Tia's POV

I sat next to Jack as he sat up. I broke his nose, but luckily it didn't get too bad. The doctor was able to give him stitches, and he got a free nose job to put it back into place.

"What even happened?" The doctor asks.

I bit my lip.

"We had a pillow fight and I fell on my face," Jack says.

Nice cover up story.

"How cute," The doctor laughs, "That happened to my wife once. Well you're all good to go. I'll get you checked out."

The doctor left as I looked to Jack.

"I don't think this will work," he says.

"What?" I say.

"Well, one, you keep secrets from me, two, you've avoided staying over at my place and three, you won't have sex with me," he says.

Very true. It's now harder for me to come out to people and even harder to do anything with anyone. All I'd like to do is stay cooped up in my dorm.

"Okay," I say.

"God, I thought we would work," he says , "I mean, we've known each other since middle school. It's because of that Preston guy, isn't it?"

"Yes," I admit.

"If you never met him, I bet none of this would happen," he says, "I wish he never came into your life!"

The fuck did he say??

"You bastard, don't blame this on him, you had your chance and you didn't take it!" I say angrily.

"What? I had what chance? I'm not the one in high school who was sleeping with every football player, and now has a body count of eighty!" He says.

"Fuck you, you weren't there when..." I say, "when my dad cheated on my mom!"

"Big fucking deal, I was there when your brother died!" He says, "maybe if you didn't keep it a secret about his suicidal journal, he would've been here today!"

"Fuck you, find your own way home," I say leaving.

"Oh no you don't-..."

I tear my arm away from him as I run to the elevator. I made it into a crowded elevator just in time as it shut on Jack.

I ran to my car as I drove off. I never realized how fucking crazy Jack was. He has some major flaws: obsession, anger and death wishes.

As I ran to my dorm I ran I shut every window and locked my door.

I was scared out of life. Jack is insane.

"Oh my god... oh my god..." I mutter.

As night fell, I couldn't sleep, I couldn't move... my heart dropped to my stomach as I saw lights outside my dorm.

"What is this?" I say as Marina calls me, "Hello?"

"Hey girly, get out here! There's a party going on! By the way, where's Jack?" She asks.

Not here thank god.

"Oh, it's a long story, we got into a fight," I say walking outside.

"Well, oh well, just get out here and come! It's so much fun!" She says.

"Okay, well I-..."

Preston's POV

I drank a shot with Tyler on the beach. I was finally twenty-one, and old enough to drink.

"It's been great, but I think this world could've been better," I say as we sit in the beach chairs together.

"Man, it's been over three years, and we still haven't accomplished much," Tyler says.

"You're about to, so when are you going to propose?" I ask him.

"I need the right time and place- speak of the devil," he says looking up at Morgan, "hey babe, we were just talking about you."

"Get up you lazy ass!" She yells at me.

Tyler looks at me confused.

"Babe, chill out, we'll tell Jake to stop leaving soda cans in the lawn," Tyler says.

"No, you morons! Celestia got hit by a car!" She says angrily, "if you want to come support, then grab your shirt and leave tonight!"

I felt my heart sunk into my stomach.

Tia?
