Fall'n For The New Guy | | Harrison Reid

Chapter Thirteen

"Tess? What happened?" I hear Hoppo's voice behind me.

"Her dad just passed away.." He tells him.

I can feel Hoppo's face drop. Him and my dad where the best of friends.

I hiccup, I grab onto Chappo's shirt pulling him into a tighter hug.

I just lost the only family I had left....

You can't imagine how broken my heart it right now.

I pull apart from Chappo. I wipe away my tears away from my face sniffling. "He's in a better place now.." I tell them giving a wavering smile warm tears still making their way down my face. I wipe them away. "I should finish closing the shutters." I get up Chappo gives me a sad look of sympathy. I look at Hoppo and he gives a sad look. He knows how I feel the most.

I walk past them and start closing the rest of the shutters, emotionless.

I close the last of the shutters. "I'm coming into work tomorrow." I tell Hoppo not showing any emotions trying not to think about it more so shocked from the news I'm a like teeter todder swaying from side to side in emotionless and sad. I'm just a messy ball of emotions right now.

I walk passed him.

A tear runs down my face and I wipe it away quickly as I see Harrison jog up the metal stairs. I look away making it seem like I didn't see him.

"Oh hey Tess how was your first day back to work?" He asks

"It was good.." I continue walking away.

I get in my Jeep and drive back  to my apartment.

I unlock my door of my apartment and slowly walk in closing the door the same speed.

I press my body to close the door all the way locking it doesn't cross my mind. I walk into the kitchen and grab a glass. Then fill it with cold water from the tap.

I chug the whole glass knowing that I'm going to need all the water I can get for how much I can feel that I'm gonna cry.

Anger runs through my veins and I continue to drink more and more water. Feels like I've drank 12 cups.

I scream with anger and throw the glass on the ground feeling the shards fly and cut my leg making it bleed, "Why did you take him from me!" I yell. I scream slamming my fist down on the marble counter.

I start crying putting my face in my hands. I drop to my knees feeling small pieces of glass cut into my knees, but I don't care no pain is greater then what I'm feeling right now.

I slam my fist down on a piece of glass, "WHY!" I start to sob now.

Harrison's P.O.V

I jog up the metal stars in happy spirits. I spot Tessa. "Oh hey Tess how was your first day back to work?" I ask smiling

"It was good.." she says in a small voice then walks away.

"Hey is Tess okay?" I ask Hoppo and Chappo.

"No. Her dad just passed away."
