Portia blows her stack

Kaitlyn's POV:

Even though I am in college and trying to further my education, I am still the dumbest girl who ever lived. I am stupid because I was in Abbie's room and I told her that I hated Portia just because she broke up with me. I was so out of my mind with grief that I did not know what I was saying. The worst of part of it is Portia was standing right outside my friend's room when those awful words came out of my mouth. I know that my best friend heard what I said because she slammed the door of her room two seconds later. I hurt my best friend just because she hurt me first by breaking up with me. I really am stupid. Abbie practically kicked me out of her room until I apologized. That is what I have to do. As soon as I exited the frizzy artist's room, I saw a teddy bear on the floor. I assumed that it was Portia's bear which is weird since I have never known her to carry a stuffed toy. I walked the few steps to my ex-girlfriend's room and I timidly knocked on the door. There was no answer so I knocked louder. Portia still seemed determined to ignore me so I tried talking through the door.

"Portia, please open the door! I'm sorry! I didn't mean what I said! I could never hate you! Please talk to me! You don't have to forgive me! Just let me know that you are okay! I'm..."

"Maybe you should give her some space," Abbie suggested which made me jump in surprise. "I'm sure that Portia will be willing to talk to you once she has the opportunity to calm down."

"I am worried about Portia," I whined.

"I am too," Abbie confessed while hugging me.

"How could I have been so stupid?" I cried out.

"We've all said things we didn't mean under stress," Abbie consoled me while patting my back.

"Maybe Portia will open the door for you if I go to my room," I guessed.

"Okay, I'll try," Abbie gave in.

"I think this is Portia's teddy bear," I guessed while handing it over. "You might want to give it to her."

"I didn't know Portia owned a stuffed toy," Abbie objected.

"Neither did I, but I found it on the floor next to your door," I explained.

Chris' POV

I am sitting in my room typing an English assignment on my computer. At least I am trying to do my homework. Everything seems to have slowed down since Portia broke up with her girlfriend Kaitlyn. It almost seems like Portia and Kaitlyn have spread negative vibes over the whole dorm. We are worried about our two depressed suite mates because we are not just a group of friends but a family as well. When one of us is in pain then we all are in pain. I just wish there was something more than I could do for the former love birds. I offered Portia a shoulder to cry on, but it just doesn't seem to be enough. The phone mounted on my wall provided me with a much needed distraction.

"Hello?" I spoke into the receiver.

"It's me, Becca," the caller announced.

"What can I do for you?" I probed in mild shock. I had not spoken to Becca since we decided to quit dating.

"Is Portia around?" Becca pleaded.

"She is in her room as far as I know," I guessed.

"I tried to call her, but she would not pick up her phone," Becca complained.

"I am not surprised that you couldn't contact her," I reasoned. "Things are kind of out of whack around here."

"I can imagine," Becca sighed.

"You okay?" I probe since I noticed a note of depression in her voice.

"I'm worried about Portia," Becca revealed since.

"You?" I coughed in surprise since everyone knew that those two did not get along.

"I'm kind of surprised about it myself," Becca mused. "I guess Portia has a way of growing on you. I am sorry that I didn't realize that sooner."

"Portia told me what happened between the two of you last night," I mentioned.

"I was stunned that Portia took the time to talk to me after all of the bad things that I have done to her," Becca whined.

"I'm not," I debated. "Portia wants to help everyone."

"Could you ask her to call me the next time you see her?" Becca pleaded.

"I'll take care of it," I agreed.

"Thanks," Becca acknowledged.

"Your welcome," I replied just before Becca hanged up.

Hmm... Portia becomes friends with Becca and then breaks up with Kaitlyn. When did I get stuck in The Twilight Zone?

Abbie's POV:

I ran my fingers though my messy black hair in thought while standing in front of Portia's door. Her relationship with Kaitlyn might be gone, but the friendship can still be fixed. I just wish that I knew what to say to Portia to make this better. I look at the my friend's teddy bear as if it was supposed to give me an answer. Since toys only talk on Toy Story, I just knock on my gal pal's door. It really seems like she just does not want to talk to me so I try a verbal approach.

"Portia, it's Abbie! Can I come in? Everyone is worried about you!"

I was shocked by Portia's messy hair and bloodshot eyes when she finally opened the door because I have never seen her look this bad. It is breaking my heart to see my friend looking like this. I can only think of one thing to say.

"Is this your bear?"

Portia wordlessly took the bear and tossed it on her bed. I was surprised once again when the redhead pulled me into the room and cried on my shoulder. I helplessly rubbed her back. There must be something else I can do.

"It's going to be okay! Can we sit down?"

I held Portia for a few minutes while sitting on the bed until she finally stopped crying again. I think the best thing that I can do for Portia is make her understand that Kaitlyn doesn't really hate her. I know this course of action will be risky, but it's the only thing that I can think about.

"We need to talk about Kaitlyn," I requested.

"Damn it! Is that what you came in here to talk about?!" Portia screeched while standing up quickly. I thought that I had entered this room to talk to Portia, but I did not recognize the angry girl standing in front of me.

"Wha..." I gasped in shock.

"If that's what you came in here to talk about then you can get out of my freaking room right now! GET OUT!" Portia shrilly demanded while holding her door open for me.

I don't know what to do. I have never known Portia to act like a crazy person before. She has never even been this mad at Becca.
