“Oh sorry,” she said and tried to not smile.
They were running around again and blonde two yelled, “Hey Linksy, you hungry,” she asked and laughed.
“Grow up Jenny,” he growled.
“So two is Jenny, hmm,” she said. He expected she would be furious and jealous by this and she didn’t seem to be, he wondered why, “And you like to,” she started.
“No,” he said in a monotone voice.
She smiled and bit her lip. She was curious about him and wanted to talk about what he liked but this probably was not the time or place she thought. Here they come again, what would she learn this time.
“Hey Luke,” she started.
“Go fuck yourself Carly,” he said through clenched teeth.
“Oh I know how that turns you on, same cell number,” she asked “Maybe I could send you a video.”
“Number three is Carly and you and her,” Tessa said out loud.
“I am ready now Tessa,” he said with a pained look on his face.
She rode to the bus on his back kissing his neck as they passed the fan club. He laughed and so did she.
“Links come say hi before you leave,” came a voice from a crowd of guys standing near their bus.
“Luke, she will be riding home with me,” she turned and saw her mother.
“Shit,” Tessa whispered in his ear, “it’s my mom.”
Luke turned around and saw her car parked next to the bus. “Of course Mrs. Ross,” he said smiling at her. He sat her down and kissed her gently on the lips. “Sorry about this,” Luke said.
Maggie picked up her leg and looked at it, “We are going to the ER,” she said.
“Mom its fine, just take me home,” she said.
“Do you think it’s broke?” Luke asked nervously.
“I don’t know I just want to be sure,” she said to him, “Luke why did they go after her like this?”
“Mom could we leave please?” Tessa whined.
“I am sorry Mrs. Ross,” he said as he stared at Tessa, “I am Tessa, very sorry.”
Her mom got in the car and Luke walked over to the crowd, he shook hands with several of them.
“That your new piece of ass Links?” one of the guys asked.
“Tessa is my girlfriend,” Luke snapped.
“Oh how long have you been taping that ass?” another asked.
“It’s not like that man,” Luke said.
“You got a virgin,” he asked, “What the hell are you waiting for? Want me to break her in for you, she looks like she could be a lot of fun and has stamina.”
“Do not fucking talk about her like that,” Luke said as he grabbed him by the shirt and pushed him against the bus.
He put his hands up in the air, “Okay man, okay.”
Tommy grabbed Luke’s shirt and they walked away. Jenny smacked his butt as he walked by and smirked at Tessa, he kept walking, “Call me Linksy,” she said. He kept walking and didn’t look back.
“Is that what you want Tessa?” her mother asked disgusted.
“Did you hear a word he said Mom? He’s exactly what I want,” Tessa smirked.
Chapter 9
They pulled into the Medical Center, where her Mom worked. Maggie parked and helped Tessa hobble through the door. She went up to the nurse’s station and talked to a friend of hers. Maggie came back and took Tessa through the double doors. She did her vitals and charting, then led her back to a room. Maggie left and went behind the counter and worked at the computer. She brought Tessa a yellow bracelet in and put it on her wrist.
Tessa’s mother worked here and had for three years. She was good at her job and Tessa loved that when there was a problem they got to go right in and she took care of them, no waiting. The x-ray tech wheeled her back to the room and took some shots of her ankle. “How are you doing today Tessa?” he asked, “What happened to you?”
“Field hockey game,” Tessa smiled.
“What position did you play, the ball?” he asked sarcastically.
“No,” she laughed “forward, we won.”
“How did you do?” he asked as he helped her onto the table.
“I had some good shots, I played the whole game and walked off the field after the clock ran out,” Tessa said smiling.
“That’s impressive,” he said smiling as he snapped the shots he needed.
A phlebotomist came in and told her they would be doing some lab work, “For an ankle injury?” she asked. The tech smiled and took five tubes. At least her mother wasn’t in the room; she was giving her some privacy.
The doctor came in and told her she had a tiny fracture in her ankle, nothing they would have caught normally; many people have these and don’t even know it. The pain is from the bruising which is pretty severe but will heal quickly as long as she takes it easy. He put some sort of salve on it and wrapped it tightly. Her back was fine. He looked down at her chart, “It says here that you would like to start birth control pills. We are going to need to do a vaginal exam and be sure everything is alright before I give you the prescription. The pill needs to be taken at the same time each day.”
“You’re doing a vaginal exam?” Tessa burst out.
“No Tessa I wouldn’t feel comfortable with that. A nurse practitioner will do that and then we will talk after,” he said.
She now knew why he looked so familiar, “Is my Mom on the pill?” Tessa asked.
“Tessa that’s nothing you and I will be discussing,” the doctor said.
“Tessa,” her Mom said as she burst through the door. “That’s enough!”
“What are you doing Mom? Because I have a boyfriend you’re putting me on the pill? What if it’s too late, what if he and I have been screwing for weeks now, shit you may be a grandma soon, hey doc what’s it going to be like banging a grandma?” Tessa looked at him her eye’s angry.
