"Hey Colty, I'm just here as your girlfriend, reminding you to please take care of yourself, I heard from one of your friends that you've been very busy with your studies lately. I know you're just nervous and excited about the graduation and the suddenly proposed final exams for you the graduates but don't push yourself too hard okay? I miss you and if you've got time, can we grab some dinner?"

"Hey Colty baby, I'm so excited that you finally, FINALLY agreed to the both of us having dinner, it has been so long since we ate together, and no I am NOT complaining, I'm still happy to give you some space whenever you are in your "Academics Mode" but I'm just so fricking excited to see my boyfriend after all these weeks. See you soon and I'll wear something non-revealing, I know you hate it when you do that."

"Colt, are you coming or not? If you're not coming then just text me so that I won't look like an idiot in here. I understand if you're not gonna come tonight but please don't leave me waiting and just inform me."

"Colt...I know you're really busy with your academics but please don't make promises that you can't even fulfill. I'm going home and I don't wanna talk to you right now or in a few days. Shove those books up in your ass cause that's what your prioritizing."

*No more voicemails*

"Jessie, I told you for like the tenth time and told you, even more, when he started to not value your relationships, didn't I? Dating seniors is just a heartache waiting to happen, but NOOO, you JUST HAVE to date this a-hole and now you're a crying mess and somehow ate three ice creams in under seven minutes, which is probably a secret talent that you have." Octavia scolded me in the middle of the night, but I was too crying to fully focus on her. It didn't help that the other two roommates we have are out on a date, further crushing heart knowing that the other two are probably spending some quality time with their boyfriends.

"Octavia, you know me, I'm hopelessly in love! I have devoted my entire self to this man, and what did I get? PAIN! I have been patient with him, even though I wanted his attention, his love, and his presence beside me on cold rainy days but I was still patient." I grumbled and took a bite of the ice cream cone. I heard Octavia sighing so I looked at her.

"Ah, the hopeless romantics." She said.

"What on her is that term? Is that a new trend that you and your pose coined? I questioned.

"My goodness Jessie, you don't even know what's a hopeless romantic person is?" She gasped dramatically and probably comedically to try to make me laugh.

"No-no...I was occupied with you know who. God, I can't even say his name." I sniffed. Octavia rolled her eyes and sat down on my bed.

"A hopeless romantic, which I think is what you are, are people that can't help but dream of their perfect partner and fantasize about things like meeting their soulmate or having a memorable date with someone special." Octavia explained. She took out some napkins and gave it to me. I took it and blew my nose.

"Wait, why is that a bad thing? I mean can't a girl dream big to a relationship she has at the moment?" I asked.

"That's the problem, y'all lovey doveys dream big and dream wild stuff, and when those dreams don't come true you're greeted with pain and tears. I advise you to dream small but hopeful ones, not huge dreams that are hard to achieve. You know he is busy with this sudden graduation exams, so he needs time to study. Maybe after the exams are done, both of you can celebrate or whatever." She advised. I smiled at her and was thankful that I have this wonderful woman as my friend. I wiped my tears away and hugged her tightly.

"You're the best Octavia, thank you." I replied with a joyful smile.

"I know." She said as she flips her hair and giggles afterward.

"I should probably drop by to his place and check on him." I commented and looked at Octavia if she agrees or not.

"Yeah you should, I mean if you want to, but bring your dorm keys cause am sleeping and I will NOT wake up just to open the door for you." She warned, I quickly nodded and got up out of my bed and took my keys on the bedside table.

"By the way, if I'm a hopeless romantic girl, what are you, Octavia?" I questioned Octavia who was about to close her eyes and sleep.

"Me? Well, I'm classified as a queen with high standards to men, knows that I'm priceless and will not bow to any mans." She proudly says as she closed her eyes and drifted off to sleep.

I quickly and silently ran out of the girl's dormitory and into the boy's dormitory. I was once again filled with joy and excitement to see my boyfriend. I anticipated that he might be asleep but brushed it off.

"As long as I see him okay, I'll be happy. I should probably clean his room while am at it." I thought to myself as I continued to run into his dorm.

I arrived at his place completely drenched in sweat and was gasping for air. I haven't run this much since I was a kid. I took out the keys to his dorm room, that he gave me a couple of months ago, and quickly opened the door.

"Once I'm inside, I'll shower him with kisses!" I said to myself.

"Baby, are you still awake? I'm so sorry that I-"

My eyes couldn't believe what it is seeing, the world suddenly stopped and all I can see is my boyfriend for two years and two months kissing a girl that wasn't his girlfriend. Tears slowly fall out of my eyes as reality slowly and painfully hit me in the heart. He saw me standing by the door, crying. He quickly pushed the girl away from him.

"Baby, I can explain. This is not what it looks like." He started to explain. The pain that I felt was quickly replaced by anger and hatred towards this man and his side girl. Without uttering any words, I slapped him on his left cheek and then slapped him again.

"How dare you do this to me! How dare you cheat on me! I loved you with all my heart and was patient to you!" I snapped as I continue to slap and punch him, letting out my anger and hatred towards this slimeball.

"Jess, stop it." He replied as I continue to hurt him. He grabbed both of my hands to stop me from continuously slapping and punching him. My eyes immediately landed on the woman he just kissed, who was just standing in the corner.

"You little piece of..." I grabbed the woman's hair and yanked it, she screamed in pain and decided to fight back.

"Get off of me!" She screamed and pushed me away. I stumbled and fell on the floor.

"Jess just let me explain, I know you're angry right now but let me explain, please." Colt started to help me get up but I pushed his hand away and glared back at him.

"Don't you dare touch me you monster!" I yelled at him and ran out of his room, out of the boy's dormitory. Forever crushed by this event, forever scarred from my first boyfriend's betrayal.
