"right this way, mr. and mrs. paul." she smiles, walking ahead of us to a table.
i cringe at the name she gives us while tessa smirks.
"maybe one day." she whispers in my ear.
i just roll my eyes and she continues walking. the waitress finally leads us to a table with a candle, a tiny vase with a flower, salt and pepper, and everything else you would find at a fancy restaurant table.
i pull out tessa's chair for her. my instincts say to pull it out farther so she falls on her ass, but my brain says to not do that.

"yes, i'll have the 11 ounce filet mignon please." i order, closing my menu and handing it to the waitress.
she smiles and writes some things on her notepad.
"and for you miss?" she turns towards tessa.
"get me a caesar salad." she says, not even making eye contact with the waitress.
the waitress picks up her menu as her smile fades, but she puts a fake one back on.
"i'll have that right out for you." she says, walking away.
i sigh. "tessa, you could've ordered with manners."
"don't tell me what to do." she snaps.
i shake my head in disappointment as she plays on her phone. i look around the room, looking at all the happy couples. holding each other's hands across the table, men stopping women from paying, and working up an actual conversation.
and then i see them.
dawn and chance.
having a romantic dinner, being all lovey and shit.
i guess she moved on.
but with chance? my best friend?
in all honesty, i could care less about her being with chance. but the fact that she's with someone else makes me mad. and jealous, i have to admit.
chance says something, and she laughs.
her laugh. one of the best things i've ever heard in my life.
besides her moaning my name, but that's not the point.
she looks so sexy, did i mention that?

it's not until i look down and see i'm growing a boner. crap, what if tessa notices?
you know what, who cares?
i continue looking at her, until her eyes gaze off chance and fall into mine.
her eyes widen and her laugh dies down. she looks at me and mouths 'restroom'. i nod and clear my throat.
dawn's pov
"hey chance, i'm gonna go use the restroom real quick, i'll be right back." i say. he nods and smiles as i walk away.
i quickly walk to the girls restroom, and head for the biggest stall and lean against the wall.
i can't believe he's here. after 2 months i'm finally going to see him.
it makes me so sad to see him like this, i still watch his vlogs and he seems so sad with his life with tessa controlling it. i've messaged him a couple of times, but that was stopped because tessa walked in and found out one day.
my thoughts are interrupted when the bathroom door opens.
"dawn?" he whispers as the door shuts.
"i'm in the biggest stall." i say back.
i hear footsteps and the stall door opens.
he stands there as a tear rolls down his face.
"baby." he says, running up to me and picking me up, swinging me around as i hold onto his neck.
"i've missed you so much. i don't want to be with tessa anymore, i want to be with you. i miss everybody, i miss the house, i miss you." he chokes out, by now he's full on sobbing.
"oh, jake." i say, as he sits down on the floor against the wall, as i do the same thing.
i hold him in my arms as he cries into my shoulder.
"t-tessa hurts me. and she never leaves m-me alone." he cries. "this is the only time s-she let me go somewhere by myself."
it makes me sad to see him so sad and hurt, so i start tearing up too.
"baby, we'll figure this out. i'll call the police and have tessa arrested. i miss you too." i say.
he doesn't say anything besides sighing.
"i love you jake." i smile.
he looks up into my eyes and smiles. "i love you too."
