TAYLORI lean into the door; it had been three hours since I gave River a bowl of porridge and some tablets to relieve the pain. I wonder if she felt better or if she had passed out. I press my ear more into the hardwood door and try to listen for any sound of her breathing, but I do not hear anything."She is probably sleeping," Talia had said when I called her just ten minutes ago. When I saw River collapsing to the ground because of period pain, I knew that the only person who could tell me what to do was Talia. I would have to explain the situation to her, but at least she was not going to look at me as if I were weird.She was shocked that I managed to keep the fact that I had a female roommate away from her. However, she was too helpful to make sure that I got everything I had to get. Even when I was trying to go overboard, she was the one who somehow kept me grounded.I open the door as slowly and quietly as I can and stand in the middle of the room. The door is left open, so I

RIVERFinally, it was a new week, and I felt much better; everything that Taylor had done that seemed over the top had eventually paid off. I was going to run off in the morning to avoid Taylor, but I felt bad since he had gone home to get a car."Good morning, sweetheart." Tyalor is standing by his open door. I watch him close the door and step out. He is wearing a nice pair of black trousers and a basic shirt with a jacket right on it, yet it makes him look like he put in some kind of extra effort.Maybe his hair? I turn and pick the box of cereals in the cupboard, tending to the bowl I have set on the kitchen counter as I begin to pour some. I want to ask him to stop calling me 'sweetheart', but that bit was already getting old, and I did kind of enjoy it. Why was I being a hypocrite to myself?"Do you have an early class?" Taylor continued when I did not respond to his greeting. Everything was going to be fine, but I just had to find a way to make it weird, didn't I?I clench my th

RIVERJavier's call did not come, and no matter how long I waited, it seemed like night was coming, so when Taylor called and said he was still in school, I agreed to hitch a ride with him. The car is silent after the initial greeting between us."I am sorry about this morning," I confess because I felt bad for blowing him off."Oh, it's okay, sweetheart," he murmured, eyes firmly on the road even though I stared long and hard at him. I had to admit he had a really good side profile; looking at him from this angle made my heart race just a little. "I am sure you both have things to talk about as friends.""About that," I smack my lips together. Why did I need to explain the situation to him? Was it because he was my roommate, or was there another reason my mind was uncomfortable with?"What about that?" he urged as I stood there trying to find the best way to tell him that even though I rejected him on Saturday night, here I was accepting him already."I know I said that I was not int

RIVERI have never wanted to stay in bed till nighttime like this. I knew boys were a bad idea, but I never knew how bad an idea they were until this moment. I roll in bed, and my eyes catch on the clock. It would be weird for me to stay away from school for no reason, so I throw off the covers and hype myself up because I need it.The person staring at me in the mirror is definitely not me. The bags underneath my eyes are bigger than when I stay up nights reading. I searched up how to get rid of eye bags in a moment, and the videos talk about cold spoons over the eyes. I pop my head out of the door, trying to ensure that I do not run into Taylor. I had not only been mean to him last night, but I also did not think I dared to face him just yet. Tiptoeing as quietly as I can, I pop two spoons into the fridge and wait with my eyes darting around the room to stay on guard.The door creaks open, and my breath hitches in my throat. Taylor stood by the door, a bit startled to see me there.

RIVER"No, no, no," I shake my head as I realise what Taylor's meaning of fun was. I had expected him to take me to a bar that was probably open at midday because it suited his personality better, not a paintball shooting range. The thought of guns terrified me, even if they did not contain real bullets."No?" The corner of his lips went up in confusion as his head tilted. "What does 'no' mean?""No means I am not going in there," I pout at the building in front of us. His eyes followed my hands as if he was not aware and then landed back on me."But we agreed to come here.""That was before I knew that this was your idea of fun.""This is not my only idea; there are a lot of others...""Then why don't we go there?" I cut him off because I could not imagine myself holding a gun. Reading a book in a serene environment was much better."Because this is the best one to take your mind off everything," he said. I could see how he was trying hard to console me, and even though I was gratefu
