I ran the cold bathwater, my time slowly coming to to a stop as the tub became fuller.

I can't deal with this anymore. This pathetic way of living.

Lisa had left me. I couldn't support my tuition. And my mom was suffering from my college debt.

I'm done, I'm ready to become free.

I chose today because I knew my popular roomate, Joey, would be out at some party that I obviously wasn't invited to. As I stripped and sat in the chilling water, I grabbed my blade and closed my eyes.

This is it. I thought about my mom for the last time, how she would be the only one to grieve for me. I'm such a terribl-

"Ugh, alright alright, I get it ! " A voice yelled, interupting my thoughts. It was Joey quarlling with some girl again.

I heard our dorm door slam and Joey's footsteps echoed as he came closer to the bathroom. But I couldn't move. I was so ready to die that I hadn't even considered this scenario.

" 'Phobics these days." Joey mumbled as he swung open the door.

He stared at me and I stared at him.

"Sha-shane...what are you doing?" His eyes jerked from the blade in my hand to my tear stucken face.

"Oh my-oh my God ! Shane, how could you even think of doing this ? " He started to shake and kneeled down next to the tub, looking into my eyes, searching for an answer.

"Joey, I'm sorry." My hoarse voiced sounded rough in my ears, so unlike me.

Without another word he hugged me. So tightly I thought I would suffucate, but I wanted this. I wanted someone else to care. To miss me.

"How could you do this to me Shane ?" He laughed heartlessly. "You know I broke up with Jessica for you ?"

I pulled away from his hug and began to laugh. It was the first time in weeks that I had actually laughed and it felt amazing.

Wiping my eyes, I smiled and looked at him. "Thank you Joey. For cheering me up some. I desperatley needed that."

But his eyes resembled a hurt expression. His hand that was resting on my arm, dropped to the ground.

"Wait, a-are you being serious ? You guys were the voted most likely to get married in our freshman year, there's no way..."

And as he awkwardly rubbed his neck, I swept the smile off my face.

"Shane, I like you. " He said, but then groaned.

"God, that sounded so lame."

Despite the odd situation, I smiled and ran my hand through his silky hair.

"Joey I-"

But he leaned in and kissed me, sweetly rolling his tounge over mine. And I felt the sparks. But I didn't like Joey in that way. I can't lead him on, even though I was reluctant to pull away.

I softly pushed him off. "Joey I can't-"

"Can't what, Shane ! You have no idea how hard it is every night when the person I like is  sleeping right across the room from me. I'm suffering. "

His angry, hurt face almost made me want to fall in love with him.

Almost.

I couldn't just give my heart out again, I couldn't just cause a repeat of what happened with Lisa.

But fuck it.

I forced my lips onto his and he blinked in surprise, but quickly putting both his hands on the side of my face to deepen the kiss.

The lust fought the fireworks I was feeling, but I didn't want to fall for him. This straight perfection in front of me, he could easily just abandon me without a second glance. Withou-

"-hane. Shane! " Joey jerked me and I noticed that he had pulled away, a concerned look in his eyes.

He wiped my cheeks and I couldn't deny it anymore. Why was I fighting it ? I like Joey. He cares, and thats all I need.

" 'ont stop." I slurred, pulling him back to my lips. I moved my hands down his chest, sticking my hand into his boxers.

In between kisses he murmered, "Are you sure ?"

Instead of a reply, I started to pump him but stopped as he threw his clothing off to side, and joined me in the cold water.

I moved on top of him and bit his ear as he tried to stifle his moans. His hands roamed my back, every spot he touched spiked with electricity. I started to spread his legs, and slowly stuck three fingers in.

"Ah, Shane ! The water is seeping into my-"

But I cut him off by moving my fingers faster and faster, stretching him out more as he now freely moaned.

"Just do me !" He managed under ragged breaths.

"Please, I've been waiting too long." He looked longingly at me.

He's seductively beautiful.

I hastily entered him, not wasting anytime by moving swiftly. Joey clawed my back, and I felt the warm liquid trickle down. Joey brought me down to his lips and moaned against them as I also began to pump him.

He quickly came into the water and I leaned down to hold him tightly in my arms as I came into him.

I didn't pull out but looked at him. His scrunched up face tried to smile for me, but failed miserably. I laughed and exited him swishing next to his cold body. I wrapped my arm around his waist, deciding to tell him.

"I think...I like you too." I announced.

"Its about time ! " He smiled.

"Why do you like me ? I'm a complete and utter loser."

"Because, well for one you're not fake."

I looked at him, confused.

"What I mean is, you don't desperately try to get with me like everyone else. You take your time and just live how you want, expressing how you feel all the time. Whenever I talk to you, you're sarcastic and funny and you."

He met my eyes and I blushed, covering my face with my hands.

"That was so embaressing to listen to, Joey." I mumbled, and he laughed bringing me closer.

I quietly mumbled, "But I liked it."
