's Pov
T: Hardin theres something you should know

I stare at her in anticipation waiting for her to continue

I grab her face and she flinches a little
at my touch
I slowly bring my hands down and grab one of her hands instead
H: hey whats wrong
T: I-
I see tears swell up in her beautiful bluish grey eyes
T: can we maybe talk somewhere else
She says wiping the fresh tears under her eyes, her head is now low looking at the ground like shes ashamed of herself

I dont respond I just grip her hand tighter
H: did you drive here?
she nods her head

I scan the parking lot for her black Mitsubishi lancer

Once I spot it I drag her over to her car
H: do you want me to drive?
She just nods her head again

She always loved it when I'd drive even when we were in her car.

I walk over to the drivers side and I hear Tessa yell
T: wait!
I give her a confused look as my grip on the door handle loosens

She walks around the car to the drivers side and blocks the door
T: maybe I should drive
I give her another confused expression
She sighs
T: im on my period.. and I accidentally got it on the seat
She mumbles the words to where I cant understand
H: what?
I try to look her in the eyes but her head is once again focused on the ground and her face is a light shade of red
T: im on my period and it got on the seat
She says sounding defeated
My face softens and I reach for the handle behind her making our fronts push together
T: Hardin please I dont want you to see it, its embarrassing
I open the door anyway
Its not even that bad, there is a little blood but not much.

I turn to her to see her biting her lip while standing there awkwardly, I look her up in down admiring my hoodie on her with those tight shorts
she is so fine.
H: you got any napkins?
Her head shoots up at me and she gives me a puzzled look while shaking her head no
H: get in, im driving just give me a minute

Tessa's Pov
I walk over to the passenger side and hop in while watching him walk back into the gas station

I feel my self getting anxious at the thought of telling him what happened to me last night, It also dosen't help that im reminded of what he did to me everytime I look at him.
How can I forgive him? Am I even ready to?

I see him jogging back to the car with wet naps and he opens up the door

I watch him struggle to get the plastic wrap around the lid off
T: let me see it
He looks down at me and tosses me the napkins

My heart flutters knowing his intentions

I get the plastic off easy with my nails and I take a napkin out leaning over to scrub the fabric seat
H: here give me one
I eye him and shake my head
T: Hardin you dont have to really its my mess, I appreciate it though
I give him a weak smile and continue to clean the seat
T: there
I say as Hardin gets in
I close the container and grab the 2 used wet naps disposing them into a plastic bag in the back seat.

H: where do you wanna go?
This makes me feel like we are about to go on a fun road trip like we would always do, I wish that was the case.

T: somewhere quiet

I feel a pressure in my chest as I gather what im going to say to him about last night and our future.
I dont know how or if im gonna forgive him, It hurts to much.. my mind is a mess.

Were driving on the empty long twisty roads and I already recognize where we are

He pulls over and that beautiful waterfall comes into view along with the huge rocks and the thousands of trees that suround us
