"You what?" Mali asked, and i sighed. "We broke up." I say, and Mali hugs me.
"It's better Mali. I need some time." I say, and Mali nods. "Are you crying?" I ask, and Mali nods again."
"Sweety, don't cry.. it'll be okay." I say, and Mali pulls back. "I just want you and Cal to be happy.. and now i know that you're not.. it hurts." She says, and i nod. "It needs time." I say.
Monday morning is back, and i sigh, not wanting to get out of bed. "Lil.. we need to get up." Mali says, and i groan. "I"m tired." I say, and Mali chuckles. "Come on!' She says, and i finally get up and follow her to the bathroom. We take a quick shower, and then go back to our room and get ready.
I out on leggings and a grey Nirvana sweater, and brush my hair, and apply my make up.
I grab my bag, put my books in it, along with my phone and cookies for me and Mali.
"Ready?" She asks, and i nod.
"Morning.." Calum says, when he walks into class, and Mali gives him a weak smile. "Goodmorning Cal." I say, and i stare out of the window.
Mali takes my hand under the table, and rubs my palm with her thumb, and i turn my head, and smile.
"Thank you." I say.
Mali and i walk into Biology, and sit down, when i feel my phone vibrate. I unlock it, and see a message from Luke.
"Meet me at the park in lunchtime. Alone.
Luke x"
I lock my phone, and concentrate on the class.
"I need to go to the park to meet Luke." I say to Mali, and she frowns. "Why?" She asks, and i shrug. "I'm going to find out now.. i'll see you after lunch." I say, and walk away.
"Hey!" Luke says, and i sit down beside him "Hello!" I smile.
"You wanted to talk?" I ask, and Luke nods. "It's about Calum isn't it?" I say, and Luke nods again.
"Why did you break up with him?" He asks.
"I needed some time.. just the thing with what happened at his home, and with my parents." I say. "But you're his girlfriend.. aren't you supposed to be there for him and help him?" He asks, and i sigh. "Yes.. but everytime i try to help him, he says hurtful things." I say.
"That's not a reason to break up Lily." He says, and i sigh. "Listen Luke, i don't think you understand what's going on." I say, and Luke rolls his eyes. "Oh yes i do. I see how Cal is doing he's broken and feels like shit.. all because of you!" Luke says, and i laugh. "Yeah right Luke.. please, i think Calum knows that he's also the one who's wrong." I say.
"You only think about yourself huh? First you date him, he doesn't show up at our band practice, because he has to hang out with YOU.. then the problems with you and your parents, he was there for you.. and now he needs you, and you run away like it's nothing." Luke says, and i can't believe he's saying this.
"You know what Luke? Think before you go and talk to me like this! It's sick, and i didn't deserve this." I say, amd with that, i get up, and walk away.
"Hey Lil, how did it go-" "Please Mali, not now." I say, and walk past her to class, and sit down on a desk in the back of the classroom.
Mali walks in, and sits down at our usual desks, and she turns around.
"Lil." She says, and i get up and run away with tears running down my face.
"Lil? What's wrong?" I bump into Ashton, and look up. "That friend of you.. that's wrong!" I say, and walk past him, back to my dorm room.
I let myself fall on my bed, and cry my eyes out. I sit up, and dial my mom's number. "Hey love, how are you?" She asks, and i start crying my eyes out again. "P-pick me up please." I say, and i wipe away my tears. "What happened Lil?" My mom asks, and i sigh. "Too much, just pick me up." I say, and hang up.
I pack my bags, and write a letter for Mali, and place it on her pillow.
My mom shows up, and i run into her arms. "Thank you mom." I say, and my mom frowns. "For what?" She asks. "For warning me for them." I say.

//Mali//
I haven't seen Lily all day, and when school finishes, i run towarda my room, and open the door. "Lil? I ask, but no answer. That's when i notice that her stuff is gone, and her walls are not covered with posters again.
I notice something on my pillow, and walk towards it, and see the letter.
I open it, and sit down.
Dear Mali..
I'm sorry for all the problems i caused, i'm sorry for hurting your brother, i'm sorry for leaving, and i'm sorry for not saying goodbye.
College is not how i imagined it.
I want to say thank you, for being the best roommate i could ever ask for.
For being so nice, and so helpfull.
In a few weeks, you became my bestfriend, and i have no siblings, but you're like a sister for me.
I'm going home, and i will finish my school there, and become what i always wanted to be.
I hope you'll be okay, and that you graduate, and be happy, and be yourself, and become what you always wanted to be.
I love you Mali, and i hope i ever see you again, but for now, i say goodbye.
I'll always remember you. Just know that nothing of this has to do with you, because you've always been amazing.
I love you Mali, take care, and goodluck with everything you want to do.
Lots of love,
Lily.
By now, i'm crying my eyes out. I lay down on my bed, and take letter in my arms.
"Goodbye Lil." I whisper, even tho she can't hear me.
