Chapter Song: Wanted - Hunter Hayes

Chapter 45:

(Kerri's POV)

I look at the bodies that filled the room, they were all covered in monotone colors and they all were quite scary in my perspective.

"Great! The daddy's girl is here!" Diana cries out and everyone turns their heads to look at me.

That's the last fucking straw. I have done nothing to deserve her treating me this way.

"I think you need to keep your mouth shut," I snap back and fit my lips into a fine line.

She glares at me.

By now everyone's eyes have landed on our conversation, including Grey's. The scene gets more intense as we glare at each other.

"There's no way you can make me stop. I say what I want, when I want. Get over it darling," she snarls and winks.

"My father ran out and left my mom and I when she had my sister. I have mere memories of my father and the ones I do have are filled with anger, violence, and a lot of abuse. Daddy's girl, no. Good little girl, no. Keep your mouth to yourself you dirty skank."

My rant leaves me breathless and leaves Diana there without a word to spill.

I pull myself together, shove my shaky hands into my pockets and walk into the bathroom, still holding my bag from classes on my back.

Everyone watches my every move: from where I started at the front of the room to when I shut the white door to the bathroom.

I pull my phone out of my back pocket and set it on the marble counter top before sitting on the bathroom floor.

I can't even sit on my own bed and have a conversation with my fabulous roommate because:

1. I don't have a fabulous roommate.
2. There are about three people who have currently taken over my bed.

I know that she's just trying to get under my skin because I knew Grey and I know she knows we were what we were because it was pretty obvious by the way we awkwardly looked at each other. 

I lay my head on the cold tiles and a few short moments later the door creaks open. I sit up straight and look at the dark figure standing tall.

He's taller than me by at least six inches, just think how tall he looks now.
He shuts the door and keeps a straight face, looking at himself in the mirror, not even glancing at me.

I clear my throat to get his attention after he fixes his perfectly messy hair.

He looks down and mocks shock.

"Oh my, I didn't know you were in here!" His shock is far from sincere and I flip him off.

"Grey, you watched come in here," I state bluntly.

He gives a laugh and a award winning smirk," I think you've got me messed up with another guy darling."

"Hmm, what's this?" he asks and picks up my phone.

He looks it over.

"A phone?" I question his sanity with an odd look on my face. Don't you just love sarcasm.

He hands the phone to me," sarcasm doesn't suit you. Aren't smarties like you supposed to be using huge words?"

I roll my eyes. I've had enough of his minds games for one lifetime.

I stand up, pick up my bag and glare at him, seeing as he's standing in front of the door.

I clear my throat.

"Whatever could you want?" he asks sarcastically.

I tap my foot," you're in front of the door."

"I am, am I?"

"Yeah, mind moving, there bigfoot?" I ask with an icy glare.

He nods and moves over the slightest bit.

I attempt to open the door. My how three inches of movement help!

"You sure you know how to open a door?" he asks smartassily.

I shot him a glare and attempt to push him over. Fail from hell.

"Fuck off," I mutter and shove my heel into his toes.

He bends over to clutch his toes in pain so I get the chance to open the door and escape.

Grey mutters a phrase before I shut the door to Diana's and I's dorm.

I cannot believe this. I cannot get away from him. I spent the last year, year and a half without his disgrace and now I'm having to dodge the mistake of a man.

I sit on the floor and lean my head against the concrete walls. I shut my eyes and let myself retrace the events that have occurred since I first got here.
After running through everything I open my eyes and find Justin sitting on the ground beside me.

"You were mumbling something about hate?" he states with a friendly smile.

I return his smile, I can't help it, it's so damn contagious.

"Yeah…" I trail off and look away.

He sits up and turns towards me.

"Bad day?" he questions with risen eyebrows.

I nod and straighten out my legs, seeing as there is hardly any traffic.

He smiles once again," so, tell me about it!"

I giggle girlishly and straighten my posture.

"Its kinda a--"

"Long story, no kidding, everything's a long story with you. But with me, I love long stories," he cuts in.

"But--"

"Yeah, even the boring ones you dread."

I can't help but smile.

You really wanna hear about my ex?

"Well it started this morning, I woke up late and almost missed classes. Ditched you for sleep, unintentionally," we both manage a laugh," then classes were boring and I got to come home to my dorm filled with my roommates horrible friends."

He raises his eyebrows as he watches me catch my breath.

"That's it?"

I nod. All except about being trapped by my ex in a bathroom. I decided not to make it weird.

He laughs," I hope you have a better day tomorrow."

I roll my eyes playfully," I plan on it. This time, you won't get left hanging."

"Pinky promise?" he asks with an even brighter smile. He throws his pinky in the air and watches as I link mine with his.

"Promise." Our eyes connect and our pink promise is held longer than intended.

We both pull away from the link as the devil worshipper meeting has finally ended and they are exiting hell.

Just his pinky was soft and warm.…

This potential relationship between Justin and Kerri is getting cuter by the second. I hope you enjoyed!! It took a while because I've only been writing chunks of it at a time since I have only limited time. It may be spotty and some important details were left out before I reread it. Like I never mentioned the guy that came into the bathroom was Grey. Lol. I had to fix it. Anyways, love you guys! Comment and Vote!! -C
