Chapter 12
*Nat*
I had been in my room at my mom’s house since I got there. I never left it. I just sat there in my
sweats looking at pictures of Nick and me. When we were happy. And friends. Holding on to his
teddy bear that he gave me. When there was a noise at the window. I ignored it but then I went to
the window when it happened again. I looked out and saw Nick there.
“Hey.” I said quietly holding back the tears that had been coming out all day long.
“Can you come out? For a walk?” he asked.
“Yeah. I’ll be down there in a few minutes... I need to..”
“Just come as you are we’re going down to the beach.” he said. I nodded and went out the back
door towards Nick.
We walked down to the beach and sat down.
“What made you come?” I asked him. He looked down and back at me.
“Brian, he came into the apartment and told me that I had to talk to you because of the way I was
acting.”
“How were you acting?” I asked.
“Umm.. I laid in your bed since I found the note, and I cried and slept there. When he came I
almost told him what we did in there a few months ago then he stopped me and said I better go
talk to you or he was going to feel really bad for knowing all of that.”
“Oh, well I did the same. But in my room, looking at pictures.” I told him. He smiled at me.
“No wonder why your like that.” he said looking at me.
“Thanks.” I said.
“Nothing bad against it but you know.” he said. He then pulled me closer to him and said. “Let’s
spend your last day with me in peace.” he said. I smiled and we sat there just as we did before
watching the waves go by.
I ended up falling asleep and a little while later Nick started to move around. I ignored it and said.
“Nicky go back to sleep.” he then moved again and said. “Shit, Nat it’s 3:30am come on you gotta
get back home!” he said. I woke up right away.
He started to walk me home but then he stopped.
“What?” I asked.
“I can’t walk you all the way... it’s to hard.” he said.
“Please.” I pouted when he gave in and we walked hand in had down to my mom’s house. As we got
there he took me to my window. I looked at him before I went back up. “You going to come
tomorrow?” I asked pleading to him in my eyes.
“I don’t know... if I can I will... but I’m not going to make any promises.” he said.
“Alright, I understand. But if you do I want you to really.” I said and he smiled. “We’ll see.” he said.
Helping me up to my window I looked down at him as he blew me a kiss... “I love you.” I said in tears.
“I love you too... go get some sleep.” he said. I waved goodbye to Nick and fell on my bed crying
myself to sleep.
