CHAPTER SEVEN

TEDDY SAT ON the floor outside Diana’s dorm room. With his back against the wall, he was trying hard not to fall asleep. It was already two in the morning, and he’d been waiting for her for four hours. Maybe he should have tried to find her. Maybe just sitting here hadn’t been his smartest idea, but when he’d taken a more proactive approach a week ago and hunted her down at some frat party, she’d totally freaked out on him. Of course, it might have had something to do with the fact that she’d been blind drunk at the time and he’d tried to drag her home, against her will. Even so, maybe he should go track her down again.

He groaned. He’d give her another half an hour, then he’d go look for her. He’d sling her over his shoulder and bring her back to her room if he had to.

Diana was spiraling out of control, and he was worried about her. She’d started ditching class, her grades were slipping, and her professors were just as worried as he was. He knew that the only reason they hadn’t come down harder on her was because of the death of her mother.

He grimaced and slammed his head against the wall behind him. He would not allow himself to shed any tears. Not here at any rate. He’d do it in the privacy of his own room, as he always did. Lydia had been a wonderful woman. She’d accepted him for who he was and had welcomed him, something his own mother hadn’t been willing to do once she’d discovered he was gay.

Teddy hadn’t been comfortable with the idea of revealing the truth about his sexuality to Diana’s parents – mostly because of the reaction of his own family – but as it was, he needn’t have worried. There were a few awkward moments, but ultimately he’d been welcomed into the bosom of her family. He grinned at the memory of the first time Diana had brought him home.

“Di, please don’t tell your parents I’m gay,” he’d begged. “I don’t want them… I don’t want them to look at me with the same disgust and disappointment my own folks do.”

Diana had rolled her eyes. “Teddy, my parents aren’t like that. And, anyway, I think you’ll really want to tell my dad.”

“Why?” he asked suspiciously.

“Well, if he doesn’t know you’re not into girls, he’ll assume you’re either my boyfriend or are simply pretending to be my friend to get into my pants. That means you will get ‘the talk’.”

“The talk?”

“Yeah, the one where he describes in gruesome detail what he’ll do to you if you hurt me and then promises they’ll never find your body. I think that’s the long and short of it. I’ve never actually heard him deliver the speech, but a few of my potential boyfriends did provide a few details as they were running out the door at full speed,” she said with a wink.

“It’s alright,” Teddy replied.
