New Start

She came back!

I wake up to a loud noise that is my alarm. I get up and wake Smith up, I get dressed and go back down stairs and make breakfast. I drive to school and walk inside. I wait for Tessa and she comes. She runs up and hugs me and I smile. "I love you" I say into her hair. "Love you too" she says. "Don't say too baby"

"Why not?" she asks and steps back waiting for my response.

"Because it sounds like you're just agreeing with me." I say and bring her close again and hug her. I kiss her head. "Okay sorry about that." she apologizes for the one thousandth time. I kissed her and we head to English. She sits down and lays her head on my shoulder and traces the tattoos on my arm. I put my arm around her waist and we stay like that. I feel her breathing slow and I realize she is asleep.

" MISS YOUNG!?" the teacher yells

She jumps and I glare at the teacher. She doesn't know what's going on.

"Hmmh??" she mumbles and rubs her eyes. I kiss her cheek and tell her that she fell asleep.

"Miss young, why are you sleeping in my class?"

"Sorry miss I didn't sleep much last night." She admits she looks at the ground and I pull her to me and she starts to cry a little bit. I get up with her in my arms and as I'm about to leave with her the teacher stops us.

"Where are you going??"

"To talk about something I will be right back" I leave with Tessa and set her on the ground. I lay her head in my lap and she snuggles up against me. "Hey why didn't you sleep?" I asked a little worried. I hope it wasn't because of what I did. "Because I have nightmares about Gavin abusing me and I keep having them, I have them every night and I didn't find a cure until I fell asleep in your bed." She cries and I feel horrible. I made her leave because of my fucked up past. I hold her and apologize. She looks at me and then back down we head back to class and everyone looks at me and her.

"WHAT?!" I yell and they all look away. I sit down and Tessa sits on me and snuggles up against my chest. When class is over we head to lunch. Tessa falls asleep again so I end up taking her to my house so she can sleep.

She wakes up around 8 ish and she looks confused. "Good morning baby '' I say jokingly and kiss her head. I get up and check on smith. He is doing his homework. I watch him a little longer when he gets mad and throws his notebook at the wall. I walk in and pick it up.

"DON'T!" he yells at me. I have no idea what's gotten into him.

"What's up? Why are you acting like this?" I asked him and set his stuff on his desk.

"You want to know?"

"YES!" I yell because I have Tess waiting for me and he wont answer me.

"Okay, so the first day of school was horrible. I hated my teachers. They didn't understand my accent and they always yell at me for doing my work my way. The way we did it in London. I hate being the new kid. This girl also asked me to be her girlfriend and I said yes then she laughed at me. She had her real boyfriend and he beat me up. That's why I have a black eye. I never see mum, I DON'T UNDERSTAND THIS. why couldn't you just be normal?" He says I feel bad for him and what he said last hurt a lot.

"I'm sorry that you never see mum but she has to work because our idiot dad left us with NOTHING! NOTHING. I'M SORRY that I can't be normal, Dad never taught me how to be a man. I grew up with crappy friends and I can't fix that." I'm happy that I can't though because then I would never have met Tessa and I would never be happy. I get up and tell him I'm going to be back.

I walk into my room and see Tessa lying down with Wuthering Heights in her hands, her eyebrows pushed together. I love her. She is all mine. "Hey I am going to help Smith with his homework. You can come if you want." I say and get up. As I'm about to leave she gets up and jumps on me like always. "I'm coming jellybean" she says and kisses me. We walk into my brothers room and he looks at me.
