In Love with a Kidnapper - Episode 10

 

” Sorry” Nathan whispered in my ear.
I instantly ducked down for cover, hoping I would be able to dodge a fired bullet. I awaited the pain that Nathan was going to spring at me. Inside of me, I wanted all this drama to end. The kidnapping, the blackmail, my father that trying to kill me, and even Nathan; whom I love. The other me didn’t want to get killed.
A bashful of colours swayed under my eyelids – something you would usually get when light shines near your eyes . Was I already in heaven ?
I opened my eyes, Nathans face appeared in front of me. I stumbled backwards. Nathan looked shocked. I examined him and what he was holding. What I had expected was either a gun or a knife or some sort of murder weapon. Instead, in his hands was a bouquet of red roses.
I scanned what room I was in this time. The room was rounded like the other secret rooms I had been in. However, this was more larger. The ceiling was a blocked glass roof, with little light showing. The light shined in the middle; where Nathan was standing. He looked like an angel. Surrounding him was a garden. He gave me a concerned look.
” Kim? Whats wrong? You look pale,” his voice began to softened. His face dropped into depression

. Knowing why I had ducked.
” You heard about the unpleasant news, this morning, didn’t you?”
” About the party? Of course I did! However I don’t find parties unpleasant,” I lied, giving a fake laugh. His face turned serious.
” Stop lying!” He yelled. ” I know that your hurting inside, Kim! As a bastard my father may be, he won’t send me to kill you!” He turned his face to the side. “Kim, you and I both know that your father is trying to kill you ” his voice softened. ” You should stay here.”
I clenched my fist as my uncontrolled emotions took over.” Stop acting like you know everything! You jerk! You don’t understand how I feel!” I screamed. I started bursting into tears. I raised my hand at the jerk who I loved, but he already grabbed my hands before I could swing. The roses he held scattered around the floor. I struggled to break free. But my body felt weak. Tears kept forming and trickled down my face. I looked at the ground.
Nathan pulled me in closer to his chest and hugged me tightly. The tears that I created were dropping onto his shirt. I couldn’t believe that I am crying in front of Nathan. It felt awkward but why is he doing this? What does he know about my father? I wrapped my arms around him, and more tears freely scattered out of my eyes.
” It’s okay, I’m here,” he whispered, his voice was soft. But in an bothered way. Was he thinking of something unpleasant? ” I’ll always protect you Kim,” He whispered as he tightened his grip. ” Don’t ever think that I will try and kill you.”…
Should I really believe him?
I looked at the ground where the roses where scattered. The petals were all scattered. There laid a small pink card on the ground.
My eyes widened, as I tried focusing on the card. Nathan looked at my direction and let go of me. He bent down and tried picking up the remaining roses. Along with the card. At that moment he walked towards me, smiling in his usual cute way. He attempted to bunch up the roses in a formal way. I giggled as he struggled. He gave me a funny pout look.
He handed me 12 roses. I touched the one that stood out the most – it was a fake rose. The card was stuffed at the top as it read:
Happy Belated Birthday Kim
I will always love you until the last rose dies.
Nathan.
My eyes widened, as I reread the card over and over. I looked at Nathan, he stood there nervous waiting for my reply.
” Nathan… this is.” Tears of happiness began forming around my eyes. ” The most sweetest thing anyone has ever done for me.”
Nathan smiled and placed his hand on my face, wiping the small tears that ran off my face. He leaned in closer and I felt his warm lips touching mine. We stood there for a few minutes and soon he stepped back.
” Kim, I know we have been faking as girlfriend and boyfriend.” He began. “But, I don’t want to fake it anymore, I love you to much Kim. If all this nonsense ends.” He paused, trying to find the right words. ” Would you be my girlfriend?” Nathan stood still waiting for my answer. All these emotions were mixing in my mind, the only word that popped in my mind was…
” Yes,” I smiled. His face brightened and hugged me. With his usual warmth he clamed me down.
A sudden knock on the door startled me. I turned and there stood Daniel, who was leaning on the side of the door another model pose.
” Yo, just came to drop this off,” Daniel chuckled as he slid a box towards us. I scanned the box, it was a box of tampons. My eyes widened.
