Summary: Stacey feels like a fool.
012: Self-Love
Stacey sobbed. Slammed the door to her dorm room and slid down it. Her roommate rushed over to her.
"What happened?" he demanded.
She shook her head. "Stupid. I’m so stupid."
"Stacey?"
"I should have known! I should have," she wailed. "I should have seen. He’s so handsome and I’m so, so…. Me!"
Collin wrapped his arms around her. "What happened? Who do I have to kill?"
Stacey cried on him a moment before responding.
"He… I… He was seeing me behind his girlfriend’s back."
Collin nodded. Couldn’t think of a response.
"I’m so-so stupid! Such an idiot…"
Her heart broke quietly and painfully. Collin held her. Tried to understand.
"I must be blind to have missed that. He had pictures of her and everything, and she called…" Stacey sniffed. Wiped her nose on the back of her hand. "I’m a fool. I wish I was dead."
He was about to tell her off when a familiar knock rang through the room. Collin pulled her away from the door and opened it a crack.
"Yorkes," he said coolly.
"Er… Whoever you are. Where’s Zimmer?"
Collin felt the distinct urge to shove him on his ass. "She’s busy. Can I take a message?" he asked, far too pleasant.
Dale sighed. "Just let me through."
Collin thought better of it, but let him in anyway. Maybe he would make her stop crying. Maybe.
