Together or Apart

Chapter 11 - Regret

C H A P T E R E L E V E N : REGRET

Jack's POV

"Thanks a lot!" I yell to Sam as she watches Scarlett storm out of the dorm room. Sam just walked in on a sex session, and she messed it up. What will she do with me now?, she's all I had to lose.

6 months after being together again, I already mess it up. Scarlett has to understand that I wasn't doing anything with Sam, but we're only roommates. I understand why she's so angry, but I didn't really lie to her. I never was able to talk or contact her that much.

I'm a horrible pity partier. As I'm cussing out Sam, I'm also thanking her. If she hadn't walked in, I probably would have never told Scarlett about Sam. And the worst part is that I have to tell Scarlett that Sam is an ex of mine - then she'll really think I did the dirty.

Having to deal with this regret makes me sick to my stomach. As I walked to the cafeteria, Derek was also sitting there alone.

"What's up?" I ask him.

"Look." He said as he pulled a ring from behind his back. "I'm proposing to my girlfriend tonight." He says.

"Are you going to get dressed?" I ask, considering he's not wearing slacks or anything dressy.

He looked at me weirdly and then soon walked away. It seemed as if everyone was getting married, or doing something great with their lives, maybe it was time I did something with mine as well - and I knew just who to talk to.

Scarlett's POV

"And so we were just doing the dirty, when another girl walks in." I say to Greg and Holden as Holden drives, and Greg is in the back.

"Considering what he did before, I'd think he was cheating on you." Greg suggested.

"Yeah, I know a cheater when I see one." Says Holden, of his past experiences.

"How will I ever trust him? He told me she was just a roommate."

"Well, did the room have any other man stuff?"

"I only saw girly stuff." I told them.

"Well either he is cheating on you and she keeps her stuff there, or she really is his roommate." Greg calls out from the backseat.

"If only he didn't bail about getting a car the first week we were here. I would have been able to go to his college and see his environment, none of this would have happened." I say as I cry in my own hands. Maybe this was my fault, but then again why would it be my fault I didn't cheat on him or lie to him. I did tell Holden about him as he felt my boobs.

"How about this, we go car searching right now." Greg suggested.

"At this time?" I ask

They both nodded their heads and drove off to a car dealership. I couldn't really say no because I wasn't driving the car. We arrived to Toyota and tried picking out a car, but I'm such a picky person.

But once I opened up my eyes and forgot the hurt I felt from Jack. I saw the car that was affordable and what I liked. It was black and just the perfect size.

As I tested out the drive of the car, Greg and Holden started to video tape me with my first car. Do I wish Jack was the one to share this moment with me? Yes, but unfortunately he's not really very enjoyable right now.

"Do you think you can drive his back to the dorm? We can always come back and pick it up later." Greg asked me as I got out of the car.

"Yes of course." I say as they both come over and hug me. They get into Holden's car as I also go into my new one. I get my things from Holden's car and see all the missed texts and calls from Jack.

As I start riding, I turn the radio on and burst the music. I let my hair down and rolled the windows as well. I burst into tears as I thought of all the things I regretted and did. I got calls and texts some after another. I didn't want to answer one being I knew it was from Jack two being I didn't want to really answer him or anyone for that matter.

Just as I was going to swipe my phone and silence the volume as my world went black.

Jack's POV

"Where is she? Is she okay?" I asked the nurse at the front office. I drove 1 hour to get to the hospital because Greg called me an hour ago, so basically I'm 2 hours behind from getting to her. The nurse pointed to a room and I ran there just to see Greg and Holden beside her. They were both holding her hand.

I wanted to be the one beside her. Holding her and telling her it's okay and she was just in a little car crash. And apparently she didn't need me, because she already had two other guys who were just as willing to be in my place. And with that I left.
