The Experience ~discontinued~

Chapter 3

Rocky POV
________________
We all sat there eating pizza at Papa's Pizza. S. Coups got along with Eliza better than he did with Taylor. Hoshi really liked Taylor, but he didn't want to hurt Eliza's feelings, so he acted like he was fine. I could tell everyone was ok but wished they were somewhere else. Hoshi wanted I be with Taylor, and S. Coups wanted to be with Eliza. But Vernon and I, we were great where we were.
It was 7:00 and we all needed to go back home. Luckily we all lived in the same apartment complex so we walked home, together.
Vernon and I fell way behind of everyone else... on purpose. I linked my arm with his as we walked. I looked up at him every minute or so and he just looked forward. I pecked his cheek to get his attention, and when I did he touched his cheek and looked at me with a surprised face.
"What did you do that for?"  I was disappointed with his reaction.
"I.... it...... uh...." I could find anything to say. I was embarrassed. I took my arm away from his and walked with my head down.
"I need to tell you something." He said after a minute.
"Sure." I said plainly.
"Sit down here." He said pointing to a bench. I obeyed and he sat next to me. He brooks deep breath, "I have......" he paused and started to tear up, "have a g-girlfriend." I sat there shock with what he just said.
I stood up and faded him. "Really?" He nodded. "You know," I paused then said, "you are a real jerk." He looked at me with a surprises face. I tried really hard not to cry. I turned around and started walking, but something grabbed my wrist. I looked at what it was and just as i thought, it was Vernon's hand. I looked up at him. He looked like he was about to cry. I already felt a tear fall down the side of my face. He pulled me close really quick, and kissed me before I could stop him. At first I did nothing, but I remembered how fun tonight was. I eventually responded, and more tears built up. I don't know why I was crying, but I can't get what he said about him having a girlfriend out of my head. I pushed my self away and tried to get out of his grip. I failed and that only made me cry more.
"You didn't let me finish." He took a second to catch his breath and I did the same. "I was planning on breaking up with her, even before I met you."
"Why didn't you tell me before?" I asked him with puffy eyes from crying before.
"I didn't know how. I couldn't just walk up to you and say, 'hey! I have a girlfriend, want to go out?' " I paused for a second.
"No. But you could have talked to me. Told me it was important. And I would have listened." I walked away and once again, lots of tears started to fall. I looked back and Vernon was sitting on a bench with his head in his hands.

Eliza POV
______________________
I was walking with Hoshi but I eventually fell behind because he tried to catch up to Taylor. I was walking alone for only a second when I felt someone's arm rubbing against my arm as we walked. I looked over and saw
S. Coups. He gave a sweet smile and I gave him one too. I stated to blush. It was really hard not to smile as much as I wanted.
"Hi." He said building the awkwardness.
"Hi." I said back.
"Did you have fun tonight?" He asked trying to make conversation.
"Uh, kinda." I responded. It got super awkward. We just kept walking. And eventually we were barely even walking. We went really slow.
By this time, he has managed to grab my hand, and persuade me to put my head on his shoulder. We were interrupted when I heard little cries. I turned my head around to look back and spotted Rocky. I immediately pulled out of S. Coups' hand and rushed over to her. I slid my arm around her shoulder, noticing Vernon wasn't with her. S. Coups came up behind me.
"Where is Vernon?" I asked trying to comfort her.
"I would t be s-surprised of he was with his g-girlfriend." She said through her tears. She collapsed on the bench next to her.
"Oh." S. Coups said. He looked down at Rocky, then kneeled down so he could sit with her. "He was going to break up with her. Even before he knew you. She was..." he stopped. I walked over and put my hand on his shoulder. He looked up at me and he had tears in his eyes. He smiled and looked back at Rocky and put his hand on her shoulder. "She forced him to do things he didn't want to do, and she cheated on him and said if he told, she would... punish, him." He exaggerated the word 'punish.' "He just got the courage to break up with her. I'm not sure what he is thinking right now." He sighed and stood up. I hugged him. Rocky stood up, "I need to go talk to Vernon. I'll be back." She stood and walked away. I smiled at S. Coups and he smiled at me. I linked our arms as we walked off.

I walked away from S. Coups and Eliza. I couldn't believe I didn't listen to Vernon. I want to make things right, but I need to tell him how sorry I am first. After a minute of walking, I got to the spot I left Vernon at. I looked around just for a second, but he wasn't there. I assumed he went back to the hotel. I got a cab, so I didn't have to walk, and went to the hotel.
I got there and everyone was sleeping, so I did the same.
The next day, we went to eat.... again. I kept an eye out for Vernon, but only spotted Taylor and Eliza. I walked over to them and asked if they knew where Vernon was staying.
"Ya! I stopped by S. Coups' room to say good bye, since his room was on the way to my room." Eliza told me.
"Can you bring me there? I couldn't find him last night." I asked.
"Sure." She agreed.
When we were all done with our breakfast, Taylor didn't want to go because she had plans with Hoshi. So Eliza and I just went our selves.
It wasn't long until Eliza said we were at his door. I took a deep breath and knocked. It was a second before the door opened and I saw S. Coups. He didn't have a shirt on...
"Oh! Hold on." He said when he saw me. When he came back to the door, he was wearing a shirt.
"Is Vernon here?" I asked.
"Ya wait." S. Coups responded. A few seconds later, he came back, "come in." He said plainly. I walked in and spotted Vernon sitting on the bed with his face in his hands. I sat down next to him, and when I looked over at S. Coups and Eliza, they stayed out in the hall and closed the door. I was about to put my hand on his shoulder, but I stoped myself and just put my hand in my knee.
"I'm sorry." I started. He looked at me with a black eye. I was surprised. "Who did that?" I asked.
"My girlfriend."
