Excerpt: 

I ignored his begging, plugged in my earbuds, and blasted my music mix as loud as I could. I was rubbing my tired eyes as I looked back at the time, it was past midnight and I could barely keep my eyes open. When Alicia Keys started blaring in my ear, I groaned as I pulled the earbuds out, and tossed them on the desk. I loved Alicia Keys—I really did—but every song made me think of him. 

After I finished printing the paper, I got up to stretch and get water. I unlocked my door and idly wondered if Cole and Aubry were still here. When I opened my door, I found Cole sprawled across the floor directly in front of my room. I stepped over his body and tilted my head to look at him. He was sleeping. He fell asleep outside of my room. What the hell? I tiptoed to Aubry’s room and opened the door slowly.

“Aubry?” I whispered.

“Yeah?” he said.

He was sitting by his desk on the other side of the room, so I walked over to him.

“Cole is sleeping on the floor by my door,” I said crossing my arms over my chest.

“Yeah, I know. He told me he was tired, so I told him to take the couch, but he told me he was sleeping with you.” I rolled my eyes, and he continued. “I told him there was no way in hell you were going to share a bed with him. He said he couldn’t sleep under the same roof as you on separate beds. I reminded him that he did it all the time during Christmas, and he said it was hell for him.”

I felt an uncomfortable pain in my chest. “What do I do? I can’t just leave him there.”

Aubry shrugged. “I don’t know. If you wake him up, he’s going to your bed though.”

I exhaled. “Damn it.”
