Hey sorry for taking forever to update, just been so busy with work.

We get back home and I help Tessa inside in the conditioned house as my mum and dad put the golf stuff away.

I help her onto the chair making sure she doesn't fall.

I get her a tall glass of ice water. "Thanks babe." She smiles

I give her a wink and then go to the cupboards to get one of my mum's healthy granola bars which have everything that she needs in it.

Then I get some out watermelon from this morning that was part of the fruit bowl and put a few in a bowl. Watermelon will help hydrate her as it's 92% water and balance out the proteins that are in the granola bar with the fruit.

She munches on the granola bar taking some water with it, then after eating the watermelon.

"That was so embarrassing...." She suddenly says

"Getting Heat Stroke and not really taking care of myself, I wonder what your parents think of me.." She says sadly

"Hey, don't be embarrassed." I tell her, "Some times these kind of things just happen without any heads up."

She sighs, "I guess you have a good point."

"Don't I always," I tease giving a smile

She rolls her eyes playfully.

"How are you feeling?" My mum asks her coming from behind her.

She turns, "Better." she tells my mum giving her a smile.

"That's good to hear." She smiles

Tessa's P.O.V

"I should probably go have a cool shower." I smile, "I feel all gross because of the sweating."

"Alrighty. You remember where the bathroom is?"

I give a nod, "Yes."

"Oh good."

"I'll be a couple minutes." I tell them then make my way up the stairs.

I get my soaps, new clothes and get into the huge bathroom. I still can't get over how big it is.

I strip of my sweaty clothes and get into the glass shower I turn the shower on avoiding the water that comes out of the rain shower head, not wanting freezing cold water touch me. I bring it to the right cool temperature then get in.

I let the cool, refreshing water rain down on me, stoking through my hair.

My mind flashes.

"Mom?" My younger self asks climbing over to my mother in the drivers seat. I hear the screeching of tires zooming away.

I shake my mother but she doesn't respond. Her body covered in blood.

I climb out of the car bloody from the glass that slashed my arms, cold rain pouring down on me once out of the car.

I crawl to the door, my ankle being severely sprained (broken), I try opening the door on my knees. A searing pain runs up my arm the pain to great from the slash in my fore arm. I whimper moaning in pain.

I use my other arm to pull the door the door bend and pressed making it difficult.

I get the door open, "Mum?" I shake her, "Mum wake up." I plead with her her face being filled with blood. I look down to see a bone sticking out of her body.

My eyes widen and the fill with tears. "Mommy?"

I shake her trying to get her to wake up, "Mommy! Wake up please! Mommy!" I start sobbing "Mommy wake up!"

Red and blue lights blind me, I look behind and cover my eyes. My scrambled mind figures out what those lights mean. I get up on my good leg limping over, "Help! Help! My mum!" I shout to the police officer. The rain pouring like nothing else.

I accidentally put a little pressure on my ankle, I screech in pain, falling to the ground my body splashing onto the wet pavement.

"Help....." My mind start to swirl my un noticed broken ankle bleeding badly from the bone the pokes through, "H-Help us.....please...." my mind goes blank.

I stumble to the side my shampoos falling over and making a loud noise snapping me away from the horrible memory of when I was only 13...my birthday not being far away.

"You okay Tessa?" I hear Harrison's voice at the door.

"Yeah, my conditioner slipped out of my hands.." I tell him not wanting him to worry.

I finish up my shower wiping my face with my towel and putting my hair up in it using another to dry my body.

I take a deep breath, visiting that house as probably not the best idea.

I get changed and go downstairs putting a, "Nothing happened" smile on my face. Masking my true feelings.

"Want to play Who Am I?" Harrison asks from the couch on the balcony with his parents, the glass fire going in front of us.

"Sure, sounds fun." I tell him sitting down next to him.

We get ready and I put the band on my head and slip a card in the holder and so does everyone else.

I giggle at Harrison's, which is Harry Potter.

KB's is Captain America.

And Kevin's is Santa Claus.

"Am I fictional?" Harrison asks reading the card of questions to ask.

"Yes." We all say

"Am I from a movie that I watched?"

"Yes. You watched it many times when you were younger." Kb says

"How old am I?"

"Depends on what movie." I giggle

"Am I bad?"

"Nah." I tell him

"So I'm good?"

"Yes" Kevin says

"Hm..my favourite movie..." Harrison looks down a bit thinking.

"Oh. Times up." I tell him grabbing the small hour glass.

"My turn." I smile flipping it.

"Am I good?"

"Nooo, nonono." Harrison says and Kb agrees with him

"What? Have I killed?"

"Yes." Kb says

"Many people." Harrison tells me

"Oop. Well I am from a movie yes?"

"Yes."

"Hm." I think for a second, "Am I female or male?"

"Male." Harrison reply's, "that's a good question."

"Uhhhhh...do I wear a mask when killing??"

"Well you wear a mask all the time." Kb says "He is from Kevin's favourite movies."

"Mum she doesn't knew his favourite movie." Harrison tells his mom.

"Is it a popular movie?"

"Yes it definitely is. First special effects movie made. People loved it."

"Am I a series?"

"Mhm"

"Do they get better and better each movie?"

"They definitely do." Kevin says

"Times up." Harrison tells me
