Allie's POV

Ever since Thomas and Prince's breakup, Alpha Epsilon house has never been the same. After Thomas' classes, he'll go up to his room and will only go back down for supper. He talks to us, yes, nothing changed there, but we miss the old Thomas. The Thomas who's always in the living room texting Prince or playing Fruit Ninja or just simply lying on the couch. Who knew their breakup could affect even the fraternity itself?

Don't get me started on how we saw Thomas that day when they broke up. He's literally a mess. Hair everywhere, tear tracks on his cheeks and eyes still damp and puffy, disheveled clothes. God, he's so wrecked that day. Also, Thomas went into a killing spree for 2 days straight, managing to kill 11 students in those days. Good thing we always get rid of the body though. And for the masked killer? Gone as of now. On the good side, Irvin is finally back and he's filling the house with jokes and laughter from us. I'm on my way to the house and hopefully Thomas is there so I can talk to him and wake his senses up, and good thing I'm right when I saw him sitting on his bed with his earphones on.

"Hey, you got a minute?" I tapped his shoulder.

He looked back at me and pulled one earbud out, "Hey, yeah sure no problem." He patted the space next to him and I took a seat, he raised one of his eyebrow as a sign for me to start talking.

"Uhh...I'm sorry for asking this but are you okay? You know? With the whole breakup thing?" He sighed.

"I knew one of you will talk to me about this, guess it's finally time, huh?" I shrugged but nodded my head.

"To be honest, no. I miss him, I miss his voice, his laugh, his lips, basically him." His eyes are getting red.

"Don't cry, Thomas. He's not worth your tears." He shook his head.

"Yes, yes he is. Even though the breakup hurts like a bitch I know that he deserves these tears because he's nothing but a good boyfriend to me." Now his tears are running down his cheeks.

"Why don't you try talking to him, then? Try to...I don't know? Talk some sense to him, maybe?" He sniffed.

"I guess that could work, or not? I don't know, you know I hate getting rejected, Allie."

"If he rejects you, then don't force him. Never force someone who said no, right?" He nodded.

"Okay, I'll talk to him tomorrow at noon." I clapped.

"Good! I hate seeing you all gloomy, the house is getting sad because of you."

"Ouch, sorry. Tomorrow will be back to normal I swear." He smiled.

"Glad to have you back, Thomas."

Thomas' POV (again, sorry for the POV change)

Now all I have to do is wait. I asked Prince to meet me at the garden at noon (shitty move but I can't think of any place so whatevs) and good thing he said yes. It's 5 to 12 now so he won't be long. I was humming this random song in my head when the squeak of the gates pulled me out of it. There he is, looking effortlessly good it hurts. Like literally hurts because a fucking ant just bit me on my toe.

"Hey." I greet him after I scratched and squished the ant. HA! Bleh

"Hey." He said back and he placed his hands in his pockets.

"I guess you already know why I want to talk to you, huh?" He nodded.

"Is this about us?" I nodded.
