CWs: Swearing, Drinking, Sexual Activity
YN POV
Your head was pounding when you finally woke up. As you reached for your phone, you made a realization . This wasn't your dorm. This wasn't your bed. What the fuck had happened last night? Sitting up, you found the room empty, the smell of both weed and vomit filling your nostrils. Pulling your hands through your hair - you noticed your clothes, although they weren't your clothes, they were someone else's. Your mind spiralling with ideas, you made your way out of the bed, finding Jayden's ruined dress on the floor of the bathroom- "She's going to absolutely kill me" you whispered. Moving out onto the balcony, you allowed the cold air to fill your lungs. You figured out where you were, but could not remember the name of the person that you had spoken to. You remembered his annoyance towards you, the way that his ran his hands through his hair whenever you kept talking, the way that he leaned in the doorway, the way that he crossed his arms at you. God, he was gorgeous.
Shaking the thoughts from your head, you decided to make your way downstairs, hoping more than ever that you'd run into a friendly face, and you did.
You recognised the mass of hair quickly, before he turned around - his bright brown eyes looking you up and down, clearly realizing that you weren't in the same clothes that you had arrived in last night.
"I knew it." He hummed, before his eyes met yours again. You weren't sure what to say, simply staring back at him as he moved through the kitchen, guiding you to sit up at the counter. And so you did, finding yourself in a room with some of the pledges, picking the skin on the end of your nails. Danny was stood at the stove, an apron tied loosely around his waist.
"Pancakes?" He asked, turning around to look at you -he had made the same realization that Josh had. You shook your head as Sam came in ,joining the others in the staring.
Josh spoke softly to you, a gesture that was appreciated considering the headache, "Where did you sneak off to?" He teased. As you tried to explain the story, you couldn't help the blush of embarrassment that came over your cheeks - you had just shown up into a stranger's room, vomited all over the place, and ended up sleeping in his bed. Even worse, now you're wearing his clothes. Josh chuckled quietly as you reiterated how embarrassed you were - "It happens to everyone, don't worry, you're not the first and you won't be the last". It was then that Sam decided to pipe up - "I've never done that. I don't think i could survive the embarrassment, if it was me, id never show my face again." Josh shot him a dirty look, shoving his palm into his shoulder. His brother only laughed in return, shrugging his shoulders.
Danny was doing his absolute best to make conversation, asking how you liked the night, what course you were studying, whether you had been in Michigan for long. You simply shook your head as he spoke, not able to cope with any sort of conversation in this condition.

As you woke up you'd almost forgotten the night before until you sat up and realized you were on your couch. You looked to your right and instantly remembered that you had a random girl in your bed. Now, while most guys would be thrilled about this, you weren't.
As you sat up, you saw the state of the floor. "Shit"
You quickly cleaned up the floor, leaving the ruined dress by the side of the bed. She was still asleep, her long blonde hair hung over her face. You caught yourself staring at her for a moment until you realized how frustrated at her you were.
"She's made your room smell like one of the bathrooms and she ruined your chances of getting with anyone last night."
You checked your phone. Five missed calls from Josh and a text from your little brother Sam talking about how there was a new junior at the party last night that came with one of Josh's friends; How he was going to tap it if you weren't. You chuckled, knowing that he had a long way to go to get girls like that. It was still early and you doubted that anyone would be awake. Perfect. You made your way to your dresser and changed into some gym shorts and an old band tee. You grabbed your sneakers and made your way down the stairs. The party must have been a hit because the place was a mess. You stepped over empty cans and cups and made your way out of the door into the crisp morning air. It made you shiver a little bit. You slung your jeep door open and threw your gym bag in the passenger seat. You were about to take all your anger out on the weights.
YN POV
After more awkward glances, and quiet talks with Josh - you had decided to bite the bullet and make your way into college. There were only going to be a few lectures today, and you would be able to take the notes on your phone. As you found yourself entering the campus, you couldn't help but notice the stares that you were getting, people looking at you up and down, before turning to whisper to their friend. You looked down at yourself, doing your best to figure out what could be so shocking - had you somehow now managed to clean yourself up properly? You had taken the time to remove your makeup before leaving, and had managed to tame your hair well enough. Unable to place your finger on it, you decided to just ignore the looks, before you finally found Jayden in the student union. "Why the fuck is everyone staring at me?" You asked, confused. As she joined the others in looking you up and down, a laugh left her lips. "Someone had a busy night! No wonder I couldn't find you when I was leaving. By the way, where's my dress?" You looked at her, confused. "Uh.. On some guy's bedroom floor?" Realizing how that would sound, you quickly corrected yourself. "No... nonono it was nothing like that!! I just got too drunk, ended up walking into someone's room and.. god i made such a mess..." you replied, your voice trailing off towards the end. "Someone's room?" She asked, before repeating herself. "It was Jake's room. Those are HIS clothes!" You weren't sure what to say, you hadn't heard of him before, and couldn't understand why she was so nonchalant about it. "Jake? Don't tell me you don't know who that is." She laughed.
