Finding Out

10-

"I had leukemia"Hardin states,locking his eyes onto Tessa's,The eyes he has missed so much,the eyes he could look into for days.

Tessa shakes her head,trying to hold back her un-shed tears after trying to comprehend the news she was just given by her former lover.

"W...Why did you not say something sooner?"She says,wiping away the lone tear that escaped,desperately trying not to show how weak she is and the fact that she still cares for him come through.

"I found out a couple days before you left,I was going to tell you I just did not know how,we were so happy Tess,we had our little girl and that news was going to break your heart,I wanted to tell you so many times but I just never found the right time"He explains calmly,pushing away some of his brunette hair from his forehead that was starting to get sweaty.

Tessa stood up from her chair at the round dining table,tightened her ponytail before speaking.

"I am sorry I left you back then,I was hurt at the fact you thought I would go on a date with another man,when I was crazy and utterly in love with you,and when you said you could get any girl you want that broke my heart"

"I did not want Emery to grow up with a manwhore for dad!"She says,Tessa's anger starting to get the better of her.

"It was a heat of the moment thing Tessa!,I accidently said tose things cos I was angry,why can't you understand that,the minute I walked in the bar I immediately turned round cos I knew for a fact I was going to hurt you and I could not live with myself knowing you were upset,but when I got back you were gone,you left me a fucking note to say you left!"Hardin yells,his voice getting higher and slightly higher as the conversation goes on,he promised himself he would not get angry,but here he was,shouting at the love of his life,the one he has not seen in 14 years,cos ....

Cos she left him!

"I carry the note with me everywhere"He says,putting his left hand in his left pocket and pulling out his wallet,inside his wallet being the note,the last piece of communication the two had.

Reading the letter aloud:

"Ahem-"He starts

Dear Hardin,

Writing this letter is causing me so much heartbreak,the fact that I am writing this,makes me feel like I will never be good enough.

After hearing that you could get any girl you want to fall for you,makes my heart and soul crumble into 2 pieces,I thought we were in love,clearly I misread the signals as it was like college all over again.

I truly love you Hardin and that's why I am going this.

I have booked a flight for me and Emery to get out of your hair,you were an amazing father but to me,you sometimes let you anger get the better of you.

I will miss you sadly and I just want you to know that I love you with everything I have and the thought of Emery growing up without a father breaking my heart even more.

But you made your decision to walk out that door and hookup with god knows how many girls and I can't let Emery see her Daddy like that,so I am doing what's best for us.

For Her!

If we reunite in the future,I want to know that you have changed.

Lots Of Love,

Your Tessa xx

Folding the letter and placing it safely in his wallet he sighs,but that's when the door burst open,Emery walking in,on her phone,walking to the fridge.

"God Dammit"She exclaims,the 16 year old having walked into the corner of one of the countertops,in the middle of the cooking station.

The 2 adults laugh,causing her to look up from her phone,making her eyes go wide with embarrassment.

"I..I did not realise you were still talking"She flusters out,her cheeks getting redder and redder by the millisecond more she is still in the situation.

"It's alright darling,just get what you need,were pretty much done here anyway"Tessa states,causing Hardin to let out a small smirk,as he hears how she speak to there daughter,the love and affection in her voice,the same as when he first met her at the Frat House all those years ago.

"Okay"The teen nods,opening the fridge and grabbing the orange juice carton,pouring some in her favourite glass before walking out of the kitchen.

"Oh and I am going out tonight,Me and Tyler are having a sleepover"She says walking down the hallway of the family home.

The 2 adults burst out laughing at her actions.

"She takes after you so much"Tessa tells Hardin,who smiles and runs his hand through his hair.

"And Auden takes after you Tessa,he is exactly like you when you were in College,all nerdy and preppy"He says.

"Are you calling our son Nerdy?"She says through her laughs,trying to catch her breath but failing miserably.

The two adults in the kitchen laughing together.....

Just Like Old Times.
