ALWAYS a party at Beta House.
Liam was reading his old notebook in the library, about the way his father and his friends objectified one of Mickey Mouse's friends.
"We knew exactly who, we were and exactly where we were going"
Liam mumbled -How dramatic- and continued reading about the way they insulted each other's mothers, muttering -How nice- with irony and disgust.
Then came the time when he read about the complicated family relationship, even before Uncle Denny died, and he couldn't help but wonder -So why could you barely look at me?... We were sitting in the same chair at that table-
After that, he read about the disappointing appearance of Chopper the dog, the difference between fantasy and reality.
Will mumbled angrily—I wish my childhood disappointments had been like this—as he remembered the monster that followed him to his shed, the cloud of smoke that entered his body, himself destroying his fort in the woods...
Without him noticing, a tear escaped his eye.
Liam angrily wiped it away and continued reading.
"I wondered how Teddy could care so much for his dad who practically killed him. And I couldn't give a shit about my own dad who hadn't laid a hand on me since I was three and that was eating bleach from under the sink"
Will's shoulder suddenly started hurting a lot, and he heard screams echoing in his head.
Dan angrily threw the journal back into his briefcase and said angrily as he stood up -Do you think I give a shit about you?- and stormed out of the library.
He walked over to a trash can and began to take the journal out of his briefcase when a voice said -HEY, LIAM-
A few hours later, Henry was reading at his desk when the door opened and a female voice said –Quique... aquí te traemos al Memo- amid laughter, His roommate stumbled into the room.
Henry asked -Maldonado?... What are you doing?- Henry, having some trouble standing, groggily replied -Hi...- in an amused tone.
Devlin murmured -God... look at you- to which Liam replied -The Betas were having a party-
Henry commented, surprised -But it's a Wednesday- to which Dan mockingly and angrily said, -Hahaha, you're so bitter that I always forget you're a first-year brat... There's ALWAYS a party at Beta House...-
He suddenly stops talking and covers his mouth with his hands. Henry immediately says -Oh, to the bathroom, to the bathroom...- and drags him by the shoulders to a room down the hall.
Once they return to their room, Liam lies down on his bed and says -Thanks for helping me... and not hitting me- while burying his head in the pillow.
Henry replies -It was mostly so I wouldn't have to mop the floor... but if you had caught me on the weekend, things might have been different, but now I really have to concentrate- as he sat back down at his desk.
Liam scolds him -You're such a novice... Party now, study later, party now, study later- He began to bang, his head still against the pillow.
Henry asks -Why don't you call that your project?- pointing at the other desk.
Liam raises his head and says -Right... that's why I went to the library...- Then he reaches into the briefcase still hanging from his shoulder and throws something at Henry.
He then goes on to explain Get rid of this- Henry asks -What is it?- examining the leather notebook.
But Liam answers -It doesn't matter... I don't want to see it again- and leans back against the pillow once more.
Okay, I know, it took me a long time, and I'm telling you right now it'll take even longer, because my asshole bosses gave me the worst possible schedule at work, and I need peace and quiet to write, so here we are.
.
And please don't start with your overprotectiveness of Will, you're just like Joyce. It's the 90s and he's an adult. It would be weird if he didn't do that in college.