“Maggie things will be better if you stay outside, I can handle this,” he said to her holding the door opened as she walked out. “She is trying to help you Tessa, most Moms wouldn’t think to do this and many times it’s too late.”
“Well,” Tessa said loudly, “I am sure I am not pregnant because I swallow it,” Holy shit Tessa what are you saying, what are you doing she thought. “No need for condoms he won’t wear one and he has been around,” she said laughing.
“Your lab results show that there is no pregnancy,” he started. Of course not idiot I haven’t had sex yet. “And you are STD free. The nurse practitioner will be in momentarily,” he said and left the room.
~
The NP came in and asked Tessa to take off her panties and sit on the table. Tessa did as she asked, she was scared and angry. The nurse pulled out what looked like legs and Tessa gasped. What the hell was this thing, it looks like a damn robot, the Vagatron 5000? She told her to lay back and put her feet in the stirrups, and Tessa reluctantly did. She watched as she uncovered the tray on the wheeled cart next to her, her eyes widened when she saw the metal clamp looking thing, she told her to relax her knees and she put some cold slimy stuff between her legs. Tessa held her breath and the nurse put her fingers inside her. Tessa gasped and began to close her knees and the nurse asked her to relax again and poked around between her legs, she told her she was going to feel a slight pressure on her rectum and before Tessa knew it she had shoved her finger in her ass. She jolted up and looked terrified and the nurse removed her glove.
“Tessa we are almost done,” she said. “Lie back please.”
Tessa laid back and tears flooded her eyes. She saw the nurse grab the clamp thing and she put a headlight on her head, holy fuck what was she going to do now she thought, she grabbed the side of the bed and dug her nails into the hard plastic and she began to cry. The nurse slowly put the cold object in her and Tessa heard a click sound and a very painful pressure and pinch. She took what looked like a large Q-tip and rubbed it around inside her. She placed it in a petri dish. Tessa could not imagine what was next. She didn’t want to know, she closed
her eyes as the tears continued flowing down her cheeks. Tessa heard a click and the pressure was gone, and the clamp was removed.
The nurse saw her tears, “You can sit up now Tessa.” She handed her a tissue and sat in her stool and put away the Vagatron's cold metal legs. “Everything looks good Tessa, the only issue is your uterus is slightly tipped but that is not a big deal, okay?” she asked. “Do you have any questions?”
Tessa took a few deep breaths and wiped her tears. “Am I still a virgin?” she said and began to cry again.
She stood up and hugged her. “Of course you are, there is a thin layer of skin further up in the vagina, still intact and will be until you have sex or there is heavy manual stimulation,” she sat back down.
“Tessa I can sense that you and your mother are having issues, I want you to take my number and call me if you ever need anything, okay? But she is a good woman, I have known her for years, and she loves you.”
“If she loved me she wouldn’t have done this to me,” Tessa cried, “I don’t want him back in here, can’t you just finish this up I want to go home. I don’t want her back in here either; she can go get the car… can you tell her that please.”
“Sure Tessa, I am going to leave and I will be back with paperwork for you, your mom will have her own okay, there is a box of tissues for you to clean up with right there. You may have some bleeding so there’s a pad if you want to use it,” she smiled and left the room.
Tessa got dressed and sat and waited for the nurse practitioner to return. She gave Tessa information on STD’s, lots of information. She handed her three packs of birth control pills and a bunch of condoms and explained how to use them. She handed her a card with her office information on the front and she wrote her cell number on the back. She gave her crutches to use for two weeks, which she explained would help her heal better the less she put weight on it which met no running or practice until she was seen again in two weeks.
~
She used the crutches as she walked out of the ER. Her mom got out and opened the door for her. She glared at her and opened the back door and got in. Her book bag was still on the bus, “Damn it,” she said.
“Tessa, your mouth,” Maggie snapped.
“My mouth Mom, what about my vagina? How does it feel to sit outside a room knowing someone is in there fucking raping me on a hospital bed?” Tessa yelled at her.
“It was time for you to have an exam Tessa, it’s a routine exam that all women have once a year once there sexually active and you better not speak like that again,” Maggie said trying to stop her voice from quivering.
“Your boyfriend Dr. Feel Good and you make that decision together Mom, you two have a lengthy conversation about my vagina?” Tessa asked rudely.
“Tessa that’s enough,” Maggie said softly.
“No it’s not! What the hell makes you think that any part of that was okay?” Tessa screamed.
“Your actions Tessa, you’re kissing that boy at the end of every game, and the way you sat on his lap, and he was holding you today Tessa, that’s what made it necessary,” Maggie yelled back at her.
“So you get to decide who penetrates me first?” Tessa screamed and tears started flooding down her face. “I hate you Mom and want you to know you literally opened that box, so now its game on!”
