Comforting the Roommate | MikefromAZ | 5

 

“Uhhh,” you say letting a double whammy of emotions escape your body via your mouth. You kick your leg back and right into the wall. “First you and then Gia, what is Keith’s problem with taking girls in my life from me?”

looks at you. “, I know you want to be alone right now…”

You cut off which is something you rarely ever do. Sure you have your fights like any other good friends do but you rarely cut eachother off. “Yeah I want to be alone with Keith for five minutes for screwing both you and me up,” you say.

She looks at you with a hint of relief. She says “Well at least we have both been crushed by the combined efforts of Keith and Gia.”

You look at her but then turn your back to her once again. “Yeah but you still tried to go back with Keith after having a few drinks with me in the apartment. I need my space .”

You then walk out of your apartment and slam the door. Scott and Dirk see you leave. Dirk asks, “Where are you going man? Did you find your lady friend?”

You look at them and say, “Yes, sadly I did. I wish I didn’t in the first place.”

You then notice the door next to you open and it is Alicia. Alicia has hated your guts for a long time thinking that all you wanted to do with was get in her pants. She thinks that it was that slammed the door out of rage of something you did. “ are you,” she starts saying before realizing it’s you standing in the hallway and not . “, isn’t she normally the one who storms off and not you?”

“Yeah Alicia she is,” you start saying knowing you have caused this situation several times before as roommates. “This is except when she expects me to be fine with the fact she still tried to get with Keith again just a few hours after breaking up to have a threesome with my former girlfriend Gia whom he has turned into a total slut. She didn’t think that doing that was among the dumbest things she could do after a break up. For crying out loud, she got drunk and she went back to her stupid ex. Who I might add, I wouldn’t be surprised if he beat her.”

Alicia punches you in the arm. “How could you get her drunk on a night like that ? I guess I was right about you, you just want her for a good lay.”

You respond, “First off, she asked me if I wanted to drink with her. I asked if she was sure about that and she said she was. I suggested we do it at home so we wouldn't have to worry about getting back home. I thought she was smarter than that to go back to a verbally abusive bastard like Keith."

"I can see how that changes people's mind about eachother," Alicia says. "I know if anyone I wanted to be with went back with an ex like that, I'd be hurt too. And you know what, I wouldn't give them a chance."

You respond, "But it's not just that bad. And second off I love her, at least I thought I was. I thought I was in love with her but if she pushed me away at a time like this when she needs a friend the most, perhaps I don’t need her at all.”

Alicia covers her mouth with her hand as you walk off. “, I’m sorry,” she says but you do not hear her and if you do you fail to pay attention to her.

You over hear Scott say, “Alicia you better let him be and get to the bottom of it with . It’s not like to walk out of the apartment and away from her.”

You head out of the dormitory and into the warm sunlight. It feels soothing and you start to relax a little as you walk onto the campus green. You close your eyes and soak in the warmth. Then, out of nowhere, a voice interrupts your meditation. "? What are you doing out here," a light female voice asks.

You open one eye and turn around recognizing the voice as Meghan, a girl in your math class. She walks up to you and find you with several tears down your face. “What’s wrong ?”

You have told her about your roommate several times. “Well it’s about .”

Meghan rolls her eyes at the mentioning of . “Don’t tell me you have a crush on her,” she says and you feel the chill of the words despite the warm temperatures.

You say, “Meghan, I have to fess up about . She and I went to junior high school and I always had a spot in my heart for her but we were never single at the same time since we became close. Now yesterday was the first time this happened ever and I fuck it up. I give her pizza and a beer and we both get drunk.”

Meghan looks at you and says, "Giving a broken hearted girl beer, real smart ."

"You don't need to remind me," you say. "But yeah, I get passed out from drinking to find her nowhere in sight because she goes back to that creep Keith who she was with until last night."

“But I thought I’ve seen him with Gia,” she responds.

“Which is why she and Keith broke it off last night,” you respond to her response. “Meghan, Keith was seeing Gia on the side and wanted to have a threesome. She said no, came home, drank with me and thenshe went back with to his room while I was passed out and then she comes back home after I finally wake up and goes looking for her and I think I lost her for good now.”

Meghan hugs you and holds you tight. “I’m sorry . I always knew she was bad news for you. You should be with someone else that adds up.”

“Maybe,” you respond. “I just need time to think.”

Meghan looks at you. "OK," she says. "I'll give you as much time as you need to figure things out."
