Chapter 2

(Eryck)

"Hey where were you at last night?" I asked making my bed as Toney walked in smiling.

"Paradise" Toney said leaning up against the door, staring off.

"Paradise?" I asked smiling, "with Omar?"

"Hell no!" Toney said walking past me as he started to undress, "that idiot wouldn't even know how to get there."

"Then where was this paradise and who took you there?" I asked as I sat down on my bed.

"Do you really want to know?" Toney asked smiling as I wondered if I should answer.

"Toney you didn't do anything bad did you?" I asked worried.

"No!" Toney said, "but promise me you won't say anything?"

"Uh oh" I said not wanting to know, as I made up my bed.

"Why did you say that?" Toney asked.

"Because I think that you're about to say something quite upsetting" I said finishing as Toney sat next to me.

"No not at all but it does involve Omar" Toney said as I shook my head, "what!"

"What did you do to this boy now, Toney?" I asked as he rolled his eyes.

"Now there you go again taking his side and not listening to mine" Toney said getting upset as he got up and went to his closet.

"Toney no one is taking sides but why do you treat him so coldly?" I asked as I walked up behind him. He ignored me and continued looking for something to wear.

"Toney?" I said screaming his name.

"What?" Toney asked turning around to face me upset.

"Why do you treat Omar this way?" I asked him as Toney walked past me and laid a shirt on his bed, "I mean one minute you guys are together and the next minute you aren't. You guys are worse than Jayse and Brandon."

(Jayse)

I woke up as the sun shined on my face through the blinds. I smiled to myself as I marveled at the sunlight. I looked over at Max's bed as I saw it made up and empty.

Max normally woke me up if he was leaving but he just left and didn't say anything this time. I shrugged it off and got out of bed as I walked out my room and into the bathroom that I shared with my other two roommates next door.

The dorms were set up weird with two rooms sharing a bathroom. There was a lobby on each floor and of course the dorms were separated by gender. I hated it but Justus and Jamie said that I should just try staying in the dorms for a year and get my own place after.

"Morning Jayse" Mehete said coming out his room at the same time as me. Mehete was a Chinese and African American mix guy, that was about the same height as me, weight but not the same tone. Whereas my skin tone was a nice almond brown, Mehete's skin tone was a nice pale brown. Mehete had nice silky black hair that he kept cut low and big brown eyes. He was attractive but not my taste.

His roommate was Rico, this Hispanic kid that was never in his dorm. I only heard of Rico but have yet to meet him.

"Hey Mehete" I said as he held his towel in his hand.

"Were you going to use the shower right now?" Mehete asked as I stared at him blankly. I wanted to say yes but I didn't want to be rude.

"Were you?" I asked as Mehete laughed and I joined him.

"Yes I was but if you were going I can wait" Mehete said as I backed up to my door.

"No, no um...go ahead" I said, "I have a late class today anyway so I can wait."

"Are you sure?" Mehete asked.

"Yeah I'm positive" I said opening my door, "just knock on my door when you're done."

"Ok" Mehete said sadly, probably feeling bad for going but I just wanted to seem more polite. I closed my door and went walking towards my phone as it glowed, signaling that I had a text message.

I grabbed my phone and looked to see who it was but rolled my eyes upon noticing who the sender was. It was Terrance, wishing me a great first day of school. I sighed as I placed the phone back on the dresser and laid back down, waiting to wash off the loneliness once again.

(Max)

"So you just left your room without letting Jayse know where you were going?" Rich asked as we sat in the café drinking coffees and sharing donuts.

"Well I'm sure he knows that I wanted to get a head start on my classes and spend more time with you" I said taking a sip of my coffee.

"Well babe I'm not asking you to ditch your cousin for me all the time" Rich said starting out, "like I said, I just have to realize that you guys are family. I need to respect that!"

"No" I said placing my coffee cup down and grabbing Rich's cold hands, "I need to start realizing who I am with and let Jayse grow up. You're right! I have been protecting him too much lately and I cannot keep doing that. I wish him the best though."

I stared off blankly as I said that statement wondering if I was doing the right thing. I cannot believe I just ditched Jayse like that without even caring if he found his classes ok today. I can't lose Rich but I want to be a great cousin to Jayse too. I shook my head and snapped back into reality as I stared into my lovely boyfriend's eyes.

"Thank you" Rich said taking a bite of a donut as he fed me the rest.

"For what?" I asked with a mouth full.

"For showing me how much you care for me" Rich said smiling as I stroked his face.

"I love you" I said staring at his lovely face.

"I love you more" Rich said as we kissed in the café. I enjoyed feeling his full lips cover mine as we enjoyed a beautiful morning kiss. I didn't have a care in the world and wanted to enjoy this moment forever.

