*Hardin's POV*
That ass whole touched her. He touched my brother. He has a bruise across his face. If I ever see Gavin again I will murder him. We arrived home and I brought Tessa to our room, I lay her down and go to talk to smith. "Hey, What happened? Like after I left?" I ask
"Well Tessa started crying and that man slapped her. I looked at her and she cried again. He slapped her harder that time. I couldn't hold back and I started crying and screaming. He slapped me. Tessa tried to hit him back, but he hit her once more. Her mum said that she was going to make you pay, For stealing Tessa. She also said she was going to teach me a lesson for snitching. She stopped at that place and he tied Tessa to that bed. Her mum tied me to a chair to watch. He set up a tape and recorded her. She slapped him so he gave her that drug. He started kissing her. Then he- He umm...-." He stops. "He what!?" I ask, I'm not sure I want to know. I need to know though. "He fingered her..." He looks at me. "He- OMG" I am going to kill him. I bring Smith to the bathroom and force him to take a shower, He looks at me again. I dry him off and he gets dressed. He follows me into my room where Tessa lies. She looks lifeless. I know she is in there. She moves a little. "How big was the piece of the drug?" I ask so I know how long I have to suffer. "About a third of a quarter." He tells me. That means I only have to wait another 6 hours.
6 hours later. Tessa is a little less out of it. She still can't talk. I start to cry and I sit down on the ground. This is my fault. I let them take her. Smith was taken because of me. I didn't even try hard enough to stop them. "Hardin?" Tessa's voice says very faintly. "Yes? Baby are you okay?" I ask her and rush over to her. Of course she is not okay. She was just beaten and raped by her mom and ex boyfriend. "Hardin I-" She starts to say something but throws up. She starts to cry. I bring her to the bathroom and hold her hair out of the way. She vomits once again. I slowly rub her back and she keeps going. !0 minutes later she is sitting in the bath with me. I wash her back and hair. I washed where he touched her. She cries and hugs me. I hold her until the water is cold. I rap her in a towel and bring her to my room. I dress her and then lay her down on clean sheets and turn on her baking show. She smiles for what seems like years. "I l-love y-you" She stutters and I hand her a trash bin. She goes another round.
----------------------------
*Tessa's POV*
I just want to be free. I can talk, But I can't move that well. I keep throwing up. Hardin washed me, dressed me and put my favorite show on. I end up trying to sleep the rest of the drug off.
I wake up and run to the bathroom, I hover over the toilet. Nothing, Nothing comes. I try to force something out. Hardin comes in and holds my hair, He rubs my back. Nothing. I stand up and look at him. I break down and cry. He holds me close. "Thank you so much Hardin, You helped me." I cry into him. I feel tears hit my head. I look up and see that he is crying. "What's wrong?" I look him in the eyes and he shakes his head and looks away. Does he not love me anymore? Does he not want me because of what they did? I rush to the toilet and vomit. He holds my hair. He doesn't rub my back. I feel gross. I walk to the shower and turn it on. Hardin watches me. I undress. He looks away. He doesn't love me anymore. It's okay I will look for somewhere else to live. I step in the water and wash myself. I wash my neck really well. I wish I never met Gavin. He was really nice at first. We went to fairs and water parks. We got ice cream. He was my everything. One day I caught him in my best friends bed. I was so mad I left him and her. He started beating me. I remember my friend's face when I walked in her room to ask her what type of takeout we should get. Gavin was lying on top of her. She was so into him. She looked at me and I dropped my bag. Gavin looked at me and he got off her and came over to me and shoved me out and slammed the door in my face. I ran away crying. I had no idea where I was going. I ran into a person, She smiled and I apologized. She took me in and I told her everything. She offered to let me move in with her. Molly. She has now betrayed me, I told her everything and she betrayed me. I then got stolen and raped. I start to cry. My face is hot, I feel tears running down my cheeks.
I turn off the water and step out, I rap a towel around my body. I walk over to the mirror and swipe my hand over it. I look at my face and see the red hand print over it. I run my hand over the mark, I remember the feeling of the sting. I hear a knock at the door. "Give me a sec." I say. "It's me tess, I just wanna know if you're okay. Also what do you want to eat?" He sounds so sweet, I know he hates me now because Gavin touched me, I know he wants to leave me. One day he will leave like everyone else. "Ummm... I'll be out in a minute then we can talk." I say and brush my teeth. I dry off and fix my menstrual problems. I walk out of the bathroom and into Hardin's bedroom. I get dressed and walk into Smith's room, He is lying down. "Smith?" I ask, I need to apologize. It's all my fault that he had to see that. It's my fault that he got token. "Yes Tessa?" Smith asks but doesn't look at me. "I am- I'm really so so sorry. It's my fault that that happened to you. I am leaving soon." I say and look down. "Your what?" Smith asks. "Why? You love Hardin, Don't you?" He asks and sits up and looks me in the eyes. "Of course, I just don't want to put you in danger, Also I don't think Hardin wants me anymore..." I say and tears run down my face. "So I'm leaving I-" I'm cut off. "Your what?" Hardin walks in. "I'm- I'm leaving, I don't want to put you in danger. I also-" Smith interrupts me. "She doesn't think you love her anymore." He says and then hugs me and runs off. "I just... I don't know. Molly hurt me. My ex hurt me. My old best friend Hurt me. You'll probably leave me." I look down and start to cry. He walks over to me and holds me. "Nothing is ever going to take me away from you. If you leave I won't be able to function. I love you. You will always be mine, I will always want you in my life. You saved me from my bad habits. Your mine, I love you baby." He says and picks me up, He walks me down stairs. He sets me on the counter and hands me some water.
