"I have a girlfriend" Joe said. "Congratulations jj" Amari said giving him a hug. "My man got a girl. Okay okay" javarious said. I felt my little heart just break in a way. He really played me and didn't tell me he had a girlfriend? Wow. "Dude y'all hungry. Cause I want to go get some food" javarious said. "Sure I'll come with you" amari said. "We'll be back kids" javarious said before I slapped his arm as he walked out the door. Then Joe spoke. "Look I can explain-" "explain what? That you fucken played me?! That you fucked me, kissed me, told me that you loved me just for you to say you had a girlfriend?! Are you serious Joseph! Are you fucken serious right now?!" I cried. "Look I know but listen-" "No you chances are over. I was actually giving you a chance. So whatever chance we had at being friends or anything is done" I said before going out to the balcony to cry my eyes out. I sat down and I cried. I felt my ribs just hurt as I felt so played. What did I expect? He's the star quarterback of LSU and a future NFL star. I'm so stupid. I cried for what felt like hours. I then got up and went to our shared closet and took all of my stuff into the guest room. I then went into the room to get my things from my bed. I took the dirty sheets off the bed and put clean ones. "What are you doing?" Joe asked. "I need privacy especially now more that ever" I said trying not to cry again. He huffed and walked away. I felt a couple of tears roll down my cheek so I closed the door and slid down as I cried once again. I really thought we could have something. I'm so dumb. Really really dumb. I cried for what felt like hours. I then finally got up and laid on the bed. I fell asleep crying

Next week
"I'm so glad we graduate next week. I can't wait to leave and go back home" I said. "Girl me too" Dallas said. Joe as usual still sat behind me. It hasn't been awkward it's been frustrating having to see him every. Single. Day. Today we actually are going to meet his girlfriend. Nothing against the girl but Joe is a asshole for not telling me he had a girlfriend in the first place before making me feel special. I felt a tap on my shoulder. I turned around and it was Joe. "When we get back to the dorm I need to talk to you" Joe said. I just turned back around and continued doing my work. Finals were finally over and I'm so glad they are. I'm so glad and I can't wait to go back home and never see Joe again. Class was finally over and I got my things. Dallas and I walked together out the class. "I cant wait to go back to Ohio. I really want to get away from-" "from who?" Joe said jumping in the conversation. "Leave" I said. He mushed my head to the side before he walked away. Javarious and Joe declared for the draft. They are expected to got number one and two in the draft. We then walked all the way back to my dorm. "We'll girl I'll see you later so we can look for dresses" Dallas said giving me a hug before I walked in. Joe was sitting in the living room looking down. "Aspen-" "not a word". "Please give me a chance to explain myself" he said. "Nope. Your actions were enough" I said going into my room. I huffed and laid on my bed. I the heard a knock on the door and the boys ran out room. I walked out and saw a really pretty girl. She was standing next to Joe holding his hand. "Guys this is Olivia. Olivia these are my childhood friends javarious, amari, and Aspen"Joe said. She smiled before looking at me. "You didn't tell me a girl was living with you" she said. "I didn't know he was going to live here" I said before Dallas walked in the door. I walked to my room and laid down. Then Dallas walked in. "Whose that girl and why did she give you the up and down look?" She asked. "That's joes girlfriend Olivia" I said. "And I honestly don't know but I know I'm ready to leave this fucken university" I said almost crying.
