One month later...
"You're here," Barb greeted Jason and his grandma as they walked in.
It was Tess's hospital room. She laid on the bed with an oxygen mask covering her nose.
"Sorry I'm late,I had some issues to settle," he hugged her."Let's go," Jason's grandma called Barb."See you later," she took her bag and left with her.Jason took a seat beside her and brought out his papers.
One month ago...
The night of the incident..."Here's the cure," Lucas ran to Jason's hospital room.
"Who are you?" The doctor asked."Lucas Henderson, Tess sent me here," he gave the vial to him but the doctor looked at him weirdly with all the blood on him."It's safe, I made it," he persuaded him and he injected Jason.
"Doctor," Luke walked in but stopped when he saw Lucas.
"Luke," Lucas called slowly.
Luke was confused for a while. He was trying to recognize him.
"It's me, Lucas." He hugged him fiercelThe doctor pointed a little light into her eyes as she blinked."I'm really happy for you," he said to Jason who was full of smiles. Grandma, Barb, Alessia, Johnson and Lucas were all there."Can you walk?" He asked her.She tried to stand up as Jason helped her up. Her legs were a bit wobbly but she could stand."You'll need therapy," he advised. "I'll sign you up for our therapy class. It's just one week. It'll realign your muscles."After the doctor left, everyone expressed their happiness. How glad they were that she woke up. They filled her in on what she had missed. She was most especially glad to see Lucas. After hanging out for a while, they all left, leaving Tess and Jason alone."You know, you really scared me," Jason said as he stroked her hair. They were lying beside each other on the hospital bed. "Why didn't you wear a vest?""Because I never thought he would shoot me," she said weakly."He's a psycho, I'm glad he's
"Tess,wake up. We're gonna be late for school," my best friend, Ivy Martinez shook me."Nu-uh. Just a little more of it," I murmured with my eyes still closed.We had a sleepover the previous night and we slept at about 2.am even though we knew that we had school the following morning which was now."Come on Tessy," she nudged me.I squirmed in my bed like a worm and muttered some swear words away from the hearing of Ivy. That girl really hated swear words. "I'm set already," I heard her say."What!"
It was him. That devil that just returned from hell. I didn't even know that son of a gun.I rolled my eyes at him and started walking to class. I was already late because of that stunt Alessia pulled.He walked by my side and tried to wrap his arms around me but I shook it off."You're pretty,"he smirked at me."Thanks,it means a lot." I snickered at him as I walked to my locker to pick my note.I kept walking as he also kept tugging at my hoodie."Can you move?" He was standing in front of me."You're different," he smiled and I think I melted."Again, thanks," I brushed past him but he pulled me back by my wrist.He pulled me close to him that our noses were touching. He smelled like roses and his breath, like milk.My hand was poking his abs and I looked down."Checking me out?"He grinned widely at me.
"Hey baby." Luke said into my ears. "What do you want,ass?""Theresa Octavia Harvey, didn't I ask you not to swear?" Ivy smacked me."Sorry Mom," I smiled at her."Your real name is Theresa?" Luke said to me."Shut up." I glared at him."You guys look cute together," Scott said, making goo- goo eyes at me."I know, right?" Luke agreed."Theresa, Luke, your ship name could be Thuke." Ivy opined."Sounds like puke," I grimaced."Or Leresa?" She said dreamily."In your dreams.""You're in my dreams," Luke said and I groaned."What do you want?" I faced him. He was really getting on my nerves by being around me."Great question,Theresa," he said, looking straight at me."Could you please not call me that?""Be my date to Lucas's pool party this saturday," he dropped.I sat s
I woke up with the sunlight resting on my face. A pair of large arms was wrapped around my waist.It was very comforting and secure. I couldn't even remember when I fell asleep last night.Luke continued his riddles and I.... Wait, Luke? I tried to stand up but I was held back by his arms.I turned,still in his embrace, to look at him.He was sleeping peacefully and his brown hair covered his forehead.His lips suddenly curved into a smile."Enjoy it while it lasts." His brown eyes peeled into mine. "I know I'm hard to resist but you've been staring at me for a while." I scoffed at him as I pulled up."I'm gonna go take a shower." I told him."Lock the door when you leave.""I'm not leaving, we're going to school together."He walked into the kitchen and I walked after him."Aren't you gonna change your clothes?" "It's
That freaking day finally arrived.The day where I got to stand in front of Luke in a bikini.Actually, it's not a big deal because I've been in front of a lot of guys, half naked.But, it's not just any guy we're talking about here.It was Luke, asshole, playboy and dick of the century.I sighed for the hundredth time as I stood in front of my closet, scattered.I couldn't find a perfect bikini. They were either too flashy or too dull, too tight or too loose."Just choose one, woman!"Ivy yelled at me. She was already in a blue bikini.It has lines and made it look like it was tied to her body. She wore a shirt and shorts as cover up."The boys are ready." She announced.We were all getting dressed in my house. It was Luke's idea since my house was obviously the biggest. Then after dressing up, we would leave fo
I was about to come out of the water when Luke pushed me back in. I raised an eyebrow at him."We're not done yet." He chuckled. I watched as he slipped his shirt off his body.Great abs, I thought. This must be why he's so full of himself. He stood there in the sun, shining in his tanned glory."Checking me out?" He swirled around like a girl."You wish." I settled back in the pool.He jumped in with a splash that startled me. People cheered, most especially girls.I watched as he swam around in the pool, greeting people, fist bumping some and high fiving the others.The guy was really popular. He's not a bad guy afterall. He's just a teenager who likes to date multiple girls at the same time."Stop staring, you'll give him sunburn with your eyes ." That high-pitched voice chirped behind m
I just really miss Ryder. He's the only one that understands me apart from Ivy and Scott. He sympathizes with me when I'm sad, cheers me up and loves me even with my issues.There's also someone who loved me the way he does."Wow, you've got your own gym. You're really surprising me."Luke remarked as he walked backwards into the gym with the friendship manual.I activated the treadmill and started running.He sat down on a rocking chair that grandma left in there and started reading the manual.I really didn't expect him to be serious about that stuff. After running for a bit, I sprawled out on the floor and drank hurriedly from the bottle of water.I sniffed my hair and it smelt really bad. Shower time, Tess. Tatiana Manaois' Helplessly blared out of the speakers of my phone.I brought my phone out and Ryder was on the screen. I smiled to my
