Chapter 4: I always thought of you more as a dog, or a bitch to be precise

Mystery POV

Waiting outside my dorm tonight's events raced through my mind, I felt a pang of hurt followed by jealousy but in the end all I felt was anger. She'd thought it was him, she'd looked right into his eyes as I laid on the floor watching.

She'd seen their entire futures, their lives together and smiled while I felt my life crumbling. But the look of pure hurt on her face was carved into my brain, it haunted my thoughts and I felt like destroying everything that would even come come to hurting her.

Not realising my clenched fists had my nails digging into my palms I was quick to release them as the door opened and Noella stepped out.

"She was practically naked so if I were you I wouldn't look underneath that god awful shirt" she smirked from the door as she walked across the hall towards her room.

"Oh come on, it's comfortable"

"Style over comfort is my motto"

"Whatever. Thanks Noel, I owe you one" I chuckled, sliding back up the wall to regain my balance.

"Maybe you should buy me a drink and explain why there's an unconscious girl lying in your bed and you had to call me at 2 in the morning to change her out of her clothes because you were too worried she'd get cold in the night" she mocked me at my worrying state. But I could see the curiosity dancing in her eyes.

"Then we'll call it even." She gave me a sarcastic smile which I returned.

"How long has she been here for?" She questioned me, her curiosity finally giving in.

"A couple of hours"

"And you decide to call me now, when I was in the middle of my beauty sleep" she deadpanned as her brows raised in judgment.

"You definitely need it" she rolled her eyes at my statement.

"Wait so-"

"Tomorrow Noel, I do owe you a drink anyway" I cut her off.

"Oh come on that's all you're gonna give me? I'm dying to know how you got yourself into such a predicament, you know you the infamous bad girl on campus and all"

"Are you seriously pinning that against me right now?"

She just shrugged in response and continued to look at me expectantly, awaiting an answer.

"Haven't you ever heard curiosity killed the cat?"

"But satisfaction brought it back" she spoke out of her cheeky smile, sending a humoured one to my face as well.

"Hmmm I always thought of you more as a dog, or a bitch to be precise" I fired back, our sarcastic smiles returning to our faces.

"Haha you're hilarious, anyway I get that you're gay and all but did I really have to be the one to change her." she remarked slyly.

"Tomorrow Noella" I smirked at her, waving a goodbye to signal the end of our conversation before we both turned around to return to our rooms for a much needed sleep.

I got up, cracking my neck after my uncomfortable sleep on the couch and turned to see Elle shivering. Quickly getting up I reached for the blanket, ready to place a warmer one underneath it.

Pulling the blanket back I was met with a surprising sight, after rolling around so much in her sleep her shirt had rolled up slightly, leaving little to the imagination.

Pulling her shirt down I grabbed the blanket and made sure to cover every inch of her body as I sped to the shower. Stripping down I stepped in and immediately turned the water on cold, I tried to relax as I let the almost freezing water run down my body.

My thoughts seemed to race through my brain faster than the water did my body. Stepping out I plunged my face into my towel trying to regain my posture before walking out to introduce myself to the girl I was meant to spend my life with.

Rogue thoughts of keeping the truth from her seemed to be stopping me from leaving the bathroom, but after telling myself that it's meant to be I plucked up the courage to walk out, only to be greeted by an empty room.
