~James POV~
I took a step towards Mariah and looked up at her.
"Is something the matter?" I raised and eyebrow, "Do you know him,"
"Holy shit... You're dating... Him?" She said, her nose crinkling at the word 'him'.
"Um, I guess we're dating, I don't know, we haven't made it official," she grips my shoulders and stares at me with her eyes wide.
"He.broke.my.heart." Mariah says with her voice cracking slightly. "I don't want him to hurt you too...." I stared at her and searched her eyes for any sign of why. With no luck I sighed.
"I'm so sorry to hear that,and, how exactly did he break your heart?" I didn't mean to sound rude but I apparently did, a wave of hurt washed over her face.
"He broke up with me after two years! And how he did it was so mean! He used me! For my body! He never loved me!" She was now crying, tears streaming down her face. I wiped her tears.
"I-I'm so sorry, Mariah. I didn't know.... Do you think he-?"
"I don't know," she sniffles. "You should get going.... I need to be alone right now..." I nodded, understanding why.
"Bye ,Mariah," I stood on my toes and kissed her forehead. Waving bye then leaving her dorm. As I shut the door behind me I ran up the steps up to my dorm door, knocking, just to tell then that I'm here. I heard a dissatisfied moan. From what I assume was John, they where disappointed that I was here.... I felt tears fill my eyes quickly. Alex walks up to the door and opens the door.
" 'sup Jame- hey, are you crying?" I pushed past him and went into my room. Hot tears rolling down my cheeks. God I'm so emotional..
Knock knock
"Hey James, what's wrong dude?" John said quietly. I mumbled quietly as I brought my knees up and buried my head in them.
"Go away..." I Mumbled. I heard a soft click of the door unlocking, curse John and his fluffy hair that has lots of Bobby pins... A pair of really warm around wrapped around me.
"What's wrong, you can tell me," I realized that he said me as in like, singular. Not we, so what about Alex? I sighed and leaned into his hug for warmth.
"Turns out that h-he was dating Mariah," I chuckle slightly. "And he broke her heart by breaking up with her after two years, and get this... He only used her for her body," I let out a heart-broken sigh, as tears roll down my face.
"Oh my god, James, I'm so sorry, that must be terrible," he says as he rubs circles on my back to comfort me. Alex walks in the room.
"Uhh, what's going on?" Aex says suspiciously, raising an eyebrow. John turns around and furrows his eyebrows.
"James is upset so I'm being nice and comforting him you expired tomato," he spat at Alex.
Alex laughs, "I'm so proud, but we need to work on your insults," John rolls his eyes.
I hate when they have disagreements, it always seems like I'm the center of them. I sink into John's grip. You're so warm, I accidentally say out loud.
"I get that a lot," my face heats up from embarrassment. John chuckles.
"You feeling better?" John looks down at me. I nod. "Wanna eat dinner with us?" I looked up at John.
"Nah, I ate at Mariah's," I lied, fiddling with my sweater.
"...Are you sure? You're getting awfully thin," John says lifting up my sweater and shirt, exposing my chest. I'm not thin...
"Yeah I second that, you can practically see your ribs," Alex inquires. Looking at my chest. I pull away and yank down my shirt.
"Guys, Don't worry! I'm fine," I say giving a half-hearted smile. They exchange worried looks. "Guys, go and eat, I'm really tired and I need my rest,"
~TIME SKIP BROUGHT TO YOU BY EXPIRED TOMATO, ALEX~
I close my dorm door and exit the room.As I walk down the steps and pass Mariah's room I hear yelling, which Also sounds like arguing. All I hear is a velvety voice that I'm almost positive that belongs to Mariah, and a rich Southern voice. Thomas
