All This Time {Drizzy x Romeo FanFic}

16

(Drizzy's POV)

I make it home and the first thing I do is look for Romeo. He left the police station with Marcus earlier so I didn't get to see him before. I open his room door but he's not there and so I check Marcus's room and there he is with Marcus.

The two of them look over at me. Romeo turns away and Marcus glares at me and says, "Get out."

"Wait, Romeo, I need to talk to you." I say.

"I don't want to talk to you." He huffs.

"Come on. Please." I beg.

"Drizzy, you set me up!" He finally looks at me with piercing eyes. "You took me there KNOWING what you were going to do. You KNEW I was going to be the last person in that room. How... How did you even do it? Did you spike him? Did you put something on the bed? I knew the whole thing was so weird. How could you do this to me?"

"That wasn't the plan! This wasn't supposed to happen, we were supposed to leave. Everyone was supposed to be so preoccupied with themselves and the party to even see you go in there." I say.

"So you did know? You actually set this up. YOU HURT HIM!"

"Romeo, it's not that simple!"

"I thought people were more genuine when their drunk. You told me you would always protect me! You lied to me!" He shouts. "I-- I thought we were friends." He pushes past me and walks out of the room.

"Romeo, of course we're friends!" I follow him as he walks to his own room.

"No! We're not! Friends would never do this to each other!" Romeo yells at me.

"I didn't want this to happen! And I told the police you would never even think about doing that to anyone!" I exclaim. "I... i told  them that... you had absolutely nothing to do with it. I told them the whole thing about you being there was a coincidence."

He glares at me. "You're so stupid." He flops and sits on his bed.

"I'm trying to help you!"

"IDIOT! They know we went to the party together! I told them the truth-- minus the part about you telling me to flirt with Josh and take him upstairs." He says. "Why would you do that to me?!"

"I didn't this was how it was gonna--" I take a deep breath. "Listen," I sit next to him on the bed, "the truth is Josh has been spreading ish about you recently."

"...What?" He asks. "Like... what?"

"Like you being a doe or how you've slept with all of his friends-- I know that it's all a lie but it irked me." I sigh and turn away from him. "I don't remember saying it because I was drunk but I really will always protect you, especially from your exes."

"...I didn't say that part."

"What?" I look at him and he's smiling softly at me.

"I didn't say the part about the exes. You do remember, don't you?" He smirks.

Feeling embarrassed for being caught in a lie, I say, "No. I'm only here to tell you that I really didn't mean for this to happen."

"You're such a dumbarse." He bumps my shoulder. "Thank you, you really should've let me in on it. I would've done a much better job at all of this. Even though I still hope Josh isn't hurt too bad."

"James said that he's recovering in the hospital, they might release him tomorrow." I say as I look at him, "You know, I couldn't just let him say all of that, I wasn't going to kill him or anything."

He twitches a smile. "Thank you, Drizzy, you have twisted ways but you're so sweet." He hugs me, I hug back and we sit there for a moment. He looks up at me and before I even know it we're leaning in and...

Sirens sound as they start pulling up outside.