” Tampons…” I whispered. Nathan chuckled.
” No good? ” Daniel said curiously
” No no they are fine,” I lied, I never used those in my life.
” Then here,” Daniel sighed already knowing I was lying. He pulled something out of his pocket
“Aunt Marie gave me this when I came home with that box,”. He thew a small packet at me. Aunt marie my hero, who I never thought could be so generous, to give me a pad.
“Thanks.” I whispered as I shoved the pad in my pocket. Daniel chuckled and left the room, leaving me and Nathan alone again. I looked at his face, he was trying to hold in his laughter. I aimed to flick his forehead. Instead he had caught my arm and pulled me closer, making our lips touch. I noticed Nathan flinched – like he had remembered unpleasant again. He immediately pulled back.
” Whats wrong?” I whispered. Touching his hand, he was trembling.
” Nathan?” I grabbed onto his hand trying to ease the trembling, but it had gotten worse.
” I-I’m fine,” He whispered as he pulled his hands away. ” I just had a small unpleasant flashback that I shouldn’t have seen,” his voice lowered.
” Do you want to talk about it?” I asked quietly.
” No,” he turned his back towards me.
The way he acted reminded of myself when I was depressed. I had a small feeling that he was thinking about someone who he had lost. I wanted to relate to him.
” My grandma died on my eighth birthday,” I randomly began. He turned with a curious look. ” I still remember it now. When I was about to blow the candles on my birthday cake. A phone call rang, it said that my grandmother – who was heading to my birthday party – had died in a car accident on her way over. It was a drunken driver who was knocked unconscious and she just happened to be there at the wrong time as the car flipped. She died instantly,” my voice softened as I said those last three words. I held in the tears that were forming. He turned around. Nathans face was shocked but depressing. He sat down on the grass cross legged. I sat beside him.
” Why must you be so persistent and caring at the same time,” he sighed. I smiled. Was he finally opening up to me?
” Well what happened? Did you kill someone?” I joked, but Nathan stood silent. It was quiet.
” Nathan, did you kill someone?” I asked now anxious, hoping the answer was no.
” I don’t know how to answer that,” He replied quietly. My eyes widened.
” Do, you want to explain?” I persisted. He clenched his fist.
” No because your opinion will change on me. You will think of me as a murderer and not the Nathan you love,” His voice was saddened. He flinched as if he thought of my responses already.
” Nathan, if you had this secret hidden already and you lived through that,” I paused trying to think of the words. ” Regret. I will still love you, my opinion will never change no matter what,” I said softly. I replayed the words in my mind again, it sounded corny. Nathan looked straight at my eyes.
His green jaded eyes were empty and sad, than before where it shone beautifully. His face was still unsure.
” Please Nathan. And this time tell me the actually story,” I begged, remembering the garden moment. He sighed. I finally broke him down. I sat still waiting for the story. Deep down I was scared. In my mind I questioned myself. ” He is about to tell me that he had killed someone and I was just going to sit back and listen? Yeah that was about it.” I felt like an idiot.
” I was about ten. That time my mom was still alive and that demon didn’t come to our lives.” He paused hoping to know what he meant by demon. I nodded, already aware he was referring to Daniel.
” My parents fought daily. During those times Cole and I would hide in this room, it was the only place where their voices wouldn’t reach. This was our secret place.” He stopped awaiting my question.
” What were your parents fighting about,” I asked. I am too predictable.
“My father was a pimp practically. My mom always knew from the start when he come home late smelling like alcohol everyday. She always questioned herself if she married the same old person from the start. She would keep it bottled up, this regret.” He paused. “One day he came home late with the police. Apparently he was so drunk that he tried raping two high school girls. My mom was furious, that night she was screaming and crying for hours. Cole didn’t want to hear it anymore so I took him to the secret room. I left him there alone as I went to go and check out on what was going on.” He flinched. The unpleasant part was next. ” My mom had kept it a secret for many years about my father being in the drug dealing business. In that fight, she warned my father that she would tell the police. That made my father feel threatened. At that moment my dad took out a gun and pointed it at my mom. He threatened her that he wouldn’t hesitate to kill her if she told. My mom stayed silent after that,” he stopped.
