Chapter 7

My car slowly stopped at the university entrance,looking around to make sure it is the unversity i am looking for.

Langston,Jeremy must be here.

After finding a parking spot,i quickly exited the car and walking towards the entrance.Students were walking around,studying as they were sitting under the shade of trees.

I followed the brick walkway,watching the young people.

Studying.

Talking.

Being with friends.

Falling in love.

Some of them being alone.

As i was getting lost into my thoughts,from the corner of my left eye i noticed a group of three girls,giggling as their gazes were focused on me.

"Oh.My.God.He is so hot!"

"Fresh meat in Langston i see.Watch me getting him on my bed tonight!"

"Jesus,your hormones girls-"

I turned around,walking with a calm pace towards them,making them all three quiet down looking at their books.

I softly chuckled,stopping in front of them as they were sitting on the grass under a tree shade.

"Hello girls."

The black haired girl slowly looked up at me,maybe slightly blushing."Hey.."

I smiled,making her blush a bit more.

My eye focused on their books.

History of the Renaissance Art.

"You are in the art course,right?"

All three blushed,but the black haired girl perked up,quickly standing up."Yes!You must be new,i will show you around!"

The other two slightly death glared her as she gripped the book against her chest.

"Actually,i am looking for someone that is on the same course as you."

Her face slightly fell.

"Do you happen to know Jeremy Fitzgerald?"

Her face clearly showed that she has lamed out,sitting back down on the grass with her friends."Yeah,he is a very talented guy in our course,but so shy even though all the professors love his work!"

I held back a chuckle,clearing my throat."Do you happen to know where he is hanging out after class?"

"He is either going home,or going to the library or to that small cafe down the street." Another girl answered,still staring at her book."

"Thank you so much girls,have a nice day." With a small smile,i walked away,softly chuckling as my fingers run through my long hair.

"I take back what i said,he is NOT hot."

"Now you are just being rude."

"Excuse me,but if he had both of his eyes and not scars all over him,maybe he would be decent."

I huffed,slightly clenching my jaw.

And if you had a heart maybe you would have been a decent person,because now you are just a pile of shit.

A heavy sigh escaped my lips,slightly rubbing my cheek,feeling the scar right across it.

God,who am i kidding,i am not even decent,i lost all my charm.

Shaking my head from these thoughts,i exited the campus,walking towards my car.

"Vincent?"

The voice made me stop on my tracks,turning around.

The young male had his green eyes wide,clutching his backpack looking at me up and down,pulling slightly his hair to the side.

"Well,look at this university boy." I chuckled,approaching him with a smile,his small frame looking up at me.

"What are you doing here Vincent."

"Obviously looking for you."

"But why?"

I gave him a small look."I just got out and thought to come and see you all."

He huffed,his eyes looking away for second."He told you,didn't he?"

My eyes were clouded with confusion.

"What do you-"

"Don't play dumb Vincent!"

His raised voice got me by surprise,making me slightly take a step back.

"Fritz told you that i see her sometimes right?Because for her you are here,not for your friends."

"Hey,hey,Jeremy calm yourself.Yes,i am looking for (Y/N) but that doesn't mean i don't care about you guys."

His eyes slightly wondered off,and then looked back at me.

"Jeremy,i am worried about her,but i am worried and care about you guys too,just.." My voice trailed off,sighing deeply as my hand slightly rubbed the back of my neck."My feelings about (Y/N),have me worked up."

He slightly bit his lip,rubbing his wrist.

"How are you feeling?Getting better?"

A small smile cracked along my lips.

I took a step foward and my arms wrapped around his small figure,giving him a tight hug.

"Much better knowing i have you guys by my side,thank you."

He hesitated,but his arms managed to sneak around my body carefully,hugging me back.

A sigh left my smiling lips.

"You..have changed."

I slowly pulled away,looking at him with a smile."People change for the better,or the worse.We will see how it will go.But since i have been given a second chance,might as well use it wisely."

His eyes were focused on me,almost not believing what he was seeing or hearing.

