Chapter 1 - Madness.
Will was walking along the main corridor after PE – they had just done the bleep test and he was tired.
He was thinking about Djaq, he didn't have PE with her this term and he missed her in the hour they had been apart.
Suddenly he heard sounds from the store cupboard. It was Djaq and someone who sounded like a man- but he wasn't sure.
"I just need you to do one thing for me, please, I wouldn't ask otherwise." said the boys voice.
Then came the wonderful sound of Djaq's heavily accented one,
"But I can't, I don't understand why you need me to, you could ask anyone."
" But I'm embarrassed, I need you to, and if you don't then I will never be able to."
"ok then"
Will smiled to himself. Djaq was very smart, especially at chemistry and many people needed her help but surely this boy could wait a minute while they had a bit of a juicy reunion.
He burst through the door but when he saw who Djaq was with he stood frozen to the spot. It was Allan, and worse, they were kissing passionately.
"Will…." Djaq trailed off.
"I'm not being funny right, but it's not what it looks like" said Allan.
"Save it!" said Will and ran off back to the dorms in tears. How could his one true love abandon him for one of his best friends! He didn't understand this, only yesterday they had had a bit of their own fun behind the tattoo parlour. Without Djaq he didn't understand how his life could be worth living.
When he arrived back in his common room he saw much and dean in a very cosy position by the fire, they were so absorbed in each other that they didn't notice him and he had just seen robin sneaking up to Marion's room for reasons best kept between students.
He tiptoed silently up to his room and sat down on his bed despairingly. He looked over to the window and saw a piece of rope that robin used when he needed to get out a night and was struck with an idea.
He prepared the rope and hung it from one of the roof bars in the dorm, he readied himself to take his own life and thought of all the people he was going to leave behind, Robin, John, Marion, Much, Allan (he wouldn't b too upset) and most of all he thought of Djaq, the woman who only yesterday had said that she had loved him and would do anything for him, well she had Allan now. He put his head in the noose and prepared to be gone from this life and welcomed into the next
Suddenly he heard a scream. It was Marion, standing by robin's suitcase with something that looked suspiciously like a condom in her hand.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING!" she screamed, "ARE YOU CRAZY!"
"Well Djaq doesn't love me anymore and so what is the point in living?" he sobbed.
"What makes you say that?"
"Well I caught her and Allan in the store cupboard, u know….. Kissing."
"You idiot!" Marion laughed "don't tell anyone I told you ok but Allan is really worried about kissing Paula and so he asked me for help to practice but I said that Robin would be really upset if he found out so I couldn't. I think that he then went and asked Djaq, you know how he used to have a crush on her!"
"Oh…..," will said, feeling stupid.
He climbed down from his makeshift step that he had made in DT last year and gave Marion a quick kiss to thank her but he was surprised when she kissed him back, slipping her tongue into his mouth.
"What?!" he said but she pushed him back onto his bed and continued moving her hands everywhere. Just then Djaq walked in with Robin, who was only wearing a few items of clothing and was obviously getting impatient with waiting for Marion. They gasped when they saw the scene around them, Marion and Will on the bed, the condom in her hand and the noose on the ceiling.
"HOW COULD YOU!" screamed Djaq
"She just came onto me," stuttered Will. "And anyway I don't understand why I am at fault here, you kissed Alan!"
"That was to help someone!" cried Djaq
"But Marion is obviously as drunk as Robin and that will have affected her descision" said Dean who had come into the room to see what all the screaming was about.
For the first time everyone properly looked at Marion and Robin. It was true, they were both obviously completely out of it.
"What about if we just let this go?" suggested Will
"Fine by me," said Djaq
And with that they realised that everyone else had tactfully left them alone and they fell back onto the bed where they lay together.
"I love you will." Whispered Djaq
"I love you to" answered Will
"And I have something to tell you" said Djaq, "I'm pregnant!"
