I woke up in a jump. Where am I? I didnt recognize the room which I was in. There where a pile of school books on one of the beds, and a school shirt on another. This was clearly a girl's room, no guys room would have this many clothes on the floor. I sat up slowly, I was laid on the bed closest to the door, so i wouldn't have to go far to be out; but unfortunately it was late, or early, I wasn't quite sure, all sense of what's happening was gone for me, so if I left teachers would see me.
A soft groan came from next to me. Was that a girl!? I rolled over slowly to a brown haired girl next to me, pressed against the wall as if she was trying to give me space. I couldn't see her face, and I wasn't prepared to look.
"Nick?" A girl whispered from the other side of the room.
The girl sat up and turned on her light next to her bed. It was Beth, I suppose the party had ended. I tried to sit up fully but forgot about the hard hit I had, had on the back of my head.
"Ahhh, my head is killing me", Beth jumped out of her bed and brought me a drink.
"Here drink this. You had a nasty hit there Nick", she said as she helped me up to drink.
"What even happened? How long have I been out? Where am I?", I said, almost too quite for Beth to hear.
"I'll tell you when your better, for now. Rest", she pushed me down back onto the bed gently.
I surrendered and laid down to rest.
"Beth, who's this?", I said pointing at the brown haired girl next to me.
But she didn't say anything, she just smiled and went back to bed.
I woke up a few hours later. My body was heavy and tired. When I lifted my arm I noticed I could not move it, it felt like there was something heavy around me, like rope. It was over my legs too, it was heavy and my tired body couldn't seem to budge it. As my eyes slowly adjusted to the light I noticed it wasnt rope, but it was an arm, and over my legs where someone else's leg. It must have been the girl next to me, she must have rolled over in her sleep. As if clarifying what I thought I felt her breathe against me neck, it was like a sigh which people do when in deep sleep. Not knowing what to do I laid there.
"Nick? Are you awake?" The girl whispered into my ear.
Her voice almost sounded familiar, but was differnt from just waking up.
I nodded slowly "mhm"
Then like that all of the sudden she began to do a gentle sob against my neck, her tears rolled down and fell into my shirt.
"I was so worried about you", her voice cracked slightly as she said 'you'.
From the other side of the room I heard Beth stand up and come over.
"Hannah? Are you okay?" Hannah? This girl was Hannah?
She sat up and allowed me to move. As she sat up she came into the light, and it was her. Her eyes sparkling from tears. She looked down at me and smiled slightly; the same smile she gave to me when she gave me her number. It was such a beautiful smile.
"How's your head big boy?", Beth asked jokingly as she helped me sit up.
"Just lovely", i mumbled under my breathe.
Hannah and Beth both giggled at that. I pushed my hair back off my face.
"God, what time is it?"
"10:07", replied Beth.
I laid back down, not knowing Hannah was right behind me. I fell back onto her knees. Immediately she began to play with my hair, as if she knew it would make me relaxed.
"You two better not start making out over there. Barf", Beth shouted at us.
I shock my head slowly as a way of me showing that it wasn't funny. I closed my eyes, my head really hurt, but honestly Hannah was helping a lot. She was being careful not to touch the bit I had hurt.
She bent down and gently kissed my forehead, "I was so worried Nick", she whispered down to me.
I opened my eyes and looked at her, and all of the sudden last night came flashing back. Her kissing another guy. I sat up suddenly.
"Are you okay?", she asked, actually sounding worried.
"Last night.."
"Nick. I'm sorry but I can expl-"
"Theres nothing to explain", i said, cutting her off.
With that I stood up and headed towards the door.
"Beth? Which way to my dorm?"
"Left then straight on. Nick, Hannah had a good rea-".
But I didn't hear. I was already out of the door and walking down the corridor. I couldnt stay any longer. It wasnt right, she doesn't need an excuse, our kiss didn't mean anything but pity for both of us. Soon I was at my dorm room. Josh fast asleep, and Theo in a corner. That bastard hit me last night. I walked over and pulled him from his bed and on to the floor.
"Wake the fuck up", I shouted as I kicked him.
His body jerked back as he woke up.
"What the fuck bro", he shouted back at me as he staggered to his feet.
"You hit me!", I said as I swung for him.
I hit him right in the jaw, but not hard enough to get him down. He ran at me and pushed me down, but I got my knee under him so he got kicked as he fell. Rushing to keep him down I climbed over him and pinned him down.
"You just gotta fuck it all up don't you?!" I hit him hard. And again, but this time hard.
I was letting my emotions get to me, i hit him again hard enough to make him bleed. As I went to hit him again I felt three pairs of hands pull me back, over my shoulder was Josh and two other guys who sleep next door. I kicked out, hoping to get him again, but failed. They pulled me back completely off him. I was too far away to hit him so I finally relaxed and let them pull me away. People rushed in to make sure Theo was okay, one of them being Hannah. She gave me a glace, her face covered with regret, then walked out of the room.
