"What happened?" Conrad asked me. I squeezed my eyes shut tight and just shook my head. "I'm guessing it had something to do with Jeremiah, or you would be over in his room instead of mine."

"I'm sorry. I shouldn't have come." I said as I got up to leave. He blocked my way out.

"It's okay Belly, you can stay if you want."

"No, I really should leave." He nodded as I walked towards the door. Before I opened it, I wiped my tears away and took a deep breath. I headed out the door and saw someone comign towards me. It was Jeremiah, he had just rounded the corner, I didn't think he saw me. I quickly backed back into Conrad's room and locked the door. Conrad shot me a quizicle look and then a moment later, thier was a knock on the door.

"Open up, Con! It's Jeremiah! Open up, man!" Jeremiah called from the other side of the door. I shook my head pleadingly at Conrad, begging him not to tell Jere I was here. He just nodded at me and pushed me gently over to the side were Jeremiah couldn't see me when he opened the door.

Conrad opened the door wide enough to make Jeremiah think he wasn't hiding me but closed enough to not let Jeremiah come in. "What's up, Jere?" Conrad asked him calmly.

"Have you seen Belly? I looked for her at her dorm but the person across from her said they haven't seen her since this morning." Jeremiah replied worriedly.

"Sorry, man. Haven't seen her. Did you check with Taylor?" It was silent for a few minutes after Conrad said Taylor's name. I could feel the akwardness radiating off me and Jeremiah. I think Conrad could too.

"I, uh, don't think she's with Taylor." Jeremiah mumbled.

"Dude, what the hell happened?" Conrad asked. Jeremiah was silent for a while. He seemed to be debating whether or not to tell Conrad what really happened.

"Well, I guess she'll probably tell you anyway. I-uh, I- I," He couldn't seem to get the words out. And then he blurted out, "She cheated on me."

'What?' I mentally said. "What!" Conrad really said.

"Yeah, I saw her kissing some guy on the quad." Jeremiah answered.

"Really? Belly? I didn't think she could do something like that. Well, I'll call you if I see her." Jeremiah just murmured a 'thanks' and was on his way. Conrad closed the door and waited for Jeremiah's footsteps to fade away.

"Wholey crap! That did not just happen." I whispered.

"I know, Jeremiah just lied right to my face." Conrad exclaimed.

"How did you know he was lying?" I asked, confused.

"C'mon, Bells! You really think I would believe you cheated on Jere? I know how much you love him, you wouldn't do that."

"Well, Con, sometimes people in love do cheat. Or maybe Jere was never really in love with me." I whispered.

"Wait up, Jere kissed someone else?"

I nodded. "Taylor, and they were doing a lot more than kissing." Conrad looked astonished. And I was just done with it all. "Listen, I know it's kind of wierd, but can I stay here tonight? He's going to be staking out my dorm for a while and I don't really feel like seeing him right now." I asked.

"No problem, Bells. Stay as long as you want." Conrad replied.

"Thanks, Con."
