You Saved Me Once Book 1

Chapter 48: 32I wasn’t in the right head-space

When I finally came to it, I was in another frat boys’ room, this time laying on their bed. However, now Rochelle is right beside me, holding my hand. The room was almost pitch black, but I could still see her, Adam, Lorene, and a college boy that looked familiar.

It was the guy from earlier, the one that was with Rochelle. He smiles forcedly at me, almost in pity. When Adam notices that I’m up, he rushes over to me, with both joy and sadness. He’s been crying, he’s wiping tears off his cheeks now.

“Alex.” Was all he could say to me.

I was able to make up a smile, not assuring him that I was okay, but letting him know I was happy to see him.

The room went quiet again, I felt like everyone was staring at me, even though they were. It took me a while to make out any words, when I finally did the mood changed.

“Where’s Hayes?” I ask.

The room is quiet again, a dark quiet as if something had hap-pened. I look at Rochelle, on the verge of tears.

“Rochelle?” I cry. She looks away before looking at the college boys whose room we bombarded.

That was enough to have him leave the room, then follows Lorene, then Adam. But I knew he’d be right outside the door. It was now just Rochelle and I.

“Rochelle. I’m sorry.” I break out into a heavy cry. She sits on the bed to comfort me. Rubbing my back again and again.

“I’m sorry.” She says to me, before embracing in a hug.

“Is this still the 3rd floor?!” I start to panic.

“Jay is a freshman, so he’s on the 1st floor.” She states.

“Alex, what did he do?” She asks.

“Nothing Rochelle, I’m fine. I-I just got a little too drunk, and he tried to take advantage of me. But you saved me.” I start crying again, she wipes my tears.

“Okay.” She smiles at me.

The room is silent, when Rochelle makes an unexpected con-fession.
