Rooming with the Mayor's Son

Eight.

I couldn't sleep very well.

What was wrong with him? Was he okay? I wish we were close- yet I hate that I have that wish since he is so...so...interesting.

He is interesting, I admit. Sometimes its a good thing. Times like these aren't my favorite. I hate it when people are closed off from me. Damon especially. I'm not sure why I feel so offended when he closes off against me, but I do. We aren't friends or anything so I'm not sure why it hurts so much when he does the things he does to me.

When I woke up, Damon was resting peacefully with crumpled tissues decorating his hair and pillow. I wish I could find a way to talk to him and some how make him feel better. Too bad that I don't have to ability to be nice to him and him appreciating it. (A/N- Dang, something is going on with me. The chapter is so deep.) I took a shower before heading to Allison's dorm.

I didn't expect to be greeted by Aubrey, but I said 'Good morning' anyway. "What happened to your hair?"

She groaned before yawning, "I...stayed...up all night finishing a paper for science." I nodded before I remembered my purpose.

"Is Allison in here?"

"No, she roomed with Brady, remember?" I thanked her for the information before heading to the room next to mine that held the couple.

I knocked once and a shirtless Brady opens the door. "Uh...hi, is Allison in there? I need to talk to her."

He smiled and motioned me to come inside. What I saw was a surprise. It was Allison in her bed- tangled in her sheets. Naked. I had no words and I looked at Brady in suspicion. He put his hands up and shook his head. "Nope, not me. We didn't do anything. If we did, you would have heard her screams and moans of my name from-"

"Ew, ew, ew. TMI, Brady. Too much information. Seriously. Do not need to know that," he laughed before going into the closet and putting on a shirt. He stepped out while ruffling his hair. I walked over to Ali's limp body and I noticed she had a glob of drool coming from the corner of her mouth. She looked like Anna from Frozen when she's in bed before Elsa's coronation. I accidentally laughed out loud and it stirred her to be half awake- half asleep.

I leaned down and whispered in her ear, "Hey there, Sleeping booty," she woke up suddenly and accidentally -maybe purposefully- smacked me in the face. I stumbled back, holding my nose and she sprung up in bed.

"Uh, um- we didn't um...we didn't do anything I swear." Her face was as red as a tomato and it made me laugh. I helped her get to the bathroom without any sheet revealing her body and watched Brady watch Allison with more lust than I have for Evan Peters. That's a lot.

She took a quick shower and I got her some clothes. I got her a white lace crop-top along with some ripped jeans. She got herself some converse and we headed to the dining hall. I ate a bowl of Frosted Mini Wheat and she just had a bagel. I decided to break the silence by asking a question that I've had since I saw her. "So," she looked up at me with an oh-shit-she's-gonna-ask face. "Why were you naked in bed this morning?"

Her face turned red and she swallowed whatever she had left of the bagel bite in her mouth. She faked a cough before gulping down some water from her water bottle. "Um," she cleared her throat- making me raise my eyebrow. "Well," she fiddled with her hands in her lap as she avoided my gaze. "I...may have gotten...drunk last night with uh...with Aubrey-"

"Jesus, Allison!" I couldn't help it, it slipped out. "I can not believe you right now. You and Aub- wait a second. Aubrey told me this morning she did a paper for science all last night," her eyes widened and she gulped. "Tell me the truth or I will rip it out of you." I narrowed my eyes at her and leaned forward.

"Ugh, fine. I got drunk with Brady," she squeezed her eyes shut and sighed. "Sorry I didn't tell you," I sighed at her and said it was okay and asked if she was done with her bagel.

She said no, but I still took it anyway. I shoved it in my mouth and chewed like there was no tomorrow. "What's wrong with you? You took my food...Without permission!" I shook my head.

"Stress eating. We need to go to class anyway," I grabbed my backpack and headed towards photography.

"Raven! Slow down!" I kept walking the same pace as Allison called to me. We were walking back to the dorms when I got a text from Damon saying that my stuff is 'ready to be picked up'. "Raven, what's your problem? Why are we going so fast?"

"Allison, I'm sorry that I'm going fast, but I don't want my shit being stolen." I started to run as I stepped inside the building. I got to the room and lo and behold: my shit was outside the door.

I barged into the room only to hear Damon in the shower. I quietly went inside and grabbed the towel. I hung it over the curtain. "What the fu-"

I threw the curtain open and didn't tear my eyes from his -afraid of my reaction if I were to see the front of his nude body. The only thing I could see was the masterpiece once more.

That's not why I'm here. "What the hell are you doing!" He quickly wrapped the towel around his waist while I shot daggers at him. I grabbed his ear only to hear his yelling. "What the hell, woman! Let go, you're like a -ow- mom!"

I threw him by his ear to the front door towards my stuff. "Okay okay, I'm sorry. I won't do it again. Just don't squeeze my ear."

"Wow, the big tough Damon Taylor is begging for mercy- I think I like that," I smiled and put my hands on my hips.

He smirked before shaking his head as he entered the bathroom. "Don't get used to it, sweet cheeks." I rolled my eyes and started getting my stuff from outside.

He got back in the shower and Allison came to the room with wide eyes. "So, this is what he did?" I nodded and she started to help me.

While Allison and I were talking, I got a sudden feeling of sadness. I tried so hard to hide it, but Ali knew something was wrong. "And then Brady tried to catch the glass, but he made a huge mess and- Raven," she looked at me with concern. "Are you okay?"

"Honestly, I don't know." I sat there and tried to think of people so maybe I'd find the strongest sense of worry. Ronnie. "Hold on a second," I went to my now charged laptop and opened my email. "Ronnie emailed me the other night."

"What did he say?" I shook my head in response and pulled up the email. The subject was 'Doctor's Appointment' and I went a little tense.

Raven, sweet Raven.
I recently went to the doctors with interesting symptoms. They are unsure of what I could be sick with. I have a doctor's appointment in a week and I want you to come with me.
I love you, see you later.

Love,
Ronnie

My body stiffened and sweat trickled down my head. I hope Ronnie is okay.
