Who's Mans Is This?

Maurice -

If there was any words used to describe me, it was impatient, and worrisome. I was crying already because of Jay, and I was trying to hurry up and find DeAndre. This bus wasn't mining fast for me, but what else could I do? I don't have a car, and walking would have took longer.

Shit......how did I let things get this terrible between everyone. If Demi had just shit the fuck up...

Sigh. It doesn't matter now. What's done is done. All I could do was apologize.

As the bus stopped outside of the college entrance, I nearly got thrown into the windshield trying to stand up and run to the door as it came to a stop. I regained my balance and hopped off the bus and began sprinting. It's no telling what DeAndre is about to do. He was really upset about this. I hope he doesn't hurt himself...what the fuck am I saying, he's tough. He won't do something dumb like that. But still, I know how I would have acted if shit like this happened. Him having to hang around someone he likes a lot. That must be demoralizing. Which is why I have to find him.

I made it to the basement floor of my dorm building. I swipe my key card and rush into the building.

WHAM.

I slammed into my RA, knocking the laundry out of his hands.

"Oww." He exclaimed.

"Sorry," I said getting up and running. I slammed my finger in the elevator button before the door closed and got in.

"4...5...6..." 7. I hop out and run to my room, I open the fort and in it-

Empty. There was no crying, no yelling, No Dee. Shit. I'm too late.

I turned to walk out, only to run into Dee's chest. Almost like the first day we met.

"..."

"..."

Silent. After coming all of this way, I had nothing to say. I didn't know what to say. It was all so.... surreal.

"I'm so-

He held up a white slip in my face.

"Can you sign this?"

I grab the paper, looking at it, studying it. I got really silent, too.

"What is this?" I said, my voice shaky, anxiety high.

"Change of Room form. After you sign this, we won't be roommates anymore."

Jay-

An hour earlier

"DEMI WHY DID YOU DO THAT?!" Maurice exclaimed. He was going ape shit for had Demi did to him. Honestly, I wanted to go crazy on his ass too, but that's not me anymore. I was disappointed in Demi though.

However, there was something that I had to do that I should have done a long time ago.

"I was just messing with him!" Demi exclaimed, defeating his bullshit. He had braces himself for a hit because Mar was going in. This nigga was on 100.

"Messing with someone and playing with their feelings are two different things!! Dammit, why couldn't you just shut the fuck up!"

"Don't get your bitch ass punched, little nigga. I'll wreck your shit,"

"Square up, bitch-"

"GUYS." I said. Those two had completely forgotten that we were both in the middle of a fucking mall. People were staring at us as they walked past, some had even completely stopped to see the drama. And I was not one for drama. Still, I need to do what I have to do.

I grabbed Mar's hand and turned him towards me. "Mar...I'm going to ask you something and you have to be completely honest with me. Because if not, I will bust your fucking lip open right now." I said. Mar's face went into questionable fear. So questionable I couldn't help but laugh. He was too cute. "Do you like DeAndre? Yes or no?"

"....I never gave it any real thought..I don't know." He said. And I could tell from his tone that he was telling the truth. And this is why I love this boy. So simple and yet so kind hearted. I grabbed his face and pulled him closely. This had to be the most passionate kiss I have ever gave someone. This person taught me how to love again with my heart. He helped rebuild me. Now I owe it to him to help him search for what he really wants in his. I gave him the tightest hug I could.

"I love you so much, Maurice. But you have to filibuster out what you want before we can ever be together - if we are ever together - again. Now go fix your shit with your roommate." As I spoke these words, I felt my shoulder getting wet. I felt his body tremble in my arms...something I thought I would never have to feel. But I had to do so. For his sake and DeAndre's. They both deserve better. "Just know that I wail always love you."

I let him go, and he began walking. Fast walking.

"HURRY UP. HES WAITING FOR YOU!" I said. And he took off into a sprint.

As much as I wanted to cry, I couldn't. I still can't. I just let something great get away from me, and for what. I wish I could say it was over, but is it ever?

DeAndre-

I walked out of the room. I left Maurice and the slip in there as I made my way toward the elevator. Within the next week, more than likely,I won't see him anymore since we have classes on different ends of campus. And honestly, it's not him. Hits Him being with Jay...and Demi. If they can't look past this situation, it's just going to be problems everywhere. And if Mar chooses to be around them, I can't be around him.

...did I fuck up? Yeah.

But is my name redeemable?

END.
