My hot roommate

Daniel

     I hear the alarm on my phone go off. I usually wake up at four but last night I decided to set my alarm at 5:00 AM. I only wake up in the morning for my morning running/jog. I turned it off and heard a grunt, I turned to a sleepy looking Bryce sitting up, "did you set up your alarm at-" he glanced at the clock,"5:01am?" He asked, "yeah I gotta go for my morning run. Let's go" I say.
"Why? Because you want to keep watching my hot body?" He says smirking
"No its because 1 if there is a serial killer I'll tell him to kill you first 2 because if I get lost I don't want to be alone and 3 because you really need to work out, you are fat as a pig" I say, and he mocks being shocked
"Did you just call me a pig? Have you seen yourself in a mirror. Oops never mind I remember...you broke it while you were trying to look at yourself. And the serial killer won't want to kill you anyways because 1 you are ugly as fuck and 2 because he will feel bad for you and let you live" he says. "whatever. let's get going" I say.

I change into a sports bra and running shorts and I wear my Nikes.
"Bryce you ready" I yell outside the door.
"Yeah coming"

******

"That was a good run" he says
"Yeah"
"You know any places here?" I ask.
We were just got back from the run and I showered and paired a black crop top with my white shorts. And white and black low tops Adidas
"Yeah. A beautiful place. Wanna go?"
"Sure" I say
He leads the way across campus and into the woods.
"Are you trying to kill me and throw me into the woods so I can never be found?"
"I would've done it when we were running today" he grins. Once we get to the place my jaw drops

   3 words. This. Is. Amazing.
Before he brought me here I grabbed my mini insta  picture camera.
     The view is amazingly beautiful. There is a see through water river and a huge, tall rock in the middle.
I shot a picture and one of the films cane out. "Can I see?" Bryce asks, "you have to wait till all the image shows up" I tell him.
     We sit in a small rock and Bryce grabs a camera and hands it to me telling me to shoot a picture of him. I do and wait for that image to show. We sit and watch the water drift further and further ahead. We sit there for five minutes till I feel him intertwine our fingers together. I look down at my hands and see how they look similar to his hands and i's before the incident. I become nervous not because he is cute and I may like him but because I am not ready to like him.
    I grab my hand back and gather the pictures and my camera and run and when I say run I run as fast as possible back to our dorm room. When I get to the 3rd floor I run in the halls and bump into Sady, "why are you crying?" She asks. I am, didn't even notice. "Can I talk to you and hear out your opinion?" I ask, "doest it involve Bryce?" She asks. How'd she know?
"Yeah" I sob out
"Is it a problem between you 2?" She asks. What is this? A murder scene interrogation?
"Yeah" I say
"Well I am afraid to tell you to talk to him first then me. I am not getting involved in this before you guys talk" she says. Ugh. U go around her and dont look back.

     Once I am inside my room. Correction our room. I look at my box of memories and find his picture. Daniel Cortez was written on the polaroid, in the bottom with a heart next to it. And on the photo were Danny and I him hugging me from behind kissing my cheek with his eyes closed, me smiling at the camera. I sobbed at the memory of us. Our ship name: Dolly. At our relationship that ended because of me. At how much I loved him. At the memory of when it ended.
Then i look at the picture I took like 20 minutes ago of Bryce smiling at the camera. And I sob. At how he held my hand. At how perfect he is. At how happy he looks. At how nice he is. At us. And those were angry tears and sobs.
Bryce bursts through the door. And looks at me holding the pictures but doesn't look at them. "I am sorry. I should have never held your hand." I look at him. "Why are you crying. Dont cry please. We need to talk" He says, "Tell me because I know there is something behind this"
I sit on my bed and he sits next to me
"1 year ago..."
