Chapter 3

<Kaitlin's P.O.V>

"WAKE UP SLUTS!!" I heard someone yell. I slowly opened my eyes, the sun blaring in my eyes. I suddenly noticed I was laying on something, or someone. I looked up to see Destery smiling down at me. I guess at some point in the night I cuddled up to him. And he did the same. His arm was wrapped around me pulling me closer. 

"Hiya!" Destery exclaimed. I pushed myself up and looked around. Nathan was standing at the side of the bed grinning like an idiot. Then I realized what it looked like. I scrambled to my feet, 

"No! It's definitely not what it looks like!" I gushed. 

"Oh really, because it looks to me like Destery got a little close with our new roommate last night." Nathan joked raising his eyebrow. " Well, you see, I didn't have a bed, and I thought maybe I could crash with Destery. that's all..." I tried to explain. Nathan busted into fits of laughter and so did Destery. Both gripping their sides. " I was just messing with you! I know you wouldn't sleep with Destery... not with me right down the hall anyway." Nathan continued to laugh as he walked out of the room. I looked at Destery who was doing some weird wiggle with his eyebrows which made me giggle. 

"So, am I crazy or was that the best nights sleep ever?" Destery asked. I had to admit. It was. "Yeah actually!" I admitted. "I'm gonna be so lonely when your bed gets here. which is when exactly?" I didn't know if he was serious. But it made me smile thinking he wasn't repulsed by me like I thought. "Um, I think part of it should be here today." I answered. Our conversation was cut short by the announcement of breakfast. We made our way to the kitchen and saw that Nathan had cooked a huge breakfast. "Wow Nate! I'm impressed. what's the occasion?" Destery asked. "Well. I figured our new roommate deserved a nice meal. And after your "escapade" last night I thought you might be hungry!" Nathan laughed.

 I was never going to live it down. But I didn't mind. it was fun to have little inside jokes. Whether at my expense or not. I learned to laugh at myself. During breakfast there was a knock at the door. I hopped up and answered it. A UPS guy was standing with a huge box in his hand. " I'm looking for 'Kaitlin Riece'" he spoke. "That's me" I answered. I grabbed the box and put it inside signing my name and thanking him. I closed the door and shoved the box into the living room where the guys helped me unpack it. It was just some stuff I didn't have room for in the car. More posters. A jewelry box. And some stuffed animals. The guys went into the kitchen with the breakfast dishes as I looked through the rest of my stuff. When I got to the bottom I saw what I had been waiting for, my knife collection, I know it's weird but that was my hobby. I hit up flea markets and found cool knives. Even had a thigh holster for them. As I pulled them out the guys came back in, " Holy shit!, bad-ass!!" Destery exclaimed. Sitting beside me looking at the rest of them. "Where did you get these?" He questioned. "Well, I just hit up flea markets and ta-da!" I explained, gesturing towards the knives.

"You're not gonna like, knife us in our sleep are you?" Nathan asked. "No! Why would I do that! You guys are like my best friends!" I told him. "Aww, I'm gonna cry! We're your best friends?" Nathan asked, making his bottom lip quiver falsely. Which made me giggle. Now that I think about it, they really were, I had never really told anyone about the sexual assault. And when I told them it came so natural. Like it wouldn't matter if they knew, because they would still be there.

My bed never arrived, the rest of my stuff did. But a few weeks later we got a letter saying they lost it in shipping. How do you lose a bed?! It wasn't all bad though, Destery let me crash with him till I got a new one. Which to my surprise, came from the generosity of my new roommates. Although I would miss sharing a bed with Destery, he was like his own heater.

One morning I awoke to find the other side of the bed empty. I sat up, an looked around. Then I heard grunting noises, and a loud thud! I jumped out of bed and checked all the rooms, when I got to my room I opened the door to find Destery and Nate standing by a bed grinning ear to ear.
