I waited. For hours, I sat in my room, waiting for Bim. I was determined that she would come back, because honestly, she had no place else to go. That would be Louis's place, but she would never go there after what he told her.
I kept imagining the scene in front of me. How she took the courage and walked over to him, and talked to him. Only that was unbelieveble coming from Bim, so the next part was scaring me to death. The part when he rejects her. I could see in front of me how her happy, nervous face slowly died, and how her eyes got watery. My stomach was aching when I could see Bim say "okay" with a low voice, and walk away with the shame punishing her.
For hours, I sat and kept replaying the scene I had builded up, over and over again, while waiting for her to come back. I was just about to give up and go to see Louis again, when a key was put and twisted in the keywhole. Immediately, I stood up and went through what I was going to say. My hands started to shake and fumble with each other to calm down my nervosity. I took a last deep breath before Bim opened the door and with tired eyes, threw a glance full of hatred at me.

"H-hi, Bim..!" I said.

She shook her head while laughing.

"You're pathetic, you know that right?" She said and pushed me out of her way.

She walked past me, to the back of the room where a big bureau was standing. It belonged to Bim, and all her clothes were in there.

"Well, I guess I can play your game. Hi, Kath! How has your day been? You have had a lot of guilt, haven't you?" She said with a light, happy, but sarcastic voice.

But then she shot me a harsh, dark look.

"You better have." She said with slightly clenched teeth.

"If I tell you that I really had, would you.."

"Not a chance in hell." She interrupted.

"Bim.. I'm so sor-"

"Don't bullshit me, Kath. Enough is enough, for Gods sake!" She shouted and violently opened up one of her drawers.

The clothes flew out of the drawer and down on the floor from her sudden move. A huge, deep sigh came out of Bims mouth as she closed her eyes.

"You knew that he left me for you at the party. And you didn't tell me. That was what happened, right?" She said, a bit calmed down.

But I knew that this was just the calm before the storm.

"Okay, listen. He didn't leave you, because one; he's still here, and he's still your friend! And two; you.. you guys were never really a couple, so logically, he didn't leave you.."

"Thanks, Kath!" Bim smiled and ripped up one of her suitcases. "Thanks for reminding me of that!"

"Bim, I just.."

"Shut you selfish, disgusting mouth, Kath!"

I did. Instead, I followed her hands, her body, and what she was doing. She kept throwing out clothes from her bureau and down in her suitcase. Then it got to me. I had been too busy trying to talk to her, apologize to her, that I missed what was happening in front of me. Bim was leaving me! Wait, was she leaving the college? Would she switch room and get a best friend that would never lie or betray her, just so she could rub it up in my face? A million thoughts were now coming up as I was starting to panic.

"Bim, please, don't leave.." I tried, but she interrupted me.

"Didn't I tell you to shut up?" She spat. "There's nothing you can say anyway."

"But Bi-"

"Look. I can't switch rooms or sleep somewhere else, so me leaving will just be a permanent thing. Just until I have figured things out.."

"Figure what out? Bim, you are my friend. Louis still is your friend. I'm sorry that you got caught in the middle, but it happened, and if I could take it back, I would! There's nothing to figure out! Just please, try to understand that I am sorry and I didn't want this.."

Bim stared at me. It was the kind of stare that was screaming "are you on drugs?". After a few seconds, she started to smile, and her eyes narrowed.

"Louis didn't just tell me that you two lovebirds were dating, he told me that you were dating Niall, Liam, Harry and Zayn too!" She laughed. "I guess you're a bigger whore than I thought."

I looked down at the floor. Hearing those words from someone is tough. Hearing them from someone you care about, is the worst thing that can happen.

"You do realize that it won't work? Whatever you think will happen, won't happen. If the rich, little girl couldn't make up her mind before, she won't be able now either. Just because you want to shag every hot boy in here doesn't mean you can have them all, you spoiled bitch."

Tears were forming in my eyes and the words that came out of Bims mouth crashed straight into me, one after one, hitting the most fragile parts I had.

"So now you're crying?" She laughed. "If you can't survive the reality, you sure as hell won't survive five relationships at once. Wake up, honey, and face reality. This is just some fantasy-dream of yours that you've always wanted. But you know what?"

She stepped closer to me, after she dropped her bag on the floor.

"Along the way, you will hurt people. You already have."

She watched my face break down in tears.

"I don't have time for this.. I gotta go." She said and walked back to her bag and picked it up.

On her way to the door, I reached out my hand, just to say something. But nothing came out. It was like my body had accepted the fact that the little trust Bim had gave me, was now gone. But my mind, my heart and my tummy hadn't, yet. So I remained quiet as she opened the door, and just before she closed it, she looked straight into my eyes, and said:

"Good luck."
