I lie on my bed staring at the ceiling. I can not help but think of the day's events. They all come crashing into my head repeatedly, forcing me to stay awake. Where did the day start going wrong?
The day started off with me wandering down the corridor to my girl's dorm room. Today was going to be the day I sorted out this mess of a relationship once and or all. Well that was the theory. Truth be told, I was just hoping she wouldn't be home, I hadn't planned what to do after that. I had got so used to her not being there, I wasn't sure what I would say to her if she was. I got to the front door and knocked on it a couple of times and glanced around, No answer. Knocked a bit more and checked no one was watching me looking like a fool. I checked my watch, a little past 10am. Thinking that either Joey or Audrey would be home soon, I sat down with my back against the door. I don't think I have ever played so much Snake on my cell phone before. I had started to get strange looks from passing students and it wasn't long before I was getting impatient. I had after all been sat there half an hour. Pretty soon the guy in the next dorm stuck his head out the door asking if I was Audrey's boyfriend and then telling me she'd headed out early this morning mentioning something about going to the library.
As odd as that seemed I took the guy's comment and headed off down there. Couldn't help but think I was going to be going on a wild goose chase.
I recognised some of Audrey's friends in the library from when we'd gone out a couple of times with them. Surprisingly Audrey had been here but had just left. They said she was heading home but looked worried when saying. Thanking them I left and drove home for a bit. Just in case she showed up there. After waiting a couple of hours at home I left Jack with a order of to calling me if he hears anything or if she comes around and headed back to the girl's dorm.
It was on the drive back to the college campus when I saw her. I was just driving past a cinema that isn't too far away from Worthington when I saw her in the arms of another guy. A guy who I had never seen before. Unable to think I just carried on driving to the campus. She would have to turn up there eventually surely.
I pressed my head against the door in a lame attempt of knocking. I picked my tired head up just in time of Joey opening the door. Her eyes tell me everything and I instantly forget my worries. She closes the door behind me and then came to sit on her bed with me, curling up in my arms. She started shaking and I knew she was crying. I stroked her head comfortingly; there were no words.
Everything with Joey always feels right. It's like pieces of a jigsaw puzzle that fit together perfectly. But when she lent up and kissed me and for that moment when I kissed her back, something didn't feel right. Like we weren't meant to be doing this now.
As bad as it seemed I pushed away from her, apologising as much as I could and rushed home. And here I lie on my bed wondering about the day's events.
