"Here's your stupid pill," I told Luca, opening his door and slamming it shut.
I was angry- but I couldn't figure out why. Maybe it was the fact that I'm started to realize, if he actually loved me like he says he does, then he wouldn't do all of this. He wouldn't have sex with other girls, he wouldn't almost get them pregnant.
And the girl was still in his dorm, still crying a little bit while I gave her my sweater. I took the pill to her, crouching down and grabbing the water bottle Luca handed to me. "Hey, why we take this?" I tried to comfort her the best I could- I felt awful.
She gently took the box out of my hand, and started to open it. "I'm sorry," her voice was so soft I barely heard her, but I definitely did. "I had no idea you two were together and I- I told him we should use a condom."
My anger only started to rise. "It's not your fault, and we aren't together, babe." I rubbed her knee soothingly, watching her take the pill with a sigh of relief afterwards.
"I should go," she stood up, and I let her walk out of the door with my hoodie covering her, because I wanted her to walk home safe. But I still stood at the door and waited for her to at least get out of my sight before I finally closed the door.
Luca tried to pull me in by my waist, but I stopped him and turned around harshly. "What is wrong with you?"
"What?" He narrowed his eyebrows, looking at me with a confused expression.
My fists balled up, "She told you to use a condom."
He sighed an irritated breath, "It feels better without one. And it's not like you would know, Estrella. So shut up."
Hearing him talk to me like that, hurt my feelings. He'd always been gentle with me, which is why we got along so well in the first place. But now looking at him, he was looking like he was about to explode on me.
When suddenly, his eyebrows narrowed, and he gripped my jaw, pushing it to the side, turning my head harshly and looking directly down on my neck. When he let go of my jaw, his anger looked like it had only raised.
"Is that a hickey?"
Oh fuck.
Think, Estrella. Think. "It's none of your business." Was the only response I could give, my lower lip already starting to tremble.
