Twice he had tried to call her from Iran. A bloody expensive phone call to get her answer machine. He had left her messages and recieved no reply, not even an e-mail. Then to top it off he had gotten in at the airport after a long flight with delays, to find she was not there to meet him like she had promised. To say he was pissed off when he opened the door to his room was a bit of an understatement. He was severely irritatable, not to mention upset. he goes away for a week, to something he had no control over and she decides she's not interested.
In the words of Greenday, nice guys finish last. he thought to himself with a bittter smirk. Well, not anymore. he was through being trodden upon by the people he cared about. Frowning he dumped his bags and turned around to go and knock on her door.

Surprisingly her head wasn't aching like she thought it would be, Obie thought groggily as she was jarred awake by a knock on her door. Though she was definitely fuzzy from her late night excursion the night before and wasn't feeling one hundred percent. Opening the door, she blinked in utter surprise.
"Ra... when... when did you get back?" she asked.

"So you remember who I am then?" he asked, folding his arms and glaring at her. "Such a shame you couldn't remember to meet me at the airport or drop me an e-mail." He looked her over, if the stale smell of cigarettes and alcohol wasn't enough her dishevled appearence told him exactly what he wanted to know. "Well, looks like I know why now. I hope you had a good time Obie."

Obie's eyes opened wide and she quickly glanced over to her calender next to her door which had a big red circle out the current day's date and the gate and time at which to pick Ra up at. Looking back at him, she quickly understood his irritation.
"Ne-chan, I'm so sorry. I set my alarm. I... I must have slept through it," she said softly. "I really am sorry love."

"No Obie I'm sorry." he said, his irritation not letting up. "I'm sorry you feel the need to be so stupid and selfish. The week and flight from hell and all that was keeping me going was that you would be at the other end. But no, obviously you were far to busy causing your own destruction. Why the hell are you drinking still Obie, I thought we talked about this!" He sighed and ran his fingers through his hair.

Obie frowned and gripped the doorknob as she shifted her weight to one foot.
"Yeah. Okay. We talked about it. I'm just having a bit of fun Ra. Not that you would understand that," she said, looking up into his eyes. "You're being a bit overdramatic."

Ra raised an eyebrow at her and thre his hands up in the air.
"I'm not going to even get into this. You know what you are doing and you know how dangerous it can be for you. I'm sorry I care about your welfare, and I'm doubley sorry you find me so boring. I'll just leave you to it shall I?" He asked as he took a step back from the door.
"You know what I'm fed up of being walked over by girls like you. You want your fun, you go ahead. Don't even think about coming running to me when you can't stop. When your grades are going down the drain and when you have no friends left because you keep treating them like s**t. One phone call Obie, one e-mail. Five minutes of your time when I needed you most. That's all I wanted."

Obie glared at him and swallowed hard. She was not in the mood to be dealing with this at the moment. So she made one bloody mistake. Granted it wasn't a very small one, but damn... it wasn't like he was completely alone. He had had his family there with him. She really had intended to be there at the airport this morning. She watched him take a step back away from her, then frowned angrily at his next words.
"Girls like me? What the hell is that supposed to mean exactly? You knew from the very beginning about me and my past and I've given you plenty of opportunities to get the hell out of this, so don't you dare try to pull that 'poor me' innocent crap," she said angrily shoving her hair back out of her face. "I'm not stupid and I won't make the same mistakes twice, so you won't have to worry about me running to you any time soon. I said I was sorry. What more do you want from me?"

Ra blinked and frowned at her.
"What? i don't give a ******** about your past Obie. I mean, I put all myfaith into someone, I sit back whilst they accuse me of having an affair with one of my best friends, I helped you when you came knocking on my door drunk, I didn't get too upset with you though I knew you shouldn't be doing it. I give you everything and then when I need you, really need you, you bail on me. What am I supposed to think when I can't get hold of you, when I don't hear from you, when you don't come to meet me. I've been worried sick only to return to find you've been having far to much of a good time to give me a second thought." He smirked at her last words. "You already are, and you're all the bloody same." He siad before turning to storm away from her and back to his room.

"What the hell do you know Rashne?" she demanded as her temper suddenly flared and she stepped out into the hall to watch him walk back to his room. "You don't know a damn thing about what's been going on since you left. I make one goddamned mistake and I'm suddenly every girl that ever did you wrong? You tell me you're sorry and I'm just supposed to accept it. I say I'm sorry and it's not good enough. So you know what? You can just go to hell. It's your own goddamned fault for putting all of yourself into something as stupid as a relationship," she said, then stepped into her room and slammed the door.~~~~~

Several days later Ra sat in the courtyard waiting for his partner for some project he was supposed to be doing. He had been given several extensions because of his loss of family but it was not that that was affecting his mind.
He made peace with his grandmother through his prayers and talks with his grandfather, now, the only thing praying on his mind was his fight with Obie. He was still so angry and upset by her. Yes he had said things that he shouldn't but she really couldn't see what she had done, not just to him but to herself.

Obie was tempted not to go. She had offered to be paired up with Ra so that she could carry most of the burden of his absence for him so he wouldn't be terribly behind. But now she didn't want to have anything to do with him. The things he had said had hurt, even more so since she knew deep down pretty much all of it had been true. She had abandoned him when he needed her most and she knew how that felt. It was painful.
Staring down at the glass of amber liquid in her hand, she knew she should dump it down the drain of her sink, but she couldn't stop shaking she was so nervous about facing him. Closing her eyes she quickly threw back a shot of whiskey she had bought for a night when a few people had gathered for a small party while Ra had been gone, and let the warmth course through her. It was only one. No one else would know.
Taking a deep breath, she set her glass in the sink and opened her eyes. She could do this. She could face him long enough to at least get this project done. Leaving her room, she walked out of the dorms to meet him in the courtyard. Spying him a few yards away, she swallowed hard and lifted her chin a little. Walking up to his table, she sat down and started to pull out her notebook with notes she had already started to make.
"I'm sorry I kept you," she said simply, keeping her eyes glued down to the table as she slid her notes across to him.

Ra looked up to her and gave a half smile. he wanted to hold her and tell her that it was all forgotten. Though it wasn't She was hurting herself and she had hurt him. If she was going to learn anything she was going to do it the hard way.
"It's all right." he said with a small shrug. Taking her notes and looking them over. "How have you been?" he asked as he started to look over the research question. This would be all right, sure she had ripped out his heart and practically handed it to her, though he knew she didn't mean half of it. You didn't give gifts like the one he wore around his neck if you thought relationships stupid. This time however he was not going to be the one to cave first.

Looking off across the courtyard, she pulled her coat tighter around her and shrugged a little at his question.
"Alright," she replied and glanced up at him briefly, then turned to her bag to dig out some gum. She could still taste the alcohol on her breath and it made her blush. She knew she was in the wrong. She knew she was starting to lose control... assuming she ever had control in the first place, she thought bitterly.
"How have you been?" she asked, shoving the gum wrapper back into her bag and slipping it between her lips.

"About the same." he said with a return shrug, watching her take a piuece of gum and looking abck down to his work. he let an uncomfortable silence fall between them as he continued to work, making notes and doublke checking her calculations. If she was going to play her favourite roll of ice queen then he would let her.
