Patience

Prologue

Tessa

(Present day....)

I dial her number.

My hand shakes as thoughts rummage through my brain. I feel numb. Emotionless. Weird almost.
I have literally no idea, about why I am doing this thing. Taking refuge where it could only cause me more pain.

Well I know the answer.. Because I have no other option. I have come to a dead end.

I know this could totally backfire. This could cause chaos. But at least this could be my chance to understand why he did this.

Or no ? Maybe I could just disappear because as he said? Because I couldn't fit in...

"No, I should try... " I mumble solely to myself. Trying to gain strength.

I press the call button and wait… and wait

" Hellloo!!! Miss Young !!!! ." The enthusiasm is  evident in her voice....

" Kim… " my voice breaks right there..

" Tessa??? You, all right?? What_"

"Nooo.." I choke cutting her mid sentence. "I need help.... I need to talk .... I need....." I sob, unable to finish...

"OK…  Okay… Calm down..... Relax..... What did he do..... He "

" He He ... I just need to talk....." The lump in my throat is not making it easy. 

" OK ok. Easy. Tell me… What's wrong?? " she says, worried.

" Can I come over?? " At this point I do not even care that my voice sounds like a injured cat.

" Yes, of course. Tomorrow ?"

"NO!! Now!!."  I whine, obscenely loud.

" Tessa, you are scaring me. It's 8 pm. You will reach late if you start now. You know he is going to freak out.. "

I scoff. He? Worried? Was he ever? Or everything was a lie?

" He won't… " He literally mentioned that.

" Fine…  But are you ok enough to drive?"

" Yes , Yes . I am.. I will go there.. And listen, please don't tell anyone "

"OK. See you… Be careful okay? "

"Yeah. "

I disconnect the call quickly.

I sneak into the car to avoid attention in the parking lot.

And drive out the area trying hard to focus on the road through my messy pooling eyes. Hoping to find some answers.
