Happier

Chapter 1

[Rhea's POV]

I'm in Carter's apartment and he's never made me more furious. I mean he's been close but this time I am having a hard time containing myself as he continues to scream at me.

"You. Know. You. Cant. Talk. To. Him!" He screams in between throwing things around the apartment. So far he's smashed a lamp, 7 plates and a picture frame with a picture of the two of us in it.

I try to keep my mouth shut and let him finish his... episode. I know that's not the correct term but I have no clue what to call his outbursts of anger anymore. I try, I tried so hard to keep my lips sealed but I can't. He thinks he owns me.. like I'm a dog. He thinks he can choose who I can and can't text. This has gone to far and he needs a reality check only I can give him.

"You have absolutely no right to tell me who the fuck can text me! I was not going to do anything with him and you know that! We're in the same class and he's close with our professor so he helps me with our assignments. So get your jealousy in check and cut the crap Carter because I can't deal with it anymore!" I scream back at him.

Carter freezes with a glass sculpture his mom bought us when we moved in, in his hand ready to throw at the cement wall. He slowly turns around with flaming red cheeks.

"I swear to god Rhea you never know when to shut up do you!" He slams the sculpture on the floor right in front of my bare feet.

"No clearly I don't but then again, I don't need to shut up. You don't have the right to tell me when I can and can't speak never mind who I can and can't text. So ya I'll shut up whenever I damn want to!"

Carter walks past me purposely bumping my shoulder, walking into the bedroom slamming the door so aggressively a painting falls of the wall.

Once I steady myself I walk right into the bedroom and give him a piece of my mind.

"No, you don't get to walk away and sulk like you always do. Grow the fuck up and say whatever you want to say, but first let me get something through your thick skull. You will not tell me who I am allowed talking to no matter how long we've been dating and no matter how insecure you are! Now say what you will, cuss me out if you please but it won't change the fact that I am friends with Kade and it will be staying that way!"

Carter continues to stay silent. I like this wave of power I have gained. I caught him off guard and he now has no come backs.

"You got it?" I ask him with a stern expression in my voice.

"Just shut up Rhea."

"Lose the attitude Carter and get ready, you promised your friends you would go to their last frat party of the semester."

I roll my eyes and storm out with my clothes in hand.

[Carter's POV]

Rhea storms out of the room taking a tiny dress and heels with her and into the washroom. I hear her turn the shower on so I pull out my phone and message my mates in our group chat.

Me: Aye, what's up?

Tristan: Just setting up the party man.

Josh: Getting ready.

Cameron: Drivin' to the pub to get a few early shots in, how bout you mate?

Me: Just coolin' off this woman just bitched me out and locked herself in the washroom.

Josh: Sheesh never thought the day would come where Rhea would finally bitch you out!

Cameron: Tristan you owe me $20
