College Girl

Chapter 21

Liberty's POV
Music still bumping, I jump awake around 7:20 pm that same Sunday evening. This afternoon's events rush back to me and I roll my eyes. If I didn't have to pee, I would stay in bed. I stretch then turn off the music.

To my surprise, it's quiet. Maybe the trick left. I get up and walk to my bathroom to pee. After doing so, I decide to check up on Trey. I have questions to ask. It's dark out in the hallway but a gleam of light shines from under his door.

"Trey?" I say before knocking.

In a strained voice, he tells me to come in. I open the door to find him under his covers on his bed. He looks terrible. I walk over to his bed and sit on the edge. I feel his forehead for a fever, but he's fine.

"What's wrong, honey?" I ask him.

He closes his eyes and sighs. Was that sadness I saw?

"Are you in pain?" I ask,"Did you take your meds?"

"...Yeah. I'm in some pain. I forgot to take my meds." He sighs.

I immediately get up and get his pills. I grab a bottle of water from his mini fridge and pour some in a cup.

"Here," I say handing him the large white pills and the cup,"Take these."

He takes them out of my hands and thanks me. I look closely at his face to realize there's something else on his mind. He looks away and swallows down his pills.

"Is there something wrong?" I ask him with concern,"Is it something that Krissy said?"

He hesitates before saying,"Nah. I 'm just thinking of of the paper I have to grade. Don't worry yourself."

Lies. I place my hand on his knee. I'm not gonna drill him because it seems like he's somewhere else.

"Is there anything I can do to help?"

He sighs with his head down,"If you don't mind, I'd like to be alone now."

A pang of hurt hits my heart.

"Yeah. Okay😕. Just call me if you need me."

He doesn't respond so I just peck his forehead and leave. Something ain't right and I need to investigate. This has to have something to do with Krissy. I feel it in my heart. I head down to the family room to check for anything. All clear. Damn!

Maybe I'm just being paranoid. My phone vibrates and I check my phone. A text from a blocked number.

It reads,"Karma's a bitch. Shxt would happen right under your nose and you wouldn't notice."

Who the- . Monte. He's really out for me.
