I swallow loudly before looking from Tony towards Coby.

"OK, OK. I admit it, we ha.. had an argument, I lost my cool..."

I can feel the tears falling from my eyes now and my mouth is dry, and my words are hard to get out.

"I didn't mean to hurt him, I just wanting him to shut up, to take the beating that Zacky should have got and..."

I sigh again, Coby's grip has loosened as I explain myself to him now.

"And then, he started to have one, one of this attacks and... I panicked, I didn't know what to do so... I ran, I didn't mean for it to end this way. I didn't mean to hurt him or kill him. I didn't mean it, I really didn't mean it."

He sounds so genuine, I almost feel sorry for him. Only almost. In the end, he did kill Chris, whether he meant to or not. He could have found us, I mean Coby's only next door, he could have got there, explained everything and none of this would be happening.

I look across to Coby, not really sure what we're going to be doing here now.

His tears prove that he's not lying to me, I haven't seen Alex cry before. My brows knit together in the middle of my forehead in thought.

"Then why didn't you come back? Why didn't you say anything at his funeral? Why do you act like you don't care?"

I am getting a little angry with him now.

"You haven't shown any emotion or remorse for your crime, the only reason you are like this now is because I caught you, because you know that I would hurt you, make your life hell. You didn't care about him..."

"Because it's easier to feel nothing than something." I offer, "Right Alex? If you didn't keep up the nonchalance, you'd break down and you wouldn't know how to deal with it because everyone here hates you?"

I'm just guessing wildly here but I think I might be right. Everyone here suspected Alex had something to do with it. They might not have known exactly what was going on with him and Chris, but they knew they shared a room. Everyone always suspects the roomate.

I don't listen to what Alex is saying, all I can hear is what Tony said to him over and over again. Is he standing up for him? Because it damn well sounded like it.

How can he stick up for this guy? Give him a reason for his silence, he is meant to be on our side here. I am so mad right now, it's as if my ears have shut down, I can't hear what Alex is saying, at all, I just need to vent my anger somewhere else. I can not lose my persona around him.

I look over at Tony, giving him a slightly confused look before looking back at Alex, letting go of his neck, ignoring what he's got to say and letting him fall back against the wall.

"This isn't over," I say to him before turning my heel, ready to make my way out of the door.

I give Alex one final glare before following Coby out of the door. I have a feeling I'm going to get it now. I'm not defending Alex's actions in any way at all. He killed one of the best guys in this place, that's unforgiveable. But at least we know he does feel some remorse. Or at least I can tell he feels it, that's got to count for something.

"Well I think you've effectively scared him enough for today." I say with a half smile as we meet Joel out in the hallway.

I walk past Joel, nodding to him that the job is done and that he is free to go, even though it's not. But he doesn't need to know that.

I watch Joel make his way down the hall towards his room again as I wait for Tony outside the room, a glare on my face and my arms folded across my chest.

I approach Coby, not really sure what the best plan of action would be here. I choose to just smile at him and hope for the best, it's worked for me before.

"You look really pissed off." I point out, "You want to pummel me now or wait for a while?"

Nows probably not the time for jokes but I can't help myself. I feel uncomfortable. I don't know what to say.

I still can't believe he did that. He made me look like an idiot in front of Alex right when I needed him, I can't put on this scary persona on my own, it was almost 2 against 1 to me in there, and that's not the way it should be.

I turn towards him, seeing him smile at me so I frown at him, moving my face closer to his.

"Your room, now," I order in a dark voice before turning my heel and making my way up the hallway towards Tony's room.

Oh this is the last thing I need right now. Being trapped in a room with a sexy, angry Coby. He'll be lucky if I don't come on him the second he opens his mouth.

I follow him upto my room, not saying anything all the way, now probably isn't the right time to dispute him.

I march up the hallway towards his room, only stopping at his door so that he can open it to let me in.

I stand with my arms folded as he opens the door and lets himself in. I haven't said a word until the door his shut behind us both.

"What the hell was that about?" I ask him as I flail my hands into the air.

"Y'know stick by your best friend, you sold me up the fucking river. What the hell were you thinking?!"

"I was just trying to help!" I offer, "Your angry approach wasn't exactly working."

I walk across to the bed in my room and sit down on it, "I figured maybe if he realized what he'd done, if he felt bad about what he'd done then perhaps he'd end up punishing himself more than either of us two could."

It makes sense in my head, I only hope Coby sees it my way or he'll just get ore angry and I'll fuckin' jump him where he stands.

