BROKEN

chapter 27

I was walking down the corridor to Jason's dorm, when I nothing different about today . People were just moving along with their day , ignoring everyone else , indulged in their own worries. But all were just whispering something in each other's ear and laughing , staring me as I passed them . It was definitely something going in , but I don't know what.

When I entered the room , jason wasn't alone but brett and amelia were there with him .

"Hey "brett waved as soon as our eyes met and I ignored him for not telling me all that was going on and me getting the news from amelia as I walked past him and stood near Jason, kissing him .

"I am sorry , eva . It was not wholly my fault though , you never attented the party and I was so busy in the preparations , it all was so sudden . "He continued when i decided to forgive him . After all it was actually my fault , I don't know why he is feeling guilty. But I am not gonna tell him that .

I hugged him him and suddenly everything felt right . We sat there for two long hours discussing our results and our plans for their wedding .

After our stupid games and conversations we decided to leave for lunch as we girls were starving .

" where do you wanna go ?" Jason asked looking at us all .

"Taco bell "I squealed , I was really in a mood for a taco as it has been days I have had any .

"Okay , here we go " brett screamed as a child pushing the accelerator.

"Afterall we are back , after all that shopping added by amelia and brett to our little taco trip ."I said, as we entered the dorm .

We walked and sat on the bed and I grabbed little women , which I was reading for the tenth time when Jason asked .

"Ev , can I ask you something ? " I never knew my name can get shorter .

" I was going to ask that too , but you go first . "

"No its fine, you go first , mine can wait . "

Just when I was going to ask him my phone rang and it was les , but this I'd decide dto let her wait, i really wanted to ask if jason will....

"Okay i will go first , do you and tom share a past together . " why would he think that ...I thought as he asked me snapping me back from my thoughts.

"Why would you think that, did anyone said something to you ?"

"No , bit you remember that night in hospital . When you mom you know. "How can I forget that?"

"Obviously " I replied .

"I saw the way you were talking to tom and the way he was staring you when......

"when? ."i screamed before he can complete his sentence, a drop of tear left my eyes and i turned into me sobbing heavily.

"what do you want then? I swear jason its nothing that's going between tom and me. But I cant convince you if you dont trust me . Okay ?" I could have pleaded him to believe me into the fact that I dont even like to meet tom , but I can't. It's like I would me pleasing him to forgive me for the mistake I haven't committed.

"I am not asking you to plead me , that's a really big word . I am just asking you to clear the fact if you feel the dosage for him he does for you . "

"What the hell are you talking . He doesn't feel anything for me , he is with les and more than happy we two are together . "

"Are you jealous of leslie, is this the kind of person you are ?" Jason said .

"Have you gone mad? I mean she is my best friend . I can never be jealous of her . "I fired back .

"Well , you know that . But I am just saying what I feel like . You are jealous of les I dont know why , but I feel like you are . I also don't know what tom feels for you and waht you have for him in your mind, but what is it , tell me now . "

I don't know how to deal with this , I was going to ask him to move in with me and never suspected that tom would be becoming a barrier between is . I don't k ow if he has also said something , because I dont thinkf that just the way he was looking at me can make jason so upset and ....freaky .

I decide to leave the fight in between and stormed straightour of his room to meet le s. Only she can make this clear now and can explain to jason that nothing is going between me and tom .

I reached their hotel .

"Uhm , I am looking for miss leslie jones . She is a friend of mine , staying in room no. 430 . "I enquired the receptionist as she started searching in her register .

"Sorry to inform mam , but they checked out an hour ago . "They? Who was staying with les and why didn't she told me about her company ?

"I tried to call les number of times , but all of my efforts were in vain . She was bot responding . I even tried to call tom . But none of them responded. I never thought jason and me would be the couple having a fight over such a petty issue . But I guess this was it , I will go back and try to make everything okay .

I entered Jason's room and he was sleeping tjeri in his small be d , I decided not to trouble him but he woke up as I entered,. Je was all set to run from there as soon as as he saw me . But fortunately , I got hold of him .

"Jason , can I ask you something ? "I asked him, I don't know why but I think that tom staring me isn't the only reason of him being so distant . He nodded and grabbed his coffee cup , comforting himself in the little couch beside his bed, that I never had noticed before .

"Okay , you are right tom staring at you isn't the only reason I am upset . Rumour has it that you slept with him . " rumour has it , what is it hollywood ? And I am not one of  those  famous  people and tom is not even in this college. Why would anyone even say that ?

I never have paid attention to stupid rumours . We all know they lie , made by individual not able to survive within spice of their own life , idle enough to mess with others .

"So what it's just a rumour . What's the problem, we can always learn to live with them as long as are aware of the truth. "

"The problem is that I believe it to be true enough . "He said those words and I no longer held the power to talk . There was the feeling of emptiness in the place where feelings stay . I was not even able to cry . I tried , trust me . But no teardrop was ready to leave my eye , not even one . I was in a state of shock , I didn't wanted to stay there , not anymore ,but I wasn't able to move . A rumour wouldn't have mattered but he did . The way he was still standing confidently there, made my heart and head throb million times more painfully . Now I just wanted to run far away . How could he trust this stupid thing . When I was falling for him , all what he was thinking was about a stupid rumour?
