All Chapters of It's Always Been You: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

was sitting in my long-term boyfriend's dorm room, busying myself by reading a book while I waited for him to finish class.The door went flying open, nearing making me jump out of my skin. A shirtless male ran into the room, slamming the door loudly behind him. He looked out of breath, leaning his back against the door to inhale deeply. From the way he ran a hand through his hair, he looked rather distressed.I quirked an eyebrow, intrigued as I sat up straighter. This wasn't something you witness everyday. He still hadn't noticed me sitting here.He was shaking his head softly when he looked up and his eyes locked with mine."Jesus! Wh—" the boy's bright blue eyes bulged out of his head. Shock and confusion flashed across his features, not expecting to find someone in his room. "Am I in the right room?"I shrugged nonchalantly, amused. "You might've barged into the wrong room while running for your life." The calmness in my voice only caused him to look more panicked.He opened his

Hi." I smiled as I opened my room door and greeted Nate. He was picking me up from my dorm so we could head to a frat party together.Nate offered me a small smile. He leaned down to kiss my cheek. It was quick. "Hi." He looked me once over but didn't make any comment. "Ready to go?"I sighed slowly but nodded as I followed him out of my room. My shoulders felt weighed down. I wasn't someone who ever asked for much. It had just been a while since Nate and I really saw each other. I may have put in extra effort to do my hair and makeup, throw on an outfit I would consider fairly cute.I was excited to see him, thinking we would have a good time at this party. Being in a good mood made me want to look good. How much was it to expect a compliment from your boyfriend when you put in more effort than normal to look cute? Clearly, it's expecting too much from Nate.It didn't really bother me. It was just a little disappointing. The car ride was short and mostly silent. Nate tapped his fin

felt a great sense of comfort and calmness knowing that Michelle and Chris would be back today. After last night, having danced in the rain with Wes and sharing that moment, I needed to be away from him.It was the perfect and most magical moment all to be ruined because he didn't kiss me.Maybe I was selfish and petty to think that, but I couldn't help but be hurt. All my hope that maybe Wes does hold some feelings for me was stripped away when he didn't make any sort of move."I showed all the signs," I grumbled, shaking my head. "All the flirtation, getting flustered, being a little more touchy, making comments and teasing. I did everything to indicate that I have feelings for him."Michelle tilted her head as she looked at me, trying to understand every detail. "Maybe he didn't see the signs?"I gave Michelle a flat look. "This is Wes we're talking about. He's an expert in reading women and dating women."Michelle shrugged, giving me a sheepish look. "I'm sure he just didn't see t

Come on, Nate," I sighed, speaking to him on the phone. "You've rain-checked three times already.""I know," Nate grumbled through the phone. "I've just been busy, Fia. I have to prioritize school work and sports, you know.""I know," I mumbled, feeling guilty now. I wasn't trying to be a clingy girlfriend who needed constant attention but again, it was like Nate couldn't find five minutes to spare for me. "I just want to see you. I don't even remember the last time we hung out."Nate sighed dramatically. "How about I meet you at the party tonight? Are you going to be there?"I let out an exasperated breath as I felt a headache coming along. I felt too exhausted to go to a party tonight."Well, you and I were supposed to have some down time together but sure, I can meet you there.""Great. I'll see you then, Fia.""B-" I was cut off by the line going dead, Nate not even giving me a second to say goodbye properly.I groaned, throwing my phone across the room and grabbing a pillow to sc
