stays
open a crack.  “How dare you come in here like this?  You have no
right!”
    “Tell
me right now.  Are you fucking him?”
    “Not
that I ever have to explain anything to you ever again, but no.  I’m not
fucking anyone.  That’s your thing, remember?”  It all makes sense
now.  This stupid asshole had her and cheated on her.  This must be
why she’s been so upset.
      “God damn it, Alyssa!  I apologized a
hundred times.  If you would have listened to my voicemails or read my
fucking texts you would know.  I was drunk.  She meant absolutely
nothing to me.  I’ve never done anything like that before and I won’t ever
do it again.”
    “You
knew I was coming that night.  You knew I was going to be walking into
your room any minute.  You wanted me to see you with her.”  The pain
in her voice breaks my heart and makes me want to punch something.
    “Baby,
just let me…”
    She
cuts him off before he can finish.  “Don’t you ‘Baby’ me you selfish son
of a bitch!”  I feel terrible that I am in here practically eavesdropping,
but I cannot leave.  If he does anything to hurt her, someone needs to be
here.
    “What
the fuck, Jeff?” Julia screams.  “You told me outside you were here to
pick her up.  You told me that you guys were working it out.  You
fucking lied to me to let you in?  Get out of here, right now.  I’m
calling Tommy.  I’ll call Public Safety if I have to.”
    “Julia,
I got this,” I hear Alyssa saying.
    “ Lyss , I’m sorry.  I had no idea,” Julia says to her,
but I hear her door slam.
    “Just
listen to me for one second, please,” Jeff begs.  “I was in the middle of
telling her how I’m proposing to you at my sister’s engagement party one minute
and the next she was coming on to me.  Damn it.  I was wasted. 
I’m so sorry.  You have to forgive me.”
    “Seriously? 
You were planning on proposing to me?”  Please don’t tell me she is
falling for this crap.  “You were planning on proposing to me and you
slept with some tramp?  Get the fuck out of here, right now!  I don’t
ever want to see you again.  Ever.”
     “You’re
just upset.  You don’t mean that.  We aren’t over, Babe.  You
are going to come home with me next weekend and we’ll go to the party. 
I’ll give you the ring and this will all go away.  Please, Lyss .  Please don’t do this.”
     “Good-bye,
Jeff,” she says.  I can hear the pain in her voice that’s been visible on
her face for the last week.  She’s suffering right now and nothing can
keep me in this room anymore.  I walk out, pushing the door against the
wall behind it.  Standing there staring at him with my arms crossed, it’s
obvious he feels defeated.  I almost feel bad for him that he lost
her.  Almost.     
     “Fine. 
I’ll go now.  But we are not over.  I’ll give you time to cool down
and we’ll talk again, okay?” 
     Alyssa
doesn’t answer him.  She just turns away and stares out of the
window.  He turns and walks out of the door.  Within seconds, Julia
is out of her room holding her. “ Lyss , I am so
sorry.”
     “It’s
not your fault that he is a lying bastard.”  She chokes back tears.
     “Oh
my God!  Leah is going to kill me when she hears that I let him in
here.”  It’s nice to know someone’s got her back.  “I called
Tommy.  He’s on his way.”
     “I’m
here,” I say.  “I wasn’t going to let him do anything to her.”  Just
then someone bangs on the door causing Alyssa to jump.  Julia runs over to
open it.
     “He’s
gone.  He left a few seconds ago.  I didn’t realize Rocco was here.”
     “You
okay, Lyss ?”  He nods at me quickly and looks
back to her, waiting for her to answer.  She only tilts her head to
acknowledge him.  “Rocco, you want to come with me?  I just want to
make sure he left the building.”     
     “I
just saw him go down the steps outside the window.  He was heading
