Falling for my roommate

4️⃣8️⃣

Her eyes fluttered open and she took a moment to look around, ignoring the throbbing in her head.

Her eyes settled on the sleeping boy who was currently holding onto her and she frowned. She had no memory of the night before and she had no idea how she had ended up in this situation.

Her initial feeling was anger. She had made Thomas promise not to take advantage of her and yet he still had.

He squinted as he opened his eyes before looking around with worry clear on his face. "Shit," He grunted.

He had planned to sneak out before she woke up, she wasn't supposed to find out that he shared a bed with her.

She shoved him away from her forcefully and he gripped at the edge of the bed, trying to keep himself from falling off of it.

"What was that for!?" He yelled.

"You said you wouldn't fucking do it! I was such an idiot for trusting you. Of course you'd break your promise!" She yelled at him.

He rubbed his eyes, "I didn't do anything. You practically begged me to stay here with you last night."

She frowned, "I did what?"

"Yeah. You started crying in the back garden then you made me carry you home. I put you to bed and took off your makeup and then when I tried to leave you kept asking me to stay, so I did," he explained.

She stared at him in shock for a few minutes, "Why was I crying?"

He shrugged, "I don't know," He lied.

She gave him a pointed look, "We both know that whenever I'm drunk I talk way too much. There's no way I didn't tell you what was wrong."

"You were crying about your dad..." He said, leaving out the fact that she was also crying about her being raped and her eating disorder.

She gave him a pointed look, "I know you aren't telling me everything."

He sighed, his eyebrows knitting together, "And about the guy who raped you."

She stayed silent, looking at her hands. It felt as if a lump had formed in her throat that prevented her from speaking.

He reached for her arm in an attempt to comfort her but she quickly pulled her arm away from him, "Don't touch me."

He watched her uncertainly before pulling himself out of her bed.

She took in his almost naked state and found her eyes glued to his abs.

He coughed to get her attention and she looked up at him with a blush on her face. "Take a picture, it'll last longer," He told her, using the words she had said to him the day before against her.

She rolled her eyes and also got out of the bed, noticing that she was wearing pajamas. She sighed to herself, knowing that she should've realized that earlier.

A pang of guilt hit her once she realized that she had been so cruel to Thomas and blamed him for taking advantage of her even though all he had been doing was helping her. It occurred to her that he had probably spent the night before comforting her as she cried.

"You're welcome, by the way," he said with a scoff.

She watched as he stormed out of the room before following after him quickly.

"Listen, I'm sorry okay?" She mumbled, grabbing his forearm.

He turned around to face her angrily, "How could you think I'd do that to you? I would've never, ever, do anything to a girl without their consent." Especially you.
