Dear Diary...

Chapter 10

   I wake up to a cold empty spot to my right. I feel slightly disappointed that I didn't wake up to the same ocean eyes I fell asleep to. I stand and start to get dressed in the clothes I stripped off last night. As I get dressed I can hear chatter that sounds like whisper yelling coming from the living room.

   As I walk to out, I find Landon's roommates, Shaggy, and Jacob, having a very quiet yelling match in the living room. I clear my throat and the both stop to look at me. Instantly I know something is wrong when both of their eyes fill with sadness and a hint of fear.

   "What's up guys?...where's Landon?" I ask looking around the room once again to see if I can spot him.

   "Come sit down." Shaggy says patting the spot beside him before standing and grabbing me a cup of coffee. I do as he says and sit waiting for them to tell me what is going on.

   "Landon was arrested walking to the coffee shop about an hour ago." Jacob says carefully searching my face for a reaction as Shaggy brings me my coffee.

   Not knowing what to say I fight back tears but not before one slips from my eye. Why am I so sad? I've only known him for a short while and we've only gone on three dates. I don't understand why I am so attached to him. I hardly know him. Get yourself together Ash. You don't cry in-front of anyone.

   "I need to go back to my dorm." I say wiping my face clean before standing and collecting my things.

   "I'll walk you over there. You shouldn't walk alone." Jacob says slipping on his shoes before grabbing his phone. Showing I clearly didn't have a choice in the matter, I just nod.

"Jacob you have to meet with Adrianna anyways. You promised her a date today and I don't wanna deal with that crazy bitch so I can walk her." Shaggy protests. I feel the only reason he did was so he can see Lux and not because he truly cares of my well being.

"Nah man it's fine. If she stops by just tell her I'm not here and I'll see her in a bit." Before Shaggy can protest anymore we walk out the door and head out onto campus.

"You really don't have to walk with me I know how to get there and you have a date." I say trying to reassure this basically stranger that I'll be ok

"Nah it's ok. She'll get over it. Landon cares about you a lot and if he found out I let you walk alone I'd be a dead man." He says with a slight smile.

Why did he want to help me? I don't even know him. He'll I don't even really know Landon.

After a quiet walk we finally make it to the girls dorms. I thought he would just drop me off at the front but to my surprise he continues to walk with me through the common area.

As we make it to the hallway before mine, I spot Kaitlin. She's standing in the hallway with her hands crossed over her chest looking like she's waiting for someone. When I see her I almost want to comfort her with the flash backs of everything Landon told me the night before.

Jacob quickly tries to pull me away toward my dorm but not fast enough when Kaitlin spots us.

"YOU DUMB BITCH I'LL BEAT YOUR ASS." I hear the familiar voice screech. I turn around to see her stomping toward me.

"What the fuck are you talking about Kaitlin?" I ask confused at what I could have possibly done. She shoves me right after I finish my sentence. I roll my eyes and try to walk past her.

She shoves me once again and I lost it. I turn around and wrap her blonde locks around my wrist before repeatedly punching her in the back of the head. Everything went black. I don't remember a thing until someone grabbed me from behind and pulled me off of her.
