Hi everyone. I apologize that I couldn't post at all this week, but I was so busy studying for my exams, I couldn't even think of anything else. But, the week is now almost over, I'm back! The reason of that this chapter's name is "All Tangled" is that things are now getting tangled. In the real story, as we all know, the real situation is Axel Mortmain. Like I did mention even before writing the first chapter, this story was not going to be TID of course, but it was going to have related stuff. This is a romance/friendship/drama story, and Tessa&Will will eventually get together, but they will see the worst of the pain. So, what I'm really trying to say is that I will try to make you guys feel the pain, because everyone knows, we are here to feel the pain.
I will write about Tessa and Will the way I love how Tessa and Will are. And I am so thankful, grateful and everything because of so many people liking my fanfiction series. It means a lot.
Thank you for reading again!
Love, C.P.
Will was careful.
Tessa was now in the shower next to the boy's room, and that meant that Will could carefully look into her bag.
Sometimes, once a month or twice, Tessa used to stay at Will's, because Elizabeth was going to other countries for work. This was one of those times, when Elizabeth went to Amsterdam that morning, and since then, Tessa was at Will's.
The boy looked into Tessa's silver coloured big bag. Because Tessa loved showering a lot, she was staying in there for more than half an hour. So, this was an advantage.
Will, with a reason he didn't know, wanted to know if Tessa did bring any fancy under wears. He saw the small deodorant, two not-fancy black and scarlet t-shirts for Wednesday and Thursday, one pajama suit, which was not fancy at all, and two under wears. One of them was candy pink, and it had the word PINK on it with the colour gold. The other one was laced and green but it was like a boxer, so Will shook his head with disappointment. He was still not sure about why he was disappointed over the fact that his best friend did not bring any fancy under wears to his house. It was Tessa, not some whore coming over to Will's house.
Still, he couldn't stop himself from being disappointed, so he gave up and put her stuff back in the bag. He went back to his big, white bed and did lay on the right side of it. He waited for Tessa for more than half an hour, then when she came out of the bathroom with her bathrobe, Will swallowed unwillingly. Tessa didn't even look at the boy, because she was so busy trying to find her underwear in the bag. "The green one's at the bottom," Will said, looking at the girl. Tessa looked at Will, then made a funny-angry face. "Did you look at my stuff, William?"
Oh, he thought. She called me William. She called me William.
That made Will too excited. These thoughts were kind of ones that he was not able to know beautifully about. "Maybe yes, or maybe I'm just a psychic."
Tessa laughed, she wasn't annoyed.
Fifteen minutes later, she was not with pajamas, and Will was still on the same place of the bed. "You can sleep," Tessa said. "You don't have to wait for me."
Will grinned. "I'm not sleepy, Tess. No problem."
Tessa shrugged, then went to close the lights. Doesn't she feel anything? Will thought. But how could she? Will was her best friend. No, he said to himself inside, I'm the one who shouldn't think anything. What the bloody hell is wrong with me?
He stood up, and started walking to Tessa.
What the hell are you doing, Will? Control yourself.
He was now out of control. His brain was only seeing and understanding the word TESSA and it just happened all in a sudden. Why was he walking towards to Tessa now? She always comes over, he thought. Why now?
He was now right behind her. Tessa turned off the lights, then turned back. When she saw Will right behind herself, she first shivered, then grinned. "What happened, William?"
It was all dark. Still, they both could see each other's eyes, because one of them's were blue, a bright, but also a dark one, and the other ones' eyes were gray.
"Will?" she asked again, this time, her voice was shaking a little. She wasn't afraid, but the situation was awkward. Will looked at her pajamas, then thought how cute she was. How beautiful she was.
He put his left hand on Tessa's neck's left side. They both looked at each other. Will was just about to say something. "Tess,"
Tessa looked at him, wondering. Then, all in a sudden, she started shouting. "Wake up!" she said. Will didn't respond. "WAKE UP!"
He was sweating. He used not to sweat, not ever. He looked around, and saw Cecily standing in front of himself. She had her black, long hair free and her blue dress looking stunning on her as always. "It's nine!"
