He turned around looking at me concerned. "Franny are you okay?"

"Ian?"

This was my worst nightmare. What was he doing here?

"Hey, hey, don't cry." I hadn't realized I was tearing up, until he said those words.

As I take a step back away from him, he stares at me shocked, but quickly covers it up. "What are you doing here?"

"I, I found out about the shooting." He mumbled.

"How? How could've you known there was a shooting? It happened a few hours ago." I looked him over, he wasn't telling the truth. "You better tell me the real reason why you're here Ian, because I don't have time to hear your lies."

"My lies?" He scoffed. "Says the person who cheated twice, and kept it to herself, and didn't even think about telling her boyfriend right away!" He growled.

"What was I suppose to say? 'Oh hey Ian, just calling to let you know that a slept with Sean, no biggie'." I snarled back at him. "Why are you even here?! I thought you moved on!"

"How could I move on after the relationship we had? It was the best relationship I had with anyone!" My heart stops. How can he say these things when he exactly told me he would move on. "Even though it was the most amazing relationship I ever had, I'm not here to get you back. I'm here because your parents need you to come back."

I shake my head, trying to clear it. "Come back? What for? I'm not going back there. I like it here."

"Really, do you? After what happened here tonight, do you still seriously want to stay here?"

"Yes I do." He frowned. "And what ever is the reason they want me to come, tell them they can call me. I need sleep, I have classes tomorrow." I tried to push past, but he stops me.

"Tomorrow is Saturday Fran." He smirked a little.

I roughly squirmed out of his grasp. " I don't give a damn." Walking into the dorm, I slammed the door in his face.

"There's no reason to be angry with me, you're the one that cheated." His voice muffled behind the door.

I raise my foot up, kicking the door, causing him to shut up.

Douche.

"So, you and Ian, huh?" Drew asked beside me. "I heard everything last night. I'm sorry."

"No, no, it's fine." I chuckle lightly. "It happens. I just wish we didn't break up, that's all." I sigh, looking over at him. "How are you and Andy doing?"

"Oh, you know, same old stuff. We're doing pretty good. She invited me to dinner with her family, so that's good."

"Good."

"Did she not invite you?" He asked confused.

"She probably forgot, I mean I've already met her sister and her father. We met them on the plane and they drove us to the campus."

"Cool." He sighs annoyingly. "Do you think professor Johnson will ever, stop looking so infuriated all the time?"

"He doesn't look that bad." I examine our professor, looking from his shined shoes to his young face. He looked like one of those models in those suit commercials, but he looked angry all the time. "I guess you're kinda right."

"Kinda right? I'm a hundred percent right." He looks down at his blank notes, before looking back up to me. Just from his look, I could tell he wanted my notes later. I nodded. "I think the guy needs to get laid. It's not good for a young guy like him to not have sex already. Look at him, he looks like he owns a hotel or something."

I giggle, picking up my book bag. "Are you and Andy doing anything today?"

"I don't think so. She's still a little shaken up from what happen last night. We'll probably just stay inside, watch a few movies, make dinner, and...cuddle in bed. Maybe I'll give her a little something, something." He winks.

"Gross Drew." I smacked his arm playfully. I accidentally didn't see where I was going, and was tripped to the floor. "What the heck?"

"What the hell Tommy?!" I hear Drew yell from above me.

"I'm sorry man, I was actually going for you, but she got in the way." I feel a hand resting on my shoulder. "Hey, you okay?"

"Y-yeah, it's alright." I clumsily stand up.

"I'm Tommy by the way. Again sorry. I was trying to trip this sucker here." He roughly patted Drew's back, causing him to stumble forward.

"She doesn't need your sorries." Drew glared at him. "Come on Franny, let's get out of here." He lightly pushed me ahead of him.

"How come I never see him around?"

"Maybe because he's an absolute dick." He grumbled.

"Drew." I said sternly.

"He try to steal Andy from me." He walked faster, not even looking back to make sure if I caught up to him.

"Hey, hey, hey. I'm sorry that I asked." I huffed.

"I just don't like talking about it. Can we drop it now?" I open my mouth to say something back, but he doesn't let me. "Thank you." He walked over to his car. "Am I driving you or are you going to walk?"

"Drive." I quickly power walked up to his car, getting inside. "I'm sorry." I whispered.

He sighs, with a small smile on forming on his lips. "Franny, just forget about it. It's fine. I'm not mad or anything, just surprised that Tommy still has the need to be in me and Andy's lives." He chuckled softly. "Its not your fault, so stop saying sorry. Ok?"

"But Drew-"

"Do I make myself clear?" He grinned.

"Yes Drew, you have." I smirked, staring at the window as we pass houses.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

"Sean? Are you in here?" I step into the dorm. I know I'm not suppose to be in his dorm, but I was bored out of my mind. I needed more friends.

"Franny?"

"Hi Jonathan. Have you seen Sean anywhere?"

He stares at the ceiling, pondering. "No, not really. He's been gone the whole morning and still hasn't gotten back yet. It's four p.m., I'm starting to get worried."

"Well, alright. Call me when you find him."

"Ok. See you later Franny." He waved from his bed.

"Bye John." I step out, closing the door behind me.

Where could he be?

He would either be at the gym or hanging out with one of his buddies.

But he should at least answer my calls. I'll just text him instead.

Nanny Franny: Where r u? :(

A second later, I get a reply.

Sexy Sean: Out. I promise I'll come back

Out? That doesn't help. Maybe Ian's still here, he's probably with him, or.... No, he couldn't have. Why would he? Not without telling me first, he wouldn't.
