A/N: My first Camp Rock story, so sorry if it sucks. Please r&r. : Yes, i know it's a short chapter, but I already have two other chapters written, so they're coming later today.
She couldn't believe she was actually sitting there crying. Tess Tyler does not cry. So why was she acting so vulnerable? Anybody could simply walk back there and see her like that.
Come on, Tess. Suck it up! You can't let crying break you!
She could hear the words of her mother echoing in her mind.
Too many bad memories...
She wiped her eyes and slowly stood up. Her feet carried her outside to the cold water.
What are you doing out here? Stop walking toward the water!
She ignored her inner voice telling her to do the right thing and just turn around.
She had become completely numb. She had no mother that actually loved her. As of tonight, she had no friends. She didn't have Shane. There was nothing that she cared about anymore. It finally sunk in to her that people didn't want her. They didn't care what she did. They wouldn't care if she was gone. But maybe, just maybe, there was one person inside that building that was concerned about her. Maybe, just maybe, that person watched her run outside. And maybe, just maybe, that person wasn't going to just sit there and let her throw her life away.
As she waded increasingly deeper into the water, the doors slammed open and a single person came running after her. She didn't notice. All she knew was that water entering her lungs and she felt herself slipping. Her eyes closed calmly and she submerged herself under water, just wanting everything to be over.
She was losing consciousness by the second.
"Tess!" She heard a voice, but didn't even flinch. It was probably just her imagination.
The voice became louder. This person wouldn't just let her be. Couldn't they see she was in the middle of something?
As she felt her body become instantly light, she knew was she was on her way to the bottom of the lake. She opened her mouth and let the chilly water slide its way down her throat.
Tess Tyler had disappeared under the water and no one was going to save her from its icy blue depths.
