Everytime

Chapter Two

3:24 A.M
I slowly opened my eyes. My sleep was interrupted by banging once again.
"No fucking way" I mumbled. I rubbed the sleep out of my eyes and waited a moment. I was trying to fully comprehend what was happening before I made any irrational decisions. I listened for another five minutes. I intended on ignoring it, until I heard loud moans. They could have been mistaken for being in my bed with me. I crawled out of bed, threw on a super big sweatshirt and my slippers. I stormed down the stairs, unlocked our door and yanked it open. I walked 2 feet to the right and knocked on the door. After about two minutes of waiting, the door opened. A tall boy answered. He wore a beanie, a black t shirt and black jeans with holes throughout them.
"So, where's the roommate of yours that is banging their bed into the wall" I said with a smile. He probably thought I was psychotic.
"Well nice to meet you, I'm Jay" he said sticking his hand out. I looked down at him then back at him.
"May I come in?" I said with a smile.
"Um- yeah, sure?" He said as more of a question. I walked in and looked around. There was only a few people in the house.
"So, again, would you mind showing me to the asshole who's banging his bed into the wall?" I asked. Jay looked at his friends.
"It's probably Austin" one of them said, and they all agreed.
"I don't think Austin would want me to take you to his room though" Jay said, he sounded a bit nervous.
"Mhm" I hummed, batting my eyes and smiling. At that moment I heard a loud bang once again. I turned and pushed my way through Jay and walked up the stairs.
"Austin" I yelled as I walked up the hall. I was mainly looking for the room on the left side because my room is in the right.
"Austin" I yelled again. I got to the last door on the left and the creaked open. I man stood between the door and the frame so I couldn't see inside. He had on only a pair of grey sweatpants which hung loose around his hips, and that's it. His hair was in braids and his body was heavily tattooed, including his face.
"Do I know you?" He asked.
"We talked like once" I said in a sarcastic tone and rolled my eyes. He laughed.
"You're the one next to my room" he said with a smile.
"Mhm" I hummed with a smile again.
"I'm Austin" he said holding his hand out. I looked down at his tattooed hand and back at him.
"Yeah, I'm not touching that, I don't know where it's been" I scoffed. He set his hand down and stared at me blankly.
"It's past 3 am, you two have already gone at it for a long time tonight, would you mind calling it a night because I would very much enjoy a lick of sleep tonight" I said sternly.
"Oh baby girl, she ain't the girl from earlier he chuckled. Ew.
"Right, well, call it a night, I'm tired" I said
"Well that wouldn't be fair to her, I can't give one girl hours of my time then only give this one a few minutes" he said pouting his bottom lip.
"Just have her stay the night and continue tomorrow" I said, I spoke to him like he was stupid.
He laughed hard at that one.
"Nobody spends the night" he said, still laughing.
I crossed my arms.
"I think you're jealous" he said, now with a devious smirk playing his lips.
"Of?" I asked raising an eyebrow.
He turned around then looked at me once again.
"Well usually I'm out by 4:30, but I suppose I can make an exception for you, it would be the neighborly thing to do" he said still smiling.
"I'm definitely going to have to pass, just keep it down" I hissed.
"Mmmmmm no promises" he said, shooting me a wink. I rolled my eyes and walked away. I walked downstairs and looked at the group of guys were were sitting on the couch. They all looked at me.
"You all have a wonderful night" I smiled, opened the door then slammed it behind me. I went back to my apartment and made my way back upstairs. And of course, the banging did not stop.

I groggily opened my eyes and looked at the alarm clock next to me.
12:48 PM
I let out a loud groan and crawled out of bed. I slowly made my way downstairs and took a seat on the couch next to my friends.
"Damn girl, you slept in" Eneesa said.
"Yeah, I had to leave last night and go ask people to stop banging their bed into the wall, turns out the wall between my room and his room is very thin" I mumbled.
My friends started laughing.
"Yeah well, I don't think it's funny, I'm exhausted" I groaned and rested my head on the couch arm.
As soon as I felt my eyes get heavy and I was going to be able to fall back asleep there was a knock on the door.
"I swear to god the banging never stops" I yelled. My friends laughed once again. Eneesa got up and answered the door.
"Can I talk to whichever one has the room next to mine" the voice said. My eyes shot open and I stayed still.
"Avery" Eneesa said holding back laughter. I let out a loud groan and got up. I stomped my feet the whole way to the door and I was greeted by the same man who I had seen barely clothed earlier that morning. I stepped outside and closed the door.
"Hold on" I mumbled. I opened my door and reached into the drawer of a side table next to the couch. I pulled out a pre rolled blunt and lighter.
"I'm going to need this" I mumbled. The friends begun dying of laughter again and I closed the door behind me. I begun walking outside and he followed.
"So what do you want" I asked as I rolled the fire around the blunt. I stuck an end in between my lips and lit the opposite side. We took a seat on a bench outside.
"I think last night needs to be discussed" he said
"You mean early this morning" I said, I had the worst attitude right now. I barely slept.
"Yeah well, regardless, I'm going to need you to not barge into my house like that again" he said sternly.
"Yeah well, I wouldn't have had to if you would have stopped when I asked you too" I said taking a long hit from my blunt.
"Well, news flash princess, you don't own the complex and I can do whatever the hell I want in my apartment" he said with an attitude.
"Yeah, you can do whatever you want but you don't need to be disturbing others in the process" I mumbled.
"Might as well get used to it, I bring woman around every night" he said with a smile.
"Ew" I said loudly.
"Now now, don't be jealous, I'll make time for you" he said lifting my chin with his single finger.
"Please tell me you've washed your hands since yesterday" I said in disgust. He chuckled and stood up.
"I'll see you tonight?" He asked.
"Why would you see me tonight?" I asked.
"Oh well, your friend told my boy to invite all of us over tonight, something about a party?" He said.
"That bitch" I mumbled quietly. He chuckled once again.
"I'll take that as a yes"
