Start writing your story

A/N edit: hey guys! I'm gonna try and cover a ton of things in this chapter, if I can. Enjoy ya'll!

Alex's POV~

Maria dropped me off back at my dorm. I waved good bye to her and told her that we would continue our discussion tomorrow. I unlocked the dorm with my keys, and stepped inside. It was quiet. Kinda too quiet. I quietly shut the door and took off my shoes. I quietly walked over to John's room, I opened the door and peeked inside. He was asleep. He looks really cute when he's asleep, drool was slightly coming out of his mouth. I couldn't help but smile, I quietly closed the door. I walked over to the living room and quietly plopped on the couch.

I took out my phone and called Herc. He immediately picked up.

"Hey. I had someone who needed to meet me, John probably told you already."

"Yeah, who was it? Was it from work?" His voice was in a hushed whisper, probably because Laf was sleeping too.

"It was Maria. Maria Reynolds, Now, before you get all angry, it was not about THAT, and it actually was about work." I laid my head up against the pillow that was on the couch.

"Why Maria? Didn't you have sex with her that one night?"

"No. You see you got the story all wrong. Everyone has it all wrong. But this just needs to be kept between you and me for now, because she is actually going to tell everyone tomorrow what really happened. So let me fill you in." I filled on Herc, on everything what happened that night and what her boyfriend is doing to her.

"Wow. That's actually really sad. Also her boyfriend extorting money, will probably lead us close into our case, it will probably help it. So are you going to tell her in private what we really do?" His voice rose as he asked the question.

"Yes, I'm gonna have to, since its protocol, since now she is kind of a witness slash victim." I shifted on the couch.

"Ok. Alright, good. Well I'll see you tomorrow, goodnight."

"Goodnight." I ended the call. I got up from the couch and started to make my way to my room, until I heard a noise. I turned around and looked at John's door. There was nothing there, I shrugged and went back into my room and shut the door. And went to bed. As I layed there in my bed I couldn't help but think about John. I sighed and went to sleep.

John's POV~

I woke up to the sound of someone sitting on the couch. I quietly got up from my bed and slightly opened my door. I looked over at the kitchen and saw that Alex's shoes were at the front door. He was here. I heard him talking on the phone with someone. I quietly opened the door a little more so I could hear into their conversation.

"Hey. I had someone who needed to meet me, John probably told you already." Alex spoke in a light whisper. He probably still thinks I'm asleep.

"Yeah, who was it? Was it from work?" I heard a guy's voice from the other line. It was kind-of low in a whisper too. Who was he talking with on the phone? And who did he meet up wit—

"It was Maria. Maria Reynolds...." I slightly covered my hand in shock. My eyes were wide, I couldn't believe it. Alex wasn't finished. 

"Now, before you get all angry, it was not about THAT, and it actually was about work." He stated quickly. Wait...... what did he mean about "THAT"? Is he still with Maria? My thoughts swelled in my head, I was so confused.
