Sick.

Chapter 3- Tears and Sisters

"What the hell Jeffrey!" I yelled. What's gone into him? A girl was sitting on his lap kissing him all over. How could he do this? For once I thought he was different but no. He's like every other idiot out there. I ran out of the dorm crying my eyes out. Ready to leave.

*earlier on the day*
Claire's POV:

I groaned as I got up and brushed my teeth. Great. This is the worst hangover I've ever had. I look around and Jeffrey isn't here. Then I remember what happened last night. Oh shit. Things are gonna be sooo awkward now.

I went to the cafeteria to get some salad. I'm starving but I need to be healthy. Cheesy I know. I sit down and I get a sudden urge to look to my left. At the very corner is Jeffrey. Hands in his face. Why is he there? I get up with my food and sit down across from him. "Haiii" I said. Trying to not make this awkward. I start eating my salad because why not. He looks up and I see his face red and puffy. "Hey Jeffrey... You alright?" I ask. What's going on?

He looks at me and grabs both hands after I dropped my fork to my plate. "I'm so sorry.." He trailed off. I could see him almost crying again. "For what?" I scoffed. This is getting serious now. "I kissed you and we almost did it.. And we aren't even together!" He whispered. I sigh in relief. "It's fine Jeffrey!" I giggle. "We were drunk we were idiots" I smiled. He smiled back and nodded. I picked up my fork and kept eating. He was staring out the window. I could tell something else was up.

Jeffrey's POV:

I still felt bad. She's so caring for forgiving me. But I'm thinking about just moving on and not liking her I guess. As much as I don't want to. I love her so bad. But I don't deserve her. "I gotta go" I said. She looked at me worried. "Okay.. I'm stopping by the mall first with my friend so I'll be back later" she said. Then I walked away.

I walked in the dorm and stuffed my face in my pillow. Letting out one last sob.

Claire's POV:

Something is clearly going. I already told him it's okay so why is he still upset? I pushed that thought to the side as I texted my best friend Zoe I was on my way.

"I don't understand why he is still upset either" she said. "But oh my.. You guys almost did it!" She giggled. I laughed along. We kept walking around and eating food. She told me how her and her boyfriend Kyle broke up because he was all of a sudden being a dick. Wow.

"I'll text you and see how he holds on" I tell her. I say goodbye and make my way up the dorm. I had been gone for a while and it was 6. I came to the door and I was about to unlock it but I heard moaning. "Jeffrey!" a girl screamed. My eyes widened by what I just heard. Shit is about to go down. I unlock the door to see a girl sitting on Jeffrey's lap naked giving him sloppy kisses.

I knew it.. He was nothing but a player. Everything I thought he was.... Was a lie. "What the hell Jeffrey!" I yelled. The girl got up, took her clothes and ran off. Then I saw Jeffrey in his boxers. Unfucking believable. I noticed that they were doing their mess in my bed. Wow. "I'm sorry I just was me-" I cut him off. "You know I actually thought you were different. And for a second I actually fell for you." I felt myself tear up. "But I guess I was wrong" I finished. I slammed the door shut and ran off crying.

Jeffrey's POV:

My eyes widened by what she just said. She was starting to love me. "Fuck!" I groan as I kick everything out of my way. I was feeling really messed up so I called up my ex. Big mistake. I put some pants on and a shirt and ran to get her. I looked everywhere and she was no where. I looked in the back of the building and heard sobs. I walked closer and saw Claire. Her legs were up to her chest and she was sobbing in them. I felt so bad.

I walked up and sat next to her. "Leave me alone." She whispered. I hugged her and she cried into my chest.

I realized after a while she stopped crying. I looked down and she pushed me away. Then I looked at her. She was still beautiful as ever. I'm such an idiot. I really hurt her this time. What the hell is wrong with me. "I'm sorry. I really am. I was feeling let down and a little bit tipsy out of nowhere." I said. She looked at me then looked down. "It's okay I guess." She whispered. She was so forgiving I couldn't believe it. I held out my hand and she took it. Immediately letting go though after she got up. I knew things weren't going to be the same. I really fucked up.

When we got back to the dorm Claire took some air freshener and sprayed it all around. She fixed her bed after the mess I had made. Dammit I felt so bad. She went on her bed and just laid there. I went up to her and brushed her hair out of her face. She turned her face away from me. I sat down on the floor and started rubbing her back. I knew that would make her fall asleep. And she did.

I was watching Claire sleep after a while. I'm such a creep. I just sat there as I listened to her softly breath threw her mouth. I set my head down on the side of her bed where she wasn't on. Then I fell asleep.

Claire's POV:

I woke up to my alarm. It was 9:30 in the morning. I looked over and saw Jeffrey resting his head on the side of my bed. I felt bad for treating him like this. But then again he ripped me apart. I got up and brushed my teeth before hopping in the shower. Classes started tomorrow so I knew I needed to sleep early. I got out and slipped on some black leggings along with a loose really light pink shirt. I blow dried my hair and curled a little bit of the ends. I applied just a tad of makeup. I checked the time and it was 10. Jeffrey was still asleep. I rubbed his back and felt his hair. Gosh I'm such a creep. I smiled to myself.

I suddenly had a craving for Jamba Juice. So I ran out to quickly get some. I thought of getting one for Jeffrey too.

I stepped in the shop and got in line. "Oh my god Claire is that you?" A familiar voice said. I looked over and it was my sister Nicole. I haven't seen her since I was 5. When my parents got divorced my dad took her and he wouldn't let me see her. I felt myself tear up. "Nicole?" We ran to each other to get a hug. We were both crying. "How did you recognize me?" I sobbed. "Dad would always show me pictures so I would at least know you were still here and how you looked like" she cried. "I missed you so much" I sobbed. Everyone was listening to us and all of a sudden they clapped. Even the staff. I just looked at them and smiled. I gave Nicole my number and she gave me hers. Then she headed out with one last hug. She looked amazing. Just like mom. Her hazel colored hair and light green eyes. With dads smile. (No dimples). I ordered my things and headed out.

I was so glad I found her. Mom and dad would forbid us to see or talk. Soon they gave in but Nicole was lost. So was I. I unlocked the door hoping I wouldn't find anything disturbing. Jeffrey was laying in his bed watching tv. God he looked awful. Was he crying? "Oh okay good I thought you ran off and got kidnapped or something." He breathed out. I handed him the Jamba Juice and sat on my bed. I added in my sisters number to my contacts. "Thanks" he said. I looked up and smiled. I still couldn't believe I saw her after so many years. "Something wrong?" He asked. I just gave in and told him the story. He seemed really shocked but then he felt happy that I finally found her out of the blue.

"Don't forget we have class tomorrow." I decided to remind him. "Oh really? Shit" he said. I just laughed. He looked at me then smiled.