(Toney)

"Whoa" I said offended, "I love Jayse but do not compare my relationship to those two."

"Why?" Eryck asked sitting back down on his bed, "those two are soul mates! I am still rooting for them."

"Really?" I asked Eryck laughing.

"What's so funny?" Eryck asked me as I sat down on my bed taking off my shoes.

"The chances of those two getting together are about as slim as a snowball's chance in hell" I said smiling.

"Toney that's not fair" Eryck said frowning.

"Eryck" I said looking at him, "come on ok! I love Jayse but Brandon is not right for him. The guy is nothing but trouble and only cares about himself. I mean he killed Krush point blank."

"To defend Jayse, Toney!" Eryck screamed, "think of everything that they went through last year..."

"And yet Jayse wants nothing to do with him, or Q, or Terrance" I said continuing to undress.

"I don't care what you, Max or anyone else says" Eryck said as I sighed, "Jayse and Brandon will get back together because they are the perfect examples of true love!"

"Ok" I said giving up, "if you say so. Um, while you're basking in the thought of true love, I'm going to take a shower."

"Whatever" Eryck said as his and my phone rang at the same time. I went to my phone knowing who it was as I picked it up excitedly.

"Hello?" I asked walking out my room with just my jeans and underwear on.

"Good morning sexy" Onyx said as I blushed.

"Good morning yourself" I said walking down the hall as a few guys stared at me.

"What you up to?" Onyx asked me as I sat on the couch in the hall.

"Getting ready for class" I said smiling.

"Oh is that right?" Onyx asked as I laughed, "what's so funny?"

"Nothing" I said smiling.

"You always sound this cute on the phone?" Onyx asked, "I might have to call you more often?"

"I didn't know that I had a cute voice" I said giving in.

"Your voice isn't the only thing cute about you" Onyx said, "what do you have on?"

"Why do you want to know?" I asked as I looked around to make sure that no one was listening to my conversation.

"Because..." Onyx said stopping in mid sentence.

"Because what?" I asked smiling.

"You gonna make me say it?" Onyx asked as I thought about what he was asking.

"Say what?" I asked confused.

"All right if you gonna twist my arm this early in the morning" Onyx said giving in, "I'll play your game with you. You want me to say that I want to know what my baby has on."

I blushed at the sound of that, because this guy was trying so hard to get with me. Believe it or not, I wanted the same thing.

(Max)

I looked down at my phone to make sure that Jayse nor the guys had hit me up since I had it turned off. Rich and I finished our breakfast and then he walked me to class.

"So you ready to take the acting world by storm?" Rich asked me as we stood in front of the theatre department.

"I think so" I said nervous.

"C'mon babe you can do this" Rich said holding my hand as students started walking inside the building.

"How can you be so sure?" I asked facing him as he stared into my eyes.

"Because no one can act like you" Rich said as I blushed, "and I'm not just saying that! I mean you auditioned to get into this school and babe look at you! This school has one of the best drama departments in the south! An agent is just waiting for you to perfect your craft."

"So this is it huh?" I asked holding his hand.

"This is it baby" Rich said smiling as I joined him, "you want me to walk you inside?"

"No go ahead to class" I said giving him a kiss on the cheek, "I'll see you later."

"Love you" Rich said walking away.

"I love you too!" I said standing on the steps as he walked down the street towards the law building. I waited until he was out of sight as I picked up my phone and dialed Jayse's number. His phone went straight to voicemail as I sighed. I hope I was doing the right thing by giving Jayse tough love.

I just had to be there for Rich more now. I still cared for Jayse but I didn't want to leave Rich.

I placed my phone in my pocket as I walked inside of the theatre room. The stage was gorgeous and I imagined myself standing up there with an audience packed waiting to feast their eyes on my performance.

I sat two rows from the stage as people started to slowly walk in. I placed my phone on silent, after I looked at it one last time making sure that Jayse or the guys were calling me.

"Hi is anyone sitting next to you?" a guy asked me standing near my row.

"Um...no" I said moving my bag from the seat next to me, "not at all."

I watched the guy walk past me and skip the seat next to me. He was average height, Italian, with olive skin and black hair. He had piercing green eyes and thin pink lips.

"Hi my name is Antony" he said extending his large hands for me to shake after he sat down.

"Nice to meet you Antony" I said shaking his hand, "my name is Maxwell but everyone calls me Max."

"Nice to meet you Max" Antony said smiling as he reached in his backpack for his script. I reached inside for mine as well as I looked around and saw how many kids were in this classroom. It was a medium crowd but I was assuming that most of them were probably just taking the class as an elective.

I started studying my script as the nervous jitters began taking place. Oh well, here we go!

(Eryck)

"Morning baby" Mario said seductively as I blushed.

"Morning to you too" I said getting up from my bed and grabbing my books, "how did you sleep last night?"

