I'm Happy If You Are |Book Two|

If This Room Was Burning

Chapter Song: Little White Lies - One Direction (I just want to say, these songs have nothing to do with anything in the chapter, maybe some of the times, these are just songs that I happened to listen to during the making of the chapter.)

Chapter 42:

(Kerri's POV)

"Grey!" Diana throws her arms around Grey's neck and Grey pulls her up in a straddling position," I've missed you!"

I'm. Confused.

I stand there completely confused while they stand in the doorway hugging each other tightly.

I observe Grey's dark figure. He is built up more, he is more matured, and he has a dark expression. Completely dressed in black: from his back tee to his black converse.

Diana drops from Grey's hold and specks him on the lips.

"Grey?" I finally built up the confidence to speak.

Diana looks at me with confusion," you two know each other?"

She looks pissed.

Grey smirks at me and nods to Diana," she's an old acquaintance, no worries babe."

Babe? Let me just barf.

I hold in my laughter and go to sit on my bed.

"How do you know Grey?" Diana directs the question to me.

"We-"

Diana cuts Grey off," I want her answer, not yours."

"We are old acquaintances. We were lab partners for a semester."

She looks over at Grey and smiles," okay then babe, let's go."

I watch the pair walk out of the small room without another word.

What the hell? Grey is with that whore? Where is the Grey I know? He would never dress like that nor would he call a girl a pet name such as that. He's went back to screw 'em and lose 'em.

What are they? I hope he's not stooped that low.

My phone buzzes on my bed and I see that Lucas is calling.

"Hey," I spit, slightly pissed, into the phone.

Lucas gasps," who pissed in your cheerios?"

Grey fucking Elliot, that who.

"My roommate is a bitch."

Why are you lying to your best friend?

"Oh, I figured that much. Ready for food?" he states happily into the phone.
I sigh and lean on my bed post.

"Sure, I'll meet you at your dorm. I wanna see who you got stuck with," I reply and hang up.

I grab my phone, purse, and a light jacket due to the slightly chilly weather. I lock the door on my way out and head to Lucas'.

------

"Yes?" a guy in glasses answers the door.

I am taken aback at his so very clean cut look.

I see Lucas behind him, cringing, causing me to erupt in giggles.

Lucas passes the dude up and grabs my hand as he passes me, pulling me away from the guy in Lucas' dorm.

"He's a neat freak and he sounds like a dying horse when he laughs," Lucas speaks up when we turn the corner.

I can't help but laugh," I have an emo, devil worshipper to live with. Chill."
