Jealous - Lloyrumi pt. 2

Rumi's POV:

"Hey, she just left. Do you wanna talk?" I lift my head up to see Nya standing at the door. I nod. I'm currently curled up on my bed with black lines streaming down my face. She comes and sits next to me, singing an arm around my shoulder and gives me a side-hug. I didn't really wanna speak but I knew I would have to eventually.

"You still like him, don't you?"

I take in a shaky deep breath. I open my mouth to speak but all that comes out is a sob. Between my sobs and sniffles I manage to squeak out a, "Yeah." Nya looks at me sympathetically. "It seems like someone is a little bit jealous..." I figure it's only fair for me to talk, after all, she did come in here to comfort me. "I really thought I was over him. Even if I wasn't, I'd never react like this! I-I just... I just don't know why I got so freaked out. Just seeing any other girl with him, holding his hand, playing with his hair... it drove me crazy." I say, hugging my knees.

Nya speaks up, "You know you can't be mad at Liv for any of this right?" I sigh. She's right. Deep down I know I'm not mad at her, or anyone for that matter just... sad. "I'm not mad at Liv. I-I'm not mad at anyone. She was really nice. In a way she kinda warned me..." Nya's expression changes.

"Wait- what do you mean?" I just shrug. It wasn't a big deal to me. "She told me how Lloyd used to like me, and that she can see how much I like him, and I wasn't aware of that at the time. She then proceeded to tell me that Lloyd will never like me because she's with him now. And yeah." I say as Nya pulls out her 'NUPOC'- translating to 'Nya's Ultimate Package Of Comfort'. I know. She hands me a tissue and says, "In my opinion, that was pretty bitchy..." I look up at her with astonishment. Didn't expect that. "She basically pointed out feelings that you weren't even aware of before smashing to the ground and shattering them! Classic insecure bitch in my opinion. Don't tell Lloyd I said that though..." she chuckles at that last bit while pulling out a chocolate cupcake from her NUPOC, being mindful to not choose cherry, although it's my favourite flavour.

Because cherry was Lloyd's favourite too...

"Don't worry, I don't think you will have to worry about me telling Lloyd anything..." I say. "It'll probably be easier to avoid him and my feelings all together. Then when I do stop liking him, we'll be good again." 

"Rumi, I don't think that's- "
"I just want him to be happy." I interrupt her, my voice breaking. Nya sighs before turning to me once again. "Rumi- it wasn't Liv that made you upset was it?"

I glue my eyes to the floor. I blink back tears because if I let any more out Nya will probably get annoyed and call me an emotional mess. "H-He was so h-happy. She was with him and he was so so happy. I've never seen him that happy Nya! And Lloyd is a pretty happy guy..." I laugh bitterly. I get up from the bed to wash my face and redo my makeup.

"Let's not talk about it right now."

Lloyd's POV:

"Thanks again Liv." I say through my phone. "No problem Lloyd, she's a keeper." I smile thinking of Rumi. Now that Liv's gone, I should probably go talk to her.

I stroll along the halls and find myself in front of her room. I quickly knock on the door and Nya answers just as quickly. "Oh er- hey Lloyd! What's up?" She says glancing behind her after every other word. "You okay?" I ask her. She's hiding something, for sure. "I'm not the one you should be asking." She mutters. Before I get a chance to ask her what she means, Harumi walks up to the door.
