Once I landed, I called Ethan and heard Jake yelling in the back, asking me if I was okay and such. I only laughed. After awhile of talking to him while getting all my things and taking a taxi to a hotel, I told him I was tired and I was probably going to sleep. I told him and Jake bye, telling them I'd call them after.

I laid on the bed and let out a sigh, feeling really tired. Allison didn't know I was here, or coming at all. I kind of wanted it to be a surprise.

I decided in a minute that I would surprise her tomorrow because I was seriously tired. I ended up falling asleep.

✿

The next morning, I woke up and took a shower, straightening my hair and wearing skinny jeans, boots, a sweater and a flannel with a jacket over it all. I grabbed my bag and phone, walking out of the room and after riding the elevator, walking out of the hotel.

I took a taxi to Allison's college. After about 20 minutes of riding, I arrived and got out after paying the driver. I looked and was a bit impressed. It was really cold here, even snowing a bit. I walked onto her campus and walked around a bit, before actually walking to the building she was in.

I walked down the halls and remember she was on the third floor. I decided to take the stairs because I was in no rush. I walked through the hall of the third floor till I seen her dorm. Room 316. I knocked on it and waited.

Someone was mid sentence when they answered it. But once they turned, they stopped and a shocked look on their face.

"TARA!" Allison screamed, running that small space over and hugging me.

"Hey Alli." I laughed, hugging her back.

"What the hell are you doing here?" She asked once she pulled away.

"I missed you?" I said questioningly with a nervous chuckle.

"What's wrong?" She said, looking at me with a stern look.

"Nothing. I did miss you though." I said, giving her a small smile.

"You're lying and I know, but let's go out for hot chocolate and maybe you'll tell me." She laughed, walking in her dorm and introducing me to her roommate quickly before closing the door and walking down the hall and soon out of the building.

We walked till we reached a small restaurant, we went to a booth and Alli ordered two hot chocolates then looked at me. "Okay, spill."

I sighed and looked at her. "I came to visit you before going home. I'm starting a little early on my winter break."

"A little early? Tara, winter break doesn't start for another 3 weeks." She said.

"Okay, maybe really early. I needed it." I said, crossing my legs in the booth.

"Why? What's wrong?"

"Well, I know you sent Calum to me a few weeks ago and well he came at the time I was drunk and not even stable. He brought me up to my room and such then that next day, I assumed that the person who helped me was Ethan because he was the only one who knew where my room was. But I was wrong, when I went to the field, it was Calum and I basically walked away but then he kind of kissed me and said how he wouldn't hurt me and loved me and yeah." I stopped as our hot chocolate came. I thanked the lady and took a slow sip.

"Okay, continue." She said, motioning me to go on.

"After that, we were good, hanging out and enjoying it. Then he took me on a date and it was a great date, amazing actually. At the end of it he asked me to be his girlfriend and gave me this necklace then dog tags that had the date of when we first met and the day he asked me out. It was exactly three years from when we met. Anyhow, it was all good after that, even better. Then when I went back to classes."

"Wait, stop, why did you stop going to classes?" She asked, raising an eyebrow.

"We had sex the night he asked me out and I hurt a lot, so I didn't go to class for about a week." I said quietly.

"Oh." She said, wiggling her eyebrows. "Go on."

"Then one day, about maybe a week ago actually, he went to a party, I turned him down because I had a lot of work to do. My roommate also went and I shut her down. It was about midnight, when I left the room and went to Ethan's dorm to get help with one of the assignments. It was around 3 in the morning when I went back to my dorm and kind of walked in on Julie, my roommate, having sex with someone." I took a deep breath and looked down to my cocoa.

"I packed my stuff and decided to stay with Calum since it was a bit awkward. But I guess they were done, because the lamp light went on and she said my name, when I turned around to look at her. I -" I paused, remembering it and closing my eyes. "I seen Calum in bed with her.." I felt a tear roll down my cheek and I wiped it. "I left before he said anything and went to Ethan's, crying. I ended up staying there and -" I started to cry a bit. "He cheated on me. With my roommate. And I just couldn't." I was in tears already, thinking back to it.

"Oh my god. Tara." She moved over and hugged me. "I'm going to fucking kill him and your stupid whore of a roommate."

I shook my head. "I'm not done with the story." I sniffled and continued. "I went to party the next day and brought Ethan and his roommate with me. After a few drinks, I went to the bathroom, when I came out, I bumped into Calum. He apologized again but when I tried to get away he pulled me back and kissed me. I melted and we soon ended up in a room and I woke up the next morning in bed with him. I left before he woke up. After that, I had coffee with Ethan and told him all about it, then told him I was leaving. He and Jake, his roommate helped me pack and they brought me to the airport and now I'm here." I looked at her with tears still my eyes. "Telling you how fantastic my life is." I said sarcastically.

"You should have called and told me, I would have been there to kick his ass." She said, hugging me again. "You don't know how pissed off I am with him right now. I really want to kill him."

I pulled away after awhile.

"So no one but Ethan and Jake know you're here?" She asked, moving her cup to her and taking a sip.

I nodded.

"How long are you staying?"

I shrugged, "Not too long, I'm going to go home and maybe stay there for awhile."

"How long is awhile Tara?" She asked.

I took a sip of my cocoa and looked at her, "About a month."

"Then I'm going to go home with you."

"No Alli, you don't have to." I said.

She shook her head, "No, I'm coming. I'm not taking no for an answer."
