Chapter 1 Real
College ExperiencesIt's been another
five months since their last phone call and Randy Taylor and Lisa
Wilson have not been in touch since. Sometimes they run into each
other and as Lisa tries to make contact, but Randy just turns
away.
Now, the rest of the Taylor family is in New York and on their way to Randy's dorm for a surprise visit.
As the building comes into view, Tim stops the car.
'Well, Brad, Mark, why don't you go on and find your brother. Your mom and I will park the car.' The brothers nod and step out of the car.
They head for the door of the dorm and step inside, walking carefully, to be sure not to step on the few hungover students lying in the main hallway. Randy lives on the second floor, so they head there right away. Sure enough, that hallway is also littered with students. Some running around, spraying each other with a water gun and others partially hungover. They look around in amusement, until they stop in front of their brother's door. Brad knocks and they wait for an answer.
Loud music can be heard coming from the room, but it's shut down after the knock. Some stumbling and voices are heard, before the door opens and reveals Randy, looking annoyed. He doesn't fully open the door, just sticks his head out.
'What?' His expression turns to confusion and surprise as he recognizes his brothers. 'What are you guys doing here?'
Mark and Brad exchange glances. 'Yeah, it's good to see you too.'
'No, it's just that you didn't tell me you were coming.'
'Well, that's because we wanted to surprise you. It was mom's idea.' Mark replies.
'Mom's here?' Randy's eyes go wide at hearing this.
'Mom and dad are both here. They're just parking the car.' Randy looks annoyed again and shakes his head. Mark and Brad shrug, when a female voice is heard, coming from Randy's room.
'Randy? Come back to bed, it's getting cold in here.' Everyone's eyes go wide. Randy laughs nervously.
'I'll be right there!' he says with a smile to the unseen female in his room. Then he fully opens the door and steps out into the hallway in his bathrobe and closes the door behind him.
'Ok, you really should have called first...'
'Who was that?' Mark asks him.
'It doesn't matter, you don't know her. Look, this is not a good time...' Brad raises his eyebrows.
'Yeah, I'll say. Man, you are so lucky we're here and not mom and dad.' He and Mark both snicker.
'Haha, very funny. Look, you really have to go, ok?'
'I don't think so, man. We all came out here to see you, you're not blowing us off right now.'
'damn it.. Alright.. I, just wait here. I'll just get dressed.' He walks into his room and quickly closes the door, preventing Brad and Mark from being able to see the mystery lady.
After about ten minutes, the door opens again and four really hot girls step out right behind one another. Mark and Brad stare after them with their eyes wide and mouths hanging open. They snap out of their trance when they hear someone scraping their voice next to them.
'Yeah, I know they're hot. Now please close your mouths, people are staring.'
'Uhm, I don't think they're staring at us.' Randy rolls his eyes and smiles amusingly, before stepping out into the hallway fully dressed. He closes the door behind him.
'Come on, let's go find mom and dad.'
'Aren't we going to see your room?'
'Hilarious, really. I had time to get dressed, not to clean up. You don't want to know what it looks like in there. You really think I'd let mom and dad find out what I've been up to?'
'Fair enough. But honestly.. Four?' Brad asks him.
Randy shrugs. 'Yeah, so what? It's no big deal.'
'No big deal? You had four girls in your room at the same time and you think that's no big deal?' He just shrugs again.
'Randy, you've always just had a steady girlfriend. It's not really like you to have one night stands.' Randy rolls his eyes.
'Oh, honestly.. You sound like mom and dad. So I've changed. Who cares? I'm popular.' he grins as he waves at a few girls, who smile and wave back. One hands him her phone number, while Brad and Mark stare after them again. 'What? A guy can't have any fun?'
'That's not the point. This isn't like you. You always treated girls with respect. And what about Lisa?' A hardly noticeable flicker of pain and anger rushes through his eyes, but his brothers notice.
'What about her?'
'I thought you loved her.' Mark replies.
'I do, I mean, I did. But that's over. We broke up like a year ago. She's probably moved on with "Don" and I've moved on too.'
'Randy, sleeping with all the girls in college isn't going to make the pain go away. And Lisa hasn't been with Don. She broke up with him, right after you broke up. She hasn't been with anyone. She still cares about you.' Randy just turns away and laughs.
'Yeah, sure she does. Look, I don't care, ok? I'm over her.'
'No, you're not. You still love her, everyone knows it. You just don't want to admit it. Why aren't you fighting this? You should be trying to get her back.' Randy looks angrily at his younger brother.
'You have no idea what you're talking about, Mark. And you know what? I don't think you guys came here to tell me how to act, so let's just go find mom and dad and talk stuff that actually matters. Oh, and neither of you is going to say anything about those girls, alright?' They both reluctantly nod. Randy then walks off and heads towards his parents, who are just coming up to the dorm. Mar and Brad look at his retreating form with concerned glances.

I do have to warn you, I will be skipping time a couple of times, so things might happen very fast. Does anyone have any ideas for Randy and Lisa to run into each other?
Please R&R and I will try to update again soon!