"A little bit of pain here and there but nothing major" Mario said, "I uh, I wanted to apologize for last night."

I stopped in mid walk from the words that Mario just uttered. He was a very proud guy and rarely apologized for anything.

"Apology accepted" I said smiling after a brief silence.

"You getting ready for class?" Mario asked as I gave him a light `yes' while I continued getting ready.

"You mind if I walk you to class?" Mario asked sincerely as I blushed.

"No not at all" I said as I threw my backpack over my shoulder, "I'm actually on my way out right now."

"Cool" Mario said, "I'll meet you outside."

"Bye" I said hanging up. I sighed happily as I thought about how sweet Mario could be when he wanted to. Mario and I have been dating since the 7th grade. As a matter of fact, our 6 year anniversary is in a couple of months and he hasn't once brought it up. I guess I shouldn't be to hurt about the situation because it has been an up and down relationship lately.

I just felt like something was missing and that maybe our relationship was running its course. We weren't as close with each other as we used to be and I could only bring that on the fact that he's been very verbal with me lately.

What I mean is that, he's just been really aggressive with his words and the way he talks to me. He's never been like this before, which makes me wonder when and how it all started.

I grabbed my keys and walked out my room door as I passed by Toney on the phone blushing away at who knows. I just know for a fact that it wasn't Omar! I shook my head with disgust as I walked out the dorm room and saw Mario sitting on the steps waiting patiently.

I tiptoed to him as I placed my hands over his chocolate face concealing his view. I felt his cheeks raise up, signaling that he was smiling as I blushed.

"Guess who Mr. Goodbar" I said to him, a nickname I gave him years ago.

"I don't know" Mario said smoothly, "uh...someone very sexy?"

"Hmmm...yeah" I said blushing, "does he have a name?"

"Delicious?" Mario asked as I continued blushing.

"No" I said kissing his cheek, "c'mon!"

"C'mon baby" Mario said giving in, "I knew it was you."

"Then why were you playing hard to get?" I asked removing my hands as he turned around and hugged me.

"Because I know that you get off on stuff like that" Mario stated confidently.

"Sort of" I said as we walked towards my building.

"What's up guys?" Omar called after us as we turned around to face him.

"Nothing much man" Mario said shaking Omar's hand, "what's up with you?"

"On my way to get Toney" Omar said as I held back my emotion, "is he still getting dressed Eryck? I've been calling him all morning but his phone just keeps going straight to voicemail."

"Uh..." I said trying to think of an excuse, "I think so."

"Well I'll just go up and see" Omar said about to walk away, "catch you guys later."

"Ok man" Mario said laughing.

"What's so funny?" I asked looking back as I saw Omar walk inside the dorm.

"Nothing I just wish my boy would read between the lines and drop Toney" Mario said as we walked. I sighed to myself thinking the same thing.

(Toney)

"Why are you always calling me your baby?" I asked blushing.

"Because that's who you are" Onyx stated.

"I told you that you have to do a lot more than just kiss me real good if you want me to be your baby" I stated.

"Oh yeah?" Onyx asked, "like what?"

"Do I have to say it!" I said, "you're smart figure it out!"

"Naw I want to know exactly what I have to do in order for you to be mines" Onyx said as I blushed.

"Take me out" I said starting out, "buy me things, treat me nice, have good conversation, great personality..."

"Ok, ok" Onyx said cutting me off, "sounds like you never were introduced to the finer things before?"

"What makes you say that?" I asked concerned.

"Because you looking for all of this makes me wonder what you've been given" Onyx said.

"I've been given a lot but some things I would rather forget" I said thinking.

"Like what?" Onyx asked.

"God you're nosey!" I said laughing as Eryck walked out our room past me.

"No I'm not" Onyx said, "I'm in love!"

I paused for a second as I walked back in my dorm room and began getting undressed. I waited for Onyx to say something but he never did so I continued.

"Are you going to answer my question or not?" Onyx asked as I wrapped a towel around my waist.

"Answer what Onyx" I said, "I really don't want to tell you something like this over the phone."

"Fair enough" Onyx said, "what time is your first class?"

"In a few minutes" I said walking towards my door as someone knocked from the other side.

"Sounds like you have a visitor" Onyx said listening.

"Wow you really are nosey" I said laughing as I opened the door to find Omar on the other side.

"Who are you on the phone with?" Omar said looking me up and down before speaking.

"I got to go" I said upset as I was about to hang up my phone.

"Well call..." Onyx said as I hung up.

"What do you want?" I asked Omar as he looked at me.

"Who were you on the phone with?" Omar asked again as he looked around my dorm room.

"Why is that any of your business?" I asked Omar as he tried to walk in, "what are you doing?"

