All The Things I'm Losing For You (Crankiplier)

Do I Have to Name EVERY Chapter?

Danica's POV

  "Finley William Stowe! Why does Ethan think you hate him?" I barge into his dorm.
   "I may have snapped at him earlier..."
   "Why~?"
   "Hey-" Elizabeth interrupts but realizes it's not the time.
   "Oh hey Elizabeth, I'm just yelling at Finley for being a DUMBASS!" I turn my attention back to him.
   "I can explain!" He insists.
   "Well then..." I cross my arms and tap my foot.
   "Its Mark's fault, really! He was acting so friendly to Ethan today and I just know he is being so fake."
   "Ethan is the guy you talk about all the time, right?" Elizabeth asks.
   "Yes- but..." his face turns red.
   "I don't want E to end up in another Dakota situation..." Finley frowns.
   "I know you care, but he is smarter than that and he can choose his friends. Even if they are jerk offs. He will realize that." I insist.
   "You are right..."
   "I know, I always am!" I beam.

Ethan's POV

  Emmy and I walk into Anatomy together and Professor Brown has a big smile plastered on his face. The bell rings and he claps his hands together.
   "So, many of you may have already heard through the grapevine, but all of my anatomy classes this semester are going on a little vacay next week!" He explains. 
   "Some of you may be wondering 'Professor Brown! What does this have to do with anatomy?' We will be getting in touch with nature, and our bodies!" He continues.
   "Poor choice of words" Emmy giggles.
   "You will be able to see what you are truly capable of, without technology! And it will be a nice break away from school for a bit!" He smiles. I was kinda excited.
   "You have til class tomorrow to come up with a group of three for sleep situations. Same sex pairs only!" He reminds. I look over at Emmy and frown.
   "Stupid stereotypes..." she groans.
  She was right, times like these didn't seem fair. I know it's for the safety of everyone, but it's kind of stupid. Neither Emmy or I like the opposite gender, and sex is still gonna happen. People are sneaky, and same sex couples do exist! Sure, pregnancy is out of the picture in that scenario,  but people will still sneak around it!
   "Three and three?" She suggests, talking about our group.
   "Danica and Avery are in astronomy..."
   "Ok well, looks like both of our groups will have to find a plus one." She shrugs. And with that, class was dismissed and the day was over. Now all I had to worry about was 1. Getting Finley to agree to be my partner, and 2. Finding a third person for our group.

Mark's POV

  Ethan and I had walked down to the second floor after class together. He told me he needed to talk to Finley in B225 and I told him that I would walk him because Chris wanted to hangout and lived in B226.
  I laid on the floor of Christian's dorm. Darren was sitting at the table, and Chris was sitting on his bed. I was only sitting on the floor because I had never met his roommate, and didnt want to just make myself at home on their bed.
   "Did yall hear about the trip in Brown's class today?" Darren pipes up, breaking the silence.
   "Oh yeah, about that. My roommate wanted to partner with me cause he doesnt have too many friends." Chris sat up.
   "Well what about us?" I gesture to Darren and myself.
   "One of you can join us, the other will have to find another group I guess"
   "I can join Kennedy!" Darren smiles.
   "Same sex groups, dingus!" I remind.
   "I'll just be sneaking out anyways!" He groans.
   "Can we meet your roommate first?" I ask.
   "Yeah, what if he is a psychopath?" Darren points out.
   "He gets back from work around 6, so like 20 minutes. You guys can meet him then."

