My Bad Boy Roommate

Chapter 7

(Chucky's POV)

I hate that she blocked me. It sucks not having her here. I have to make my own food and stuff.  I have to get her back.  I'm going to take her back when she's sleeping. 

(Lea's POV)

I woke up at 8 and smell coffee. I look and see Ashton making coffee. I get up and get in the shower. When I get out I put on jeans and a shirt. I put my hair in a messy bun. I brush my teeth and go into the kitchen. I sit and down and Ashton says, "So, today's Monday. Are you ready?"

I say, "Not really. Holly will be there."

He says, "Oh yeah. Do you still want me to talk to her?"

I say, "Please."

After that, we go to school.

 (At lunch)

At lunch, I grab my food and sit down at a table. Ashton goes to Holly's table and talks to her. Her table is only 2 tables away so I can hear what they're saying. Ashton says, "I don't care if you still love me, Lea is my best friend. Leave her alone."

She says, "I don't care. You're not allowed to have any girl best friends. So, stop hanging out with her or she'll regret it. Plus, it's obvious she likes you."

He says, "We're not dating, Holly. I don't have to do anything."

She says, "Well then go out with me."

He says, "Will you leave her alone?" 

She says, "If you stop talking to her. So, will you go out with me?"

A part of me hopes he says no. Not only will I lose a friend, I'll be alone.

He says, "Yes."

I look down and start eating. After I'm done I leave school.

(In my dorm)

I'm listening to music on my bed and a tear rolls down my cheek. I finally am alone. I expected him to tell her to leave me alone, not start dating her. I guess he still likes her. I fall asleep and wake up 2 hours later. I go on my phone and see a text from Ashton. It says, "Are you ok?"

Lea: Yeah. Just leave me alone. 

Ashton: I'm sorry. It was the only way.

Lea: Whatever. Now I'm alone. You were my only friend. 

Ashton: I am so sorry. I had to. I got to go. Holly needs me.

Lea: Bye.

After that, I start crying. I have to go to school tomorrow. I go to sleep and wake up at 7 the next day. I get in the shower and when I get out, I brush my teeth, put on some clothes, and put my hair in a messy bun. I grab an apple and leave for school before Ashton can see me.

(At lunch)

I grab the usual food and sit down by myself. Holly walks over to me. She says, "You look horrible."

I say, "Go away, Holly. Nobody wants you here."

She says, "Awww. Did I steal your crush from you? I'm sorry."

I pinch my knee so hard I'm afraid it will bleed. I say, "No. Go. You don't know what it's like having no one."

She says, "Yeah because I'm not a loser, like you. Bye."

I grab her wrist and say, "I may be a loser, but at least I'm not mean."

She glares at me and leaves. After the bell rings, I head to class.

(In the dorm)

I'm just doing homework and I see Ashton walk into the door. He says, "Why didn't you wake me up this morning?"

I say, "We're not allowed to talk."

He says, "We're roommates, Lea. We have too."

I say, "Then why start dating Holly?"

He says, "I know she may be a jerk sometimes, bu-"

I say, "Sometimes."

He says, "BUT I like her. I'm sorry."

I say, "That's ok. Good night."

(Skip forward to Saturday)

I've been ignoring Ashton all week. He's tried to talk to me in the dorm, but I just put headphones on. I eat separately from him too. Leave earlier from him. I know he likes her. That's not why I'm upset. I'm upset because he refuses to be my friend. I think a part of him is sorry for what he did.