"Trying to get in so that these guys can stop walking by looking at you" Omar said to me as he turned around and caught a guy looking at me, "hey hombre, ¿qué estás buscando en?"

I loved it when Omar spoke Spanish and he only did it when he was either upset or talking with his family.

I watched him as he pushed me into the room and closed the door behind himself as I stumbled to the wall.

"Omar will you stop!" I screamed upset, "I don't want to talk to you anymore!"

Omar came walking towards me, with that sexy swagger of his as he ripped my towel off of me and picked me up in his arms.

I let out a light moan, enjoying being man handled like this as I wrapped my legs around his waist.

"Te quiero" Omar said as he kissed me deeply on the lips. I started to melt like butter as he caressed my naked body.

(Jayse)

I stared off blankly at my ceiling as Mehete knocked at my room door saying that he was finished. I sighed to myself as I grabbed my towel from the end of my bed and continued walking.

I was immediately hit by the fragrance of Mehete's body wash which smelled like mango peach. I thought it was kind of weird for a guy to have something that smelled so feminine but remembered that I used Vanilla shampoo.

My shower was everything I thought it would be: steamy and hot! If only my love life was like this again but I just didn't want to date the same guys that I had before. I didn't want a guy that was sincere like Terrance, or a guy that was defiant like Q, and especially a protector like Brandon.

Saying his name just made my heart literally skip a beat. I began to cry softly hoping that the noise from the shower would block out my sounds. I hated what I was doing but I knew that it was the right thing to do. The same back and forth relationship I had with those guys for a year had to die.

I couldn't continue stringing any of them along anymore. It was time for me to grow up and focus on better things. As I finished my shower, I exited back into my room and finished getting ready. I grabbed my bags, books and keys as I headed out my door.

The nervousness started kicking in! I started thinking what my classmates would be like and how they would act. My major was Journalism and I was hoping to at least try and get a career as an author with it.

I walked out the main dorm doors as I saw Q walking over. I shook my head as I turned the other way.

"Jayse please don't walk away from me!" Q yelled behind me.

"Q I swear I am so not in the mood right now!" I said as I continued walking away.

"But Jayse you're not even giving me a chance" Q said finally catching up with me.

"Why should I Q?" I asked turning around to face him, "I mean you followed me to this school..."

"That's not true!" Q said quickly.

"...You stalk me at every chance you get" I continued.

"Jayse c'mon ok" Q said not listening.

"And out of Terrance, Brandon and yourself, you are the only one that is pressuring me so much!" I stated.

"Jayse I just want you to see how much I care for you" Q said apologetically.

"Q if you care for me then give me some breathing room" I begged, "please!"

"What if you forget about me?" Q asked sincerely after a brief moment of silence, "what if you decide that you would rather someone else? What am I supposed to do then?"

"I...I don't know" I said feeling trapped in a corner.

"Look Jayse" Q said as I sighed, "let's go out one last time..."

"Q I have to get to class" I said starting to walk away again.

"Please Jayse!" Q said still standing behind me as I sighed and stopped. I turned around slowly as I stared at him from a distance, "I just want one more chance and I promise I will leave alone."

"Do you mean that?" I asked giving in like a sucker.

"Yes I promise Jayse" Q said walking slowly towards me, "I promise that I will not bother you, stalk you, beg, plead, or harass you anymore if you don't want to be with me after this. Just please give me one last chance, please!"

I exhaled so much air from my lungs as I shook my head slowly. I knew I was falling for something but I could only hope that Q would sincerely mean what he was saying.

"Ok" I said in a low voice.

"Really?" Q said excitedly as I gave him a look and he calmed down, "sorry."

"But I'm serious Q" I said starting out, "you cannot keep doing this to me. You have to go and live your life!"

"Once I have you again, I can!" Q said as I tried hard to not blush.

"You don't mean that" I said shaking my head as Q grabbed my chin softly. He stared at me for a few minutes as I returned the favor. I couldn't help myself and began finding what little qualities I like so much about him. They slowly starting erasing what I hated about him as I started smiling.

"What are you smiling about?" Q asked softly as he let his hand go from my chin.

"Just thinking about last year this time when we started talking" I said as Q smiled too.

"It's funny but I was thinking the exact same thing" Q said, "the best Christmas I ever had!"

"Really?" I asked blushing.

"Yes!" Q said, "I'm serious Jayse, no one means so much to me than you! No one! I realize that I messed up but just think about it for a minute. Do you honestly think that I'm out to hurt you?"

I started thinking back at what Q was doing for me all along and how if I placed myself in his shoes, I could see where he was coming from. We did have fun with each other the little while we talked. I just didn't want to be hurt anymore and I wanted him to be honest with me. I'll give this date thing a try and maybe we could start out as friends but it was going to take a lot for me to start dating him again.
