Chapter 2

Consequences

I woke up with Daniels arms wrapped around me. After I wiggle out of his arms, I make cereal and sat on the couch. There's nothing on t.v, so I sit in silence, until Daniel brakes it.

"Anymore cereal left?"

"Yea, it's in the pantry." I say. He gets down and pours some cereal. He joins me on the couch and we eat.

"So...after last night...are we a couple?" He breaks the silence. I put down my bowl and grab his hands.

"Listen, I just got out of a very long and broken relationship and I'm not ready for another one." I reply.

"But you were about to with Erik!" He says.

"Not true. Sure I would've kissed him, but I wouldn't fuck him. Not yet at least...I should go apologize for what happened last night..." I say getting up. He grabs my hand and stands up. He leans in and I walk away. I hear him ranting as I slam the door shut. I walk to my first class and it seems like forever before it ends. I walk out of class and walk down the hall toward the door. As I walk I see Erik walking with Gavin. I push through the crowd of people and catch up with them.

"Hey Erik!" I say. He says goodbye to Gavin and his girlfriend and pushes ahead. I jog to catch up with him. "Umm, a polite thing to do is say Hi back!"

"Another one is to not slam the door in my face after a date and then fuck Daniel." He says.

"What?! I didn't fuck him! I just made out with him in the shower!" I say.

"Not what he's telling people." He replies. We walk out the door into the courtyard.

"When did he tell you?" I ask.

"This morning before class." He says. I start to rant but he stops me. "If you didn't want to be with me, you could've told me. You didn't have to fuck your roommate." I stop walking and he keeps going. I walk back to the dorm and on my way, people give me funny looks. I open the door to my room and I see Daniel on the couch. He looks at me and smirks.

"Have a nice morning?" He asks.

"Not really after the rumors you've been spreading!" I yell.

"Well, you didn't want to be mine so I had to make you mine in my own way." He says.

"Your sick!" I exclaim. I grab my phone and walk out of the dorm. I go into the bathroom and sit by the toilet and cry. Just on cue, my phone rings. Ciara.

Ciara-Hey gurl! How's uni life!?

Me-Bad! Everyone thinks I'm a major slut cuz I made out wit my roommate and he told everyone I slept with him!

Ciara- Ohemgee! How horrible! I'm so sorry!

Me- I want to go home! I hate uni!!! :.(

Ciara- You can't leave. Everyone will c how weak u r. U need 2 stay strong!

I take Ciara's words into consideration. When the time comes to go to my next class, I dry my tears and walk to class. As people stare at me, I ignore them and take a seat. Erik comes into the classroom. "Shit, he has this class!" I think. I put my head down and Erik sits on the opposite side of the room. I lift up my head halfway through class and see Erik looking at me. I smile but he looks away. I put my head back down. My phone buzzes and I look at it.

Message- Hey slut.

Me- Who is this?

Message- You don't need to know that.

Me- Ummm I kinda do.

Message- Just meet me behind the coffee shop at 11:30 tonight and you'll find out who I am.

I consider the thought. I could get raped, beaten or killed. But at this moment, I don't care. I will meet this asshole.

***11:25 PM***

I walk behind the alley of the coffee shop and its empty. I turn around and someone's standing there. I back up and he walks closer. He gets close to me and pulls off his hood. Marcelo!

"Marcelo!" I gasp. I hug him and he hugs me back. I pull away and our faces are inches apart.

"Guess what?!" He exclaims.

"I don't know....what?!" I say.

"So I've been hearing about those rumors that's been going around, and I think I can help." He says.

"How?!" I ask.

"It's a surprise." He says.

"'Please, Marcelo, don't make this bigger than it isn't." I plead. He smiles.

"Trust me, I won't." He says. With that he kisses my forehead and walks into the night. I stand there, under the streetlight thinking of what he might do. 'What if he kills him?' I think. 'No, Marcelo wouldn't go that far....oh gosh he would!' At that thought I run into the night after him. I run down the sidewalk, the street lights flashing as I run. Something hits me and I fall over. I roll into the street clutching my knee.

"Oh gosh! I'm so sorry Ryder!" Someone says in the dark. I look up, but don't see any. He steps into the light and kneels down next to me. Erik. "Seems like its either me knocking you over, or a football...or a rumor..."

"Look, that's not true! I didn't sleep with him!" I yell. He puts his hand over my mouth.

"Listen, I believe you. I just don't want to others to say mean things about me 'cause I believe you..." He says.

"Really? Now I know your not a friend..." I say as I push away his hand from my mouth. I get up and start to walk away, hoping Marcelo hasn't gotten too far, and wondering where he's going. Erik jogs to catch up with me.

"Listen, I do like you! And I don't want you to get hurt, but at the same time, I don't myself to get hurt." He says. I keep walking and ignore him. He puts his hands on my shoulders to stop me from moving.

"If you don't let go, I'll scream!" I threaten.

"Don't be stubborn, just hear me out!" He says. He leans in and kisses me. I stand there as he kisses me, but I close my eyes in defeat and follow the movement his lips make. I wrap my arms around his neck. He pulls away and I slowly open my eyes and smile. He walks me to my dorm and kisses me goodbye. I open the door to find a dark room. I slowly close door, not to wake Daniel. I get undressed and look for my pjs, when a light turns on. It's Daniel, sitting in a chair like a mother catching her daughter sneaking into the house late at night.

"Dude, do you mind?! I'm naked!!" I say. I grab my pants off the floor and cover myself. He chuckles.

"So, I see you we're just out with Erik." He says.

"You know what Daniel, he may be a 'jerk', but at least he isn't a pervert like you!" I say. I go to the dresser and put on some clothes.

"I'm not saying sorry for lack of knowledge on your on part." He says. I roll my eyes and and get in bed. "Ya know you can't postpone this conversation for ever!" He says. I look him in the eye.

"Watch me." I say with a bitter smile and roll over in bed and close my eyes and fall asleep.