Will took a deep breath. He was still in the shock of the dream. His hair was wet like as if it rained outside, and Will was there. His blue eyes were looking tired, even though he was now awakened from a nine hour sleep. "What?" he finally asked, then tried to look at Cecily. Cecily was angry. "It's nine in the morning. The lessons began. I've been trying to wake you up since half past eight."
Will stood up, then opened his room's door for Cecily. "I'll be downstairs in fifteen."
When he came downstairs, all ready, he looked at his phone. There were three messages.
You have three messages from Tess
8:09 - "Hey, are you going to take me?"
8:12 - "Wiiiiiilllll?! Are you even awake?"
8:20 - "Forget it, I'm with Gideon and Sophie! Write me when you come to school."
Will thought about the girl's safety. She was safe with Gideon and Sophie of course, but what about that Axel situation? The only ones to know that about the situation were Will and Tessa, and the only one who was good enough to protect Tessa was Will.
But now, he didn't want to be with Tessa anymore. He didn't want to be close to her, too. These feelings he had for her, they were dangerous. He could protect her from away, too. Because from now on, if he was to stay close to her as always, everything could be ruined. Will knew. If I keep staying close to her as always, I might not be able to hold myself away. I don't want to bore her.
They got in the car. Cecily was in a rush. "Be fast, Will."
Will looked at her, smiling. "Are you going to meet with Lightworm again?"
Cecily sighed. "Don't call him Lightworm," she said. "It's heart-breaking."
"Oh," Will replied, right at the second Cecy said something. "I didn't know he had a heart. Sorry, love."
Finally, when they made it to the school, Cecily got out of the car immediately. Will checked on her until she hugged Gabriel, then after waving a hand to them, he started walking towards to Thomas, whom he saw a second ago. "Did you see Tessa?"
Thomas was cold. Afraid. "Nope."
Will raised an eyebrow. Even though he didn't like him anymore, he knew, Thomas wasn't like this. "What's going on?"
Thomas shook his head, then tried hard to smile at Will. "I have to go. See you in class."
He left. Will didn't look behind, and with an awkward, shocked face on himself, he kept on walking on the school garden. When he saw Tessa and Tatiana talking, he started running.
"Promise me," Tessa was saying. They both didn't see Will there. The garden was crowded. "Will won't know about this."
Tatiana made a bitch grin. Will was hating on her, how could he ever date with someone like that? "What's it between you and Will, anyways? Why are you protecting him?"
When he heard the word protect, he understood, that this was about the Axel Mortmain situation.
Tessa made an unsure face, swallowed, then looked into Tatiana's blankly-looking eyes. "Because he's my best friend," she said. Will looked down, he felt ashamed for seeing that dream last night. And feeling happy about it after waking up. "Just- don't tell him anything, okay? That's between you, me and Mortmain."
Mortmain? Will thought. How was she saying the man's name so easily? Did she even know her? If she knew her, when did she meet her? Or, most importantly, why was she talking to Tatiana, and telling her to not to tell anything to Will?
He came next to Tessa. When Tessa and Tatiana finally saw him, Tatiana made a fake cough. "Look who's here," she said. Tessa raised an eyebrow, then stared at Tatiana with an anger on her face. "Don't you dare," she said. Will looked at the girls, and tried to make a dumb face. "What's going on?"
Tessa looked at the boy, then hugged him. That hug made Will feel different. He didn't know what he was feeling, or why he was feeling it now, but he was feeling it. He hugged her, too, even though he was wanting not to see her today.
They started walking away from Tatiana, and when they were away enough, Will looked at Tessa. "What is going on, Tess?"
Tessa looked at the boy. She was acting well, Will had to admit that. "Nothing, William."
The boy sighed. "I heard your secret chat with Tatiana."
Tessa looked down on the ground, then closed her eyes, sadly. Will heard her saying, "Fuck it," quietly. When she looked back at Will, her face was expressionless. Again. "It's..." She stuttered. "It's nothing. We're late to class, William." She blushed. Will couldn't understand anything, but now he did find a purpose, and that purpose was to learn what Tessa was up to. "We can talk about this later."
It was the first time that Will saw Tessa being so desperate like that. He knew, she used to hate Tatiana. And he knew, she'd never ever go talk to her if there wasn't an important situation going on.
He was to learn it.
But whilst walking with her to the Mathematics Campus, he couldn't stop himself from thinking, How am I going to learn what the bloody hell's going on?
