Hey everyone, it seems like everytime I update I have a new excuse, and it also seems like I've said that before. Laptop charger broke, just got my new one :p
Read, Enjoy, Review? Please? I'll pay you? Not Really?
My eyes fluttered open, and the first thing I noticed was that this wasn't my dorm room, the next thing was two arms wrapped securely around my waist. Memories of last night flooded my memory. The storm. The picture. The pizza. The movie. The T.J...
I slowly, carefully slipped my way out of his grip, and walked over to the window. It was horrible outside, branches everywhere, there were benches overturned, scattered everywhere, even a picnic table that was supposed to be on the other side of campus had made its way over here. I was glad I didn't have to walk to my dorm. Suddenly the same arms that had been around me not two minuets ago were there again in the same place, I felt the pressure of his chin resting on my shoulder before he spoke
"Pretty bad out there, huh?"
The only sound I could muster was a quick 'Mhmm' What am I going to do, I had two options. Painfully try to explain that last night was an accident, and that he really shouldn't be doing this so soon after his break up with Becca. Or two, just do what you've wanted to since you got here, the reason you came in the first place and just be with T.J. damnit! Oh shit, he was talking
"What?" I asked, turning my head a bit towards him. He chuckled
"I said, do you want to go get breakfast? There's not much here"
"Uh, sure, just let me go to my dorm to get dressed" I said
"Ok, I'll meet you there in fifteen minuets, is that enough time? I knew you were never one to take an hour to get ready, unlike some people." He said the last part quieter than the rest, and I knew who he was talking about
"Yea, that's fine" I said, reluctantly pulling away from him, and leaving to wander the halls back to my room, I walked in and Jessica was sleeping, I checked my phone and saw it was almost nine, she didn't have a class at 10, so I wasn't surprised she was still asleep. I quietly going through my dresser, getting the outfit I was going to wear and changed. I folded T.J.'s pants and put them on my bed, I planned on washing them before I gave them back. I went into the bathroom and put on the minimal amount of makeup I had been wearing since Sophomore year, as I was walking out I saw Jessica slowly getting up
"Morning sunshine" I said walking past her to get my phone off my desk
"When did you get back? Where even were you last night? Sleepover at Lucus's?" She asked sleepily
"No, sleepover at T.J.'s" I said, my back to her
"Really? Did you guys-"
"No, we didn't" I said cutting her off
"I was going to ask if you guys talked things over, give me a little credit" She said
"Oh, well we didn't do that either" I said, with a frown
"Pity, you two need to just get together all ready, you like him, he likes you, just let him love you!" She said throwing a pillow at me
"It's not that simple Jess" I said right as there was a knock on the door
"Who is that?"
"No one Jessica"
"Is it T.J.?"
"Shut up Jessica" I threw the pillow back at her before opening the door
"It is isn't it! Let him love you Ashley! Let him love you!" She shouted
"Goodbye Jessica!" I yelled back as I closed the door
"What did she say?" T.J. asked
"Nothing, she's drunk" I responded. I'm sure he knew what she said, but still laughed at that
I followed him to another little restaurant on a side of campus I hadn't been before, we just talked about school on the way there, and until we had already gotten our breakfast, but, of course, the inevitable question came.
"So where are we at Spin?" He asked, I just stared at my plate
"I don't know T.J."
"What do you mean you don't know"
"You and Becca just broke up, and it seems a little fast for you to be getting into a new relationship so quickly"
"That's not it, is it? You're still scared, why can't you just let this work, cause you know damn well that it would" I could tell from his voice he was getting angry
"It's just, I know I was expecting something when I came back here, and that wasn't even close to how it really was, and I don't know what to do, I don't...I Just don't know."
"Damnit Spinelli" He said hitting the table, causing the whole restaurant to look over at us "I'm done, let me know when you know what you want, ok?" He stood up, and took out his wallet, throwing a few bills on the table before storming out
I just sat there staring at the door till I couldn't see him anymore, then I put my face in my hands. I was honest with him, I truly don't know what to do. I don't know how long I was sitting there till I felt someone's hand on my shoulder, I looked up and it was a sad looking waitress, she handed me a muffin, and gave me a pat on the back before going back to work. I took that as a sign I should probably go.
I wandered around campus with the muffin in my hand before I ended up in front of my door, walking inside I noticed a boy facing away from me in my desk chair, when I closed the door, he turned in the chair showing that he had a dozen roses in his hands
"Hello Beautiful!" He said happily "Oh, Ashley it's you. Shit, not that your not pretty, I just-"
"It's fine Darren" I said sadly, before flopping on my bed
"You ok?" He asked
"I'm fine, just tired" I lied, why would I talk about my problems to my roommates boyfriend?
"Oh, well ok then, do you know when Jessie's getting back?" He asked
"She should be here any minuet, she'll be glad your here, she was pretty bummed last night"
"Yea, I know, she doesn't know I'm here so I'm excited for her to come home" Just then the door opened and there stood Jessica
"Darren! What are you doing here!" She yelled excitedly
"I came to surprise you" He said, handing her the flowers
"Aww" Then she noticed me "Ashley what's wrong?" She asked
"Nothing, just tired" I replied
"Tired my butt what's wrong" She said, sitting next to me on my bed, placing the flowers on the other side of her
"Breakfast didn't go too well, I'd rather not talk about it" I said
"You know the best place to not talk about things? Parties, and lucky for you, I know of one going on tonight, what do you say?" She asked
I could really use a distraction, so why not?
A few hours later, we were al ready to go, and luckily, the party was near us, just up one floor. We got there and it seemed like it might actually be a good night, I grabbed a drink and rejoined Jessica and Darren.
Over the course of the night, I realized how wrong I was. No matter what, He was the only thing I could think of. Him, and the last words he said to me. After about two hours Jess and Darren left with some other people to a party across campus that was supposed to be 'The rager of the century' I told them I'll pass. So I stayed, and drank, and danced, and drank. I had once heard that alcohol makes you feel better, and so far that wasn't working, so I just kept pouring drink after drink down my throat, until it got to the point where I had no idea what was going on
So, I haven't made a chapter that was T.J. POV yet in this story, so guess what's coming next chapter :D
Anywho, I hope you enjoyed it, reviews would be nice, love you guys 3
