The Styles Triplets Part 2: The Triplets go to College

Chapter Fifty-Two

Olivia's POV

"How did everything go with the visit?" Harry asks me. We came to grab lunch after everyone left back to their own business.

"It went well, I mean Edwards out of jail." I smile for show. I can't take the image of Tia's pale face out of my head when she left the room. And everything she told me on the car ride back is too much for me to even say out loud. 

Tia told me not to tell anyone about what really happened in that hospital room. I know if I were to tell anyone, I'd be the next one admitted into the ER, and Tia would be the next in jail.

I told her that she couldn't go through with the date tonight. Instead of going back to his dorm to relax and fully recover from the beating Edward gave him, he wants to take Tia on a date. I don't think he learned his lesson. I'm not supposed to say a word, but Harry knows when I'm lying. He can tell when I'm not being honest, but I have to put my acting skills to the test. I can't let Tia down, and I hate lying to him but, I can't say a word.

"Yeah, I guess your right," he chuckles and dips his chip in ketchup, "Did Tia go see him?"

"I think so? I'm not sure, I haven't heard anything from her since this morning, and she wasn't in the dorm." I say, hoping he doesn't see how nervous I am. I am such a terrible liar but I blame my mother for that.

"Oh, she's probably sitting outside Ed's dorm waiting for him to come out," he chuckles before taking a bite into his sandwich.

 I laugh nervously and check my phone for the time, "It's almost two o'clock, I have to go to my yoga class." I get up from my seat and kiss Harry good-bye.

"Can I come watch?" He smiles as I gather my stuff to leave.

"No!" I put my book bag on, "why don't you go check on your brother, just in case he and Tia haven't killed each other yet."

"I love you," he says as I make my way out of the cafeteria.

"I love you!" I yell back and prance out the door.

Marcel's POV

"I'm sorry that your visit wasn't as great as I wanted it to be," I hold Veronica's hands in mine as we sit at the fountain eating nachos.

"It's okay," she wipes her mouth, "I just wanted to see you, and I'm just glad everyone is okay."

"We always luck out on that. It won't be long until mum & dad find out," I sigh, "You really believe they won't." I laugh at the thought. Harry is unbelievable thinking this is something that won't get through to our parents.

"I can't say they won't but I mean they are busy people," Veronica rubs my arm, "just don't stress too much about it. I'm sure Tia convinced her friend to not press any charges."

I hope not.

Edward's POV

"Are you happy now?" I grab my shirt from the floor and stare at Tia's naked body on my bed.

"Very." She smiles and drapes my sheets over her.

"It's been a fucked up weekend, but let me make it up to you. We can grab dinner tonight? Or even stay in and watch that dumb show you're always talking about," I say.

"Tonight? Umm that's not a good idea, I have an exam in two days, I have to study." She searches for her clothes.

I stare at her as she does so. She never passes an opportunity, no matter what's on her schedule, "So you just came here to fuck me and now I can't take you out?"

"Ed please," her shirt is on and she's frantically looking for her pants, "this isn't high school anymore."

"Like it makes a difference? You never gave a shit, and now you do? I'm trying to be a good fucking boyfriend and you're bailing on me? After all the shit you put me through last night? Are you fucking kidding me?" I get up from the bed and push my hair back in distress.

"I love you, but one night I can't stay to have dinner with you, and you go all insane on me?! And I know what I did! But I made sure your ass didn't get more time in jail for your overprotective decisions towards me!" She gets dressed, and starts grabbing her belongings.

"I shouldn't have forgiven you," I grab her arm, "I shouldn't have fucked you, and I SHOULD have murdered that mother fucker."

"Get your hands off of me," She yanks her arm from my hold and leaves my dorm.

Shit.

Tia's POV

I walk as fast as I can out of Ed's hall. Once the fresh air hits my face, I can feel the cold tears falling from my face. One thing, and our whole relationship goes to shit. I check my pockets for my phone to see if Andy has messaged me about tonight, but I don't feel it. 

I must have left it in Ed's room. If Andy messaged me and he sees it, Andy is going to end up six feet under the ground. I turn around and run back up the stairs to his floor.

I push all the college guys roaming the halls in my way as they cat call. Not a good idea guys, not a good idea.

I reach Ed's room and I bang on the door.

"Who is it?" I hear him say.

"It's me," I sigh, and frantically tap my feet waiting for him to answer the door.

"Go away," I hear him say.

"Edward open the door," I knock again, "I forgot something."

"What is it? I'll find it for you," he says. Dammit.

"Open the fuck-" before I finish he opens the door. I push passed him and check the bed.

"Can you hurry the fuck up so you can leave," He says.

I check his bed and I can't find it, so I look under the bed. Stuffed with clothes and garbage, typical. I'm never going to find it.

"Where's my phone?" I get up from the floor to face him.

"The fuck should I know?" He grabs a beer from his mini fridge, "what do you need it for? You don't have a boyfriend anymore to text." His words break my heart.

"Are we breaking up?" I forget about my phone, and focus on the bullshit coming out of his mouth.

"I don't know," He reaches in his pocket, "you want to tell me? Or do I have to go ask Andy?"

My heart races as he pulls my phone out of his pocket. Messages from Andy, back to back, lighting my phone up. He tosses my phone and heads for the door.

"Edward STOP!!"
