Twenty-Five

"Just..Justin was....I saw Justin" Crystal murmured in disbelief as the both of them entered her dorm. None of her roommates were back yet.

"Just..Justin was standing right in front of me" Crystal said again as a tear tricked down her face.

Seeing him again made her realise how badly she had missed him. She was not able to see his eyes not did she see his face. She turned back and headed towards the door.

"Where are you going?" Laura asked as she looked at her.

But she didn't answer as she left the dorm and ran out, wanting so much to see him.

To be with him....

For him to hold her and never let her go.

She cleaned her tears as she walked hastily. All she thought was him. He was here....

He would make everything go away.

She knew and still remembered all he had done to her....the pain he had caused her....the hurt he had made her do through. She still hurt despite the fact that it had been two years since he had done that to her.

Two years since she had seen him.She had the right to be angry....yes.

But it is not so when it comes to him. She ran back to the place where the incident had happened and she didn't see him.

Where was he?

Was he still here?

Did he....did he leave?"

It hurt when she thought of the possibility of not seeing him again. She wanted him that moment.

"Crystal" Crystal turned as she saw Laura jogging towards her, stopping as soon as she reached her, breathing heavily.

"Damn you run fast. What do you eat?" Laura said, trying to catch her breath.

But Crystal turned and was about to walk away...to find him before he leaves when Laura caught her hand.

"I know where he is" Crystal turned to look at her as her eyes widened.

"I can take you to his dorm if you still want to meet him"

"He schools here?"

"Yes he does. He's studying the same course as you but he is already in his third year. You want to meet him"

"Yes please take me to him"

Laura smiled at her as she walked with her to the building which Crystal guessed it was a male hostel judging by the much males in the building. She closed her eyes when she saw some men with only boxers. It was embarrassing.

They reached a door and Laura knocked, entering the room. It was a room with four bunker beds and surprisingly spacious. The walls were painted a light shade of blue and there was a table with a pile of books on it.

There were three men in the room but Justin was nowhere to be seen.

"Hey" One of the men called as he stood up and walk towards them.

"Laura, what a nice surprise. I don't even remember the last time you came here" Although Crystal heard him, her focus was not on him.

Her focus was finding him.

"Because i didn't see any reasons to be here. Now that I have....i need to see Justin, is he around?"

"No he has not come back yet" He said, looking at Crystal with curiosity. He had never seen this face before. Crystal still has not even looked at him once, not even acknowledging his presence.

"Hey" he said, jilting Crystal from her thoughts and finding. She quickly bent her head as soon as their eyes met.

She didn't like looking into people's eyes....except Justin's. It makes her feel insecure and weird.

She turned back and walked out of the room, not even looking back or even telling Laura where she is headed.

Laura sighed as she looked back at Brandon.

"Who is she?"

"Crystal....her name is Crystal"

"Was she looking for Justin?"

"Yes"

"She is the one Justin fought for not that long with Kelvin?"

"That's the one"

"Its not what I'm thinking is it?"

"I don't have the courage to lie to you. It is what you are thinking"

Brandon's eyes widened as he took in all she had said.

Was Justin in love?
