Itwas just another morning at the house. Everyone was having breakfastat the big table in the middle of the living room. Except you andDarren. You were still in your room, and Darren didn't spend thenight at home. "Guys,you really need to keep it quiet sometimes. I have a test thismorning, and I slept 3 hours because of you"said Joe to Brian and Meredith. "What?What do you mean Wox?"Meredith asks confused as she bites into her apple. "Youknow, you yelling in the middle of the night. Do I have to make adrawing out of it, really?"Joe said sarcastically. "Yeahguys you were pretty loud"Jaime adds. "Thatwasn't us!"Brian answered with wide eyes. "You'rethe only couple in there!"Joey laughs. "Iswear, guys, that wasn't us"Brian explains. "Uhm...hi"a tall guy said as he passes his head through the door. Everyoneturned to him, a little confused. "Hi...?"Lauren answered as she looks at him upside down. He was reallyhandsome. Tall, blond, good looking with a good taste in clothes."Uhm, sorryabout the noise yesterday...we...we didn't want to be that obvious"he explains as he turns red. Everyone looked at each other, probablyeven more confused as Darren walked into the house. "HELLOOO"he screams into the house. No one answered him and kept looking atthe tall guy standing in front of them. "Ok,great ambience this morning guys"he said sarcastically. You walked out of your room to join the verysilent living room with everyone looking at him. You couldn't helpbut to smirk. "Sorrybut, uhm who are you exactly?"you heard Dylan asking. You walked beside the tall guy and put yourhand on his back. "Uhm,my name is Ryan"he said, embarassed. "That'smy boyfriend"you say as you smile. Darren pratically choked on his coffee as heheard this. "Oh,okay"everyone said as they got relieved, finally knowing that this guy wasnot some crazy man who came into their house while they weresleeping. You put yourself in front of Ryan and raised yourself asmuch as you could. Ryan smiled and kissed you softly. "Goodmorning"he whispered against your lips before kissing you again. "Hi"you smile. You heard someone chuckle behind you and you were prettysure it was Darren. "Igotta go, but uhm, I'll call you?"Ryan said to you as he grabs his stuff. "Yeah"you say as you bit your lip. You lead him to the front door. He tookyou in his arms one last time and kissed you before leaving, wavingat you from his car. You grin and wave back before closing the door.You happily breath out when you got back to the living room and satwith your friends. "Girl,you have some explaining to do right now"Lauren said, sounding excited as she sat next to you. "Yeah,who was that?"Nick asked. All of a sudden, everyone was asking questions about thenew guy in your life you called your boyfriend. You smile andexplained "Well,he's a guy I met at the store next to the university...he's prettynice"you smirk. "Andathletic"Julia adds as she laughs. "Yeahwe heard that""I would neversee you the same""All nightlong, guys, this guy must be a god"you heard as your face turned red. You laughed as you saw Darrengetting more and more pissed. At some point, he just put back hiscup, maybe a little too loudly, onto the table and left to his room,shutting the door behind him. You all looked at each other confused."What the fuckis wrong with him?"you ask. "Oh,nothing. Just...manstrating"Joey explains. You chuckle and decide not to talk about that for now.You were way too happy about how things turned out between you andRyan. He was so nice and he cared about you. It felt right, andthat's all you needed for now.
Darren had been in his room the whole time you got ready to leave for the university and it kinda upset you. Why would he be like that? Was he okay? To be sure of it, you decided to go see him before you all leave. You knock on his door silently and open the door a little. "Can I come in?" you ask with a smile. "Yeah" he breathes out. You were now sure something was wrong with him. You step into the messy room and close the door behind you. "You okay?" you ask. "Yeah. I am. You can leave now" he says without looking at you. You frown and stand there, waiting for him to give a normal answer to your new question "You wanna talk about it?". He chuckles, looking irritated. He walked to you and smirks at you. "Very nice, your new boyfriend" he said as he crosses his arms. "You didn't have to show him off like a fucking trophy. That was pathetic" he suddenly says. Your mouth falls as you stood there in shock. "I'm sorry what?" you ask, pissed. "You heard me" he clutches his teeth. You look at him right in the eyes, very mad at him. Did he just say you were pathetic? Why? All you could see in his eyes were the anger and you had no idea why it was there. You laugh nervously and say. "So I'm the one who is pathetic? When I'm the one dating a man I care about and I flirted with for weeks now and you're the one sleeping around with differents girls every night?". You let all the anger move in your throat as your voice tone start to get higher. "You've been acting like a jerk, Darren. And no one told you, because we don't wanna judge and everything. But God knows what kind of asshole you have been. And you think you can tell me how I should act in front of my friends or in general? That I'm pathetic? You really should start to work on yourself before judging people because we didn't do it when we had one hundred reasons to. So, one advice Darren, shut the fuck up next time you want to say something like that". You walked out of the door and slammed the door of Joey and Darren's room behind you. You took your stuff and left with the rest of the group for college.
