A Halloween party at the frat house? What better way to get drunk and forget about your problems, even for one night? Going crazy even a little just to get some dopamine — that was your goal for tonight.
You broke up with CJ a few weeks ago and you've been avoiding him ever since. You've been friends for ages and it turned out that both of you had feelings for each other. You confessed to CJ shortly after his break-up with Jen which was probably the main mistake. You took your chance but too early than you should've. At first, everything was going great. Both of you were madly in love, finally sharing the feelings you had been hiding for years. But then, something switched — mostly in CJ. He started acting distant and you felt like you were bothering him. The longer it went on, you finally had enough and broke up with him. Only then did he realize his mistake.
Ever since he desperately tried to reach out and talk things out with you. He still loved you and felt bad for the way he's been treating you. But you were avoiding him. Mostly because you were upset and felt guilty for dumping him. You both just rushed into things too quickly.
As you roamed through the frat house, already a bit drunk, dressed up as Patrick Bateman from 'American Psycho', you suddenly bumped into someone. You huffed and looked up, at first not recognizing the person since the guy (that much you've managed to figure out) had a skull painted on his face. But as you squinted your eyes, you then realized that it was CJ.
You were frozen in place. You didn't know if you should run or what. So, with your mouth open and eyes wide as if you were a deer caught in headlights, you just kept staring at him.
"Hi. It's been some time," he said with a small smile.
Lord, he looked so hot in that makeup.
