"She's gone?"
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡABfARIT42F
"Yep."
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSzaKdhTlYg
"When did she leave?"
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6qJ6LqRSbw
"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.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK6Yjf2c8nO
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.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWiN8eHtB92
Loneliness.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOMtlOo7EEd
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.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5kUGKn7TpB
"I ended things; it was for the better."
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjE73moX6Ow
"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.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqtxX79hvwp
I made a promise to not hurt Elizabeth, and if I did, I would ripe every fiber from my being.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIRtZTWDEo4
That's impossibly impossible.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2TXQsTAmcR
"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.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDoowNXo7e
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.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz2ptqMWxSj
"That's not fair, we tell you everything," said Jace.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8pmJTLwrNW
"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."
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7fvlWy8iPZ
"Do we, Teddy?"
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIP9AAlPbl8
"No, we do not Jace. Please, tells us." They both lean back in their chairs, interested in hearing about my woes.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVhbl0IsLXi
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.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnxwB86HYbA
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.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLRaDgbFtw
Contemplating my life.

Elizabeth's P.O.V-
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHNCSvAVEJ
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.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ59ZA7UW03O
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.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUkfbX66Mpw
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.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ94MDQDGue
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.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ98cJIxLB2g
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.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrFHr8ZlLN5
Mary Allen and I may not last that long as roommates.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv7wR9AaePV
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.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6NibPGXSQu
"I'm telling you Eliza; I have a red rash on my ass! I don't know where it came from."
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPaCouPbj39
I laugh inside her star-shaped pillow, "Go to the doctor."
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoq1MovYQaG
"I'm scared of the doctor!"
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwzdoSnNykh
"Then how is it supposed to get taken care of?"
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡplYMHa2rNU
"I don't know!" She screams, scaring any animal in a 50-yard radius.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKY5Ex10Hfg
"You are entertaining Jillian Del Campo." I grin at her.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiNU1YTDXBV
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.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSbRgCcKnW9
"I'm glad you're finding this entertaining." She turns to me. "Daniel has asked me out on a date."
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb1j8pyXZrh
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?"
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhujPkZHzPY
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."
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaugjauXMd7
"Daniel on a picnic? I can't picture it."
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKuf8jrLepl
"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.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9BdGffMWw1
"Do I have any say in this?" I ask.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEz9If0bK3u
"No."
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSLay01zLtx
Then it's final.
