|No one's POV|
Jack and Bell avoided each other since the fight, or Bell avoided Jack after the fight. She would just run away from him when he would get near her or even just him be around the corner. He was breaking without her. Shutting down. And so was she. She would never admit it but, everyone could see it and they could also see how much they needed each other.
The morning rose and Bell quietly closed her door to not wake Sue and headed to the girls bathroom in short sky blue shorts, short sleeve, grey sponge Bob shirt and thongs. She rubbed her eyes a few times and yawned along the way. She shut her eyes for a second then opened them again to be met with familiar icy blue ones. She jumped back falling over onto the cold ground. She groaned and looked up and her hazel eyes slightly widened. Jack. "Oh no..." She mumbled to herself.
"Shit, sorry... Bell." Her reached his hand out to help her. She refused and got up by herself and brushed herself off. "Alright..." He put his hand back to his side and stood there awkwardly. Bell looked at him, studying him and boy, did he look good. His white, gorgeous hair all messy, sticking out in all directions, his shirt hung lose showing his collarbone and some of his pale smooth skin, baggy Pj pants and bare feet. Bell looked away, not wanted to fall for him again even though she had already fallen for him and was unable to get back up.
"So," she started. "I'm going to be going." She walked past him.
He grabbed her wrist. She let out a gasp from his sudden movement and tight hold. She looked at his hand and back up to his eyes. They were closed. "I can't keep doing this Bell," he opened his eyes, grip staying. "I can't act like I don't know you. I need you in my life and that doesn't have to be in a relationship because I know after what I did to you, you probably don't want that," he paused. Bell just listening, not moving a muscle. "But, I still want you, in my life. So, can we at least be friends?" He stared into her eyes. Bell just stared for a moment then nodded.
"Y-Yeah, okay..." Bell said, wanting to be with him again. He gave her a small smile and released his grip on her. She rubbed her wrist and stared at the ground. "I'm, um, I'm gonna go now..." She started walking away.
"Bell," she looked over her shoulder. "I just want you to know, I still love you." She swallowed a lump in her throat and gave him a small nod and kept walking. He let a sigh escape his lips and looked at the ground and walked back to his dorm room.
He opened his dorm room door and shut it. "How'd it go?" Jack looked at Carl who was on his bed tapping away on his phone. Jack ruffled his hair.
"Okay I guess. Were friends at least." Jack walked over to his bed laying on his back. Carl watched him.
"You still love her right?" Carl asked. Jack shut his eyes and sighed.
"Yeah, I do..."
"You tell her that?" Jack lifted his head to look at Carl.
"Of course."
"Well," Carl turned off his phone and threw it across his bed. "Does she still love you?" Jack laid his head back down and stared at the ceiling.
"I don't know..."

Bell's thongs flapped as she ran down the hall back to her room. She groaned and threw her thongs off and put them in her hand and continued running until her head collided with another sending Bell backwards. She stubbled and fell on the floor swinging her head back and hitting it on the hard ground "Ow..." She rubbed the back of her head and looked up to see Rosie rubbing her head glaring at her.
"Do you mind?!" She took a step closer to Bell, towering over her.
Bell just shrugged her off and got up. "Didn't do it on purpose so calm down..."
