College Roommate - Raulson

Distressed

(Lily's POV)

It's already December, Sarah and I have been together for almost a whole month. But this month has been one of the best in my life. I'm so lucky to have found someone like her. She is always at my side when I need her. We're like partners in crime. We always have each-others back's no matter what.

*a few days later*

I'm sitting on our new couch we bought. It's a two seater love couch, it lays facing out the window. Giving us an amazing view of the academy.

At the moment I'm in our room alone. I finished all my classes today but Sarah was staying late for extra help. So I'm just finished up my assignment 3 days early so I don't have to worry about it later. I've always been the type of person to be the first to finish an assignment, essay, or project.

Suddenly as I was typing my last paragraph for my assignment; my phone rings. It's a familiar number.. A number that I sworn I blocked a long time ago. Of course I don't pick up, ignoring it for a minute. Until they started calling non-stop and leaving messages.

I eventually pick it up.

It was my ex, Hamish.

"Hello Lily is this you? This is Hamish. I would really like to speak to you right now." I then reply to him with "Yes, please do not call back. That would mean a lot. Thank you and goodbye."

As I'm about to hang up I can here him yelling in a panic saying "NO NO LILY PLEASE I REALLY WANT TO TALK TO YOU. I'M SO SORRY FOR EVERYTHING I DID, IF YOU CAN THIS FRIDAY WE SHOULD HANG OUT AT THE PARK ON WESTSIDE OF THE ACADEMY. PLEASE..."

*phone hangs up*

I keep pacing our small square room, replaying the words that Hamish just said on the phone. Maybe I should go? Just to see how he's doing? But he's degraded me, he was verbally abusive, and worse of all he cheated. I can't go back to that and most of all I can't have Sarah finding out and becoming upset. She'll hate me. She'll never love me again. If she found out if such unnecessary bullshit.

It's been less than an hour. I have over 50 messages from Hamish saying "Lily please." "Lily I'm sorry, let me make it up to you." "Just please please please think about this." and even more.

What if he was serious. What if I do go. Maybe it won't kill to catch up on things. Just a small chat at the park. That's all.

After all the thinking and repercussions going through my head I decide to say "Yes." Also asking for the time. "7:30 sharp :)" He replies with an odd smily face at the end.

One problem is Sarah. I can't have her find out. So I'll just have to slightly lie and say I'm going to stay at Zach's for a while. I never lie to her but this time; I'm gonna have to.

*Friday Night*
(Sarah's POV)

I just got home not to long ago; it's about 3:45. I had left a couple minutes earlier because I wasn't feeling good. I felt like something was wrong; not sickness wise but something in the aura Lily gave off. I usually have an instinct when someone lies to me and when I get this sick feeling I'm always right. But I'm confused on why I would get this now? Is Lily lying to me?

I need to check this out. So I check Lily's iMac because her Apple account is on there, so are her text messages. Therefore I go and log in to what I thought was a delusional nightmare...

There was messages from her ex. All I really was told about this Hamish guy was that he cheated, he was degrading and that he was verbally abusive. Verbal abusive is the worse than cheating to me but it does equal out in some aspects. If this all true and if I wasn't dreaming why was she talking to him? 

Why would she lie?

Why would she does this behind my fucking back?

The same questions going in a constant loop through my brain. I could careless about her hanging out with him if that was the case. But I just want to know why she would lie to me. I wish she told me so we could at least sort something out.

I hate liars and Lily lied.

This means I need to scope her out. So being as sneaky as possible I wrote down the time and place they were going. I know this songs like some stalker story but I don't care. I love Lily and I don't want to catch her cheating. Especially on her god damn ex.

Oh god I hate that Hamish guy.

(Lily's POV)

I'm right now on my way to the westside of the academy where our park is. I walk down the steps to see Hamish on a picnic blanket, a basket, and candles. As I approach him, he runs up and tries to give me a hug. I wanted to pull away so bad but just in my niceness I respectfully didn't.

He then takes me by the hand leading me to the blanket as I sit down. Hamish asks "So, how is everything? School, relationship, etc."

I reply awkwardly with " Uh yeah everything's um okay I guess. I have a girlfriend, her name is Sarah and she's so lovely. And we've been together for about month and... Yeah that's about it."

"Oh. Well that's good to hear. Anyways lets eat! I brought your favorite wine! Red of course. Also we have some nice chicken salad sandwiches and a fruit salad to go on the side." Hamish says smiling excitedly.

"MHMM! Great my favorite, thank you!" I giggle as I stuff my face with my delicious sandwich.

Hamish pours us our wine into two nice wine glasses. We then eventually finish out food, just leaving a quarter of the wine left.

Taking our last drinks, Hamish grabs me. He takes my face and starts to lay his lips across mine. I try to resist but the wine got to me too fast.

In the corner of my eye I thought I had a hallucination. I saw Sarah. Climbing down the steps with the most disappointed and upset look I have ever seen. I instantly pull away from Hamish but it was to late, Sarah saw everything. She had run back up the stairs and she was already gone.

I apologize to Hamish saying "I'm so sorry. You shouldn't of done that and I'm sorry I need to go now." As I turn running up the stairs to follow Sarah.

I make it to our room. She wasn't there. The only other place she could be is Zach's. So I go to walk out of our building to see Sarah on the side of the wall crying her eyes out. I hide one side to listen to her whispers. "How could she fucking do this to me? I love her and she knows how agitated I get when someone lies. The worst of all is why would she cheat on me for someone who cheated on her?" Sarah says as she bails her eyes out with her hands covering her face.

I slowly creep over to her quietly taking her in my arms saying " I'm so sorry Sarah it's not what you think he got me confused, I truly love you and if you don't believe me I make it up to you."

"How?" She asks questionably.

"You'll see." As I give her a smirk picking her up to walk back to our room.
