Tessa waved to her boss as she finished up her car. "I'm out of here. See you in the next couple days!" She called out. Leaving the fancy wire job to Alex. He was good at what he did and they knew better than to try and get more money off someone by messing with their car. That's how you lost buisness, but some places just didnt care. She haded shops like that. Pulling her jacket and backpack from her locker she headed out the door. Once out of the place she pulled on the leather jacket, pulling on her helmet was when the two men would watch her mount a Yamaha motorcyle. The sleek black. Simple and a fairly cheap, it saved her on gas as well. She took off after she had started it. She drove normally, not speeding and taking her time to get to the diner. They had her check finally. It was a wrek late and though her typical bills were paid she still had her fathers debt to clear. Her payments were small and according to her dad, they wanted it all. Hence why she had moved so much. Her father had come clean a couple years ago, telling her about his heaping debt to some person he barely knew. She had hated him for a long time, but if her father died they would come after her, so she agreed to help, thpugh her father never seemed to be helping himself. She had sent him somewhere, quiet life, working a minimum paying job and she was in charge of hia bills as well as her own, his money was monitored, by hwr and he seemed to be doung better. She felt like she was the parent and he was her unruly trouble making child. She hated him, but despite that she still loved him, somehow.<br/><br/>She turned into the dining parking lot when she noticed the car. She turned, looking at it. Same one from the shop and in her gut she felt a nasty, sinking feeling. She walked inside the diner, brushing it from her mind. She had to be imagining it. With that she headed inside to get her check. "Hey Lou, I'm here for my check." She called out over the counter. The older woman waved to her and quickly walked over placing it in her hand. "Thanks Lou!" She called softly. The old woman called out her apology for it being late and Tessa just waved her off and went back out to her bike.<br/><br/>Getting to the bike she glanced back to the car. A shiver running up her spine. She really didn't like the looks of them. She took off heading home, trying to pretend that she was just imagining it. But as she got home she felt the need to look around, and there was the car. She parked and walked into the run down apartments. Going inside she practicallu ran up the stairs and disappeared into room C7, slamming the door shut she locked it.<br/><br/>Breathing hard as she shook a bit. She knew what it meant, seeing men like that. She closed her eyes and tried to calm herself down. She was imagining things, she had to be. How would they know about her? Drawing the curtains and making it impossible to see into her apartments she could do nothing but wait. She needed to calm down. Walking across the tiny apartment she stripped her clothes and climbed into the shower. The hot water helping her nerves as it washed away the oil that covered her body. She sat in the shower and her mind wandered. Who were these men and were they really after her? She truly hated this. These were the days when she hated her father the most. Looking over her shoulder for things she hadn't even done. She despised it. She absolutely loathed him for it and yet when he came begging for help, when he called her his Angel her heart throbbed and she gave in like always. Finishing washing she got out of the shower. Tesss was already stressed and strapped for money, she didnt need these men finding her. She walked to the dresser and pulled on her pj's when she heard a knock on the door. She nearly dropped to the floor as she jumped so badly. Her eyes darting across the room as she grasped her chest. "Tess, baby. Open up." Her frightened look instantly hardened at the voice on the otherside. "Get lost Alan."She growled from the distance. Her ex, back at her door, begging for her to come to the door. Tessa ran a hand through her wet locks at her stress levels slowly began to sky rocket. Of all the things she didnt need right now. "Tess, baby, please. I just need to talk to you." His voice whined out, only adding to Tessa already frayed nerves. "I'll call the cops Alan. Fuck off." She snarled out. That was when she heard Alan tell someone to leave him be and then silence.<br/><br/>Confused Tessa blinked as silence slowly filled her ears. There was no way, no way alan left so easilt. Usually he would have to be drahged away by the police. He never once had walked away. She cringed as another knock came. This one was soft, but no voice came from the other side. Her heart sank as that nasty gut feeling came again. Tessa was frozen on the otherside of the apartment. "I said go away, Alan!" Her voice broke as she spoke making her bite her tongue.  More silence. Nothing, no begging, no sounds at all. She could only stare at the door as she feared moving towards it.
