Chapter 13

                                    

                                          
Johns POV
                          
Me and Eliza  both sat in my dorm, neither of us talking we just stared forward at the tv. Currently we were watching some Spanish love show about someone named LuLu. We basically turned the tv and this was on, so we just decided not to change it.
                          
We both awkwardly sat there in complete silence. It usually wasn't this awkward, usually we had conversations but it was due to the fact she was the one that stole Alex was dating. After everything I had planned. 
                          
Right, Alex. Alex was currently in court and they refused to let me or Eliza come. So we both just sat silently in my dorm and wait for him to get back.
                          
"So.. Eliza." I mumbled finally deciding to talk to her.
                          
"John."
                          
"How's life?"
                          
"Good."
                          
Silence.
                          
"So.. how are you and Alex doing?" That certainly caught her attention. She looked at me with a small grin, and her eyes lit up just at the mention of his name.
                          
"Oh, it's been amazing! He's so great. He's such a gentleman as well, he even gave me this locket." She grinned showing me a heart locket that was tied around her neck.
                          
I forced a smile yet again.
                          
She really did love him, I could tell just from the expression on her face. But did he love her? Of course. He was so excited when he told me. But what if he was faking. What if he felt the same way I did, and just didn't want to hurt Eliza?
                          
No. That's stupid. Alex wouldn't do that. If he wasn't happy, he wouldn't be dating her.
                          
I sighed and stared forward, pushing away all my previous thoughts.
                          
Soon the door fiddled open and me and Eliza turned our heads in sync as Alex walked in.
                          
Eliza grinned and stood up and ran over and wrapped her arms around him, "How'd it go?" She murmured, looking up at him.
                          
He paused then grinned, "I argued my way out, and I'm officially free from all the stupid court stuff. But I am banned from the orphanage for a while.."
                          
She snickered, "You dork." She murmured then kissed him. 
                          
I coughed, reminding them of my presence. They both turned to me eyes wide while I stared at them. I tore my gaze away from them and murmured, "I'll leave, if you want me too. I don't want to interrupt anything."
                          
Alex and Eliza shrugged, "Don't care. It's up to you.."
                          
*******
                          
It was after all my classes, so around 4:30. I sat in my dorm, while Alex sat near me, well on his bed typing. Like usual. 
                          
I glanced at him every so often, and stole a few glances from him as well.
                          
I sighed and grabbed out my phone. 
                          
"John?" I looked up, Alex was right in front of me now. 
                          
"Mhm?" I mumbled, then looked back at my phone.
                          
Alex sat beside me and grabbed my chin, then he tilted it making me look at him.
                          
I stared at him, and he stared at me. I got the chills and my heart literally exploded.
                          
No. John. I pulled my head away from him, "What do you need?"
                          
"John, are you alright? You've been acting strange lately.."
                          
Ah, so he's noticed. He was right. I had been acting strange, but how could I not. I hoped no one would notice it, I knew it was a faze. Alex was just a faze. I'll get over it sooner or later. Even if it'll probably be later.
                          
I nodded, "Yea, yea. Why wouldn't I be?" I muttered.
                          
He stared at me, "John, I don't buy it for a second. What's wrong?"
                          
My eyes narrowed, "I said I'm fine, Why does it even matter to you?" I snapped.
                          
Alex stared at me, and I looked at him. My eyes narrowed and I reached over and grabbed my phone, "I have to go."
                          
"John-"
                          
I ignored him and simply just walked out of the dorm.

"John, John slow down!" Peggy said, her eyes huge and she had a hand on my back, trying to comfort me. 
                          
"Alex.. he and Eliza are dating!" Peggy's eyes narrowed, "I know, and? Wait. Oh crap. John, I'm so sorry! Why didn't you tell me sooner?"
                          
I looked at Peggy and shrugged, "I- I don't know. It happened so fast, and it was just yesterday. I had everything planned out and- my god why does the world have to be against me!?"
                          
"The worlds not against you John. Sometimes things don't go as planned, but it'll be alright. Alright?"
                          
I shrugged, and Peggy sighed then repositioned herself to sit right in front of me. She stared right at me with stern face, "John, if Alex doesn't see how amazing you are, then it's his fault. If he doesn't come to his senses soon enough, then forget about him. Don't waste your time. Alright? You're an amazing man with an amazing personality."
                          
I stared at Peggy and she looked at me, then her gaze immediately fell. "But don't think I'm hitting on you." She snickered then hit the back of my head.

Alex's POV
                          
I stared after John as he stormed out of he room. I bit my lip, I didn't understand why he was in such a crappy mood. Last time I checked, I hadn't done anything wrong that would offend or hurt him.
                          
I rolled my eyes, probably those stupid hormones. I sighed and stood up then walked over to my desk.
                          
I sat down in my chair, only for a pink paper to catch my eye.
                          
I blinked then turned my gaze to the trash can. Inside were a bunch of crumpled up papers from me, but there was one pink paper. It was also crumbled up, but something lured me to it.
                          
I don't know what the hell possessed me to make me dig through the trash, but that's what I did. I knew there was only papers in the trash can.
                          
I dug my hand in and grabbed the paper. I pulled it out then slowly uncrumbled it.
                          
The words were just readable and I read the letter.