--------------------

6:00 rolls around and just as Chris said, the door swings open. I sit up to greet his roommate only to be struck with anger. What a punchable face. All I could imagine was terrible things, specifically the terrible things that this man has done. His eyes focused on me and his smile faded.
   "What the hell is this punk doing in my room?" Dakota demands an answer.
   "This is my best mate, Mark" Chris informs him.
   "Do you guys know eachother?" Darren asks concerned
   "Your buddy Mark here interrupted some very important buisness I had to take care of..." Dakota snarles.
   "Oh, you fucking piece of sh-" I stand up and am immediately pushed back down.
   "Hush up if you know what's good for you"
  Chris and Darren look to eachother confused, and shrug.
   "Y'know what? I'll gladly find my own group" I stand up face to face with Dakota. I needed to leave before I did something I would regret.
   "I'll talk to you guys later" I storm out. Not knowing where to go. I walk to the next room over and pound on the door. To my luck, Finley opens the door and glares at me.
   "Didnt get enough satisfaction from hitting me the other day?"
   "Look, I came here for Ethan"
   "And why is that?"
   "Are you his message boy or some shit?" I slightly raise my voice. You know, it never occurred to me. Maybe he was Ethans boy.
   "Listen, Ethan is none of your Business, so please, just leave." He takes a deep breath.
  I shut my mouth and turn away. They definitely weren't just 'friends'. About halfway down the hallway I run into a short blonde girl. I knew she was another one of Ethan's friends, therefore she probably hated me. Could this day get any worse?
   "Oh man, I'm super sorry about that!" She frowns.
   "No, no worries" I sigh in relief, she doesnt know me.
   "Uh, Mark... is it?"
  Welp, so much for that.
   "Yeah, and you are...?"
   "Oh right, totally weird that I know your name! I'm one of Ethan's friends!" She states proudly.
   "Oh, nice!" I smile
   "Emmy, by the way! I've heard quite a bit about you!" She giggles.
  She has heard a lot about me, that's concerning.
   "I'm also Kendall's dormmate, so I hear a lot about you through her too" she continues.
   "Ah, I see."
   "Yeah... very mixed things, but dont worry, I like to make my own opinions" she smiles.
  Good to see Ethan has one sensible friend.
   "So... uh, you in Brown?" I ask
   "Mhm, and I'm pumped for the trip!"
   "Yeah... me too..."
   "You don't seem pumped" she frowns.
   "Well, I don't have a group yet, but once I find one I'll be good."
   "Hmm. You want to be in Ethans group but something is stopping you..." she observes
   "Wha- are you a-"
   "I'm not a mind reader, just good at reading people." She smiles.
   "My best guess is Finley, I know you guys had a run in..." she sighs
  "Listen man, I think you aren't that bad, but if you keep punching my friends..." she giggles.
  I just awkwardly laugh.
   "Bad joke. Anyways, just ask him!" She insists.

Ethan's POV

  I hear the door slam as I walk out from the bathroom.
   "Was someone here?" I ask.
   "Oh, just someone looking for Elizabeth..." he trails off.
   "Ok, anyway, what do you say about being part of my group for Anatomy?"
   "Do you honestly think I would say no?"
   "I mean- I thought- arent you mad at me?"
   "Oh Ethan... I'm sorry, I just don't want to see you hurt again, and Mark gives me bad vibes..."
   "Well, your vibes are off cause he is really nice..." I blush. I hadn't told any of my friends about the other night with Dakota.
   "I just don't understand why you two are besties all of the sudden. And now you are defending him?" His voice raises a little.
   "I cant be friends with him?"
   "Its just- he literally wanted to murder you a few weeks ago, and now..." he stops and then looks up at me, eyebrows knitted.
   "Have you guys- did you guys sleep- together...?" I can hear pain and anger in his voice.
   "What!? No!"
   "I just don't understand..." he shakes his head.
  The door slowly opens and Emmy peaks her head in.
   "Hellooo!" She smiles.
   "Emmy, thank God you are here!" I sigh of relief.
  My phone beeps, so I turn it on and see a text message from Mark.
   "Who is it?" Emmy interrogates.
   "Uh... Avery..." I reply.
   "What did he say?" Finley takes his turn interrogating.
   "He asked what we were up to" I clear my throat
  "Tell him he should come hangout!" Emmy insists.
   "He's... uh... busy"

Marki🥜: Hey... you arent home and I wanted to ask you something

Me: I'm at Finley's, what's up?"

Marki🥜: I don't have a group for the science thing...

Marki🥜: Can I be in your group...? Pwetty please.... :((((

Me: I don't know if that is a great idea...

Marki🥜: Whyyyy? Do you already have a full group?

Me: No, but I have a Finley... and for SOME reason, he doesn't like you.

Marki🥜: I literally have no other choice...

Me: Fine... I'll talk to Finley. If I'm not home by 9, I'm a goner.

   "Sooo.... Finley..." I awkwardly look up at him.
   "What, Ethan?"
   "Can I choose the other person for our group?" I ask.
  I can see Emmy's eyes widen as if she knows exactly where I was going with this.
   "Sure, whatever..."
   "Okay... well I chose"
   "Already? Who?"
   "You are gonna hate me for this..."
   "What?" He looks at me confused.
   "Fin... he wasnt texting Avery..." Emmy chimes in hoping he would get it.
   "I dont-"
   "Mark" I say staring him dead in the eye. He just shakes his head.
   "You just won't give it up will you?" He sighs.
   "Come on, maybe you will see that he isnt so bad!"
   "Or maybe you will see that he is..." he grunts. I roll my eyes.

Mark's POV

New message: Ethan🤤

  I knew we shouldn't have trusted each other to make our own contact names.

Ethan🤤: Yes.

Me: Yes?

Ethan🤤: You can be in our group...
