Dillon caressed her cheek softly leaning towards her slowly. She wasn't moving back which was a good sign he thought to himself. She looked down at his lips and licked her own. He finally neared her brushing his lips against hers.
Dillon suddenly woke up. He looked around and saw no one.
"Shouldn't you be in class?" He heard Diego's voice from behind him. Dillon rolled his eyes.
"You didn't have to smack my head." Dillon said putting his head back into his arms.
"Yeah, well. What are you doing here?" Diego asked him. They were in the lounge; a rare place for Dillon to fall asleep.
"I was studying and I guess I just fell asleep for a little bit. What time is it?" Dillon asked rubbing his eyes.
"Almost twelve-thirty." Diego said sitting down next to him.
"Shit." Dillon mumbled. He closed the book in front of him giving up.
"Too late to go to class, you might as well just talk to me." Diego said grinning.
"What the hell do I want to talk to you for?"
"You wanna talk about Georgie…"
"Yeah? Who said?"
"I said. So what's going on with you and her?" Diego said getting interested.
"Nothing is going on between me and her."
"You've been hanging around her a lot."
"We're just friends Diego." Dillon said sleepily.
"Shouldn't you have like a huge ass smile on your face or something? I mean this is the girl you've been pining after since high school."
Dillon let out a big sigh. He closed eyes for a few seconds. "Nothing is ever going to happen between me and Georgie."
"Oh yeah? Why is that?"
"Because Diego. She has a boyfriend. And he is like…I don't even know how to describe him all right? It's just never gonna work. There's not even a point in being friends with her. It's useless." Dillon said standing up. He grabbed his book. "I gotta go."
Diego didn't say anything and flipped through his magazine. Dillon started to walk off until he heard someone else call out his name. He turned around to see Georgie standing by the table he was sitting at. Diego looked at Georgie and then Dillon and smiled to himself.
"Hey…Georgie." Dillon said feeling uncomfortable all of a sudden.
"Hi." She said happily. "You weren't in class this morning…"
"Yeah…I uh slept in and then I had to study for an exam." Dillon said.
"Oh okay. You wanna go for coffee or something?" She asked him.
"Uh no. I can't. I have a lot of stuff to do." Dillon said turning around.
"Are you avoiding me?" She asked him. Dillon shut his eyes tight and turned around. He opened his eyes and saw a sad look on her face.
"No, I'm just really busy Georgie."
"I know you're lying to me Dillon."
"Okay, I'm out of here." Diego said getting up.
"No sit down." Dillon said to him. Diego immediately sat down. "I don't lie to you Georgie."
"You're lying to me right now." Georgie said upset. Someone came into the lounge and sat down at one of the empty tables in the corner. "We might not know each other that well but I can tell when you're lying and-and you're lying right now." Georgie stammered.
"I told you. I'm busy." Dillon said angrily.
"You know what Dillon? I don't care. Because I don't need you okay? You can go do whatever you need to. I'm leaving." Georgie said angrily. She stormed out of the room.
"Well she's a stubborn one." Diego said.
"Shut up." Dillon said.

Georgie quickly put on her sweater before walking into her dorm room. She opened the door and saw Ryan lying on his stomach reading a book with a pen in his hand. She closed the door behind her.
"Hey honey." She said putting her bag down on the desk. She went and sat down next to him. He immediately got up off the bed. "What's wrong?" She asked him confused.
"I don't know Georgie. You tell me." He said glaring at her.
"I don't know what you're talking about Ryan…"
"You know exactly what the hell I'm talking about." Ryan said. He grabbed her hand and pulled her up off the bed. "You were with Dillon today?" He asked still holding her hand tightly.
"No I wasn't." Georgie said scared.
"Stop lying to me." He said shaking her. "Were you with Dillon today?"
"Yeah, but only for like five minutes." Georgie said slowly. Ryan let her go and turned around.
"I can't trust you anymore Georgie." He started. He turned around. "What am I gonna have to do to make sure you stay loyal to me?"
