Starlight Roomates

Chapter thirteen

POV: Amelia

I was sitting on the couch eating a bag of chips. Rose had just taken Cosmo outside the dorm to talk about something, Rose is my bestfriend so I couldn't care less.

"Amelia!" Rose shouted barging open the door and I choked on my chip. "Listen, that Cosmo is up to NO GOOD. He was so nervous when I was talking to him - I definetly think hes up to something."

"What exactly is he up to?" I asked popping a chip into my mouth.

"I don't know for sure but I bet it has something to do with being nice to you." She explained.

"What- what do you mean?" I asked.

"Isn't it strange? Just a few weeks ago this guy hates you and then suddenly BOOM he's treating you like the best person in the world!"

"Okay, best person in the world overexaggerated."

"Dosen't matter, its too sudden. If hes sure he dosen't like you then why was he so nervous talking about you?"

"You were talking about me?" I asked and put the chip bag down.

"I'm not trying to talk behind your back I promise. Just do me a favour and avoid Cosmo-"

"Why should I avoid him? Rose, there has been so much beef between us and now hes over it and now we treat each other better... are you telling me to ignore that!?" I yelled furious.

"Yes!" She yelled back. "Why do you like him or something?!"

"What- No! I'm just getting a friend."

"So am I not your friend too?"

"Yes you are! But if you keep arguing with me maybe not!" I shouted.

There was a silence and Rose looked at me suprised and hurt. I was angry so I didn't care when tears rolled down her face. She ran into my room, picked up her stuff and left just like that. I stood in the living room, I was glad she left but I felt more lonely now. It seems as when I'm upset I don't recognize other peoples' feelings. I started thinking, realization shocking me of what I've done and guilt rushing over me. I sank to the floor and started crying. I must have fallen asleep after that because I couldn't remember a thing.

When I woke up, I was on the floor and someone was sitting right infront of me with there legs crossed. I looked closer at the person and I realize it was Cosmo looking at me with his kind face.

"Oh, your awake." He laughed softly and rubbed my head. I looked up at him my vision blurry. "Were you crying again?" He asked me.

I nodded and sat up. My eyes were still tired and my head felt heavy. I felt like dropping back down and sleeping but I tried not to. Cosmo put his hand on my shoulder and I turned to him. My head when heavy for a second and I collapsed on the ground, or what I thought. I opened my eyes and I was leaning on Cosmo. He was looking down at me concerned. When my brain was finally awake, I realized that I was sitting on his lap and leaning on his shoulder with his arms holding me up.

"Amelia?" Cosmo asked. Our faces werent very close but it was enough to make me blush.

"Are you okay?" He asked softly. "Why were you crying?"

When asked me that, there was a big lump in my throat and I had the urge to start crying again. I tried to talk, but I couldn't say anything without sobbing.

I buried my face in my shoulder and explained what had happend. I was obviously crying, I couldn't help it.

"Why so I always push away the people that care about me the most...?" I asked in a weak voice.

"I'm not really sure what to say but..." Cosmo started. "When you least expect it, It'll come to you. Even if theres nobody by your side there will be someone silently cheering you on." He said kindly and smiled at me.

I sat up and looked at him, he then wipped away my tear with his thumb and gave me the kindest eyes I've ever seen him give as if he was the one.

Why did I do that to him?

"We should eat dinner now." Cosmo said
"Yeah." I replied. He helped me get up and I decided to help him in the kitchen. I planned to apologize to Rose tomorrow.

Just then I remember my meeting with Zachary.

"Think about it, and hopefully you can come visit"

I'll tell Cosmo about him when the time is right. Right now I just want to be having a good time.
