I  woke up to find myself on the couch. I sat up and worried faces surrounded me.

"Are you okay?" Scott asked, concern written all over his face.

I nodded meekly.

"You're fainting too much these days." Ivy observed.

I sat down on the front porch while Ivy and Scott did their business inside.

I swear if they do it on the couch, I'm never sitting there again.

I fiddled with strands of my hair.

It was too long. Whenever I let I loose, it reached down to my hips.

Ivy stormed out with anger, huffed and sat beside me.

"Scott is not responding."

I quirked an eyebrow at her. "How?"

"I kissed him and he just pushed me away. I tried to scoot closer to him and he went to his room."

"That's unlike him. Try again?"

She nodded and went inside.

    I whirled around and found Scott looking at me. He was not looking good. He had puffy eyes and he looked stressed."What?" "I'm sorry. I know I yelled and all this evening, I'm sorry.""Yeah, whatevs." I waved my hand.He walked away, brushing a hand swiftly through his hair. I gaped at his retreating back. I was actually pulling his legs, I didn't expect him to leave.I turned to the bartender."A cup, please.""Yes ma'am,"he winked.I grabbed the cup and sipped my vodka slowly.Different thoughts whirling in my head."Hey," I felt someone sit beside me. I turned on my seat and faced a really hot guy. When I say hot,I hope you get what I mean.He has big dark hazel eyes, a straight nose, perfect jawline and everything. You could see it through his face that he was a flirt."I've noticed you since I arrived. It seems you're a regu

    I led them to their rooms and entered mine. I fished out a hoodie and went downstairs. "Change him," I flung the hood at Ryder who groaned. I reappeared with a bowl and a towel. I sat and placed Scott's head on my lap as I cleaned his face.This guy reeked.After I was done, I grabbed my things and turned to the staircase. Luke was standing there, resting on the railing. "You need anything?" I asked him and he turned on his heels.Weird.I checked on Lucas before I went to my room. The guy was snoring away. I held in a chuckle as I closed the door. I looked over at Luke's room. I walked slowly to the door and raised my fingers to knock but I retreated.I entered my room and found his sitting on my bed, monk style."You startled me," I said and he looked up. "I never said you could come in.""I never asked," he replied calmly. For th

    This is a terrible day for me. Why did he have to call me right now? He couldn't have chosen a better time?I hung up on him and went to my next class. I entered and almost every eye turned to me.Damn, this popularity of mine.''What are you looking at?'' I growled and they turned back to their businesses.I took an empty seat back and settled in.''Hey,'' a voice said beside me. I glanced sideways and saw Max smiling at me. This dude still had the nerve to smile at me after all that confession.''Look, I didn't know that you were not aware of your reputation. I just thought that you knew. I'm really sorry if I hurt your feelings or anything.I'm sorry about the shirt too.'' He looked down at my shirt and so did I. It still had that terrible stain.''Maybe you should go wash it in the bathroom or something." He su

    Lucas stopped his music, Luke ended his call and Scott sprayed mouth juice onto my face. "Dude! What the hell?" I quickly grabbed a tissue and dabbed at my face."What are you wearing?" Luke asked me, raising his lips. "Is this the wedding dress?" He turned to Ryder who was having problems with his tie."No, idiot. That's not the wedding dress. Tessa, what are you wearing? " He gave up on his futile efforts on the tie and walked closer to me."Clothes?" I inched closer to him and started knotting his tie. "What about the dress?" He fidgeted."Relax," I patted his back. "It's in the bag. I just wanna give them a shock first. Hopefully, they'll get a heart attack and leave me alone!"I finished the knot and tucked it perfectly."Are you guys staying here?" I turned to the guys."My house is a tornado right now so, I'll stay."Lucas plopped on the couch."I've got nowhere

    "My parents and I got you involved in the rift between us. I know that they were behind your last two marriages. They've ruined your life enough and I couldn't even do anything about it.""Theresa.. ""I'm not done yet. I'll make sure this wedding doesn't happen. I know you don't wanna get married so please just play along until I find a solution. Just bear with me."She pulled me into a hug and rested her wet face on my shoulder. She had been used as a pawn by my wealth driven parents. She's empty now so they're trying to sell her to the highest bidder."I love you so much," she sobbed."Me too, Aunt.""Am I interrupting a little girl moment?" Ryder walked in. His tie had gone loose again.I wonder why."Shut up," Aunt Tiffany wiped her tears with a tissue I handed her. "You've been asked to come downstairs with the bride

    "So, he saw Stella at the airport?" Luke said as he chewed his burger at lunch. We were at our table waiting for Scott and I was forced to talk to Luke while I awaited his arrival. Ivy was sitting at a table with a bunch of girls. She glanced at me a few times and looked away. If only someone else could join us at this table right now."Hey guys," Lucas moved in beside me. "Fuck," I groaned."You missed me?" He rested his cheek on his palm and his elbow on the table. "Yeah sweetheart," I smiled and winked while I stepped on his feet with my shoe. "Owww!" "Can I join you guys?" Max stood at our tabl

    "So, she still has a grudge?" Scott asked as he drove us home."Told ya.""She's just like you." "No way. I'm better.""So it was just the usual questions?""Yeah but, it seems like she stalked me for the past year. She knew everything that has been happening to me since I stopped attending her sessions."."I kept her updated.""I know. Who else would do that for me if not you?""Since we still have a few hours to kill before midnight, how about we visit her?""Sounds like a bad idea.""Why?" He raised his right eyebrow at me."I don't think I'm prepared to meet her yet.""Oh, come on." I sighed deeply as he took a turn towards the hospital. I've waited two years for her to get better. I wanted her to be able to recognize me first.Whenever I visited her, she looked at me like I was a foreign object. Even the d

