I didn't hear from Gavin, for a long time. It had been a month and I hadn't
received any calls, mail or even an unexpected visit. That month I was
definitely depressed.
I started to eat less, and my schoolwork was sad and depressing. Today at dinner I barely ate anything. Trisha noticed and tried to cheer me up by saying, "Christie he'll call."
"Or come through your window like a cat burglar," Zack said laughing. It was a joke but that made me feel even worse so I got up and ran to my room and cried. After I stopped sobbing I fell slowly asleep. When I woke, I gazed at the ceiling. I looked over at the clock and it was about 7:00 pm. Right now Brittany, Zack and Trisha would be downstairs watching a movie. I got out of bed and I went to the bathroom to wash my face and shower so I could pay a visit to Tamara.
After I got dressed and everything, I walked a block or so to the dormitory building. I walked slowly to the door. I stood at the door for a while, hoping that Carlos wasn't there because I really needed a friend to talk to right now. I knocked and Tamara poked her head out as usual.
"Oh hey Christie, come in I was just about to order some pizza." I walked in slowly and flopped down on her couch. "So what's been bothering you Christie," Tamara said as she cradled the receiver.
"How did you know," I looked at her abashed that she knew me so well.
"Well you came in without your usual smile and your usual glow," Tamara said smiling and slightly raising one of her eyebrows. Tamara slowly lowered herself down to the loveseat that lay across from me.
"Well Tamara it's Gavin, he has not called or made any acknowledgement that he isn't dead, basically I'm worried."
"Just how long have you guys been apart," Tamara's brows started to come together as she was thinking.
"About a month and 2 weeks," I said.
"Wow, that is a long time, you should call him right now and see if he is home," Tamara grabbing the phone. I quickly dialed the phone number but there was no answer. Where could he be, I thought to myself. Then I realized what I must do, which is to go out to visit him.
"Tamara I got to go," I said standing up abruptly.
"Bye Christie," Tamara yelled just as I slipped out of the door.
It was a little late but I called a cab to take me to Gavin's place. I got into the cab and the cab took me down to where Gavin was.
When I stepped out of the cab, I was nervous for some unexplainable reason. I went into the building and walked to room number Gavin had given me. I knocked on the door. There was no answer at first, and then I heard someone walking towards the door.
"Hello," he looked me up and down, "may I ask who you are?" a guy with brown hair and bright green eyes.
"Hi I'm Christie is Gavin here."
"No not anymore, he moved out of here he is living in the Fraternity house now."
"Where is that?"
"Oh are you Christie? Gavin told me about you, I completely forgot. He asked me to call you and tell you he had moved out."
"Okay, but where is the fraternity house," I said getting annoyed.
"It is down the street." I got back into the cab without even saying goodbye and went to the house where Gavin was. I stood before the house with satisfaction. I had found him. I stepped onto the porch and rang the doorbell. I waited for a while then a guy with flaming red hair and dark green eyes answered,
"Hey, who are you," he asked, smiling.
"I'm looking for Gavin Longchamp."
"Oh, Hey Gavin! There's a girl named Christie here to see you!" the redheaded guy yelled to the stairs. "Come in and sit down he'll be down a few seconds, probably doing homework or something."
Just as I stepped in the house I saw Gavin almost race downstairs. "Christie!" He quickly run up to me and we embraced each other.
My words came in a jumble "Gavin what happened I didn't hear from you, I was worried sick."
"Wow, I wish I had a girl who would worry about me like that," said one of the guys sarcastically. I suppose a girl was a strange sight in a house full of guys.
"Christie let's go upstairs," Gavin said rolling his eyes at his roommate. "Oh, then I have to call Trisha and tell her I won't be coming home tonight," I whispered in Gavin's ear.
I started to eat less, and my schoolwork was sad and depressing. Today at dinner I barely ate anything. Trisha noticed and tried to cheer me up by saying, "Christie he'll call."
