The World Will Never Be The Same

chapter 16

Thomas' POV
-----------------------------------------------------------

     "James, what is this?" I repeat, still pinned against the wall.
     "I just think I can change your mind about Alex," he said. I was so confused. He had never shown interest in me like this before. Suddenly he leaned in and kissed me.
     I tried to turn away, but he grabbed my face to keep it still. I pursed my lips, hating every second of the kiss. "Oh come on Thomas, you know you would have me over Alex any day," said James, finally breaking the kiss. "No, I-" I began to protest, but he cut me off by kissing me again. I heard the unlocked door open as I struggled against James.
     "Thomas, what?" It was Alex's voice that came from the doorway.

Alex's POV
-----------------------------------------------------------

     I stood in the doorway, frozen with shock. This is why he had come back to his dorm early. "I-I can explain, Alex," said Thomas, breaking away from James.
     "Explain that you want more than him," chimed in James. I stared at both of them, still shocked. "Look at this." James held up his phone, showing me a screenshot of text messages. I read them as quickly as possible.

Aaron: hey Thomas, do you really like Alex
Thomas: he's just another guy. I'd much rather be dating James
Aaron: ok thanks, just wondering

     I stared at the texts in disbelief. "I trusted you!" I yelled at Thomas. He snatched the phone from James.
     "I swear, Alex, I didn't-" Thomas tried to speak, but I cut him off.
     "You told me you would protect me," I screamed, tears beginning to fill my eyes, "you told me you would never leave me. Did this relationship mean nothing to you?"
     "Alex, I love you," said Thomas. I couldn't believe he was still trying to convince me.
     "Don't lie to me," I said, outraged and , "you love James. I'll leave you two alone. Clearly I walked in on something intimate." I stormed out of his dorm, angry and hurt. It had started to rain, but I was to upset to care. It only fueled my anger. I ran to herc and laf's dorm.

Laf's POV
-----------------------------------------------------------

     "And then I said," said Peggy loudly, trying not to laugh, "that's not a dentist, that's my mom!" Everyone stared at her blankly. "Oh come on, guys, that was a great joke!"
     Suddenly, Alex burst in the door, tears in his eyes. "Alex, are you okay?" Asked Eliza, rushing to Alex's side.
     "Obviously not, Liza!" Yelled Alex, turning red with rage, "Thomas is a lying, cheating bastard!"
     He slumped on to the couch, sobbing into his hands. "Where's he at?" Screamed Angie, getting up off the couch, "I'm gonna kill that little-" herc sat her back down and put a hand on Alex's shoulder.
     "Alex, tell us what happened," herc said, sitting down next to him. We all gathered around him, awaiting his answer.
     "He was making out with James," Alex got in between sobs, "James had him pinned against the wall and they were kissing. I walked in on them, and James showed me texts proving Thomas never really loved me. He doesn't love me." Alex broke down again and all of us attempted to comfort him.
     "If it makes you feel any better," said Peggy, "Angie, Eliza and I can tp his dorm. That'll teach him to mess with you like that."
     "I'll go over there and punch him myself," said Angie, still fuming. We all gave him encouraging words, and eventually stopped crying. The sisters left and I sat down next to Alex.
     "Herc and I can walk you home," I said, softly patting his back, "and we'll help you gather up all his stuff so we can burn it tomorrow." He nodded, wiping away his tears. We walked him home in silence.
     "Thanks guys," said Alex, new tears forming in his eyes as we reached his dorm, "I really needed that."
     "That's what friends are for," I said, patting his shoulder comfortingly, "now get some sleep. You need it." He gently closed the door and walked away, still concerned for our friend.

Thomas' POV
-----------------------------------------------------------

     "Get out!" I screamed at James, "you know I wouldn't have sent those texts to Aaron! They were photo shopped."
     "I got them from Aaron himself," James yelled back, heading for the door. I would have to beat Aaron up later, but I was too tired to do anything tonight. I salammed the door as James walked out and collapsed onto my bed, exhausted and confused and hurt. I fell into a restless sleep, wondering what this meant for me and Alex.
