"She's gone?"
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM5bAwcdZF5
"Yep."
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGqY38lr46G
"When did she leave?"
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ52IMc4l6hO
"Just this morning."

Elizabeth Pratt is no longer in my life. Her residence is now at Foothill Hall, the residence for Freshman. I stayed in my room, refusing to leave it until she did. Everyone thought I was out, but I was not. I watched from the cracked door as Doug and Carlee and Bridget and Daniel and Monica helped carry her stuff out the room, down the stairs. Trunk after trunk, suitcase after suitcase.

I couldn't muster enough courage to walk out the room, to face her after what happened at Doug's match. The painful look on her face struck a chord in me that hasn't been played since the night I found Jessie fucking my best friend.

Pain.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo8z1xDySmf
Loneliness.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJDkLxh36C
I quietly shut the door and lay on my bed, wallowing in my own self-pity.

"So, are you guys over then? No more playing around for you." Teddy teases, pushing my shoulder.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5YyzT3CatM
"I ended things; it was for the better."
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0EFS3Nb5eG
"What was for the better?" asked Jace as he sits his tray on the table. We're are currently in the school's cafeteria. I don't come here often, but since I called in sick to work and called off my classes, I have all the time in the world.

The thought of having to do equations and filing books seemed ludicrous to me. I don't want to do anything, I can't do anything. The pit of guilt in my stomach has been bubbling up to the surface, dancing and screaming and laughing inside of me.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡThI9k32CiX
I made a promise to not hurt Elizabeth, and if I did, I would ripe every fiber from my being.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbId47ZlRWz
That's impossibly impossible.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnmNhOzJFxV
"Andreas here cut all ties with Eliza. And the worst thing, he won't tell us what happened between them." Teddy explained, squirting out Ketchup all over his fries.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnOeDumsOs
I groan, punching my fork into my salad. I hate salad, but I need to meet weight this week. My mind punctures me once I realize I have a football game tomorrow against Norte Dame. This game is important, we beat them then it's on to Washington then, hopefully, the championships.

"That's not fair, we tell you everything," said Jace.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKiGtqNQB9Y
"It's not something that needs to be talked about, we're done and that's it. Don't you two have better things to do than worry about me."
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡssHXIPRvO8
"Do we, Teddy?"
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJ5gnp05Ci
"No, we do not Jace. Please, tells us." They both lean back in their chairs, interested in hearing about my woes.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsY5qllPSQ3
If I don't tell them now, they will keep asking and asking, "It was getting too serious, so I ended it. That's all you need to know because that's the only thing in the situation. Now, can we eat in peace?" My voice held irritation.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡra3rRasSIn
We spend the rest of our time eating and playing on our phones. Teddy and Jace start a conversation while I stare off in the distance.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdX0Yp4VmwA
Contemplating my life.

Elizabeth's P.O.V-
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIMpTDAAbop
Mary Allen was my new roommate here at Foothill Hall. I think her other roommate moved out, I wonder why, no one ever told me.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3I8A7eUQgC
Bridget and the others helped me move out all my stuff, Andreas sat in his room while we did the heavy lifting. He acted like I didn't know he was there; I could see his eye peeking through the door. For a moment, I stood there and stared, he didn't move, and neither did I.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwpEzXHmdZp
I remember making a joke with Daniel on my first day here that I wished my roommate would be a virgin Christian girl, and that is what the universe has bestowed upon me.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbFiQu4N81a
Every night she bows in front of her bed, praying to God. It takes her all of 20 minutes, at one point I thought she was reciting the entire bible. She refuses to change in front of me, and I've never seen her wear a pair of pants.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5UnxKnXYc2
When I'm on the phone with Jill, she looks at me with a sour tone when I curse or do anything that would be improper of a young woman. I thought she would set me on the fire with the heated look in her blue eyes.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTCV0y2QDV
Mary Allen and I may not last that long as roommates.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHAF1Wz17RN
Every Monday she has her bible study group over, which means I need to leave the room for approximately 3 hours and find something to do. During that time, I walk to the third floor above me to Jill's room where she tells me about Daniel, her classes, and how she thinks she has a rash on her butt.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi9n2rXtYtD
"I'm telling you Eliza; I have a red rash on my ass! I don't know where it came from."
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZphhAqHDK
I laugh inside her star-shaped pillow, "Go to the doctor."
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5nxkVoxkMc
"I'm scared of the doctor!"
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUWkZ7PoQkG
"Then how is it supposed to get taken care of?"
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwamWpQrdRk
"I don't know!" She screams, scaring any animal in a 50-yard radius.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfLpnnP6EBq
"You are entertaining Jillian Del Campo." I grin at her.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbN5Tkr0xet
She sits on the window sill of her room, Tana left over an hour ago having to go take her test. It's just been Jill and I for about an hour.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzgWrExi6PL
"I'm glad you're finding this entertaining." She turns to me. "Daniel has asked me out on a date."
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYeWNTEmWq
I almost fall off the bed at the news, "Are you serious! When did this happen? What are you going to wear? Where is he going to take you?"
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOCpUGfRqJ1
She holds up her hands, "Eliza, one question at a time. He asked me out yesterday when we were hanging out at the coffee shop. I just got done studying for my Algebra test and he was nearby, and he asked me. It was horrible, I was in the middle of eating Tiramisu, and the powder caught in my throat and almost choked me. He had to Heimlich me; it was so embarrassing. I surely thought after that he would be done with me, but he wasn't. He wanted to take me to the park, on a picnic."
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxUGjheL5zq
"Daniel on a picnic? I can't picture it."
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSFgaRbi1RO
"Well, you better. You're in charge of doing my hair, I want to look elegant but not like I put in much effort." I watch as she stands in front of the mirror, balling up her black hair, showing off her neck.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9gmGl6UT5p
"Do I have any say in this?" I ask.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH1zoDEIT2r
"No."
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoBLBADyn9V
Then it's final.
