Steve returned to the dorm room only to see that Ken was not present. With a bitter smile, he took off his shoes and laid down on his bed, staring at the ceiling.
"I messed up…" He muttered in a helpless tone.
He hadn't seen Ken like this before which honestly scared him a little. While they had been friends for over 2 years, the guy had become irreplaceable in his life.
But his heart ached. Tara was someone that he truly enjoyed being around, though things had become strained as of late. She had stopped laughing at his jokes, even making excuses to cut their meetings short.
Steve wasn't dumb. It was clear that she was trying to create some distance between the two, in order to be professional.
"If I knew that, I wouldn't have let myself fall in the first place." Steve reached out his hand, clasping at air, a bitter taste in his mouth.
Knock Knock
After some time, a knock sounded at the door.