Shaking your head, she finally explained who he was - one of the brothers of the frat that you had found yourselves at last night. "He's literally slept with every single girl on this campus. You're trying to tell me you didn't?" Shaking your head, she looked up at you, meeting your eyes ."I believe you, but nobody else will." "Be prepared to be known as another one of his conquests" she stated with a coldness in her voice.
"Maybe I should apologize to him or thank him or something?" You asked, pulling up instagram trying to find him. "Maybe he will tell everyone nothing happened?"
Jayden chuckled " Would you rather be known as the girl who blacked out and ended up in his bed? I mean he is fine. Do you even remember what he looks like?" She reaches for her phone. You rake your hand through your hair " I don't remember how I got into the room; No i do not remember what he looks like."
"He is pretty private so not many people get to be so lucky as I am to follow him on instagram." She said with a smirk. "Here look, he is so hot. Unfortunately I am one of the five girls he haven't slept with"
She handed you her phone to go through his profile. "Damn he is hot! I got Psychology 301 in five minutes! See ya later Jayden!" You exited the student union doors and walked down the leaf covered sidewalk. Suddenly you saw a familiar person in the distance. Trying to figure out who it is, you finally recognized him. Jake.
Jake POV
After finishing your session, you quickly showered, before getting back into your car and making your way to the campus. Already, another party had been scheduled for tonight - you just hoped that Sam and Danny would be able to clear up the mess in time. You found yourself sat on a wall outside of the main building, a cigarette between your lips. Pulling your phone from your pocket, you scrolled through social media, watching all of the videos from last night - from what you could make out, it seemed to have been a good night. This only pissed you off more, having missed out to take care of some stupid girl. Sighing, you pushed the smoke from your lungs, forcing your phone back into your pocket. People walked past, some nodding towards you, others avoiding your gaze. You ignored each of them, before you saw a familiar figure making its way towards you - that girl, again. She seemed almost nervous as she walked up to you, her hands interlocked with themselves.
"Hey, uh.. Jake?" There was something about the way that she said your name. You didn't reply, simply raising an eyebrow. She was still wearing your clothes, stupid. "Thanks for.... For taking care of me, I know i was a mess, I know i made a mess of your room, i-" you cut her off before she could finish her sentence. "Just shut up. " she stared back at you, clearly taken aback. She began to stumble over her words, clearly not expecting the response that you had given her. "What? I'm supposed to feel bad for you, or something?" You asked. She furrowed her eyebrows as she looked down towards the ground "well, no, i just thought-" you cut her off again. "That's the fucking problem. You DIDN'T think. You can't handle your alcohol. You wandered into somewhere that you weren't fucking wanted, uninvited. How am I supposed to bring a girl upstairs when my entire room REEKS?" You could see her eyes beginning to tear up, her gaze never leaving the concrete.
Y/N POV
You quickly left, not answering him. You could feel the tears welling up in your eyes and a heaviness in your chest. Focusing on the ground so no one would see you in this state you didn't notice a familiar voice call your name.
"Y/N" You turned around and saw the caring face of Josh. You didn't want to have a conversation with him right now but you sucked it up.
"Josh?" You look up at his face
"What the fuck happened back there? Was Jake an ass to you? "
"Nothing happened Josh." You answered trying to hide how upset you were.
"I heard it y/n, something happened." He looked disappointed.
"Look Josh I can't talk right now I am going to be late to class" you hurried away not letting him answer you . You finally make your way to the psychology building. As you step into the lobby you finally feel like you are able to breathe again.
Jake POV
"Dude what the FUCK was that?!" Great, you thought to yourself, now you have Josh at your throat. You look up from your laptop.
"Josh, this is the library you are supposed to be quiet" you say with a hiss trying to get him to get off the topic.
"Jake don't fuck with me right now!" Josh whispers, trying to not make it obvious that things are get heated.
"Whatever happened to good morning Jake? What are you working on Jake?" You quipped. You grabbed your headphones and put them on trying to tune out Josh and what life lesson he was trying to teach you. Honestly you couldn't care less. But Josh was not having it. He ripped your headphones off your head causing people to stare at you two.
"Jake quit being such a fucking douchebag and talk to me. God I miss when you were a fucking freshman and had a heart!" Josh's face was getting redder by the second.
"i HAD a fucking heart. you more than anyone should understand that!" You felt your fist tightening up. You packed all your things and headed towards the door. You could hear Josh following behind you
" You know what Jake you hide behind this act that you are all tough but you are just a pussy . Seriously, you left before she even woke up. She panicked this morning and you decided to be a dick to her." You turned back around to face him. "She doesn't deserve anything Josh get that through your fucking head, You don't understand; You won't ever understand.Leave me the fuck alone!" You huff and storm away to your car. Once you get to your car you open instagram and look at your notifications.
