The door was unlocked, as I expected, and I felt slightly relieved. I braced myself before walking inside though, half expecting to see a sight as bad as the one I just came from, but Charlie’s place seemed to be exactly as he had left it. Empty bottles from a local brewery were in the sink, shirts half-strung over the table with sketchbooks and pencils alike, with the bed as unmade as we had left it. A typical bachelor’s mess, but nothing more.

Chapter 11

Class the next morning was a fog of words and facts. Professors lectured on the importance of studying for finals, but many of the students were already in the early throes of summer, preoccupied with how much leg their shorts were showing off or what they were doing when the weekend came. I wrote things down, but they were blurred just like the rest of me. I had also tried to call the phone number from the whiteboard, but again, no answer. Searching for its owner on the internet had also proved to be fruitless.

I had spent a sleepless night worrying, tossing in my blankets and reliving the destruction. If Charlie had been that reckless, I didn’t want to imagine what he might have done if he knew Adam was still on-campus. Or did he know Adam was still around? Oh God, could he really have thought that I would betray him like that?

I suddenly couldn’t think, couldn’t remember if I had ever mentioned whether or not Adam and I e-mail regularly. What would Charlie think when he saw our correspondence? Would he know they were innocent, or would he, like always, assume the worst? I knew he was all ready jealous, but not telling him about e-mailing Adam might suggest untrustworthiness anyway, and if Charlie had been looking through my things for indicators of my imaginary infidelity then it probably would take much.

I thought I had made it clear I only cared about Adam as a friend. Still, all my convincing wouldn’t do any good if Charlie thought I lied to him and Adam was still in town for me…No, I decided. No, that didn’t make any sense. Charlie was the only one for me and he knew that. Besides, I didn’t even know Adam was still in town, how would Charlie?

The images popped up on the TVs in the library. One by one, they came on each of the flat screens, gradually taking over as each station interrupted their broadcast with the bulletin. The only TV that didn’t seem to give in was the sports channel, though that never caught my attention to begin with.

I saw it out of the corner of my eye, at first seeing, but not really seeing classmates who were nudging each other, then pointing in my direction. My mind was with Charlie in every possible capacity, wondering, hoping, and worrying. I was actually so enamored that I scarcely acknowledged people gathering around the larger television behind the librarian’s desk, the sets of eyes on me, one pair after the other, and the flash from camera phones.
