He came out of the bathroom and I couldn't look him in the eyes. I felt embarrassed fro what I've done. It was so low of me, but no matter what I do there's a part of me that just can't trust him completely and I don't even know why. He has been so nice to me after we started dating for real.

"Angel? Is everything okay?" he asked in a concerned voice.

"Huh? Oh, yeah yeah everything's alright, I was just lost in my thoughts," I answered avoiding his eyes.

"What were you thinking about angel?" he asked.

"Let's just go, we're gonna be late. I'll tell you in the car."

I told him that I was a little concerned about Meggy after her kiss with Julian. He didn't really understand what I meant. He just told me that they were just having fun and it was just a one time thing. But even if it wasn't, I should let them have fun. But I just can't live that as it is, as I know very well that Julian's just gonna have fun with Meggy's feelings and then let her go, while she'll start having feelings towards him. Oh God! Feelings are so complicated. Who even gets them anyway?

We reached the university and I was about to go out of the car when he stopped me.

"Aren't you gonna kiss me before leaving?" he said pointing at his cheek.

I put a little kiss on his cheek and then left the car. I took a few steps and then turned back.

"Are we meeting today? Should we go watch a movie?" I asked really hoping that he would agree and with that answer all my doubts would be gone forever.

"Angel, sorry baby, today I'm a little busy, can't."

This doesn't mean that he's gonna meet her, does it? No no. Maybe he just has other plans.

"What are you planning to do then?"

"I have to meet the guys and today we're having a party," he said and then stopped seeing my reaction.

Well, as he was having a party or going to one, I hoped to be with him there.

"Okay," I said and then wanted to leave.

"Wait. Listen angel, I can't take you, only guys are gonna be there so..."

"No problem, I didn't even say anything," I said knowing that even if I didn't, I really wanted to say something.

"Your face did," he said showing me my kinda mad and disappointed face. Honestly, it was kinda similar to mine, but I didn't admit it. I just sticked my tongue out at him and then left. When I turned my back on him, I heard him laugh. I knew that I was still gonna meet him during the Music and Literature class.

I had a class with Meggy, but she didn't come to class and she wasn't answering my calls and texts either. I realized that something was happening for sure and I had to find it out. I attended all of my classes because of the attendance grade and in some way I wanted to leave all my personal feelings and worries away and just concentrate on my studies today. The midterms were getting closer and I felt that I was gonna have a lot to read and revise once again.

Matt has been silent these past days too and I wonder what's happening to both of them. I haven't been "active" for not that long of a time, but why does it feel like a century and that thousands of things happened during that time?

Matt texted me that he wanted to meet me today and have some friend time and I happily agreed to do that. It wouldn't still stop me from taking care of my plan, I wasn't gonna give up and be lied to as I was before.

I also got a text from Meggy full of apologies for not picking up and answering the texts. She told me she wanted to come and talk to me today. Not only in your professional life do you have to organize your time well, but also in your personal one. So, I texted Damon to know when he was going to the party, as if to make sure that he was gonna come to class and he said that he was going at 9.

I told Meggy to come at 5 and Matt at 7. That way I would do everything that I wanted to. Sadly, I will have to study when I come back after following Damon. I hope I will be able to do that and he won't ruin my mood.

As I had time before my class of Music and Literature, I took a cup of coffee from Sam's place and went to the backyard of our university. I sat on the bench drinking my coffee. I wanted to think a little bit. I saw Elijah standing there smoking alone and then looked away. He noticed me and started walking towards me. Surprisingly, he voluntarily came and sat next to me.

"Hello Bailey."

"Uhm...Hello?" I said still shocked from what happened a couple seconds ago.

And he sat down there without saying anything else. Looking far far away, as if he came here just because of the bench, but I knew that he didn't. There were so many other benches, empty ones, but he decided to sit with me.

"Uhm...Elijah? Aren't you gonna say anything to me?"

"Actually, I think that it's you who has to talk to me, who wanted to talk to me," he said in a low voice not looking at me.

"What do you mean?" I said confused by what he said.

"You looked like you needed someone to talk to. But not a person who's close to you. So, here I am."

"Okay? Look you confused me a lot with what you just said, but let me just ask you something else. Why do you even care? I mean we don't really talk to each other in general. Well, actually you don't talk that much so it makes sense."

"I don't know. Maybe because I was bored."

"How's that that you're not with the guys?"

"Look Bailey, I came here so that YOU could talk to me about something you wanted to talk about, not ME."

At some point it felt so weird to me to remember that he's friends with Damon. Of course, friend's aren't always similar to each other, but these two have literally NOTHING in common. Elijah's so serious and kinda different, while Damon's...well Damon...he's impulsive, illogical, lazy and unpredictable.

"Tell me about Damon Elijah."

"Aren't you dating him?" he asked still not looking at me.

"I am, but sometimes I feel like I don't know him that much, except for..."

"Except?" he said looking at me for the first time.

"Never mind. Just tell me about him. What kind of a friend is he? Are you close to him or maybe he's closer with other people among your group? I don't know, stuff like that."

"Well, he's a good guy," he said and then stopped.

I was waiting for him to continue, but from what I concluded he wasn't even going to.

"Is that it? I asked you so many questions, but you didn't even answer one of them. Come on Elijah."

"Fine. He's close with Julian more than with any of us, but it's not like we aren't close either. He's a good one. He's helped me a lot. He's a good person, but we argue a lot. In our group we're arguing the most because even though he's my friend he's done a lot of things that I don't agree with. And when I tell him I don't, he just gets pissed."

"Interesting...it's interesting to know these details because I wouldn't have the possibility to know about them from anyone else...he doesn't open up to me Elijah. Why do you think it is? I've opened up to him for so many times, but he didn't. The only thing he told me was that he was pissed at his dad and didn't even tell me why," I asked him really hoping he would help me with that.

"I would tell you to wait for him to do that, but that could last for years as it did with us. He wasn't opening up to us too, until he slowly started to. He's a person who doesn't want to let many people in, but I think you already have a little bit. You should just wait for now."

"I think that's what I have to do. Thank you Elijah."

"No problem," he said getting up and leaving.

He's such an interesting and mysterious person. I think I won't ever be able to predict what he's gonna do. My phone vibrated, so I took it out to see who texted me this time.

I face palmed myself asking whether my life wasn't already chaotic enough?