One new follow request: Y/N444. You sighed and hit approve. You looked through her profile. Through pictures of her at the beach and her travels. She looked so happy; you started to feel bad that you had made her so upset. You found yourself staring at her most recent post. She was wearing the dress that you had to help her out of . She was so beautiful. But you couldn't let anybody know you think of her like that. You can't be tied down. Ever since the end of freshman year, you had sworn off relationships - you refused to ever feel that kind of hurt again. It had taken you months to recover, and you had sworn that you wouldn't be forced back down into that mind space. Without thinking, you double-tapped the photo.
YN POV
You were sat in class, listening as the lecturer droned on and on, when suddenly, your phone lit up. Jaketkiszka liked your photo. Your heart skipped a beat for a moment, before you collected yourself. You shouldn't be feeling like this about him - not after the way he had just treated you. You had done your best to make up for last night, apologizing , but instead, you had been berated. Yet still, seeing that he had liked your photo somehow managed to force a smile onto your face. You clicked onto the notification, taking your time to go through his profile. It was exactly what you were expecting - pictures of him with friends, at home, out at a restaurant. You decided to keep snooping, finding yourself going through his tagged photos. As you scrolled, your fingers froze. Clicking onto the image, a breath hitched in your throat - a picture of him, in black and white, holding an acoustic guitar.
You couldn't help but to just stare, zooming in on the way that his fingers wrapped around the neck of the guitar, so intricate, yet so decisive. You were forced out of your headspace as your phone dinged once again - a message from Jayden. Another party tonight. At the same house. You considered it for a moment - you shouldn't want to see him again, you shouldn't be feeling like you absolutely had to go, but you did. You texted her back quickly, agreeing, and promising not to lose her dress this time. The day flew by, as you thought about the party - doing your best to force the last night out of your head, but you just couldn't. You couldn't forget his eyes as they pierced through your skin, staring at you like he hated you.
Arriving back at the dorm, you expressed your excitement to Jayden, ignoring her teasing. You usually wouldn't be so excited for a party - it was just a group of people, but you knew that Jake would be there. You knew that you'd get another chance to fix things. On the other hand, you couldn't help but wonder if he would speak to you that way again. Jayden helped you get ready . She curled your long blonde hair and did your makeup. You must admit you were not good at this kind of stuff but you wanted Jake to look at you. Once you were done you looked in the mirror. "If Jake won't fuck you , I will" Jayden joked while tying her white airforces. You were ready to have all the attention on you. Jake would be dumb to not look at you tonight. Just you were about to leave you got a instagram message from Josh:
PrezJosh: Are you coming tonight? Jayden told me that she was going and I wanted to make sure you are too!
Y/N444: Of course I am coming Josh I can't miss it !
PrezJosh: sick see you there!
Jake POV
By the time you returned to the house, you had calmed down. Opening the door, the first person that you saw was Josh, babbling away as he always did - "Jake, I'm sorry, look, I didn't mean what I said, I shouldn't have gone off on you like that-" you cut him off, a soft smile making its way onto your face, "I know, I know - I shouldn't have reacted the way that I did, I know you're only trying to look out for me." He smiled as he looked back at you, "Brothers?" "As if I could ever get rid of you." As you moved towards the stairs, you saw him pulling his pocket from his phone, a mischievous smirk on his face.
Making your way up the stairs, you changed into something a little better than last night - black jeans, and a matching button-up shirt. You pulled a dark denim jacket over your shoulders, before making your way back to the balcony, leaving the door open, anything to get rid of the smell that seemed to be lingering in your room, a constant reminder of last night. You leaned over the railing, watching as people began to walk up towards the door. Danny stood outside, clearly taking his job more seriously than yesterday. Deciding to go downstairs, you joined the two young pledges. As you stood in the doorway, Sam spoke. "Hey, is Y/N going to be here?" Before you could answer a "no", assuming that she wouldn't want to be anywhere near you, Danny piped up. "Obviously." You raised an eyebrow looking at him. "You know, if Jake hadn't banged her, I totally would." Sam laughed, before the two of them looked to you. You weren't sure what to say, whether to admit to taking care of her, or to let them think that they had a chance. Neither of them were going to be allowed to get anywhere near her, not if you had anything to do with it. "Shut the fuck up" you grumbled, before making your way back inside. You opened one of the living-room windows, keen to cool down the house a little. Making yourself a drink, you quickly threw it down, leaning against the kitchen counter as the house continued to fill.
