Roommates, with nightmares

14

Tom walks into my apartment and I follow. Once I see Tyler sitting on the couch, with his feet propped up on the coffee table, I gulp.

Tom freezes. He slowly turns his head to me. "Is that Tyler Colton?" He asks.

I slowly nod. He turns back to Tyler. At first he doesn't do anything. Then he runs towards Tyler and jumps on him. Tyler jumps over the back of the couch and falls behind it with an "ump!"

He quickly stands and looks over at Tom, who is ready for another punch. I run over there and jump onto the couch, in between them. "stop!" I yelled. They both let out a faint growl before Tom sat on the couch and Tyler sat on the opposite end. I sat down in the middle.

"Why is he here?!" Tom screamed, motioning to Tyler. I but my lip before answering with "He's my roommate."

Tom has the angriest face. "Are you serous?! Do you even remember what he did in high school?!"

"Yes Tom, I remember. It's not like I like having so share and apartment with him. Or like him." I said. Tyler leaned forward so he was in better view. "You guys talk about me like I'm Not here." He said.

"That's because we don't like you, and we don't care." Tom said. I shake my head. "Stop it, Tom. You don't HAVE to be rude." I tell him.

"But this is Tyler here!"

"There's more to it than you think."

"Like what Maxine?!"

"It's none of your business." I tell him calmly. His face changes to a whole different emotion. "y-you like him, don't you?"

Honestly, I don't know.

"Hell no!" I say, "we are just friends Tom, don't get the wrong idea."

He sighed and shook his head. "this is ridiculous. Your sticking up for him when he did all that to you?"

"You can't hold a grudge forever Tom. You know that's exactly what is going on with uncle sam." I told him.

"Don't bring him up. Sam is not in this, and he never was. This is between me and you."

I stood up straight. "Tom! Sam did exactly what your doing! Don't you remember when he blamed mom or dads death?! He still, to this day, is holding a grudge over her head!" I yelled. He now stood. Which was followed by Tyler doing the same. Staying near me at all Times.

Sometimes I wish he'd get off my back for a while and stop acting like a fucking body guard. "Then it's a good thing we don't see mom, isn't it?! That she was never here for us! She left me and dad To take care of you! She left a year after you were born! I was only three! Me and dad were on our owns! And so were you! Mom doesn't love us, Maxine!"

"You don't think I know that?! She hates us! But she loved dad! Do stop binging up the past, and live for today! People can change Tom!" I scream. Im clenching my fists so hard, to where my nails are digging into my palms. But right now, I couldn't care less.

He shakes his head and turns away. "Call me when you get your head together, max." Then walking out the door, leaving me stand there, speechless. I run after him but he's already in the car and backing out of the driveway.

I grip my hair and shake my head, before turning around and stomping inside. Slamming the door shut. It doesn't take two seconds for Tyler to come over there and say "Are you okay, princess?"

"Don't call me princess!" I yelled. Either shock or hurt, struck his face. To be honest though, I really don't care. "but.....i always call you princess."

"well you use to call me bitch or whore! This is your fault! If you hadn't been so fucking nice to me, then I wouldn't have defended you and gotten into a fight with my brother!" I blamed him, as I stomped into the kitchen. I turned off the coffee thing and just dumped it down the sink, not really in the mood for coffee anymore.

"Don't blame me, Maxy. I was just trying to make up for what I did to you." He said. I shook my head. "You mean like how you are protective over me?" I asked harshly.

He takes a while before answering. I get inpatient and cross my arms over my chest, while throwing a rude glare on my face. "Yes. Exactly that. I didn't want to tell you that I was protective over you because you'd either get creeped out or mad."

"I am mad, Tyler! Im fucking pissed! You can't just walk back into my life and try to protect me like what you did in high school never happened!" I yelled at him.

He sighed and looked at the ground. "I know, max. I was just hoping-"

"Hoping that we could be friends?!" I interrupt. He nods slowly. "Unless you can convince Tom that you've changed and him to talk to me, then you just need to keep away your distance."

An with that, I walk outside and into my truck.

I sure got lucky that I just happened to have my phone with me. So I texted her and told her I'd be at her house in five minutes.

I can't believe Tom. He acted like such an ass, more than likely from uncle sam. Long story short, Uncle Sam blamed my dad for mom killing herself. People say it as an accident, but the whole family knows she and dad were fighting and she had said she was going to kill herself multiple times. I don't know what I believe anymore.

I'm mad for sure. Pretty much at Tom and Tyler. Tom for being such a dick. and Tyler for being such a nice one.

I'm so messed up.

A messed up person, with a messed up life. Makes so much since now, doesn't it?

I pull up into Jules driveway and quickly get out. She didn't answer my texts, which is odd because she usually does.

I walk towards her apartment. It's pretty small and is painted with brown. I go to her white door and knock on it. It takes a few minute for her to come to it, but when she does, she has a sheet wrapped around her body. Which is naked.

My mouth drops.

Her lips are swelled with smushed red lip stick and her hair is everywhere. If she had cloths on, you'd think she just had a make out session. "You-you had a hook up last night, didn't you?" I asked. She slightly blushed and nodded.

"With who?"

Just then, a familiar brunette guy walks up behind her with a towel around his bottom area. He wraps his arm around Jules waist and glares at me. "Sup greenie?"

Oh

My

Fucking

Gosh.

His hair was a wreck just as much as jules was. his lips were covered in lips stick and as was his chest and neck. Jules actually hooked up with carter. Wow. Just....Wow. You know what, I'm just gonna leave them alone to finish whatever they were doing. this is just more drama to be stirred up.

"Um....... good. and it seems as if its the same with you two." I say. Carter smiles and digs his neck into Jules neck, kissing it softly. Jules smiles and shakes her head at me. "And in just gonna go." I said starting to turn around. "No max, this guy can wait. I'll-" "No Jules, you can do whatever, I'll talk to you later. Have fun."

"Oh we will!" Carter yelled back before shutting the door. I shook my head and walked to my truck.

My friends have weird addictions.