"I don't know what Mike told you about me,how things would be after the incedent,but i don't want things to change,i don't see a reason why not be in touch with each other.He can still hate me all he wants,but i will always wait for him and the others for beer Sunday."

Jeremy slightly laughed."God,the things we would do.Sundays together always made me feel like the whole week of working those tiring shifts at Fazbear were worth it."

His gaze had a hint of nostalgia in them,sighing slightly.

"You know how Mike is,he would probably believe you are the same person as before." He looked up at me with a smile."But i see something different on you Vincent,and Mike will come around at some point and see it."

My long fingers reached for his hair and ruffled them,making him softly giggle."You are a good person Jeremy,i hope i will see around."

I smiled and patted his shoulder,making my way back the car,taking the keys out.

"Monet's!"

He suddenly said out loud.

I turned back at him,confusion were written all over my face.

"Monet's?"

"She works there.I go there time to time to check on her.It's the cafe down the street."

He nervously rubbed his wrist,looking down at his shoes."Mike said not to tell you,because things aren't looking the best for her.He hasn't told me much,that is all i know."

My fingers reached for his chin,slowly lifting up his face.

"Don't be afraid,it is better to tell than hide it.She is our friend and something is up,and she probably needs help."

His shaky hand reached for mine,slightly squeezing it."Please help her,try to talk to her if you see her."

"I will try.I promise."

Jeremy smiled,letting go of my hand."I better get home,Mike knows around the time i finish so,i better go."

"No problem,tell him that i will see him soon." I softly chuckled,but Jeremy seemed nervous,but nodded anyways.

Watching slowly pick up the pace and almost running towards home,i glanced at the watch,before gazing down the street.

Monet's,huh?

~~

Pushing the door of the cafe open,i noticed a long line almost reaching the door.

I looked around the cafe,admiring the unique decor with the paintings and the eccentric colors along the furniture as well,with a small touch of pastel colors.

Many university students were sitting on the tables,drinking their coffee and working on their laptops.

I looked around for any familiar faces,but nothing.

As i was pacing around at the shop,thoughts were circling my mind every five seconds,that i didn't notice i pumped into someone.

"Watch out!You spill the coffee,you pay it!" The waitress huffed,steading the tray with the coffees on top.

"I am so sorry miss." I turned around,looking at a tall girl,almost reaching my height,the right side of her head was shaved as she had long blue hair.

"You are staring too much,want something pirate dude?"

I slightly chuckled,making her raise an eyebrow.

"Actually um.." My eye took a glipse at her name tag."Morgan,i am looking for someone."

"We all do in a way." She walked towards the table with the order and placed the coffees on the table,as i followed her."Give me name."

"(Y/N) (L/N).They told me she works here."

She puts the tray under her arm,turning around to look at me from head to toe.

"And who are you asking for her?"

Before i could answer,a voice from the back called out for her,making her groan.

"Coming boss!"

She walked away but my hand grabbed her wrist."Wait!Please,tell me she is here."

"First of all,get your hand off my wrist pirate boy."

I slightly backed away,retreating my hand.

"Secondly,she has the day off today,i guess problems at home."

She walked towards the counter to take the next order but i quickly i followed her.

"Problems at home?What do you mean?"

She rolled her eyes,placing a mug with hot chocolate and another one with hot steaming tea on her tray.

"Look,i had enough with you.Want to know?Go to her house and ask her yourself,and good luck coming out without her boyfriend beating you up.That man is crazy!The other day came and dragged her out of the shop while she was still working."

She huffed and walked away,leaving me in my thoughts.

Hands slowly turning into fists,knuckles almost going white.

I knew it something was up with that bastard.

I quickly take my leave from the cafe,walking fast towards my car,jumping on the driver seat and starting the engine.

I pulled my phone out,dialing her number,tapping nervously my hand on the wheel.

But i got the same response as all the other times.

I put the phone away,and drove off the parking spot,gripping the wheel tightly.

I hope it's not too late.
