Tessa

The next day I stretched, wincing as pain shot through my side. My gaze drifted back to Alex, who was still sound asleep, blissfully unaware of the chaos from yesterday. I couldn't help but wonder how she managed to charm her way out of Carter's ridiculous questions.

Carter had been relentless, and I'd done my best to shield Alex from his absurdities. But of course, he had taken it all in stride, turning his inquiries into lighthearted banter while I squirmed in my seat, wishing for the ground to swallow me whole.

I turned my attention to the room, scanning for my phone. The accident had left me disoriented, and I suddenly remembered how my heart raced when I realized I might have lost

The hospital door creaked open, and in walked my mom, a food box cradled in her arms. She looked like she was ready to tackle the world, dress in black suit, her hair pulled back, work attire crisp, and a determined look on her face.

"Good morning!" she chirped, her voice brightening the dim room

    TessaI glared at the two of them, feeling a mix of annoyance and amusement. Their antics were starting to remind me of a cheesy rom-com, and I couldn't help but roll my eyes. "You two are ridiculous," I said, crossing my arms. "Do you really need to make me the referee every time you get into this petty fights game?"Leah shot me a smirk, her eyes dancing with mischief. "Maybe you need to get yourself a boyfriend, Tessa. Then you'd understand.""Hard pass," I replied quickly, shaking my head. The thought of dating anyone right now made my stomach churn. My mind drifted to Carter for a split second, and I felt a wave of confusion. No, not him. Not now. I shook my head again, trying to clear the thoughts away.I should not be even thinking about him out of everyone. Focus Tessa. Focus.Alex, still looking thoroughly unimpressed, shifted away from Leah, his expression sour. "Just leave me alone," he grumbled, but Leah wasn't having any of it."No way. I'm not leaving you like this," sh

    CarterI stood in front of my class, but my mind was miles away. Tessa had been occupying my thoughts since the moment I woke up this morning. I could barely focus on the lesson as I replayed our last conversation, the way she looked at me, the way her smile lit up the room. I couldn't wait to see her again, to get the chance to talk—really talk—to her.I check the time realizing I had used up to my minutes, I gathered my notes and made my way out of the class. Just as I stepped into the hallway, a fellow lecturer approached me. "Mr. Carter," he called, his voice slightly laced with urgency.I turned, curious about what he wanted. "The school management is looking for you. They called for you," he said, his expression serious.A wave of anxiety washed over me. I hoped it wasn't about another scandal. The last thing I needed was more drama. I had worked hard to keep my name clean in this place. I swallowed hard and nodded, my heart racing as I made my way to the administration office.

    TessaAs evening fell, I felt a mix of excitement and nervousness when Carter came to pick me up. Earlier, I had taken care of a few last-minute things—nothing major, just making sure I was truly ready to leave the hospital behind. Alex and Leah had left a few minutes ago, and their departure added a sense of finality to my time there.Once I had gathered my belongings, I made my way out of the hospital. Seeing Carter waiting for me outside made my heart race a little. Something was reassuring about his presence. As I climbed into the car, I couldn't help but notice how quiet he was. He started driving, the city lights flickering past us. I was lost in thought when he broke the silence. "So, have you fully forgiven me yet?"I hesitated for a moment, searching for the right words. "I'd say I've forgiven you... about 60%," I finally replied, gauging his reaction. "You've still got to earn that other 40%."He chuckled softly, a glimmer of determination in his eyes. "Challenge accepted.

    TessaI watched my mum and Mr. Carter arguing over Jasmine, their voices rising and falling like a storm brewing. The tension in the air was suffocating, and I could feel my anger bubbling inside me. I couldn't take it anymore. "Enough!" I shouted, shutting them both up. I stormed off to my room, slamming the door behind me. Once inside, I paced back and forth, my mind racing. I prayed inwardly that Jasmine wouldn't tell my mum anything about our conversations. It seemed like my mum had taken a liking to her, and I couldn't bear the thought of that. What if she found out? I couldn't let that happen. I thought about it endlessly until I slept off.The next morning, I woke up to the sound of my alarm blaring. I got up and took my bath before getting dressed for school, still feeling the weight of yesterday's argument pressing down on me. I was pulling on my shirt when Mr. Carter suddenly walked in without knocking. My heart raced.He looked surprised to see me half naked, his eyes w

    TessaI jolted awake, my heart racing and my body drenched in sweat. The remnants of the vivid dream clung to me like a heavy fog. I felt disbelief wash over me as I recalled how my mum had caught me with Mr. Carter. "Please, let it end in just being a dream," I whispered to myself, hoping it was just my mind processing the argument between my mum and Mr. Carter the day before. The tension in the house had been palpable, and I knew it had seeped into my subconscious.With a deep breath, I swung my legs over the side of the bed and rubbed my temples, trying to shake off the lingering anxiety. I hurriedly got dressed, my mind racing with different thoughts. I splashed cold water on my face, I caught a glimpse of myself in the mirror. "You can handle this," I reassured myself, though uncertainty gnawed at my insides.I got a bath quickly and went inside the room to change into something flexible. Finally ready, I stepped outside, my heart pounding with a mix of excitement and drea

