When he arrived at his dorm, he opened the door but Noah didn’t enter. He didn’t even acknowledge Leo and the hype girl, but he turned his attention to Noah and sighed.
“Do you wanna come in? We have about an hour before the party starts,” Darwyn stated as he held the door open.
“Darwyn, I-I-I need to talk to you about something important, but not now, after the party,” Noah replied as he ran a finger along Darwyn’s jawbone. He kissed Noah on the forehead and left to get ready for the party.
Darwyn turned around after receiving the kiss and walked pass Leo and the hype girl with just a wave. Once in his room, he flung himself onto the bed and cried. He cried for about ten minutes. It wasn’t overly dramatic or anything like that, but he just laid there and cried. He was crying because he was frustrated. He was crying because he didn’t want his wild partying to create a wedge in the relationship he shared with Lynn. He also wanted to make sure that his flirtatiousness wouldn’t drive Noah away. He loved Noah so much, and he was certain that he’d end up driving him away if he kept on doing what he did. As the last tear fell down his face, he simply laid there and placed a towel over his face.
“What is wrong with me?” He said softly as he continued to lie there, “Why am I so distraught over this?”
At that moment, his phone began to play a ringtone. He looked at it and it was a text message from Noah. It read,
“Remember to save me a dance tonight. Afterwards meet me behind the gym.”
Darwyn managed a smile before plugging his phone up to the charger and rushing into the bathroom to get ready. Forty five minutes remained before the party kicked off.
