Drunk & Sober : IN LOVE

Chapter 5

April's POV:

He looked afraid but more angry. I knew it was them who did something to him even when he denied to tell me what exactly happened.

He just sat on the bed folding his legs and staring out of the window deep in thought. I have known Rex for years but I have never seen him like this and for some reason it made me frightened.

I have seen him getting bullied by his own pals but Rex being Rex never raised a voice and this made him a coward in front of everyone. But I knew this was it.

I couldn't let him be this vulnerable now when he is in a new city. He has an opportunity to act how he wants to be known by people and I don't want people to think that they can do shit with him and get away with it.

I pulled my crocs from under the table and opened the door before looking at him one last time. He was so engrossed in 'I don't know what' that he didn't even notice that I was leaving.

I hurried my way to his room expecting to face those nasty people out there. I wanted to know what they did and how dare they lay a finger on him.

I opened the door and to my expectations they all were lying in different directions of the room. As soon as they saw me Austin being the son of a bitch had the audacity to speak first.

"Hey look who's here! The moron's nanny ready to beat up our asses for making him drink." When I heard the latter part of his sentence I could feel the ground beneath my legs shifting.

Shit. I came there to put some sense into their useless brains but after listening to whatever Austin said I rushed back running to my room.

Now when I entered I could see those tears shining on his cheeks under the moonlight falling from the window. I went straight to him and hugged him tight.

"Hey! It's fine. It isn't your fault. You did not do it intentionally." It took him minutes until he submitted to let those tears out and hugged me even tighter.

"I failed her April. I broke my promise." "Ssshhh...Calm down Rex. They did it to you. And you are here at the dorm. Nothing will happen. I am here with you and I am not leaving."

I then called Sophie, my roommate to ask her if she can manage her stay with her boyfriend for that night and to my luck she agreed. I sat next to Rex when he laid on the bed holding my hand tightly as if something was to take him away.

I could see how disappointed he was and I hated myself for not being there with him at that point.

Rex's POV:

The next day when I woke up it took me a minute to realize that I was in April's room. I turned around to see if she was there and I found her sleeping on her roommate's bed.

It was already 6:30 so I got up from the bed quickly and went straight to April's side to wake her up. I was feeling knots in my stomach at the mere thought of going to my room and still finding them there.

But I knew I couldn't ignore them for a long time as I even shared some of my classes with a few of them. I nervously made my way to my room and when I opened the door I was on cloud nine to see that there was noone in there.

I hurriedly took my clothes from the cupboard and went in the bathroom to take a quick shower. As soon as I returned after a bath I was surprised to see Rebekah there.

Rebekah's POV:

When I came to his room it was empty. I was about to leave when I heard the shower running.
