My Popular Roommate

Chapter 9

"Don't wanna have breakfast?" I heard a sound that made me do nothing but left my eyes wide open. I stared at Josh in disbelief and he was sitting next to me and removing the cover leaving my body exposed in front of him. I watched him scanning me so I quickly covered myself back and snap "Pervert."

"You wouldn't like me if I'm not." He quickly replies back in no hesitation.

"Who said I like you?" I asked confidently.

"Your eyes, that bite on your lip.." I didn't pay attention to what was said next. Did I really bite my lip? Oh no. I don't do that.

"I didn't." I tried defending myself.

"How about we make a deal?" He asked and I got into unbearable confusion.

"What deal?"

"Well, I pretend that I'm your boyfriend to take my revenge from Nicole and for you to prove that you're not a lesbo." He said like it was the most normal thing. I immediately got on my nerve that I pushed him away till he fell to the ground. I made it out to the bathroom and locked it after me.

"Why are you acting so weird?" He shouted from behind the wall as he almost broke the door with his hands for me to open but I didn't.

"Now open." He insisted on knocking again and again. I chose to ignore him. 10 minutes later, when he stopped knocking, I unlocked the door and moved out. My eyes met his for a second but I had to act so normal so I moved to the closet, grabbed a pair of deep blue jeans and a V-cut black top and moved to the bathroom again but this time to change.

"It is a Saturday." He said as he watched me put my last touch of make up.

"So?"

"Where are you going?" He asked not looking at me but at his mobile.

"Why does it matter?" I replied as I grabbed my purse from the bed next to him. I knew he wasn't even looking at me but just as I walked to the door, my hand was grabbed very roughly that it really left my hand hurt. I widened my eyes at him and searched for some words to say but nothing came.

"What did I do wrong? I really wanna know?" He asked searching for any words in my eyes but I knew how calm I was at this moment so I chose to stay silent. I really don't want to argue.

"Say something." He said.

"Come with me." Was all I said as I placed my hand in his and we walked together out of the dorm.

"Where are we going?" He asked.

"You know what I wanna have fun." I said as We were still walking but not knowing where we're going. He smiled a cocky smile but I can tell he was still confused. "I wanna party." I said.

"Do you feel bad? Got a fever?" He asked as he placed a hand on my forehead probably checking my body temperature. "Then you're probably going insane."

"Maybe." Was all I said. "Let's go." I pulled his hand and we started walking to the school parking. As we reached for his car, he opened for me the passenger's seat so I got in.

The whole ride was so silent. It was awkward too. I was silent because I couldn't find any words to say and he was silent too maybe because of the same reason. I dunno why did I tell him that I wanna party. I dunno what's wrong with me. I'm not acting normal. At all. There's somet....

"Your calmness scares me." He cut my thoughts with the weirdest words I've ever heard.

"What?"

"You're not fine." He stopped the car and stared at me.

"I'm more than fine." I tried to answer with no hesitation.

"Stop being so secretive and mysterious, Sage. I'm really fed up with this attitude of yours." His voice turned from talking to almost shouting. What was this all about? I couldn't understand. Me? Mysterious? Secretive? What the fuck!!

"Move the car." I ordered looking right in his eyes. He ignored me as broke the eye contact between us. "Move it. What is it? What are you trying to do? If you think that you can shout at me once then I can do twice." That was the last thing I said as I left the car and closed the door very hard after me.

"Where are you going?" He asked as he followed me. I tried to ignore him but he still followed me and asked for a talk. A talk? What talk?

"Listen, Josh Willson, you're never gonna enter my life not now not ever so stop trying to change me. This is me and I'm not gonna change whatsoever so please just get away from me." I shouted hard this time. Why is he trying to get into my life?

"You're probably going out of your mind." He said grabbing my hand roughly leading me to the car again. I tried escaping but he was way to hard for me.

"Leave me.. Please. You're hurting me....leave.."

As I sat in the car, I couldn't help it but snap at him "fuck you." He didn't answer me but he was very angry and I had to grin and bear this otherwise I would've end up killing this guy.

All of a sudden, I felt like I want to take him. There. To that place. I felt like he must know why I act like this. Why I try to forget? I want to damn forget that place.

"Can I drive?" I finally managed to say that out loud. My heart is beating like a drum as the thought of me entering that place again crossed my mind and then I remember where all what happened today came from....

"I really need to show you something." I repeated myself. Without another word, he parked and we exchanged places. As I started taking that place's way, tears started to form in my eyes, my whole body was shaking and my hands was shivering so bad.

"Are you okay?" I heard Josh ask but didn't manage to answer him. All I was thinking now is why am I taking myself there? How will I manage to get in again. I parked, took a deep breath and left the car without a word. Scanning it, I tried to strengthen myself by holding up my tears.

"What is this?" Josh asked. I walked into the gate and locked it open. Going inside, every damn thing crossed my mind. I remembered how they were all over me. How I was banged and hurt.
Without saying anything, I gave Josh they key and he opened the door. An electric shiver immediately passed through my whole body. Josh started scanning every bit of the place while I couldn't hold my tears anymore.. And then it hit me like a wrecking ball. I had a horrible past. Liam wouldn't want to be with me after what happened.