“How does this relate to you?” I whispered, still anxious to know what happened next.
” My father sent people to watch her movements twenty-four seven. She was like a manikin and he was controlling the strings. She kept this all a secret and so did I. If I had made a move then I would be not only putting myself but Cole in danger. Then one day, my father called me into his office and handed me a gun. He wanted me to do the dirty work without getting his hand dirty,” He flinched. My eyes widened. My body felt tense, if he followed the order to kill his own mother than he would be able to follow the order to kill me.
” So you just did what he asked you to?!” I said shocked.
” No,” He whispered. I felt relieved.” That very night I called my mom to this room, the guards didn’t follow because they thought I was going to kill her. At that moment was my chance. I confessed that I knew everything, and that I was ordered to kill her, I showed her the gun to prove it. The first thing that my mom did, was walk up to me and held my hands to stop me from trembling.” My eyes widened. I had repeated the same action as his mother, instead of making him feel better I had made it worse.
” She formed my hands around the gun and knelt down to my height with the gun – that was pointing at her chest.” His voice croaked. He began again while resisting the tears that formed around his eyes.
“She told me not to carry a regret, and that she is sorry for everything that has happened. However, sorry didn’t mean anything in that case. She pulled the trigger with my own little hands and immediately she was on the ground. Her blood was everywhere…she was…” He stopped, his voice trembled. I hugged him tightly.
” Nathan.” I whispered. At the moment I started to cry. He embraced me tightly as if we were sharing the same pain.
” It wasn’t your fault,” I cried.
” Yes it was! If I hadn’t confessed. If I hadn’t taken the gun from my father. If I hadn’t shown her the gun, none of that.. none of that would have happened,” He whispered, his voice was in pain.
” Nathan, your mother’s dying wish was for you not to regret that incident. You had carried this regret like your mother. Who carried the regret about your father. Nathan if your going to carry this regret for your whole life, please share it with me. I can’t forgive myself if your in pain and I can’t do anything to help,” I whispered. He tightened his grip. ” I want to be with you Nathan, I love you no matter what.”
Nathan pulled me in closer giving me a kiss on the forehead. He gently pulled me back where I saw his jade green eyes again, they were empty with sadness but this time with a little hope. He pulled me in closer and our warm lips touched once again.
The next morning I woke up to Nathans usual angel face smile. Waking up to Nathans smile had never been so great. He looked like he recovered from what happened last night. I was happy to see that Nathan was slowly opening up to me. He gentle touched my face and gave me a small peck on my forehead. I blushed. As always a knock came at the door interrupting the moment.
” Hey Nathan. We have to prepare for the party, so get your lazy ass off the bed and come and help. Oh, and hi Kim.” A usual voice echoed on the other side of the door – it was Cole. Nathan chuckled. He threw the blanket towards me as he got off the bed. I laughed as I threw a pillow at him. It was a direct hit, at his angel like face, I couldn’t help but laugh. Nathan sighed. “This is going to take me a while before I could get this mess.” He complained. As he pointed at the disarranged mess on his head. He began shuffling through his closet and only found a navy blue shirt to cover his shirtless self.
I walked out the door, and as usual Cole laid on the side of the wall waiting for us. He smiled as he saw my face. Then he started laughing at my hair – that happened to be sticking out in different directions.
” Hope you can untangle those before the party. Otherwise you will be the ‘eye popping’ person in the whole room,” He chuckled making a face like someone had just poked him in the eye.
” Ha – ha.” I said unamused. ” At least its better than Nathans.” I mumbled. As I tried untangling my hair with my fingers.
” Yeah right,” a voice cuddled behind me – Nathan. ” With your hair still chaotic, you still look beautiful to me.” He whispered in alluring tone behind me ear. He turned my head so he could give me a kiss on the lips. In the corner of my eye, I saw Cole look the other direction. Was he still angry?
” Save it for the party you love-birds.” Daniels voice echoed down the hall. Nathan and I immediately broke away. I tried ignoring the jealous vibe that was coming from Cole. Daniel reached up to us and laughed.