"Erm, no," I say to him, placing my hands on my hips.

He does make some sense with that he is saying. Alex could really harm himself if he felt like everyone hated him, but I wouldn't let that happen. I just wanted the truth, and that's what I got.

"It worked, we got what we needed before you got all Oprah on his ass. We didn't need the good cop bad cop routine because if you have ever seen Lethal Weapon, IT SO DOES NOT WORK!"

Oh man, I am so hot for you right now. Even frantic, angry Coby is turning me on. This is not a good sign. I need to fuck Joel.

"Mel Gibson, right? Yeah, I can't watch his films."

I offer a smile by way of apology, "Well, think of it this way, we managed to save the day without resorting to violence. We should both be very proud."

I nod to get my point across, "Don't you think, Blossom?"

"Blossom? Are you taking the piss?" I ask him as I flail my arms around a little more.

"Why aren't you taking this seriously?!" I yell as I move closer to him, "this is a serious matter. One of our friends is dead, by the hands of someone in this place, and all you can do is stand their and make fun of me!"

"Of course I'm taking this seriously!" I snap back, getting up from the bed and approaching him, "Alex will be thinking about what he's done now, Coby. Don't you get it? Isn't that more suffering for him than anything we could give him? He's going to have to live with this guilt for the rest of his life!"

I grab his arms, "We don't need to do anything else because he'll do it all himself."

"Hey, I wasn't doing this to make him feel guilty, I was doing this to get the fucking truth and you know it!" I yell back at him.

I grab onto his own arms, to shake him a little from me, but he's not budging.

"Argh, for fuck sake, will you just let the fuck go of me?!"

"Could have fooled me."

I've never had angry Coby aimed at me before. Well not without tears following and him collapsing into my arms. Somehow I don't think that's the way this is going to go.

"I was just trying to help, you know I was." I tell him.

I'm all too conscious of my hands on his arms, of his fury, of everything else. I'm trying to think of any reason I could have to justify what I want to do right now. I'm amazed with how quickly it takes me to go from rational thought to the desperation to feel Coby against me.

I've been quiet too long, holding onto him for too long. I release his arms, "I'm sorry, I just... I've not been thinking straight."

I glare at him before rolling my eyes at him.

This isn't my fault, I made just doing my job and he knows that.

I look at him in bemusement as he lets go of my arms, and he's... blushing, what the hell?

"Thinking straight? What could you possibly..." and then it hits me, what he meant by that, "Oooh..."

This is awkward as hell. I'm not supposed to be awkward. Anytime something gets awkward I joke around or I hide. I don't think either will fly right now. I just smile sweetly at him.

"This, this isn't any kind of big, grand 'I love you' thing, y'know. It's just... desperate lusting." I explain.

I can feel my face burning up, this is so humiliating.

"What?" I say with my face still painting a picture of bemusement.

He's lusting after me? I have no idea what to say. He's... I have no idea what to even think right now. I just look at him, still confused as hell.

"So... it's... it... g-huh?"

Wait, I thought he'd got that. I could have just completely got out of this by keeping my mouth shut and... gah, I hate him sometimes.

"What did you think I met?" I ask, a little frantically, "I'm sorry Coby, you're just... really fuckin' hot when you're angry and I haven't been with anyone since Zacky and that was fuckin' forever ago."

I couldn't be feeling much more awkward and uncomfortable right now. Goddamnit.

"Oooh," I say, sure that that is all I am going to be able to say right now.

I bite into my lip, my anger has completely drained now, as I'm just feeling awkward and confused to fuck now.

"I... I gotta go," I say in a stutter as I try to look everywhere but Tony, I just can't look at him right now.

I bite into my lip again before making my way towards his door. I can't deal with all of this right now.

"Coby, you don't have to go. I'm sorry, I... I wasn't going to do anything about it. I'm not interested in you like that normally. Fuck, I'd even screw Brody right now."

Good going Tony, just keep on digging yourself into a hole. I bring my hands to my face, trying to hide behind them.

"Actually maybe you leaving would be wise. Let me find a cock somewhere to take advantage of."

I look back at him slightly wide eyed.

"Why did you have to tell me?" I ask him as I keep my hand on the door handle, "We all have enough going on right now, now I have to worry about you too."

I know it's selfish me thinking about myself in this, but it is true, I do have enough to worry about right now. I've got my relationship with Brian, my studies, all these people on the campus looking for some comfort, dealing with my grief [and everybody else's] for Chris. And now this, I can't help but blow up a little.

"Thanks, thanks a lot Tony."
