Elijah was one of the older individuals in our group but he was a cool guy, he was Hispanic and fluent in Spanish but this guy could cook, I don't know how he's single but he has this really deep voice and could confuse people by speaking Spanish. He's very muscular he likes to play guitar, and he has black hair and brown eyes. A good singer too, I met him around the early years of College he was my roommate, and we played Madden a lot or Halo.
Most of the time I just ate what he cooked he never let me cook since he wanted people to taste his food.
I think he was about a Junior or Sophomore when I was a freshman now I'm roughly a Junior in College as well.
So he would be in his Senior Year in College we eventually moved out and got our apartments since I couldn't stand staying in the dorms.
I don't know if he's into women though he never seemed like he was he said he dated girls before but one day I saw him kissing a guy and I could tell how happy the guy made him.
I don't know if he's still together with him but I think one day he told me that he had a crush on Daniel.
I could see why he would Daniel is a good guy and I can tell by the way they talk to each other they're like Blaine and Kurt in a way from Glee.

Elijah was working when he texted me 'Hey bro I was wondering if maybe you wanted to hang out sometime and watch some Breaking Bad?'

I woke and took a shower with Nina we got dressed headed to Denny's fit breakfast and hung out in downtown Idaho Falls, we checked out the mall, and some other stuff the Aquarium, and the Zoo. Once it got near the afternoon we headed back and listened to Slipknot and Stone Sour we took the scenic route back Through Blackfoot, Arco, Craters of the Moon, Karry, Mayfield, and Mountain Home, and finally Boise we stopped at Taco Bell on the way back.

We got a Deluxe Cravings box with Baja Blast oh and she got some extra 7-layered burritos with Diabolo sauce I forgot to reply to Elijah I did after we were eating

'Yeah man that sounds like fun'

Elijah replies 'Cool dude' he wonders if Daniel would want to come too.

Nina was all giddy and I could still see the hickeys on my neck I don't know how I'll explain that to Claire. Speaking of Claire I texted her 'Nina and I are back from Idaho Falls, we're eating Taco Hell'

Claire rolls her eyes she doesn't want to know what happened between them but she replies 'Welcome home say hi to me before you do anything else'

I laugh and reply to her 'Thanks I will'

Nina looks over at me with a smile and gently holds my hand she will not let Claire win she knows that was Claire whom I  was texting, I  always am like that when texting her "Let me guess you're going to fuck Claire now?  And pretend that never happened between us?" She got snarky I did not like it when she got like that

I shake my head "No I'm not going to do that, I'm not some guy that's going to go around and fuck every girl I see. I would not do that we will only talk"

Nina glares "Oh yeah you're to not confess to her and kiss her, take her virginity away as you did mine, oh, and maybe knock her up? I know you probably imagine that"

I scoff "Nina that's not going to happen"

Nina shakes her head "Okay, if it's not kiss me tell me I'm the one you want, and then go back to my place and fuck me"

I did not like how she was getting so heated about this "Nina I wouldn't be against that but. Why do you care what goes on between her and me?"

Nina rolls her eyes "Look, I'm tired of it always being about her, you could have stayed there and god knows what you would have done, but you didn't you went to Idaho Falls with me and went to the concert and we had sex. Theirs no way you feel anything for me. Your moans were not fake I could have recorded us doing it or made a video recording of it and it sent it to her. But keep being like this and you'll lose someone who sees you the way you are compared to some girl who won't admit her feelings to you Claire and you will never happen"

I started to glare at her "Nina you're great and I like you okay, what we had was nice but. You don't need to overreact"

Nina spills her drink on me "I was hoping after that we could make things official, but it seems as long as she's in the picture we're never going to be a thing" She tears up "I gave my virginity to you because I love you but it's obvious you don't feel towards me. Just go to Claire and I don't ever want to speak to you again"

I was feeling bad I hugged her "Look, Nina, that wasn't just me to brag about losing my virginity or anything what we did was special and nice, I do like you, I wouldn't say I'm in love with you but, I'm in love with Claire I don't know if I ever will be with her but I do care about you and maybe one day we could try and be a couple but right now I need to figure things out"

Nina tears up kissing me "Well if you ever change your mind you know where I am, I hope we can do it again, but for now. Figure out what you want"

I had no words I finished eating and she dropped me off giving me another kiss I don't know why she just didn't hug me or kiss my cheek like she usually does I hugged her and got out and changed my shirt heading to Claire's walking inside

Claire hugged me and then saw the hickeys on my neck "Hey welcome back, it looks like you had fun"

I hugged her back "I did"

Claire shakes her head "I'm guessing you and Nina did it?"

I nod "We did"

Claire frowns a bit "How was it?"

I shook my head "It wasn't bad it was a spur of the moment but I didn't feel right It felt like something was missing."

Claire nods "I'm sure you feel like that, I'm not mad you had sex with her I just thought maybe when you lost it would be with someone you truly cared about and loved"

I didn't like Claire's wording of things

I spoke "I wanted to say I was home"

Claire opens the door and says trying not to hold back tears "You should leave I don't know what to say"

I look at her Claire rarely ever did this to me "Look, Claire I"

Claire pushes me out "Just go and fuck her than you already did once you shouldn't talk to me for a while"

I felt my heart shatter into a million pieces I wanted to go inside and cheer her up like I always do but she locked the door leaning against the door putting her legs against her chest and hugging her legs crying she wanted to be the one to lose his virginity to. Because she was saving hers for him but now she feels like it won't be the same anymore "Dammit Jaymin I have you"

I walk to my car and put on Another Life by Motionless in White Driving to Elijah's place. I arrive there a few minutes later walking inside giving him a bro hug high five and knuckles

Elijah looks at me "Yo Brotha what's up? You seem like a tornado hit you or something."

I half smiled and said "I hurt Claire"

Elijah looks at him "What did you do?"

I said as I tried not to cry "I slept with Nina and she found out"

Elijah looks at me "Damn dude I'm sorry, well I'm sure you and Claire will work things out here let's have some beer"

I chuckled a bit "I'm sure we will" I sat down

Elijah walked to the kitchen grabbed two Coors Light and handed me a bottle I didn't like beer that much and I wasn't into alcohol much but I popped the cap and took a sip, Elijah put on Breaking Bad and made a pizza. Daniel was coming over as well

We watched some episodes and ate some of the pizza but there the sound was again it was the thunder and it flashed we all got up and saw it but got to the point where it nearly struck us

"Okay that's scary," I said

Elijah sips his beer, takes his phone out, and snaps a shot of it "Lightning is never purple man. What the hell is this the apocalypse?"

Daniel shook his head and said, "This is not normal we need to figure out what that is."

Other people must of seen it too
