A College Lie (A College Tale #2)

Chapter 26 - Crying in the closet, again.. | Olivia

I hear a click coming from the door and then a creak as it opens and a familiar form comes to my rescue.

"Oh my god Olivia, are you okay?" Tyreek's worried voice feels so good to hear. I have just been sitting here crying my eyes out the last half an hour waiting for him to come. No one, and I mean no one, has answered their phones in that time. I even broke down and called Dax but I suspect he has my number blocked so that didn't do shit.

"I'm fine, just h-help me get o-out of here" I say in between sobs. The crying has subsided a bit but I can still feel fresh tears forming in my eyes, just not at the same pace as fifteen minutes ago.

"Did that bitch Macy really do this?"

"No Ty, I locked myself into a closet just for fun" I said sourly but as soon as the words were out of my mouth I regret saying them.

"Sorry, didn't mean it like that" I confess.

"It's cool, I know you didn't" he says with a smile. Tyreek seems to always be in a good mood.

"Hope I didn't interrupt anything important"

"Nah, just a date" he says like it's nothing but I stop him in his tracks.

"You ended a date for this?!" I yell at him, he must be crazy.. and a really good friend.

"Don't worry, he's in the car and no way I would leave you hanging. You obviously needed my help" If I wasn't so down right now I would show my appreciation towards Tyreek in a better way considering he stopped a date to come and help me. Men like that don't grow on trees and you have to be careful with those relationships.

But right now my mind is numb and empty. This night, that was supposed to be the solution to everything, completely backfired in ways I never saw coming.

The actions from Macy hurt the most, how she can be so cold and do that is beyond me but right now all I want to do is get out of here. I will have to deal with her another day.

"Let's get you home now" he says while hugging me to his side and successfully shelters me from all the happy partygoers thanks to his massive length. I happily disappear into his side and let me lead the way to his car.

I should probably find Mariam and Ella and tell them what happened but I don't have it in me right now.

I look down at my toga and see traces of my makeup all over the fabric, probably being a result of me trying desperately to wipe my tears away but alI it probably accomplished was to make me look like a maniac with makeup smeared all over me.

I have never wanted to get out of a set of clothes more than I do right now. I want to remove them and burn it to forever remove this night from my memory.

I am so out of it I didn't even say hello to the guy sitting in the backseat of Tyreeks car, I just sat down in the passenger seat and stayed quiet.

The drive to the dorm is done in silence and before I know it he pulls up outside the main entrance and kills the engine.

"Do you want me to walk you to your door?" he asks, looking concerned for me but I can take it from here. I don't need to be interrupting his night more than I already have so I decline his offer but thank him for the gesture.

I stay by the door and watch as they start the engine and leave the parking lot before I turn for the door. It feels like my feet has frozen to the ground for some reason and if I could, I would camp out here for the night just because I am exhausted and don't have the slightest interest in going to my room and spending the night alone, like a loser.