"Ryan, I'm sorry…how-how did you know?"
"Maybe you were too involved in your conversation with your other boyfriend but one of my friends was there."
"You have someone following me?"
"Well what do you want me to do Georgie? I can't trust you anymore." He said moving closer to her.
"That doesn't give you any right to have me followed." Georgie said upset. Ryan grabbed her again tightly.
"That gives me every fucking right to have you followed."
"Why are you talking like this?" Georgie asked almost crying. Ryan tightened his grip on her.
"God I hate you right now." He said to her disgusted. He pushed her down on the bed. He shook his head and walked out of the room slamming the door behind him.

Georgie stood at Inspiration Point. She wiped her face which was wet with tears. She didn't know what to think. She didn't know what to do. Was there anything that she could do?
"Georgie?" A voice called out to her.
She turned around to see Dillon standing behind her. "What are you doing here?" She asked confused.
"Well…I always come here when I'm upset or just need to clear my mind."
"Strange. I come here for those reasons too." She said smiling. "My mom used to bring me here when I was young. We would just sit here and stare out into space thinking to ourselves."
Dillon walked closer to her and stood next to her. "Can we talk?"
"Sure why not. The damage is already done." She laughed.
"What do you mean?"
"Nothing. What did you wanna talk about?"
"I just wanted to say sorry. You were right. I was trying to avoid you. I don't know why."
"I know why." She said. She faced him and looked him in the eye. "I'm a complicated girl, Dillon. I have a lot of issues. My boyfriend being number one. I come to you with all my problems and you're tired of hearing about it. And I completely understand. I've been using you in a way. You've become my safe haven. But it shouldn't be like that and I'm very sorry."
"No, no Georgie." Dillon said grabbing her shoulders gently. She flinched at his touch and backed away. "I'm…sorry." He said confused. "Um look, the truth is that I really care about you; more than you can ever know. And I just, I want more."
Georgie looked up at him not knowing what to say.
"I'm sorry. Maybe I shouldn't have said that. Look, I know we can't be anything more than friends. But I realized today that I can't lose you as a friend either. I care about you too much."
"Dillon, I can't do this anymore." She said looking away from him. "Something happened today and we can't see each other or talk to each other anymore."
"What else is new Georgie? It's always been like that."
"Ryan knows." Georgie said sternly. "He had one of his friends follow me around today and he was there when I was talking to you in the lounge."
"He's having someone follow you around?" Dillon asked in disbelief.
"Dillon look, I know he's gonna keep doing it okay? We have to stop this." She said to him.
"Georgie, you need me."
"No, I don't need you. I can be by myself. I have Ryan."
"Then I need you."
"No you don't Dillon."
"Georgie, Ryan's an ass. Why are you with him-"
"Not you too Dillon!" Georgie said cutting him off. "Don't ask me that. I have my reasons."
"Georgie," He started putting his hand on her shoulder.
"Please don't touch me." Georgie said.
"Did he hurt you?" He asked her.
Georgie shook her head. She didn't look him in the eye. Dillon went and stood in front of her.
"Georgie, look at me. Did he hurt you?" He asked again. She just stared at him with a sad look in her eyes and said nothing. "You're not going back to your dorm tonight."
"Dillon, I have too."
"I'm not letting you."
"What are you talking about Dillon? Where am I going to go? Ryan would be so worried if I didn't go back."
"Georgie, he doesn't give a damn about you." Dillon said staring her straight in the eye.
"You don't know how much he cares about me Dillon. Yes, he has a different way of showing it but he loves me. I know he does."
He looked away from her, angry. "What did he do to you?"
"Nothing-"
"Georgie, what did he do to you?"
"He just grabbed me Dillon."
"And?"
"And that's it. Will you stop?"
"Georgie, I'm worried about you. Please, will you let me help?"
"There's nothing you can do. I really appreciate you being here for me okay? Just letting me talk to you is enough. But I'm fine really."
Dillon gave her one last, sympathetic look. He slowly looked away from her and walked away.
