it was late out. really late actually! the time where most people would be in bed, dreaming about anything. drugs, school, guys, sex, who's life they were going to ruin tomorrow. so why was it that beckah taylor was sprinting down the halls at such a late time? well that was simple, halley had given her a text. one that she could not ignore at all! it was something about needing to tell her something, and beckah, being beckah, could never miss a good story. of course if halley told her not to tell she wouldn't and she probably wouldn't even if halley forgot to mention it, but beckah was always open for some gossip. and she was a good listener sometimes!

as she ran down the halls, beckah didn't pay attention to the noise she was making. she didn't give a crap about the other girls that were waking up, confused and tired. hell, even if some of them were her friends! they would learn to forgive her. it was just the way things worked!

she was close now. almost to the dorm and beckah was beginning to get excited. it had to be something good that halley wanted to say, if it wasn't anything important she would have waited for the next morning. but wait! what if it was something bad. something that halley had to discuss now because she had to let it out. what if.. beckah's face melting smile turned into a frown. not the 'i-hate-you-so-much-get-away' frown, but a puzzled, sad frown. when her friends were sad, so was she.

she was there now. standing outside the door. her hand was in the air, ready to knock. but she hesitated. she needed some time to think. think of what exactly? advise. any kind of advise. advise for friend troubles, boy problems, or homework problems. it took her a few minutes before she lightly knocked on the door. um, it's beckah she somewhat whispered yelled, hoping she didn't wake halley's roommate. with luck though, she hoped she wasn't there!

as she waited for halley to open the door beckah looked down at her outfit. she didn't look to good really. she had on gray sweat pants and a light pink shirt that revealed only an inch of her belly. tied around her waist was a white sweatshirt, in case she got cold. her feet bore nothing except socks. white and plain! what a way to greet a friend, right?

beckah had just finished looking at her outfit when someone grabbed her arm. the first thing that came to her mind was 'halley'. the second was that a total freak was forcing her into the dorm and was going to torture her. she resisted for a minute, thinking only about option two, but halley was stronger and she got dragged in. beckah almost screamed, but stopped herseld just as she parted her mouth. she recognized this dorm and the girl standing in front of her. thank god! she thought breathing out slowly.

"jesus halley. you scared the cr-" she was about to finish her sentence but halley started talking. it was much to quick and beckah had a hard time understanding her, but she did manage to put it together. her eyes widened a bit and she drew in a sharp breathe. "the bastard!" she mumbled softly, digging her nails into her flesh. "the friggin bastard" normally she would have cursed off the guy but tonight it just didn't seem right. she would deal with him later, but she doubted cursing about him would held halley. if she had heard correctly she understood about chris and the i love you, but that could wait, just for a moment. "first of hales, take a deep breathe. relax! the way you are pacing around is freaking me out. secondly, the guy was a dick. you need to forget about him." she paused, watching halley for a moment, before taking about breathe and continuing, "and you deserve so much more then him. chris though, i like that kid. he's a nice boy, perfect for you. so congrats! and i'm proud that you had the guts to say that!" beckah smiled warmly and walked over to halley. she smiled lightly and placed her hand on her shoulder. "it's going to be alright. trust me!" beckah said, pulling her into a hug. once she released she say halley plop onto the floor, beckah followed and took halley's hands in hers. "hey, you're going to be fine. you have a new guy that haves loved you forever and us. you have us!" by us beckah meant friends, and she was hoping that halley would catch on.

she took off her sweatshirt and put it gently on halley's lap, offering it up as a towl to wipe her tears. it pained her to see halley like this. pained her!