    "Midnight snack!" I kinda froze as Scott locked eyes with Luke. He held up a bag filled with god knows what. "What are you doing here, Henderson?" He slammed the door shut. "Same thing you came to do Daniels, keeping her company." "What did you bring?" I reached up to the bag Scott was holding. "I am starving." "You just had a box of pizza," Luke accused. "I only had two pieces. You ate six." "I thought that since Ivy left, you might miss girl night, movie night or whatever stuff you girls do, so I came to fill that space. But I can see that you are doing fine. You now allow strangers into your house at night? Cool." "You guys used to date right?" Luke looked at me then at Scott. "What do you mean?" &

    The 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

    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.

    "Search them," one of the guards said to the other one who searched Tess and Tae-ho. They took away all their weapons."Follow me," he said and they did. They walked into a toilet and Tess saw that bird sculpture that was at his house. The man touched it and a wall opened."Why am I not surprised?" Tess said sarcastically and it earned her a glare from the guard. They went down through an elevator and the doors opened. Mr. Harvey was sitting on a chair with Jack and James beside him. Lucas and a woman were on their knees too.That must be Fei, Tess's subconsciousness filled in for her."Fei!" Tae-ho whisper-yelled. "Well look who finally showed up," He cackled."Hey Dad," Tess greeted."Theresa," he called gently.

"I'm sorry about what my team did when they were with you. I never knew they were under orders.""Whose orders?""Cap.""That old fart," she muttered."I know you tapped his office. He knows.""That's why we haven't been hearing anything lately," she wondered."He has someone on your team.""What? No, he doesn't have anyone on my team.""I'm sure of it. They were talking to each other this morning. I don't know what you're planning but someone is working for Cap." "Jack," Tess murmured."He is acquainted with your father too.

    "Don't worry mom," Tess said on the phone. "I'll be back in two days. Alright, I won't skip my meals." They were all getting ready for the infiltration. "Where's the smoke bomb?" Caleb asked Tess. "Uh, it's right next to the darts," she answered as she typed a message. °im going somewhere, I'll see you when I arrive. Be healthy for me 🙂° She sent it to Jason and her phone was placed on vibration."All phones on vibration please," she said to everyone and they obeyed. "Alright," she called their attention.

    Tess was scooping down the soup her mother made before she left that morning. Everyone else was sprawled out on the living room floor. The couples were all cuddling except for Luke and Jack. Jason let out a yawn as he walked down the stairs."Good morning," Tess greeted and waved her hand. He scoffed. "I'm surprised to see you like this," he pecked her. "No hangover?""Nah, just a little headache," she smiled."Your recovery ability is great." Jack stood up hurriedly and ran outside."You better not puke in my compound!" She yelled after him."He's gonna be in a very bad shape," Jason chuckled. "What are you eating?""Chicken soup.""I want some," he bent down and she fed him."It's too early for all this," Luke walked into the kitchen, straight to the fridge."Good morning," Jason greeted and he nodded as he drank his water."I can't believe you're s

    "You're a legend!" Mitch exclaimed."What do you mean?" Tess said. "Jason Gerard's mystery woman is the real deal. The clothes she wore on his latest Instagram update has been sold out," he read out."Really?" She exclaimed."You're on your way to becoming a celebrity," Eva snickered."Seriously guys, " Caleb called them together. "How are we gonna get the cure for Jason? The warrant's taking too long to be approved." "How about a sting operation?" Tess suggested."What's that?" Diana asked."A deceptive operation. We deceive him into revealing his crimes.""Sounds good." "No,it does not," Jack objected."You're still here?" David sighed."According to the report you gave me, he recognizes all of you. How will you carry out a sting operation? And by the way,I'm the boss here," he folded his arms across his chest. "Yeah and it annoys us so much!"

    "I don't like him," Eva groaned."Me neither," Caleb stood up."Can't we just do something about it? Like can't we write to the headquarters and demand a new leader?" David inquired."Even if that's gonna happen, he has to spend two weeks training us before he leaves," Caleb told them."Well, that sucks," Mitch muttered. "It seemed like he has history with Boss.""I felt the tension too," David agreed. Tess drove in and walked into the house."Jason?" She called out as she entered."I'm right here!" He said from the couch."How are you feeling?" She sat beside him. "Any changes?""No," he sighed."Whatever you need, I'm here." He turned to her with a smile."There is something I want.""What?" She asked."A date," he replied. She kept looking at him."A date?" She repeated."Yeah, I mean, I might die anytime soon and I want to do what I've always w

    "So,your request has been processed?" Diana said."Seems like it," Tess sighed."What are we going to do?" "First,we have to know who's coming," Tess said. "Let's go." They all stood outside the station, waiting for the new team leader."What's taking him so long?" Mitch complained."He should be here by now," Caleb said, wiping his sweat."I think he's here," Tess motioned to the car that drove in. They watched as he parked his car and got off."His back looks familiar," she muttered. He grabbed a bag from the backseat and walked towards them. As he approached, Tess swallowed hard. "Tess," he said out.There was something about the way he called her name."You're the new team leader?" She questioned."I guess I am," he chuckled. "I offered to fill in for you.""Why would you do that?" She asked."Because we have unfinished business."~~~