Sam POV
You were at the door today like you were last night. You didn't mind the door . It was better than having to be a sober brother and drive drunk girls home. At least you had Danny with you today. Danny was your best friend from highschool and you were so pumped to be pledging with your best friend. You were just talking about one of Jake's latest conquests. Of course you had to joke around with Jake a little bit . You were his little brother, you couldn't let him off with banging a ten out of ten and not say anything.
You notice Jake at the counter. You scream through the door.
"Hey Jake can I have a turn with Y/N?" Danny played along. " Yeah she is fine as hell Jake let us have a turn."
Jake basically ran to the door. You had never seen Jake this serious about a girl before. He spoke to both you and Danny "You dumbfucks need to keep Y/N's name out of your fucking mouths or I will personally knock all of your teeth out!" His voice dripping with rage, leaving both you and Danny stood at the door, silent. "Oh he's totally banging her.." Danny mumbled. You whispered a quick agreement. "And you two assholes better keep the ratio tonight."Jake screamed as he walked away.
Josh POV
As the house became more busy, you noticed Jake fighting with two of the pledges.Barely able to make out the words, you could tell that this was bothering him - while he had always been one for little spats, he seemed truly passionate this time, his eyes darting between both of them. Before you could step in, he had moved away, and you could see both Y/N and Jayden stood at the door, quickly being let in by Sam. As he did so, he shot a knowing look at Danny, he seemed to laugh along. "You made it!" You exclaimed as you walked over to them, pulling Jayden into a hug. You considered making an excuse for Jake's behavior earlier on in the day, but decided against it, sure that he would be able to handle it himself. You found yourself hoping that he would be the one to apologize, but knowing him as well as you did, you doubted that it would happen. He could hold a grudge, and was way too stubborn to admit when he was wrong.
Jake POV
There she stood, again. She looked different tonight - her hair was different. You found yourself liking it, it suited her, framing her face so beautifully. You pulled your eyes away as you refilled your cup, holding it up to your lips. You hated how she made you feel. She was different than other girls. You decided you were going to try to ignore her the whole night. But you know that would be harder than it seemed. As soon as the plan had crossed your mind, she was there, looking up at you. You raised an eyebrow, before placing your drink down with more force than was planned, droplets spilling into your hand. "What the fuck is your problem?" You began, staring down at her. "You're fucking following me now? What, a smart college girl like you can't just take a hint?" Her face dropped from a smile to a frown. "You know what? Since you like to follow me so much, do it now.' You wrapped your fingers around her wrist, leading her down the hallway. She seemed oddly receptive to it, which only egged you on. Flinging open the bathroom door, you pulled her in, not bothering to lock it.
Jayden POV
"Where the fuck did she go" you thought, as you searched the party. You tried to call her phone multiple times but no answer. You decided to go find Josh - he would know what to do, he always did. You walked through the crowded room. Finally, you found him talking to a bunch of pledges about how they should notice when the alcohol is running low and where all the replacement alcohol is.
"Josh, have you seen Y/N?" You asked in a hurry.
"Nope I haven't seen her since I greeted you ladies? Have you checked the bathroom?" He replied, obviously too busy to have this conversation.
"Good Idea thanks!" You made your way down the busy hallway and reached the bathroom. There was a line of people waiting to use the bathroom. You decided to cut the line and knocked on the door.
One of the freshmen spoke to you "What the fuck? There's a line!"
You respond with a quick middle finger and continue to pound on the door while calling Y/N.
Jake POV
It didn't take long for your hands to find her hips, leaning your body weight against her until she was firmly held against the wall, her eyes looking up at you like a deer in headlights. "You're fucking obsessed, is that it?" You growled, your mouth close to her ear. You watched as she began to melt into your hands, unable to stop the smile that came across her face. "I asked you a question." You hummed, repeating the question from last night's endeavor. She simply mumbled a "mhm" before your lips found her neck, grazing your teeth against the soft skin. Her perfume filled your nose, only serving to entice you more. A quiet whine left her lips as you continued, her hands finding their way to your hair. You could feel her nails running over your scalp, grabbing on as if it was the only thing that she could do. "Please" she hummed, leaning her head back further. Your hands followed her curves, your fingers slinking under the straps of her dress, gently pulling on them, exposing her shoulders. The moment that you went to make a move, you heard a knock on the door. Looking up at her, you quickly cupped your palm over her mouth, "Not a fucking sound" you growled, her responding with a quick nod. Hearing Jayden's voice outside the door, a smirk found its way across your lips. "There's your little friend. You wanna go out?" Watching her desperately shake her head, you chuckle, before opening the door, hiding behind as you quickly ushered her out.
You waited until she had been gone for a moment, before you looked at yourself in the mirror, running your hands through your hair to fix it. You left the bathroom, then, making your way back over to the keg, grabbing the drink that you had previously placed down. You chuckle to yourself and take a swig of your drink .
