Because Of Her.

73 | Impulse decision and PTSD.

"Hey, what are you doing here?" Drake asks abruptly as he sees me walking towards him. I saw Liam going inside the college building few seconds ago and there was a look on his face that screams he is mad.

Did something happen between them?

"I was heading towards Art class when I see you talking with Liam. Something serious?" I ask casually.

"Oh that...nothing. I was just telling him that he can't talk like that, the way he did in cafeteria. It was so rude as if he was interrogating you." He responds and I am having hard time digesting that was what he said.

"Yeah right...well um thanks for backing me up." I smile and decide to leave them for now since I was a little late to arrive here. But I am damn sure that something is going on with them and it's not definitely what he is portraying. It's not normal for them to stand at one place and not having a fist flying around. Or maybe verbal abusing each other.

I walk towards my Art class and surprise to see students gather around with their partners. I look around for Alan and see him talking to someone else. He briefly pays attention to me but doesn't make any move to talk so I ask one girl about what is going on and she tells me the exhibition date is out. We are given next week and I cannot be thankful.

I mean believe me I am bummed and angry that I am robbed of not being part of that exhibition, to be there with my work and being able to feel like I have contributed something but since I am not selected nor going to represent my work what is the point of even attending it. Also it is good that it is on next week since I will be in Florida for Olivia's wedding. Maybe that is why universe hasn't chosen my work for exhibition because if I were to be nominated I would have to present here and obviously had to skip the wedding which I cannot at any cost.

Or maybe the reason why your art is not selected is because you have betrayed your friend and its karma. You ruin her trust and in return your work was ruined.

My subconscious reminds me of my horrendous mistake right when Natalie passes me with a smile that I want to punch because every time I see her giggling about the exhibition all I remember is how she ruined my work with the major help of Liam. Not to mention they had sex.

I throw daggers at her and the more I look at her annoying happy face, the more I think about what Selena told me.

He can be so petty when he wants too, would go through great measures when he wants to mess with someone.

There is no denying in the fact. He did mess with me by ruining my work. Since I heard that statement from Selena all I am seeing is points that are just proving her words. Liam one time messed with Drake grades by teaching him wrong because he said something to him, he ruined my artwork, today again he put me in spotlight because I obviously hit a nerve by saying to not repeat what he did last time during project—and he is also playing with Selena just like she said because obviously he is not going to let her go off the hook easily even if there are feelings.

Deep down he is still not over to what she did but first he wants to remind her repeatedly until in his head he thinks now is enough. For god sakes I saw them in my room, even Julia saw them in Selena's dorm and the frequent visit Selena pays to his apartment. If he isn't paying her attention why would she go?

I remember that time when he told me how he never brought anyone to his apartment but obviously he lied, Selena used to be there but it was luck from Liam's side and not from mine—that we never came face to face in all those times. Otherwise I would've found out about the double timing long ago.

I know Selena, she wouldn't entertain anyone until she is sure what she wants and Liam is all she wants.

When Jason was behind her, she hardly paid his efforts any penny of her thought. It was us who were gushing about them or about him in front of her. She acted as if she was a lesbian until Liam truth came out and we found that she is exact opposite. She didn't entertain Jason because her heart and mind was fixed at Liam. But Liam's wasn't because if it was he wouldn't have messed with me. He would've stayed true just like Selena did even when he is not paying her attention, the one she deserves. I obviously give Liam here a benefit of doubt considering what she has done but sure as hell...the college Selena is a different girl with good heart.