    TessaMr. Carter's hand settled on my waist, his fingers tracing small circles against my back. I could feel his warmth, the closeness that had become so familiar between us. He leaned down to kiss me, it felt like returning to something that was ours, something we both knew well.I leaned into him, my hand sliding up to his shoulder as I felt the gentle pull of his hand at the small of my back. The feeling was exhilarating, a rush of excitement tempered with the comfort of familiarity, my heart thumping fast. His lips deeply brushed over mine, soft at first, and then more insistent, deepening as his hand moved to cradle the back of my neck. I sighed, letting the tension of the day melt away in his arms."You're beautiful, you know that?" he murmured, his voice low, his usual way of charming me, it sends a shiver down my spine.I smiled, tilting my head to meet his gaze. "You tell me that every time," I teased, "I guess that's your way of alluring me," my eyes stained with him, a smi

    TessaI sit at the breakfast table, my mind drifts, but I'm pulled back into focus by my mom's excited expression. She's been on this topic for weeks, and I know she's just waiting for me to give her something. Across the table, Jasmine is focused on her phone, occasionally scrolling, completely absorbed."So, Tessa," my mom says, her voice brimming with optimism. "Did you think any more about the school trip? You know, I think it'd be so good for you to go. You're always saying you want to get out and see more things." She's hopeful, and I can't help but feel a tug of guilt for brushing her off before.I glance over at Jasmine, half wondering if she'll chime in with her usual sarcastic comment, but she seems more interested in her screen. Taking a deep breath, I decided to give my mom the answer she was looking for."I've been thinking about it," I say casually, shrugging like it's no big deal. "I'm a little interested in going." I finally revealed For a second, she just stares at m

    Tessa I finally decided to call Jasmine, and my heart feels like it's going to leap out of my chest. I took a few steps and to her but she kept moving further making it hard to get to her easily. "Jasmine!!" I screamed at the button of my voice and she stared back, astonishment written across her face. "Can you spare a few minutes?" I ask, trying to keep my voice steady."Why should I spare you minutes of my time? The last time I checked we are not on good terms or are we?" she replies coldly, her hand folded on her chest. "I just want to talk about something," my fingers gripping my phone tightly as I make my way over to her.My heart skips as I finally walk toward her, glancing around to make sure no one's watching us too closely. "What is a dick haunted have to say?" She asked and I frowned my brows. "Can you keep your voice low?" I shush with my fingers on my lips but she only smirks. "Why should I do that?" She asked nonchalantly. I stared around noticing an older woman n

    Tessa Epilogue. Two years had passed. I could hardly believe it, but here I was, standing in my cozy living room, arranging the last of the decorations for Jasper's 5th birthday party. The house smelled of freshly baked cookies, the faint scent of balloons, and the light hum of excitement in the air.I was nervously running through the checklist in my head as I put the finishing touches on the birthday setup. Balloons? Check. Cake? Check. Presents? Check. Family and friends? A little of both. I glanced at the clock, realizing the guests would be arriving soon. Everything was in order. Well, as much as it could be. Jasper had been babbling all morning, excited for his big day, even though he had no full idea what was truly happening. To him, it was just another day of love and laughter.My mind wandered for a moment, drifting back to the years that had passed. Life had changed so much, and yet, some things remained constant. Jasper's little laugh, his giggles as he played with his to

    Tessa The past week has been a blur. After everything that happened, life has felt like one long, surreal dream, a strange mixture of relief, reconciliation, and nervous anticipation. I still can't quite believe it's real.Jasmine had come to me almost the day after I reconnected with Carter. I hadn't been sure how I'd react, but the moment she started to apologize, I could feel my defenses starting to crack. She poured her heart out, tears in her eyes, confessing all the things I'd never known she felt. She admitted her insecurities, her jealousy, her regrets. And for the first time, I saw the human underneath all that bitterness. It was hard, but I forgave her. I didn't want to carry that anger anymore.Then there was my mom. She hadn't just given Carter her blessing, she insisted I finish my education, too. I'd always wondered if she'd think I was weak for leaving, for not holding myself together. But her love and support had been unwavering. She understood me in ways I didn't ev

    CarterI glanced out the car window at the small, quiet town as we pulled in. It was the kind of place I'd never imagine myself setting foot in, a town so small it was almost hidden on the map, tucked away like an afterthought. But here I was, waiting for Mila, parked outside a diner that looked like it hadn't changed since the seventies. It didn't make any sense why we were here, and frankly, I was too tired to argue."You're still not going to tell me why we're here, are you?" I said as Mila climbed out of the driver's seat.She shot me a look over her shoulder, her lips pursed in disapproval. "You don't get to complain," she said bluntly. "Not after everything."I felt a pang of guilt, one I'd been feeling more often than I liked lately. I knew she was still angry with me, but I was trying to make up for my mistakes. "I'm sorry," I murmured, not for the first time. "I just... I thought maybe this was about Tessa. I thought you'd heard something."Her expression softened just a litt

