The Next Morning

Connie's POV

I rolled over from my peaceful slumber to see the clock that read 5 am...my flight was leaving in 2 hours. Just as I began to focus a terrible pain pounded on my head.

"How much did I drink last night?" I asked myself rubbing my head. I looked around a little confused as last night was a little blurry. This wasn't my dorm room, I thought blinking a little. This place was a dump, all the garbage everywhere. I moved a bit and felt someone next to me. I leaned over my shoulder and found Guy Germaine sleeping peaceful with his arms wrapped around me.

"Oh..."I said completely shocking. Tears were beginning to brim in my eyes. Last night I remembered making love to Guy but I thought it was a dream. I lifted the blanket a little and gasped.

"It wasn't a dream?" I said to myself running over what I could remember of the night before. I looked at Guy and touched his face. He still loved me, I thought as a tear rolled down my cheek.

FLASHBACK

Guy Germaine was standing at the end of the hall when I entered the senior dorm rooms on monday morning, classes started that thursday. Saturday night I had went home to my parents waiting up for me. Apparently, they said a friend of theirs had seen me out with Guy and they exploded when they saw the ring. I had told them I didn't care what they said I was marrying Guy, if I hadn't already messed things up with him already. They threatened to the call the police on him, which they had nothing against him so I didn't understand what they were talking about. Then I moved into the dorms that sunday to start school again. I had just come back from my parents to get the rest of my stuff, they were still yelling and said if I went through with it, they would disown me. I was under some much stress as it was I dreaded seeing Guy. The fact that they would disown me didn't bother me, I was more worried about what they would do to Guy.

He saw me coming and ended his conversation with Banks.

"Connie, I'm so sorry." Guy started,

"Guy, You didn't do anything." I said walking into my dorm, Julie wasn't there and Guy followed me in.

"Well, are we okay?" He asked standing the middle of the room.

"Yeah why wouldn't we be?" I asked looking away from him and pretending to look for something on my desk.

"Well, you won't even look at me." He said stepping closer to me and leaned in to kiss me. Things got a little more intense and we ended up on the bed kissing and taking off clothes. I felt trapped, like Guy was controlling me now instead of my parents, I didn't have any control over my life and my world was spinning out of control. I pushed Guy off of me and he landed on the floor.

"Connie, what's wrong!" He said getting up off the floor.

"I can't do this! You just keep pressuring me!" I said picking up my shirt and holding it to my chest.

"Look, I'm sorry. I don't mean to..."

"God, I already have a set of parents trying to control me!" I yelled

"Is that what you think, I'm trying to control you!"

"No, I just can't..." I tried to explain.

"I get it...The thought of being with me the rest of your life scares you..." Guy started

"Well,...Guy, it's just all happening so fast." I started

"Or is it the thought of being with a poor guy for the rest of your life that scares you..."

"GUY!" I yelled shocked, I had never thought of him that way.

"Maybe having to do the laundry, cook dinner, shop at Walmart!" He yelled

"Guy, stop! You know that's not it."

"No, because you know what, I love you, even though you can be a spoiled witch sometimes!" Guy yelled, I slapped him across the face. He stopped and looked away.

"You're not the same girl I fell in love with and you know what? I'm gonna make something of myself, I'm gonna play for the pros and I'm gonna have a lot of money and you, honey, are gonna marry some stuffed shirt that you're parents like and live a long dull life!" He yelled. I was crying by then and threw his ring back at him.

"Get out, Germaine! I don't want to see you again." I said as he turned and walked out slamming the door. I shunk into the corner and cried, I love him so much.

END FLASHBACK

I laid there in his embrace for a few minutes holding him as close as possible. I never thought we'd get back together after that. He responded and wrapped his arms tighter around me. This couldn't have happened at a worse time I thought, I was set to go to NYC, I was suppost to start over, no parents, no Ducks, no nothing to remind me of Minnesota. Guy wanted to play for the pros so bad, I couldn't ask him to come with me, it just wasn't fair. Why did this have to happen now? I knew he would if I asked but I couldn't do that. I couldn't let him give up his dream for me. But on the other hand I couldn't not go I had planned everything out for New York, I was finally going to get out on my own. Last night changed everything I thought as I rubbed my head.We were still so much in love, we could still get married, our parents couldn't stop us now, I thought. For a moment it felt like everything might work out. Then I realized I didn't know how Guy felt, he had said he loved me last night and he wasn't drunk but did he still want to marry me? Did he still think I was a spoil witch? I needed to leave before he woke up. Granted I knew it was a cowardly thing to do but I didn't know what to do or say when he woke up.

Guy's POV

I woke up as the alarm rang out in my ear. I knocked the alarm off it's stand and looked at the ceiling. Then I remembered the night before and looked around.

"Connie?" I asked looking around. I grabbed my boxers and stood up in the middle of the room. It was empty where was she? I quickly threw on a pair of pants and ran out of my dorm, hoping she'd just went back to her room. I knocking on Connie's dorm room door and Julie opened the door a little groggy.

"Guy, What do you want it's 6am."

"Is Connie here?" I asked looking inside, it was empty.

"She left maybe a half hour ago..."Julie said with a yawn.

"Oh..."I said beginning to walk away. I lost her again, I thought, feeling defeated.

"Guy..." Julie said. I turned, "She said to tell you she loved you...If you came by." She said sympathically.

"Thanks.." I said turning and walking into my room. I sat down on the bed and rubbed my head. Should I go after her or didn't she want to be with me?

FLASHBACK

I had a major blow out with Connie that morning and ended up saying some stuff I probably shouldn't have said. She'd given me back my ring and I sat there staring at it. I worked from the end of school in June until that last week in August to buy that ring for her, she was everything, she was my life, how was I suppost to live without her? I sat down on the roof of the dorms to think and looked up at the stars, they would always be the same no matter what was going on in my life. I was going to prove to Connie and her rich stuck up parents that I was the one or her, I was going to work for that scholarship the school was giving to one athelete. I needed it, I would get it.

END FLASHBACK

The only reason I was going to California was to prove that I'm worth something to Connie and that she's my everything, but I had her and I lost her again. She obviously had made up her mind about me and I had to go and prove something to myself now.
