I’d probably stayed out there for hours… just crying. I would have gone to Gary but since he was already ill, I didn’t want to burden him with my problems… nor did I want him to worry about me anymore then he already did…and it would just make his condition worse anyways.
How stupid can I be? I thought I hadn’t fallen, but I guess I was wrong – wait no, that’s not possible, I can’t be – NO I’m Not. I refuse to admit to such a ridicules thing, besides… I’d only been here a month and a bit – it’s not possible to fall that hard in that small amount of time... erm… I think.
Lord, I was so wrapped up in my own misery that I didn’t even see or hear the approach of a group before they were knelt in front of me and I was staring into pale blue eyes. My breath caught in my throat as I flinched back away from the face that had appeared so suddenly in front of me – I glanced up as they sat up too, seeing Cody, Gary’s friend and the guy from the party, knelt before me and standing behind him was Sean and Timothy all dressed shirtless in swimming shorts – well, we were on a beach.
“Tristen? What are you doing here? Are ya alright?” Cody asked, placing a hand on my shoulder as I just stared at them… ugh my head felt so heavy… I just wanted to lie down again.
Sean and Cody shared a look when I didn’t answer and Sean came to kneel down too, brushing my cheek with his hand and I winced since the contact seemed to scratch my skin but I quickly realized it was the sand where I’d pressed my cheek into when I’d lied down. Great, I bet I looked just as bad as I felt.
I stared blankly at them for a moment before looking down feeling my heart crack again just remembering why I was there in the first place. Oh lord, my throat closed up as I chocked on a sob, darn it all, I’m so pathetic.
“Tristen?” Sean asked this time, placing his hand on my head, both he and Cody looked worried and kept asking me what was wrong until someone snorted. We all looked up to Timothy who remained standing and was staring down at me with disgust in his dark eyes.
“Just leave him alone, It’s not like he’s gunna tell ya what’s wrong anyways… Your both wasting your time” He stated, crossing his muscular arms over his tanned chest – it wasn’t as nicely tanned as Seth’s… dam, Why!? Why did have to think of Seth’s chest… and those… people… who – arhhhh.
I squeezed my eyes shut and brought my hands up to cover my face as I sobbed quietly again, someone placed their hand on my back, rubbing up and down comforting.
“Shut up Tim. No one asked for you opinion.” I heard Cody scowled Timothy who snorted and muttered something along the lines of ridicules before his feet retreated away.
“Come on Tristen, let’s get you back to the dorms” I felt hands take my arms and pull me up before one rested around my shoulders, comfortingly and began guiding me back.
Cody and Sean had taken me back and I hesitantly directed them to Gary’s room. When we had arrived Gary had been in bed but upon seeing me he had jumped up to take me into his strong arms quickly asking Cody and Sean what had happened though they couldn’t tell him… they didn’t know… and I didn’t really want to tell anyone.
After an hour off silent sobbing and gentle comforts I finally stopped crying and just lay upon Gary’s bed feeling slightly numb – though as soon as I thought about anything my mind jumped to Seth and pain shot through my chest and down my arms and legs. So I chose to not think, or move, or talk…
Cody and Sean had left not much later and Gary had stayed by my side as I lied there and eventually slept… I couldn’t even open up to Gary I felt that bad I felt so… foolish.
