All Chapters of BEGIN AGAIN: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

"I asked you for a simple thing, but you couldn't do it, could you Roman?!" I whisper yell, dragging out a half asleep Roman by arm, out of Rosy's room."It's not my fault you resisted when I tried waking you up." He shrugs, rubbing at his eyes."Don't you dare lie, you didn't do such a thing. You just had to keep me here a little longer." I point at his chest."And why would I do that, it's not like I enjoy your company so much that I'd want you to stay any longer." He throws at me.Ouch.I have to take a few seconds to recover from what he's just said. I don't know why that kinda stung."Well if you wanted me nowhere near you so much, why did you even go further with this partnership?" I ask." I couldn't stand to know you'd be some idiot's partner, who knows what they could have been thinking around you or worse, done." He says in disgust.

I've buried myself in bed for the rest of the day, nursing my guilt and trying to get over the look of disappointment that Roman threw my way. If someone were to get a look at me, they'd think I'm going through a breakup. I've been feeling really bad ever since the morning and I haven't had the courage to step out of the room. I cant imagine running into him again, I'll feel much worse. It's better I try feel better now before I see him again.It's both amazing and annoying how much Roman, can still have an effect on me. After all these years, he can make me cry, laugh or downright annoyed and angry, that I wish to strangle the life out of him. I dont understand how it is possible that I wasn't able to truly kick him out of my life, I mean I had made peace with him never returning back into my life, but now he's back. Everything was fine when he was gone, I had accustomed myself to my new normal without him in my life

For three days I've missed school. I couldn't really focus on anything and I was pretty much tired most of the time. Tomorrow though, I have every intention to go back to school, because I'd definetly lose my mind, if I stay any longer in bed.Sam had come to check on me earlier on, though he got a 10 minute permission to do so, with a female on standby, that female being Avery.I still wasn't sure about what was happening between them. I mean they gave no indication of things being more then what I witnessed, in all the times we've spent around each other.After that day, the two wouldn't be seen in the same room together, I'd say it's more on Sam, who did a repeat of what he normally does whenever Danny shows up. He leaves.I don't know what's going on with them, but I intend on finding out. But first, I need to check on what was going on with her and her ex Luke. The last time she mentioned him, she

"What?" I finally ask, turning to face Avery, who's been staring at me for some time now, after Roman left."Nothing." She looks back down to her magazine, trying to avoid eye contact."Really, you actually expect me to leave this be, after you've been staring at me for God knows how long." She sighs, sitting upright now and looking at me. She opens and closes her mouth, she looks to be struggling with what to say."What is it?" I press."It's nothing really, just that -" "What?"" I know that you're just partners, but the way you two are so comfortable around each other, one would think you two have known each other for so long ." Yeah all our lives. I shake my head off that thought."Partners, that's all there is." I mumble, not meeting her eyes." I know that but the way h

"Hello." I answer the call I'd just received, whilst I'd excused myself to the bathroom.No answer.That's strange.This is not the first time I've received a blank call, I didn't really take it that seriously. Not that I will right now.Shaking my head, I finish up with my business and then head out, preparing to eat. My steps faulter when I take notice of Sam, who's no longer alone at our table. The back of the person's head has me suspecting who the person might be, but not wanting to assume, I continue on to the table.Sam's eyes quickly find me as I draw near."Roman?" I say in surprise, despite my suspicions."Hey." He turns to face me, sitting opposite Sam."W-what are you doing here?" "He was here alone, there weren't any available tables, so..." He trails off, glancing between Roman and I."So
