Hastily slamming the door to her room, she burst out crying while rushing towards her pillow. Diane had been bottling her feelings up all throughout the movie marathon with Sarah, she recalled seeing Kai from her peripheral vision and just mindlessly following him from a distance forgetting all about Sarah for a minute.
When she remembered the human waiting for her for almost two minutes now, she contemplated going back or to keep following the person she still had a hard time believing was there, RIGHT IN FRONT OF HER!!! Or was right there. Shit, she got lost in thought for a spilt second and he disappeared. Was he really there or just a figment of her imagination.
Throwing the rest of her jumbled thoughts out the window, she decided to go with the latter, with all hope in her heart that he came to look for her and here she was.
Going through so many turns, she looked for him, hoping to just catch even a glimpse of his shadow and probably God was listening to her heart because she caught sight of him again but not alone. He was with a certain red head and she was shamelessly flirting with him to the dread of Diane, oh how she felt like ripping someone's head off. But, she didn't let her hope die down.
She noticed Naomi had stopped following him, well not completely but she kept a reasonable distance from him, she didn't know why but that made her stupidly happy.... And for a second she almost lost him again, "stupid girl" she chastised herself.
Diane kept following him until he entered a door and that's when she realized she had been here too some time ago, it was the chancellor's office. She wondered what he was doing there but that thought got cut off as her phone started ringing almost giving her away. She moved some distance away to answer it and by the time she came back Naomi was nowhere in sight and he was walking away.
Deciding to sneak up on him with a hug from behind she moved hastily towards him grinning from ear to ear but what she heard next was more than a punch to the guts.....
"Fuck off".
He didn't even bother looking back at her and just walked away like she was a disease of some sort and she could clearly feel the irritation he had towards her. Putting on a smile on her face after clearing a few drops of tears that made their way out of her eyes, she walked dejectedly towards a very pissed off Sarah.
........
KNOCK KNOCK!!
A soft but unsure knock resounded on her door and Diane hurriedly tried to wipe the tears away from her eyes and face but they wouldn't seem to stop instead they became heavier causing her to become more frustrated and overwhelmed which made her wail even louder with feelings of pains in her chest.
BANG! BANG!! BANG!!!!
"Are you okay Ann? Open the door please... it's me Dom. I just want to know if you're alright" He was worried and she knew it. It wasn't like her or anything like that so why was he acting worried she thought in between wails.
"Just leave me alone please, I'm fine"
"what! Nooo, you don't sound fine at all, you're crying"
"please just let me in or I swear to God I'm going to call the others and you won't have a door anymore" He pleaded.
"I swear to God Dominic, fucking leave me be... I don't c-cc-care where you go or what you do, just leave me the hell alone p-please.."
"fine.. don't say I didn't warn you tho."
She got up from her wailing position as her legs and arms felt numb now. She picked up a huge hoodie and a sweat pant and just put them on, threw her hair in a messy bun, picked up her phone and headset, proceeded to head for the door and in all these she had sighed, sniffed and stared into space more times than one could count.
Opening the door, she came face to face with her roomies all with worried looks on their faces about to knock on her door before she opened it but she didn't move an inch and just stared into space.
Dom awkwardly whispered to the rest of his crew "Guys what do you think is wrong with her? I told you she had been crying... you can definitely see it in her eyes but I think something even worse has happened"
They had all turned to look at him by now worry evident on their faces as she was standing there "She has gone psycho"
SLAP!
Jake had landed a resounding slap to the back of his head causing the others to snicker and even Adonis let out a smirk.
Unknown to them that sound had jolted Diane's mind to consciousness causing her to let out a wordless sigh and just go through them. She mindlessly made her way to the kitchen, took out a bowl and scooped four spoonful of vanilla flavored ice cream. Taking out a stool by the kitchen counter she sat down and started eating her heart out as she listened and sang along to 'HAPPY' by Pharrell Williams all the while crying.
The guys by now just stared incredulously at her like she had grown a second head literally. To say they were confused would be an understatement to what they really felt like. While trying to get over the crazy woman they were seeing she suddenly startled them again by jumping in front of them with a really angry look that gave them all chills in their spines and then she burst out laughing.
"you should see the look on your faces... hahaha" wiping a tear from her eye she started walking towards the door.
"where are you going Ann?" it was Micah this time who looked like he had enough.
"On a jog"
"what?" they all screamed in unison.
"it's like the middle of the night" Adonis reasoned. But she already stepped out and banged the door leaving them all quite speechless.
Hudson immediately turned towards Dom with a huge scowl on his face "I can't believe you woke us up in the middle of the night for this nonsense drama" he was done playing nice and worried like hell he would care if she was dying. "I didn't sign up for this bullshit. Count me out." He headed towards his room all the while muttering how she was the queen of drama.
They all wondered how Hudson came to be with that mindset but thought nothing of it, maybe he was still feeling sleepy was what they came up with and proceeded to head out the door following a certain someone as she jogged on the campus grounds.
"I think we should just grab her and head back or else we'll all freeze to death" Ezekiel complained pointing to their choice of clothing in the very cold weather. They were mostly putting on sweat pants with a tank top or a short sleeved shirt.
"and besides it's the middle of the night! Haven't you guys heard of the creatures of the night? and if you haven't noticed we lack the Avengers in the part of the world. Oh we're so dead m-" The glare he received from everyone was enough to shut him up and his crazy thoughts.
Diane had stopped walking deciding to turn back when she saw silhouettes of guys standing at a distance glaring at another person irritably. She knew who they were hence, she started making her way towards them.
"why did you guys follow me?!"
"We only want your safety Diane"
She smiles, bends down, cross her arms over her knees and starts crying saying it hurts a lot.
They knew they couldn't do anything but comfort her and that's what they did. But they all couldn't help but wonder what hurt her or who hurt her to this extent.
........
Meanwhile a certain someone could be seen smiling from ear to ear staring at the picture of a young woman who had leaned in to peck him on the cheek but instead got his nose tip when he turned, a picture he had framed and kept by his bedside for his eyes only, a picture that spoke volumes of what they felt for one another, something he wasn't going to let go off any time soon.
And with that thought in mind he drifted off to sleep wondering what her reaction would be to see him.