” Better get ready before Aunt Marie screams at you and your monstrous hairdo’s” Daniel chuckled. He took a small glance at me. ” Oh yeah Kim. You, me and Auntie Marie are going to go shopping for your dress and crap,” He smiled. Great I’m going shopping with the wicked witch of the west and her little sidekick – Boy who flips girls to their doom. Cole and Nathan chuckled as if they knew what I was thinking. I held my laughter in, only leaving a huge smile on my face. Daniel looked unamused.
” You need protection Kim. Don’t you remember what happened at the bank?” Daniels voice was serious. Nathan flinched.
” That was one time!” I complained.
” And it could have been your last time if you hadn’t gone out on your little date,” He glared at Nathan. Nathan growled.
” If you hadn’t put those traps up then we would have not gotten in so much trouble,” I defended.
” You mean, If you had of taken cooking lessons from your mom like any regular girl. You wouldn’t have made such a mess in the house.” Daniel corrected. I growled.
” Wait.” Cole eyes widened. ” That monstrosity mess I had to clean, was
YOUR FAULT ?!” Cole complained. I gave him a weird look. ” Nathan told me Poe did it!” Cole barked. He immediately turned at Nathan – who was laughing like a mad man.
” You actually believe that a cat – a creature without thumbs or fingers for the matter – could put rice into a machine and turn the machine on, by pressing random buttons?” Nathan laughed. I laughed along. That is exactly what I had done.
” Why can’t Nathan come then?” I said changing back to the argument.
” Because, knowing him he would sacrifice his life just to save you.” Daniel glared, ” You need protection, not a sacrifice. End of story, so get ready princess.” Daniel pulled me towards my old room, he gave Nathan a sharp look and nodded. Nathans face turned angry. Was there more to this story than what Daniel had told me?
-[ At the mall with the wicked witch Aunt Marie]
The few things I didn’t expect was that Aunt Marie didn’t have any fashion sense. Also I didn’t think she knew how to shop. Apparently I was wrong. We stopped at a small boutique that sold formal dresses. For a few hours I have been zooming in and out trying on dresses. For once I was actually bonding with Aunt Marie. As for Daniel he got tried of watching me zoom in and out of the change room and soon dozed off on the side bench. After some time, I picked out this strapless length purple dress. It was layered in different shades. Flowers were at the top of the dress that bunched up in a cute but formal way. It was about knee length with some satin fabric. After we had bought a strapped pair of black high heels that were very uncomfortable. I struggled to keep my balanced. Aunt Marie laughed at my pain, so much for bonding.
I ditched Aunt Marie a few minutes later after I had bought all my stuff. I found Daniel sleeping on the bench like it was his bed. What had caught my attention was that there was a drawn moustache on his face. I laughed. Daniel immediately woke up as I walked closer to him.
” Yo,” he yawned. ” Are you guys done?”
I shook my head, I couldn’t say anything, my eyes were locked on the moustache.
” What?” He questioned. I started laughing.
” Is there something on my face?” He asked, placing his hands on his face trying to find it. It made me laugh more.
” N-n-n- o” I stuttered, trying to hold in the laughter. Behind me Aunt Marie came back.
” Daniel! Why the hell do you have a moustache on your face!” Aunt Marie shouted. In the corner of my eye I saw a few people at the area turned there faces then turn back laughing.
” What?!” he exclaimed. He covered his mouth with his hand and immediately glared at me. I chuckled.
” Why don’t you two find a washroom or fountain where you can wash that nonsense off while I go into that little shop over there,” Aunt Marie suggested and already escaped to the shop before we could say anything. Daniel grabbed my hand and was already dragging me to the nearest fountain. He still had his hand covering his mouth, the people we passed stared curiously. I looked down embarrassed.
” Why are you so embarrassed about, your not the one with the playful french moustache,” Daniel complained already observing my action.
” You make it sound like I did it,” I argued.
” Well did you?!” Daniels voice got a little louder, he was pissed.
” No! When I found you sleeping you had that one your face! I swear!” I shouted back.
