window-shopping for another hour or so before heading back to his apartment.
     
    His entire mood had shifted. He was anxious to go out and get drunk. When he mentioned other girls, I felt a pang of jealousy but I did not let on.
     
    The club was packed, as usual, and I took up my regular spot near the bar. After a few shots, everyone was in a great mood, even Collin. He seemed to have completely forgotten about last night and I was hoping that it meant we could go back to being the great friends we were with no weirdness. I did not factor in how my feelings for him had changed. I had always found him physically attractive but I never wanted anything more than friendship from him. I saw how he treated other girls and I did not want to be another number on a list.
     
    Collin’s eyes met mine from across the room as he danced with a red head. I turned around to face the bar, unable to watch. Everyone was laughing and having a good time and I stood alone, amongst a sea of strangers. I grabbed a shot and turned back, scanning the dance floor for Collin. I caught sight of him as he left out of the front door, his arm wrapped around the red head. He was obviously over last night.
     
    The night dragged on and one by one, my friends left with their conquests. By four in the morning, I was barely able to stand on my own. I called a cab and had them take me back to my dorm room. I wanted to be alone. I could not stomach the thought of crawling into bed next to him after watching him with that other woman. Somehow, in the span of a day, I went from being his best friend to dying inside because we were not more.
     
    I slept into the early evening. It was awkward waking up in my own bed and it took me a few minutes to place where I was. I grabbed my phone as I stretched, looking at my missed calls. Taylor had called me at least twenty times along with an equal amount of texts messages. I scrolled through them, worried something may have happened.
     
    Where the hell are you?
     
    Did you go home with someone? You slut!
     
    Answer the phone!!!
     
    Collin is going nuts. He is worried sick about you. Please answer.
     
    “Shit” I mumbled as I wiped my eyes. I dialed Taylor’s number. After a few rings, she picked up.
     
    “Where the fuck are you?” She whispered into the receiver and I knew she was trying not to let Collin know I was on the phone. I heard a loud banging sound and then Collin’s voice.
     
    “Is that her? Where the fuck is she?” He was seething with anger and I could not understand why.
     
    “Uhh…Sin? Collin is really worried.” Taylor was nervous.
     
    “I just went back to the room. I was tired.” I knew it was more than that. I needed to distance myself from him. Watching him leave the club last night with his arm around someone else had really gotten to me. What did she have that I didn’t? Why did I care? I had already made up my mind that he was not the right kind of person for me. If things had gone further it would have destroyed what we already have together.
     
    “Are you coming over?” She asked and I knew she wanted me to calm Collin down, but I could not.
     
    “I really should study. I haven’t been keeping up with my work lately.” I bit my lip and waited for her to say something.
     
    “Okay” she sighed and hung up the phone. I grabbed my shower kit and headed down to the bathroom. I needed to think over the whole situation. I knew that if I spent another night lying next to Collin, things would get out of hand and I would lose him forever, because I could not have anything more with him. He was not the type to settle down and I was not looking for a relationship with someone who was incapable of giving me what I needed.
     

     

     

     

     

     

     

Chapter Seven
     
    Weeks passed and I had become so good at making excuses to why I could not go out that my friends barely ever called anymore. Collin would text me when he was drunk letting me know how good of a time he was
