I've been living with Everett for about a month. After our lunch, I called Jenna to tell her that I was moving in with him and all she had to say was "Have you told Harrison?"
Of course I hadn't.
I was planning on it, but after our argument I didn't want to have to deal with another one. He still didn't know, but I was planning to tell him at my doctor appointment. I knew he was going to get pissed, but my plan was simple.
Tell him to kindly fuck off and then give my new address in case of an emergency. But now all I wanted to do is eat my bowl of popcorn and watch Supernanny.
I was laying on the couch watching my show when I heard the front door burst open.
"Lazy ass!" I heard Everett yell from behind me. I sat up onto my elbows and watched as he came through the door.
"What?" I said back as he placed his things onto the foyer table.
"It's bonding night!" he said, disappearing into the hallway.
"I have work tomorrow I can't," I yelled at him. I couldn't hear him respond, but he walked in five minutes later wearing gray sweatpants and a police academy sweatshirt.
He moved my legs over and plopped down, grabbing the remote off the glass table.
"Lucy, I don't care," he told me, "I need to get to know you better, and vice versa."
"But we've been doing this once every week since I moved in," I said looking at him, "You know pretty much everything about me!"
His eyebrow raised up, "Not everything." I knew what he meant. I had pretty much told him about my life back in San Diego, and my life here but I hadn't talked about my college experience because it was boring.
All college was for me was studying, dating Braden, going to some parties, repeat. It was nothing exciting.
"Do I have to talk about it?" I asked him, my eyes pleading for a no. He bobbed his head up and down with a smirk playing on his face.
"I want to know what college Lucy was like," he told me, "Was she some party animal or, or the nerd who just studied and went to class?"
"I graduated last year!" I pointed out to him.
"Exactly! These memories should still be fresh in your young mind," he told me.
"You realize you're only three years older than me, right?"
He frowned, "Right.... But that doesn't matter. I just want to know something from college."
I shook my head and looked at the tv. He had turned it to some news channel like the old man he is. My eyes stayed focused on the weather report and out of the corner I could see him practically begging for me to give in.
"Fine," I said looking at him, "But you have to tell me anything I want to know in exchange."
His mouth grew in excitement and he turned the tv off, "Anything! Now tell me."
I sat up and pulled my legs together trying to figure out what story I wanted to tell him. My sophomore year was boring because I stopped doing anything bad because of my grades. Junior year was... well... in simpler terms I practically became an alcoholic on the weekends. Last year I stopped going out as often. But freshman year was my favorite and I had lots of stories that were not about me being always drinking or studying.
"Well freshman year....."

Four years ago...
"Jenna if you don't hurry up I will leave your ass here!" I yelled, patting glitter on my cheekbone.
"I. Can't. Get. This. Tight. Ass. Bathing. Suit. On," I heard her grunt from across the hall.
"You're the one who wanted to be a 'sexy aerobic instructor' so stop com-"
"I got it!" I heard her scream in excitement. Next thing I knew she came running in my room, "Look how hot I look!" She was wearing a neon green, or yellow I couldn't tell, one piece that had the entire chest cut out, but there was a thick strip that covered her boobs, and sheer black tights underneath. So she had clothes on but barely.
"Hot," I said, clipping in these starfish clips that I bought from Forever 21, "We need to leave in like ten minutes." She nodded and left my room, so I could finish getting ready. I walked to my bed, unclipping my bra, and grabbed the pink bathing suit top.
The bathing suit was covered in this net and shells to make the mermaid thing more noticeable. Once I got it on, and the shorts which were tight as hell, I put on my nude heels and left my room.
"Holy shit," Jenna said with the bottle of rum in her hand, "Braden is going to freak when he sees you."
"Will's is going to do the same thing when he sees you," I said back, taking my car keys off the key rack.
"Uh probably not," she said back, grabbing her phone, "We've talked like twice and he's a junior. I'm a freshman." I opened our dorm door and we both walked out. The building was crowded, especially our hallway, because it was halloween and people were going in and out.
"He will trust me," I said, clicking the elevator button, "Now let's go out and get drunk and make some memories."
---
The frat house was packed. People were out playing cornhole in the front yard and you could hear the music from about a mile away. We pushed our way inside and into the kitchen.
"Hey Will," I noticed him making some concoction of alcohol into a red cup.
"Hey!" he said looking away from his cup. I watched his eyes shift to Jenna and a smirk played on his face.
"Where is Braden?" I asked him.
His eyes drifted away from Jenna and back to me, "He's out back."
"Thanks!" I walked out, and out of the corner of my eye I saw Will going over to Jenna.
The backyard was not as crowded as the inside, but that's just because it's fifty degrees outside. Walking down the porch steps I saw Braden talking to a group of people. I got behind him and put my hands over his eyes.
He grabbed my hands off his eyes and turned around smiling.
"You made it," he said, letting me go.
"Of course," I said, grabbing the cup out of his hand, taking a sip out of his cup. It was some cheap beer.
"We're about to do a rematch," he said, pulling me close, "Wanna play?" I nodded and he walked me over to the table.
"Miller get your ass over here so we can do a rematch!" a deep voice yelled. Braden and I both turned our heads in the direction of the voice and my mouth almost dropped.
This guy was hot. Like Greek God hot. He looked older than the rest of us, but everyone knew who he was. He was wearing shorts and a lei and had sunglasses sitting on top of his dark blond hair.
Braden placed his hand on the small of my back and walked us towards the table. The table was filled with red cups and surrounded by people.
"Miller a rematch means me and Jason against you and Cam, not you and some chick," the guy said.
"She's my girlfriend and she wants to play so stop being a dick and let's play," Braden said, grabbing the small white ball. A smile grew on my face. He called me his girlfriend. We had just been hanging out and going on dates, but he hadn't officially asked me to be his girlfriend.
"Walmart Mcdreamy stop standing there and prepare to get your ass beat," Braden said.
The guy looked at me dead in the eye and smirked, "Game on."

Present
"And then we beat there asses in beer pong, Braden and I got wasted and went to his room and ha-"
"Ok stop," Ev said, throwing his hands up in disgust, "Don't finish!" I started laughing and grabbed my water off of the coffee table. Mid story, Everett got up and grabbed a beer and water.
That halloween I will always remember because one, it was the first time I played beer pong; two it was the night Will and Jenna got together; and three because of the hot guy I beat in beer pong.
"Now," I said, "It's my turn." Everett looked at me and frowned, "You said I could ask anything."
"What do you want to know?" Everett asked, taking a gulp out of his beer.
"I want to kno-" I was interrupted by banging on the door. My eyes darted and Everett jumped up and ran to the door. I followed him and then noticed that he was holding his gun.
"Ev no!" I whisper yelled. I wasn't the biggest fan of guns, but him being a cop meant I was going to have to live with the fact that there would be a gun in the apartment.
Everett pushed me behind him and peaked in the peephole. He lowered the gun and unlocked the door.
He twisted the knob and slowly opened the door, "Sir I think you hav-" Everett said before a fist collided with his face.
I let out a scream as Everett fell to the floor, clutching his cheek. I ran over to him and fell to the floor, making sure he was ok.
Laying on the floor beside him was his gun, so I grabbed it and pointed it at the person standing at the door.
"Lucy, don't shoot!" Harrison said.
My mouth fell open, and Everett sat up and shoved it out of my shaking hands. My eyes darted to the gun that was laying on the floor, and back to Harrison, who was standing in the doorway rubbing his knuckles.
"You've gotta be fucking kidding me!"