” Sure,” he said sarcastically. He didn’t believe me. He turned on the fountain and aimlessly tried wiping away the moustache. I stood back observing him fail.
” Is it gone?” He asked showing me his face up close. The black outline was gone but his whole face was red. I laughed. He sighed.
” Yup its gone,” I smiled.
“So, you excited that your going back home?” He asked ignoring my laughter and washed his face again.
“I guess,” I said in a disappointed way.
I felt betrayed in my family. I didn’t fully believe my father was coming to save me. All this pressure started coming to my head. How was I going to live my life after this experience? How can I just leave Nathan? Will I ever see them again?
My face dropped into depression.
” Hey don’t get all upset around me! Sob around your lover,” He chuckled but acted sincere. I pouted.
” I’m hungry can we get something to eat?” I exclaimed changing the subject. Daniel blinked and sighed.
” You make it sound like we are on a date,” He sighed.
” Well it’s your fault for dragging me to this place, I didn’t even want to dress up to a party with a bunch of strangers! I’d rather hide in my room till this is over,” I complained. Daniel laughed.
” Whats so funny?” I said curiously.
” Nothing, I just remembered the guest list in the party,” He chuckled. I felt confused.
” This makes it funny because..?” I trailed off.
” Because Lucy is coming to the party. If you hid in your room, she would have her little filthy hands on Nathan,” He laughed. I felt jealousy run up my veins. Daniel was teasing me on something that I didn’t know but something that had Nathan feel so closed. I acted like I didn’t know what he was talking about.
” Whose Lucy exactly?” I asked curiously acting like an idiot. Daniels face went awkward.
” Don’t try to squeeze your way in the story, Nathan will tell you when he’s ready,” Daniel chuckled. I sighed. So much for trying to hear Nathans life story again.
– [ Back at home … and the party]
I slipped on the high heels Aunt Marie had bought for me, I stumbled backwards. My hair swayed downward as someone caught me from behind.”Are you going to be okay in those?” Nathan whispered behind me. I nodded but I was unsure. I heard the doorbell ring and by that second I heard screaming and greetings. I felt nervous going down there.
” Can’t we just just stay up here,” I complained as I tried nosing my way out of this situation. Nathan chuckled.
” Sadly we can’t, if we try to escape Aunt Marie will hunt us down,” Nathan chuckled.
” Like that old hag can find us!” I lowered my voice. Footsteps were echoing outside the door.
” Nope but Daniel can,” Nathan sighed. Damm when I thought I could escape from this problem.I took a few steps attempting to keep my balance. I turned slowly at Nathans face. He chuckled.
” And what if I fall? I can’t even walk in these shoes!” I persisted giving the idea that we should still hide up here.
” Kim, you will be fine, I’ll hold onto you every step of the way,” He smiled. He walked closer and wrapped his hand around my head pulling me in to give a gentle kiss. He pulled me gently away and opened the door in a gentlemen like way. I blushed.
We walked outside by the time I got to the stairs Nathan held me tighter. My stomach turned, I was dead nervous. What made it worse was that when I took my first step on the staircase Daniel had made a random comment.
” Ah! Its about time the beautiful lady got here. I can finally see you more clearly now that Nathan got his hands off you,” Daniel shouted at the bottom of the staircase. Nathan gave a cold look to Daniel. All eyes turned onto us. I closed my eyes hoping that didn’t just happen. Dammit Daniel why did you have to do that!
As we walked down the stairs I heard mumbles and whispers pass by me. I felt like I was going to barf.
” Kim calm down, I’m right here,” Nathan whispered slowly. I nodded. I felt like I was on a slow motion cat walk, where everything was going too slow you get uncomfortable from everyone eyes. When we reached to the bottom of the staircase, Daniel and Cole were anxiously waiting for us on the side. I tried ignoring the staring coming from the other guest.
” Couldn’t keep my hands off her you say?” Nathan whispered to Daniel in a cold voice. Daniel gave a light chukle.
“Just trying to help you get noticed in the party,” He smiled innocently. I mumbled under my voice calling him an ass. Cole chuckled and came up to me.
” Don’t mind him Kim, you won’t be seeing him much through the party.” Cole smiled. What was that suppose to mean?
