Chapter 14

*nat*
I was in the car on the way home from the honeymoon and I was looking threw the books of all the guests who came. When I came across: don’t put her threw hell, she deserves better than you. Nick.
“So Nick did come.” I said out loud. Joel looked at me.
“You didn’t see him?” he asked.
“No, well yeah but I thought it was just me who saw him.”
He laughed and kept on driving. We both became well friends, not the kind like I am with Nick, the kind of shaky friends that can talk but don’t really like each other.
The whole honeymoon I sat in that hotel room looking outside, while Joel went to his work. We talked and that was just it. There was no sex I told him that I couldn’t have sex with him, it wouldn’t be right. He agreed and we both just ignored each other for that week.
We pulled up to the apartment and he pulled it into park. “I’m going to have to drop you off, your dad wants me to learn some things from him, I have to make a promise to you that I’m not going to hurt you in anyway, no matter what he says.”
I looked at Joel and even if I hate him I smiled.
“Thanks.” I said.
“And oh yeah Nat?” he asked.
“Yeah.”
“You know I’m going to get married to my girlfriend sometime soon.”
“I know.” I said.
“Your okay with it?”
“Yeah, I guess at least one of us can be happy.”
“You know if you had the chance to you would be with Nick right now.”
“He lives here.”
“I know but you know what I mean. Right?”
“Yeah. See you soon.” I said and walked out of the car.
I walked into the apartment and looked around and saw no lights on or anything. I looked at the answering machine the light was blinking so I pressed play. Even if I was moving out maybe some were for me. Who knows?
The first one of fifty. “Yo Nick? Where are you? It’s Brian call me when you come back.” After about ten of Brian the phone rang. “Hello?” I said.
“Hi, Nat. It’s Brian. Do you know where Nick is?”
“I don’t know Bri, I just came back. But I’m looking now. Why didn’t you come here?”
“I did no one answered and the key was gone.”
“Hmm odd.” I said walking into my room. I looked and saw my bed a little messy. As I told Brian I figured out that Nick had been sleeping there. “Maybe he was there.”
“Why wouldn’t he call you back?” I asked going down to Nicks room opening the door finding Nick laying on the floor. “OH MY GOD NICK!” I screamed.
Almost dropping the phone as I ran to him.
“Nat what happened?” Brian asked me.
“Nicks... he’s .... on the floor... HELP!” I cried into the phone crying trying to wake up Nick. “Come on Nick wake up.” I said.
“Nat, I’m going to call 911 you stay there with him, I’ll be over in a minute.”
“Alright.” I said hanging up and staying by Nick..
