During the two weeks leading up to Lata's final's week, she did not let Warren come over to her dorm, and she'd rarely return back his calls. Lata had told him that for the two weeks leading up to her last week she'd be busy - he just never thought her busy meant not having time for him.
"Hey," Warren smiles brightly at Lata who stood with her hair in a messy bun with a pen sticking out from the side and an oversized Led Zeppelin concert shirt. The shirt belonged to an ex boyfriend, a detail Warren didn't know but knowing Lata had many concert merch shirts he wasn't fazed by the worn out shirt
"What are you doing here?" Lata groans her cold eyes hiding the amount of stress just his presence was causing her because if he was there with her he'd be distracting her meaning she wouldn't be doing everything that needed to be done
"Just wanted to make sure you were still alive," Warren jokes but Lata didn't even bare a pitty smile
"Warren... I-I'm really busy. Can we just not?" Lata questions letting her shoulders sink out of being so tired the only emotion showing in her voice was annoyance "I need to get back to studying"
"Maybe I can help." Warren offers happily wanting to spend time with Lata in whatever shape or form that would be
Lata couldn't help but roll her eyes, "You know the origin and fate of pollutants in freshwater and marine environments? Are you familiar with ecology, physiology, biogeochemistry, and the diversity of marine microbes? Cause those subjects are for just two of my classes that I need to ace. I'm not trying to be a bitch but honestly Warren right now i-i need to be alone"
"Baby, when's the last time you had a break?" Warren worriedly looks down at his girlfriend
"I don't have time for breaks!" Lata shouts walking into her room that had the blinds closed and the only lights were the room's fluorescent lights "In between studying and finishing two papers. I have to find a place to stay in this summer because for once I'm not taking classes this summer so I cant live on campus!"
"Lata, hey, baby, come here"
"No, I need to-" Lata tries to distance herself but Warren he pulls her into a tight hug
Warren was always so warm and comfortable that now just made Lata break down. She hadn't been hugged in such a warm tight way in a long time that just the feeling of Warren's chest rising with every breath made her tears have a purpose. Lata felt loved and cared for which made her feel shitty for trying to push Warren away
The hug made Lata know she was pushing herself, she did that every semester, especially at the end. Now this time it mattered more than anything because it was the end that would lead to her getting her diploma. One of the goals she'd been trying to reach for so long and she couldn't let it slip from her fingers.