Soon a voice called towards us. I turned it was Peter he was in a dress shirt with a black tie with faded black jeans. He waved towards us – well towards Daniel. I smiled and waved back. Peter reached up to us and I saw his hair was all combed and perfect with his mysterious grey eyes popping from his face. He looked gorgeous.
He gave a faint smile towards me and went closer to Daniel and whispered to him quietly. Daniel nodded and smiled. Peter’s face brightened up and gave a small peck on Daniels lips. I stood there clueless as my brain attempted to process what had just happened. “Don’t tell me that Daniel and Peter are together. Weren’t they cousins?” I thought to myself awkwardly. I turned to Nathan giving him a sharp look. He already knew what I was thinking. He ignored my stare and wrapped his arm around my waist and brought me closer to his chest. I felt sudden sharp glares staring at me. I pushed back from Nathan.
” Uh.. I’m hungry lets go eat already,” I whispered hoping to get out of the hallway full of glaring strangers. Nathan chuckled and we started walking. For every few steps random people had come up to Nathan and greet him. He looked like a celebrity and I was just his pet who strolled behind. Some were pretty rude and gave me dirty looks. The others would introduce themselves as I was part of the family. I liked them more.
Nathan took me downstairs to a large spacious room. It reminded me of the gym I was in with Cole, except five times larger. Inside the room had long tables on the side, with food – Junk food. Around the other walls was Games that you can find in an movie arcade – such as DDR and Guitar hero and air hockey. I dash immediately to the DDR machine. I love DDR!
” Lets play!” I said excitedly.
” Alright, but I’m pro at this,” Nathan smirked. ” Just because your my girlfriend, doesn’t mean I will go easy on you,”
” Who said I needed the handicap,” I smiled. I threw off the torture high heels. I sighed in relief.
After a few minutes and endless stomping. I had won ten rounds out of fifty. Nathan smirked at his winning victory.
” Well I guess if you look like a loser, you are one,” a random voice called in the background
” Shut up Nathan. Be nice to your girl,” I joked but then I noticed it wasn’t Nathan who hadn’t made that insult. I looked at Nathan, he was dead frozen in shock. Only one word came out of his mouth.
” Lucy,” He whispered. I instantly tuned to the direction he was facing.
At the door was a human faced barbie. She had long dirty blonde hair and was practically beautiful in every way. She wore a pink tube dress that thigh length. Her eyes were misty green and stood out the most. Her beauty made me a bit jealous. She walked closer up to us. She walked a to close to Nathan, ignoring my existence.
” Nathan its been a while!” She smiled wrapping her arms around Nathans neck and placing her entire body onto Nathans chest. Nathan face dropped down. I can see Nathan trying to push her away but she was a little to clingy. I stood in the background looking helplessly. Lucy was seducing Nathan while I was in the background doing nothing…
” Yeah,” Nathans voice was shaking. He pushed Lucy away and walked behind me.
Yes you finally got Medusa out of your hands.
Nathans hands wrapped around my waist tugging me to his side. Lucy’s eyes was filled with jealousy.
” Lucy, meet Kim. My girlfriend,” Nathan glared recovering from the attack that Lucy gave him. She instantly gave dirty painful looks at me. I gave a slight smile.
” I see,” She walked up closer to me. I walked towards her also. It was like a western showdown. I could hear the music playing now.
” Well listen here you little prick, you should start ditching Nathan before it gets to deep,” Lucy smirked. ” You don’t want to see my ugly side,” she snarled.
” Really? Could have fooled me. Looks like you beat me to it,” I smiled. Around me I heard a crowd of people laugh as they listened to our conversation. Even Nathan was laughing. Lucy was pissed. Was that my doing? Good cause she deserved it.
” Just know what your doing,” Lucy smirked. ” There are somethings that you don’t know about Nathan but I do,” She smiled and walked off. Bitch. What did she mean by that?
I turned towards Nathan who was shocked with my comfrontion with Lucy. I ignored what Lucy had said and smiled.
” Why don’t we just forget what had happened and lets go outside to the dance party?” I smiled. His face brightened and nodded. My heart was still pumping in panic still trying to process the fact that I stood up to Lucy.
