Too Late to Hold Me Back novel Chapter 649

On Wednesday evening, as Mira and Leah Monroe approached their dorm, they could hear the explosive sounds of a screaming match before they even opened the door.

"Vanessa introduced that guy to me! And you just swooped in and stole him! Have you no shame?"

The furious voice belonged to Jillian Lowe.

"All is fair in love and war. The guy liked me better, so what's it to you?" Piper Bennett shot back sharply.

Piper, who lived in Elara Finn's room down the hall, wasn't backing down an inch.

"Aren't you already dating Wyatt Wright? How many guys are you trying to string along at once?"

"Who cares how many guys I date? I do what I want. It just means I have options.

"I'm sure you'd love to string along a few guys yourself, but unfortunately, you're way too ugly to pull it off. Nobody wants you."

"Who the hell are you calling ugly?! Who doesn't want me?!"

Jillian snapped. She launched herself across the room, tackling Piper straight to the floor.

Mira and Leah had barely caught the tail end of the argument before the physical brawl erupted. They quickly shoved the door open and stepped inside.

They weren't stepping in to break up the fight; they just wanted to make sure the girls didn't smash into their desks and destroy their things.

"Get up, both of you! Aren't you embarrassed?" Vanessa Voss barked at the two girls rolling around on the floor.

Seeing Mira and Leah walk in, Vanessa immediately started yelling at her warring friends to stop.

But Jillian and Piper were locked in a vicious struggle, pulling hair and scratching, neither willing to be the first to back down.

Realizing she couldn't pull them apart on her own, Vanessa stormed toward the door in a huff.

She was likely heading out to find backup.

The two brawling girls were thrashing around right in the middle of the entryway, completely blocking the path inside.

Mira simply stepped cleanly over their rolling bodies and took a seat at her desk. Leah, who didn't possess Mira's martial arts agility, tried to step over them a few times but kept getting clipped by flailing limbs.

"Just wait a second," Mira called out to Leah. "Vanessa went to grab reinforcements. She'll be back any second."

Mira informed her calmly.

"How do you know she went to get help?" Leah asked, looking exasperated.

She frowned in confusion.

"What else would she be doing?" Mira shrugged.

"This is so embarrassing. We're in college and people are still getting into catfights?"

Leah scoffed in disgust.

The two girls on the floor were too busy screaming and tearing at each other to hear a word Mira or Leah were saying anyway.

"Probably off to settle their little love triangle," Mira guessed.

"Wait, wasn't Piper dating Wyatt Wright from Harvey Rivers's dorm? Why the hell is she stealing guys from Jillian?"

"Who knows? Cast a wide net, catch the biggest fish, right?"

"That's so messed up!" Leah groaned.

Truth be told, Mira had discreetly recorded the entire pathetic brawl on her phone. She could have easily sent the video to Harvey, ensuring Wyatt found out about his girlfriend's extracurricular activities.

But Mira couldn't care less about other people's messy love lives. She wasn't going to get involved.

It wasn't long before Vanessa and Jillian dragged themselves back into the room.

Likely terrified that Mira and Leah were going to mock them, the two girls climbed into their beds in complete silence without uttering a single word.

The next day at lunch, right in the middle of their meal, Elara suddenly pointed across the cafeteria. "Hey, look. I think some students are getting into a fight over there."

Mira followed Elara's finger and saw a massive crowd of students forming a tight circle.

Their curiosity getting the better of them, the girls quickly inhaled the rest of their food and jogged over to see what the commotion was about.

"If you want to break up, just have the guts to say it! Going behind my back to hook up with someone else? Are you playing me? Or was I just your backup plan?"

The furious voice ringing out across the cafeteria belonged to Wyatt Wright, Harvey's roommate. And the girl standing opposite him, looking absolutely horrified, was none other than Piper Bennett.
