Chapter twelve

Will
Slowly waking up and blinking my eyes open.

Slowly gathering my surroundings I realized where I have fallen asleep.

I felt a small tug around my waist, looking down I see that Mike has his arm wrapped around my waist, while he sleeps peacefully.

I carefully unhooked mikes arm around me, as I crawled off the bed searching for my phone, I reach down to search my pants pockets.

Only thing is I didn't have pockets?! That's when I took a minute to look down and noticed I am not wearing my pants.

Getting up off the bed I looked around frantically for my sweatpants, looking down as they lay beside my feet along with Mike's shirt.

Quickly grabbing my sweatpants off the floor I practically jumped into them.

Turing on my phone that's now at a 20% I scroll through the 7 missed calls and texts from Luke.

Quickly stepping into my crocs as I left his room,  walking down the hall towards the stairs hoping Luke might still be in  my room.

Reaching the stairs my heart and my feet stop when I see Luke sitting on the stairs, he quickly gets up and walks towards me.

"W-where were you last night...I texted you?" Luke asked his tone a little saddened.

"I was out a friend needed M-my help" I replied, hoping Luke didn't hear how shaky my voice was.

"In...The middle of the night?" He asked in confusion with a raised eyebrow, and that's when for some reason unknown to me I looked behind Luke.

That's when Luke followed my gaze, his face changing to a blank expression.

As  Mike's tall lanky figure stands beside a tree, Luke turns back to me.

"L-Luke it's not- please just let me explain" I stammer as he just stands there and runs his fingers through his hair.

"I-I just need a moment" Luke says walking to his car.

"Luke please! I was going t-to tell you...it's just been confusing and I-"

"safe it will...please" he says getting into his car as he started it and drove off.

I stand there bringing my arms to my chest watching him leave, I backed away slowly Walking past mike as he reaches out for me.

"Will...?" He says softly, but I just needed to clear my head for a few minutes, I backed away from him.

"Go home Mike" I said walking towards the dormitory entrance  with my arms crossed.

Walking into my room I stand by the door letting it close behind me, letting out a sniff as the tears that were building up my eyes fall down.

I hear the bed shuffle from the other side of the room, "Will?....will what's wrong?" Max says walking up to me, I haven't even realized she was in her nor did I know  know she came back from her trip with Jane.

"Will... I asked what's wrong?" She says placing her hands on my shoulders looking at my face.

"M-Me...and Luke just broke up" I say my voice sounding a little croaked.

"Oh...oh" Max says softly as she pulled me into a hug.

"D-Do you want to talk about it?" She says softly while hugging me tightly.

I sniff pulling away from the hug, "N-Not exactly...I mean it was technically all my fault anyway" I shrugged it off with a sniff walking towards my bed sitting down on it as Max comes to sit next to me.
