After 2

Chapter 8

James pov

Seeing Michelle kiss those guys made me reach my breaking point. I had to get out of there. I hear footsteps follow behind me. I leave my back turned.

"What? Couldn't handle a taste of your own medicine?" She sneers. I clench my fists, she scoffs and I hear her turn around. I quickly grab her wrist and press her up against the wall placing my hands either side of her head.
My eyes scan her face, from her eyes to her nose and her lips. We haven't been this close in such a long time.
Before I could think she throws her arms around my neck and smashes her lips onto mine. I'm taken aback but quickly recollect myself and take control. I move my hands from the wall to her waist. I hear some whistles and hollering. She pulls away and looks at me.
"I think we should go somewhere more private"
She leads me upstairs and before we get to a room she pushes me against a wall and starts kissing me. I know she's drunk and I shouldn't take advantage of her but I can't help myself. I've wanted this for so long.
She wraps her legs around my waist as I walk her into a bedroom and kick the door shut. I lay her down on the bed and she wraps her arms tighter around my neck.

I wake up in a unfamiliar surrounding. My arm wrapped around Michelle. My chest is bare as is hers. I think back to last night and it all rushes through my brain so fast. She starts stirring and faces me her eyes slowly flutter open. My heart begins to race. She opens her eyes and looks at me with the soft eyes I fell so hard for but quicker then I could blink they turn into hatred.
"Michelle-" before I could speak she was tearing the covers off and putting her dress back on. I get out of the bed.
"Never come near me again" she says backing into the door.
She combs her fingers through the roots of her hair and runs out of the room. I bring my hand up to my forehead and sigh. Grabbing my shirt I put it on and leave the house without looking around.

Michelle's pov

My head is pounding and my body aches though I keep running all the way back to my dorm room. I notice Thalia isn't there. I collapse in a heap on my bed.
"What have I done" I moan rolling around onto my back.
After a hour of wallowing in self loath I decided to shower and change into my black booty shorts and one of Eldons hoodies. I open my laptop and play a movie. About half way through there is a knock at my door. I sigh and get up.
"Yes" my face drops and I try slamming the door but he stops it with his foot.
"We need to talk" James says calmly. I swing the door back open and face him.
"I have nothing to say to you" before he could speak again I slam the door shut. I slide my back down the door and curl up into a ball burying my face into my knees.