Tessa’s mom started towards her house, “Not a chance, I want to go home,” Tessa insisted and her mom took her home.
~
They pulled in and she saw Jade was there. Thank God she thought. She got out of the car “Oh no Tessa are you okay?” Jade asked.
“I am fine, but want to tell the story only once so can we go inside please,” Tessa asked drying her face.
Her mom followed them in the house and opened the cupboard and grabbed a glass of water and handed Tessa a pain pill, “Take this it’ll help with the pain,” she said. Tessa swallowed the pill and sat at the table, her dad warmed up dinner and she sat pushing it around her plate.
“Tessa has a small hairline fracture on her ankle bone. She will have to be seen in two weeks to be released for PE and Hockey then. Her bruises are pretty severe and she is going to hurt a lot more in the morning. She can have a pain pill every 6 hours but it will make her drowsy and loopy so she should stay home from school tomorrow,” Maggie said as if giving a report at work.
“I will stay with her for a few hours,” Jade offered.
“Jade honey you need to go to school. John what is your schedule tomorrow, I have to work until three.” She said.
“I have a delivery in the morning, I will be home by noon,” John answered.
“So Jade it is,” Tessa smiled.
“That’s up to her father Tessa,” John said. “Is that all Maggie?”
Maggie answered, “Yes” and she kissed Alex and Tessa on the head, she walked upstairs and kissed the little ones and left. She walked to the car, pulled out and began to sob.
Tessa started laughing, “What’s wrong Tessa,” John asked.
“Everything and nothing, I am feeling loopy,” Tessa said, “And I am one dirty girl.”
Jade drew a bath for her and Tessa got in. She washed her hair and sat until the water was cooling and she got out. Jade had left to get an overnight bag and things for school. She returned and sat on the couch with Tessa who was high as a kite. “Luke hasn’t called has he?” she tried to sit up but couldn’t she started to laugh. Jade laughed and got up and grabbed her bag, there were seven missed calls and ten text messages. Tessa was staring at the phone and it rang, his picture popped up “There he is,” she said and laughed. Jade took the phone and pushed the button answering his call.
“Hey Luke it’s Jade,” she said.
“She left her bag on the bus I brought it up so she would have it when she got home and she just got out of the bath and is stoned out of her mind on pain pills,” she laughed. “I guess you could try,” she handed the phone to Tessa.
“Hello,” she said slowly.
“I am alright,” she answered.
“I would love that Luke,” she laughed.
“Can Jade tell you because I am falling…” Tessa dropped the phone.
“Hey Luke, no I am staying with her tonight and hanging out here in the morning. Her Dad has a delivery he is leaving at six in the morning. Well her ankle is fractured and she is badly bruised, and as you already know she is on some pain pills for the next few days. Okay see you then. I will tell her. Talk to you soon,” she said and hung up. She looked over and Tessa was fast asleep.
She grabbed her phone and sent a text to Tommy

Jade was smiling ear to ear as she jumped up and ran upstairs and grabbed blankets and pillows. She laid Tessa down on the overstuffed couch and covered her up, Tessa said Luke’s name in her sleep and she laughed. She took the loveseat and fell asleep dreaming of November.
Jade woke up to Tessa trying to stand up, she helped her in the bathroom and she was bleeding a lot. “Tessa it’s not your week,” she said. Tessa started crying and told her the whole story, about Dr. Feel Good, about her fight with her mom, about the Vagatron; she cried and told her about every painful moment. How she felt like she had been raped and how she hated her mom.
Jade began to cry with her, “I am so sorry Tessa,” she said. She ran the bath and helped Tessa in. She grabbed her pain pills off of the counter and gave her one and a cup of water. The bathroom door was opened as she left to get Tessa’s clothes
“Jade please grab me Luke’s sweatshirt off of my bed and some grandma panties,” she laughed.
“Of course Tessa” she said wiping her eyes and closing the door behind her. She turned and saw Tommy and Luke standing with a brown bag in the living room looking horrified.
~
Tommy smiled weakly “We brought breakfast,” he said and held the bag up.
“SHHH” Jade said to them and walked closer, “She is going to die when she founds out you were here.”
“Not before my mother does,” Alex said his voice coming from behind Jade.
Jade looked down and she was in underwear and a tank top, her face turned red and she ran up the stairs. She came down holding Tessa’s clothes. She kissed Tommy, “Hey pretty girl, I am moving that back to a six month revisit,” Tommy said looking terrified.
“I agree,” she said walking into the bathroom.
“I feel better,” Tessa laughed.
“The pills kicked in hu,” Jade said.
“Yep, I think I could go for a run, on these babies,” Tessa said. “Awe Jade you got my sweatshirt, help me put it on” she said, “no not the bra I want my boobies touching it,” she laughed “might want to grab two pads,” she laughed.
“Tessa the boys are out there so try to be quiet,” Jade whispered.
