Obsessed

Chapter Four

It had been four months since Siobhan last saw Prince. As opposed to focusing on that minor of her life, she focused on that of her friends. Tamika and Ray Ray had begun hitting it off, finally tying the knot and becoming a couple.  Akira was making amends with her relationship status as well. She meet a man named Trey and they began hitting it off from there.

Siobhan's love life, on the contrary, was anything like Akira's and Tamika's. In T-Minus two seconds, as she sat on her bed in the dark of the  night, her relationship would receive the biggest blow of her life.

To say that Siobhan was annoyed was a complete understatement. She was furious. For the past week, Craig had been arriving home past twelve midnight, causing his girlfriend to worry. 

The crashing of glass downstairs only alleviated her growing suspicions. Goosebumps ran down her neck as she heard footsteps advancing up the stairs and towards her room.

"Craig?" she called out, frightened as ever. "Is that you?" 

The door swung open and she was indeed proven correct. It was Craig.

"Craig, where the hell were you?!" Siobhan questioned, stretching her body over to switch on the lamp on the dresser. "Do you know how late it is?"

Craig only stumbling around the room, ignoring Siobhan's pestering questions. His shirt hung loose while he reeked of alcohol, cigarettes and cheap perfume. 

"I went to the movies, babes," he slurred finally. "Relax, just chill."

"Well, your Sprite must have been Vodka and licorice a blunt," she retorted sarcastically as she rushed out of bed to help Craig. "Where did you really go?"

Craig shrugged his shoulders in response. "The club, but it's nothing, baby... It was for my job. Just give me a kiss." He slid his arms around her waist and trailed wet kisses down the crook of Siobhan's neck. 

A club? What the hell was he doing there? 

"Quit it, Craig..." Siobhan tried pulling away from him, but each time she did, he held her tighter. Craig then moaned as his lips met hers. His hands roamed her body, fondling with the straps of her negligee. "Stop it."

"I just want some love..." He stated, roughly pushing Siobhan back on the bed and climbing atop of her. Siobhan gasped and looked back up at Craig. With no hesitation, she slapped him and pushed his weight off of her. Like second nature, she scrambled away from the bed and to the corner of the room.

"I want you out of my house. Now." she growled.

Craig looked at her then scoffed as he stumbled towards the bedroom door. "I'll get it elsewhere. I don't need you." 

Once he was finally out of the house, Siobhan released the breath she didn't even know she held in. With a dramatic slide to the ground, she curled into a ball in confusion. He life was spiraling once again and she simply had no control over it.

That night, Siobhan could not sleep. The effect showed the next day, for she couldn't do anything but think about what happened the night before. At the lecture hall, all she could do was stare blankly at the professor as he spoke, unable to take any notes.

When her classes finished, she made her usual routine out the building, making sure to not run into any stalkers or drunken boyfriends again. 

"This is definitely her! I saw her on this campus." Siobhan heard a frantic voice speak. She turned to stare at two girls, a blonde and an auburn haired girl, arguing with each other with a paper in the blonde's hand. "

Before she could finish her sentence, Siobhan interrupted their conversation.

"Hello!" She said cheerfully to the unfamiliar girls. She took it as an opportunity to make new friends, but mainly as a way to take her mind off of Craig.
