-Back At College-

-Cecilia POV:

"Don't forget to hand in your work tomorrow." The teacher reminded us and then dismissed us with a wave of his hand.

"I think I'm tired of college already." I sighed, speaking to Damien.

"Yeah well we are both lucky to only have a one year term." He answered and I nodded. That was true.

We were heading to the library to study for a test tomorrow, which we did a lot.

"Hey have you seen Bella yet?" He asked and I frowned at the mention of her name.

"Yea I saw her in one class but she totally ignored me. She looks really sad. Have you talked to Vincent?"

He shook his head and opened the library door for me.

"I'm sure it's nothing." I murmured, sitting down at the window seat.

A knock on the dorm door interrupted me from watching movie and I stood up, quickly striding over to the door.

Opening it, my eyes widened at Bella. Her mascara was running down her face along with tears.

"Bella? Bella, what's wrong?" I quickly pulled her inside and shut the door behind her.

"Cece he broke up with me." She sobbed, lifting her hands to her face.

"Vincent? But he would never." I exclaimed, shock mirroring in my voice.

"What's going on?" Damien asked, coming out of his room.

"Vincent broke up with her." I stated bluntly and Bella glared at me before turning to Damien. "Did he tell you why?"

"No, I haven't talked to him." Damien answered.

I quickly took some chocolates and icecream out the freezer and set them in front of Bella. "Damien, keep her company. Listen to her ranting, if you must. I need to go do something."

He nodded and sat down beside Bella and I rushed out the door before she would question my mission.

I walked straight to Vincent's door and rapped my knuckles on it.

He opened the door a few seconds later and he sighed, leaning against it. "Let it out, Cecilia. Tell me what an Asshole I am."

I leaned against the doorframe and narrowed my eyes at him. "You are an Asshole. Really. Bella's devastated so you better have a good reason for all this shit."

He beckoned for me to come in and I did so, watching him as he closed the door.

"Want a drink?" He offered and I shrugged, which he took as a yes.

Handing me a cup of orange juice, he sat down on a chair and sighed, burying his face in his hands.

"I didn't wanna hurt Bella."

"But you did!" I exclaimed, my eyes literally flashing at him.

"She's always depressed, she won't tell me what's wrong, which makes me feel absolutely worthless, and some days she just ignores me so I don't feel like I mean much to her anymore."
