Chapter 14
Tess stood in her bedroom quickly packing her things. She tossed books in one box, clothes in another, shoes in yet another. Pogue kept walking by the door glancing in but Tess ignored him.
Pogue walked back into the living room and pulled out his cell. He used speed dial to call Caleb.
"What's up man," Caleb said.
"She's packing right now Caleb, my sister is really moving out," Pogue replied as he sat down on the sofa. He dropped his head into his hands and sighed loudly. "Caleb I can't let her leave, have you figured out what is going on?"
"Reid and I have been working on this for the past 3 days Pogue," Caleb said quickly. "We haven't found anything though. Maybe she's telling the truth, maybe she really was involved with Chase."
"What does Tyler say," Pogue asked.
"I haven't talked to him since he left the hospital that night," Caleb replied. "Reid and I have called him several times but he won't pick up. Reid doesn't know where he is. Tyler's not at the dorms or with his parents."
"This sucks man, this really sucks," Pogue complained.
"See if you can stall her Pogue, but if she wants to go you have to let her. Stopping her could set her off, that wouldn't be good for her right now," Caleb said.
"You're right, I'll try one more time," Pogue said before hanging up. He glanced up and Tess was standing at the end of the hallway staring at him.
"Talking to Caleb," she asked, the tone of her voice made Pogue cringe inwardly. Every time he mentioned any of the guys Tess freaked out. She could barely stand to be around Pogue.
"It doesn't matter," Pogue said quickly.
Tess rolled her eyes and picked up some boxes. The lugged them toward the door and stacked them up. "I left the address of my new place on the refrigerator. I'll be back in a couple of hours to get the rest of my stuff," Tess said as she opened the door.
"You don't have to move out Tess," Pogue said.
"Yeah I do Pogue, Chase is gone and it's all your fault. Well Caleb, Reid, and Tyler are to blame too so don't feel to bad about it."
"Tess listen I don't know what's going on with you, but Chase was not a good guy. You need to let this go," Pogue pleaded.
Tess snapped her gaze up to met Pogue's. "Let this go," she asked lowly. "Yeah Pogue I'll let it go, I'll just forget that Caleb killed the boy I love and that Reid and Tyler let Caleb torture me. It will be a piece of cake to let go of that."
Tess grabbed her boxes and stepped out the door. "Have a nice life big brother," Tess said angrily before slamming the door.
Author's note: I know, I know, you are angry with me because this is so short. I honestly could not think of a way to make this longer though. I felt like this needed to be a chapter all by itself though. An oppurtunity to see how this is affecting Pogue. There will be more soon, I promise.