    TessaMy mum didn't waste a second. Her expression hardened, and before I could open my mouth, she stepped forward and, with a sharp crack, slapped me across the face. My cheek stung, but the shock was worse than the pain. I could barely comprehend what was happening before, in the next breath, her arms wrapped around me, pulling me into a fierce embrace. She held me so tightly, and it felt like she was holding onto all the lost years, all the words we'd never said.I felt the weight of it all pressing down on me, and I couldn't stop the tears that came. They poured down my face as I buried myself in her shoulder. Her breath hitched as she sobbed against me. It was strange, to feel her strength and her sorrow all at once. "I'm sorry," I managed to whisper, my voice barely audible. I didn't even know where to start. There was so much between us, so much hurt and misunderstanding.She pulled back just enough to look at me, her face streaked with tears. "Why didn't you come to me, Tes

    TessaThe warm, familiar scent of coffee and freshly baked pastries filled the air as I poured a hot cup for the man at the counter, a regular who'd become a comforting presence in my little world. "Here you go, Mr. Davis. Extra sugar, just the way you like it.""Thank you, Tessa." He gave me a smile, his eyes crinkling in that friendly way that made me forget, if only for a moment, about the mountain of worries I kept carefully tucked behind my smile. "Can't find coffee like this anywhere else, you know."I chuckled softly, appreciating his words. "Glad to hear it. Keeps me in business, anyway."He laughed, but as he turned and left, the cheerful facade slipped just a bit. In the quiet that followed, I let out a sigh. Keeping this place running had been harder than I'd ever imagined.When I first arrived in this town, I was barely holding on. Lost, alone, and with no idea how I was going to make it on my own, I'd been saved by the kindness of a woman I'd met by chance. She'd offered

    Carter POV It had been 3 years. An entire 3 years, and still, nothing.I set the phone down, and exhaled, forcing the frustration from my chest, but it was no use. It never seemed to leave me. Jasmine's concerned eyes met mine, asking me for answers I didn't have."Was that...?" she started, her voice quiet, uncertain. She didn't need to finish the question. I knew what she wanted to hear, even if I'd stopped letting myself hope for that answer."No," I replied, managing a small, empty smile. "Nothing yet. Still no word on Tessa. They're following up on the last few leads, but..." I trailed off, feeling the weight of the words I couldn't say.The police had already declared her a runaway. As if it were that simple as if it explained why she'd vanished without a trace. They had ruled it a voluntary disappearance, a choice she had every right to make as an adult. I'd used every bit of influence I had to keep it out of the press, to keep her name clean, to make sure her image remained

    Carter The weight of what I'm seeing settles like lead in my chest. The grainy video plays on the screen in front of me, though every word feels like a scream. Tessa, slipping through my office door, alone. I look up at the board members. Their faces are impassive, judging, waiting for me to explain. But the truth is simple, and I refuse to give them the satisfaction of seeing me squirm."What you're implying," I say, my voice rougher than I intended, "is absurd. Nothing inappropriate happened between Tessa and me. She came to talk to me about her grades, and her future. I was offering her advice, mentorship."They exchange skeptical glances as if the word "mentorship" was just another excuse, another way to cover my tracks. The bitter reality of it sinks in, I've already been tried and convicted in their minds."Mr. Carter," the chairman finally says, voice laced with condescension, "regardless of your intentions, it's clear that certain boundaries were crossed. Even the appearanc

    TessaThe sharp, sterile light stings my eyes as I blink myself awake. Everything feels hazy, muffled, as if my senses are wrapped in cotton. My head throbs, and when I try to sit up, a wave of dizziness forces me to sink back onto the stiff hospital bed."You're awake. Good." A voice cuts through the haze, gentle but firm.I turn my head to find a nurse standing at my bedside, clipboard in hand and an expression that's equal parts concern and disapproval. I try to speak, but my throat is so dry that only a croak comes out. She hands me a cup of water, and I sip it gratefully, letting the cool liquid soothe my throat."Where...?" I manage to mumble, but she's already anticipating the question."You're in the hospital," she says, matter-of-factly. "Some good Samaritans brought you in. You were unconscious on the sidewalk."The memory floods back, a blur of exhaustion, of pushing myself until I couldn't anymore, the ache in my chest from everything that's happened recently, everything t

    Carter I've barely had a moment to breathe since Tessa laid everything out for me, I think of everything I might have done for her but was unable to lay hands on a particular reason. It all felt like a nightmare. I walk through the corridor leading to my office my mind raising with the thought of Tessa, what I can do to change her perspective? No matter how hard I tried to reason it nothing seemed to come up, if only I knew what I did in offending her maybe I would apologize but nothing, the last I remember, we were on good terms and everything was going perfectly well. I raised my head only to find that the Students were smirking as I passed them, something that usually wouldn't bother me, but today it feels different. Something's off. A couple of the professors cast me looks that are anything but neutral. Disapproval, disdain. I don't know what they are looking at that made them press their gaze on me but I know it's nothing worthy of my time. I brushed them off thinking I had
