...

2 Weeks later.

...

Fuck.

I think Hardin is rubbing off on me a little too much, I haven't cursed this much in my whole entire life. I guess that's what happens when you spend every second of every day with the person you most love, and I don't even fucking care.

His dirty mouth is what I love most about him, well his mouth in general.

...

This week he's been acting so funny, he's been going on secret trips where he leaves for a few hours and then comes back. He's been on the phone but when I walk in he immediately hangs up, I don't know what he's up to but I can only hope that our love is enough to keep him faithful. I don't like to think that he's cheating or doing something bad but there's this little piece of doubt in me that I can't get rid of.

I brought it up with him but he just brushed it off, he told me it was stuff dealing with his book. I really hope he doesn't think I'm that stupid, we work in the same damn building so I would know if it was about his book.

I try not to overthink and just trust him but it's hard, I just love him so much. It's hard to think about the person you love most betraying you, I know he wouldn't. Not after everything we have done, not after every kiss, touch, promise, I love you...............he wouldn't................not after I gave myself to him.............not after all the intimate moments we've shared.

Be wouldn't hurt me.

...

I'm sitting in class doodling in my notebook, I can't pay attention to anything. I woke up alone with morning.............I was naked and alone in bed..........this was the worst feeling in the world........I don't know why but I've never felt so used.

I called him and he answered, he was out of breath and could only talk for a few minutes. He said he was busy with a meeting for his book.........the office is close today.

I'm trying not to drive my myself insane with a million scenarios but it's hard.

"Tessa.................Tessa."

I look up and see Kim nudging my arm.

"What?"

"The teacher." Kim whispers.

I quickly look up and see our teacher shooting daggers at me.

"I'm sorry Mrs...........I wasn't paying attention."

"Doesn't surprise me Miss. Young, seems like you've been pretty distracted lately. Maybe you should spend less time in your bed with that roommate of yours and more time in the library."

My mouth falls open, did she really just fucking say that!

Everyone whispers under their breath, I hear my name in quiet murmurs. I look over and see Kim has the same expression as me.

"Excuse me?" I mange to say.

"Please Miss. Young, don't make this a big deal."

I stand to my feet.

"A BIG DEAL! You just accused me of........."

"Of what? Your roommate? Please we all know about you and Mr. Scott, thin walls. Word gets around."

This isn't happening.

"Tessa.........wake up."

I lightly jump and open my eyes, I look over at Kim.