Outside in the garden was where the dance party was held. It had small lanterns hanging on the side and lots of people were scattered around the entire garden. How many people does Aunt Marie know?
” Wow,” I said, it was the only word that came out of my mouth. The place was beautiful.
” Yeah, it took me forever to do all this,” Nathan sighed.
” You mean, It took Cole forever to do this while ‘I’ was sitting on the side sleeping,” A voice mimicked from behind – Cole. Nathan growled. “So much for taking all the credit.”
” Cole!” I shouted giving him a hug, he blushed. ” Yeah… ” Cole trailed off turning his face to the side. Awkwardness.
I let go and smiled.
” Yo Kim~” A voice shouted on my left side. I turned to the side and it was Dylan. He wore a black dress shirt with a loose tie hanging with faded baggy jeans. He rushed towards us and his face was pinkish.
” Oohh yeah Kimm~” his face was slurred. ” Could you fetch my coat in the coat room? Its going to get chilly later,” He smiled.
” She isn’t your maid Dylan,” Cole growled and Nathan agreed along with Cole.
” I know but I’m drunk right now,” Dylan complained. ” Besides don’t you need to give ‘that’ to Nathan?” Dylan hinted me about the picture he took. My eyes widened, I completely forgot about the picture. I wanted to show Nathan it.
” Oh right! One coat coming up,” I smiled. Nathan gave me a curious look. ” Don’t worry I won’t be long,” I smiled.
I started speed walking towards the door, Lucy brushed right past me and gave me a small smirk. She started walking towards Nathan. I wanted to bitch slap her and warn her to stay away from him. But Nathan can take care of himself.. right?
I walked towards the coat closet. I heard some muffling and shuffling on the other side. Maybe a couple? I random knocked.
” Sorry I just have to fetch a coat,” I said. I felt like an idiot. What if there wasn’t anyone in there? I would be talking to myself.
I barged in and my eyes burned instantly.
” Uh… Hey Kim…” Daniel began. I blinked a few times trying to process what I had seen. In front of me was Daniel with an unbuttoned dress shirt – but still with pants, thank god – was on top of Peter who was too shirtless. Peter looked at me and looked at the other way embarrassed.
” Sorry if I bothered you.. two,” I stuttered and tried finding Dylan coat as quick as I can. I instantly grabbed the one Dylan would wear and ran out the door. I opened it again and they were still in the same position.
” You guys should find a more private room…” I chuckled and closed the door. The coat I held was Dylans – Thank god I didn’t have to go back in there. In the inside pocket was the same picture Dylan had given me. Did he go through my stuff just to find it… I shook away the thoughts of what he was doing with my clothes.
I opened the folded picture and I smiled happily of the scene where me and Nathan first kissed. I held the picture to my heart. I felt uneasy, I thought of the words you told me when we were in that room. All of this nonsense ending… I hope that all this nonsense ends so we can be together.
I walked back to the garden. The place was twice as crowded as it was before. I tried looking for Nathan but he was no where in sight. Cole was in the corner with three girls flirting around him, his face brightened as he saw me. He ran towards me ditching the three girls. They gave dirty looks at me.
” Hey Kim,” Cole smiled.
” Hey…” I said still looking at the girls. Cole turned to my angle and winked at the girls, they smiled and walked off. I sighed.
” Have you seen Nathan?” I asked curiously. Coles face turned depressed.
” Last time I saw him was near the fountain with Lucy,” Cole face turned to the side. My heart sank down a bit. ” Oh okay,” I smiled hiding my depression. I ran towards the garden and I saw Nathan and Lucy talking, Nathans face was frozen. I called him out and Lucy smirked. Lucy brushed beside me and walked away. I noticed her mumble something to Nathan, ” Do it.” I looked at Nathan his face was in depression and pissed.
” What was that all about?” I questioned ignoring the awkward vibe. ” Oh yeah Nathan look!” I showed him the picture Dylan had taken and smiled. His eyes widened then went into disappointment.
” Kim,” Nathan looked the other way, he clenched his fist. My heart was starting to shake unevenly.
” What is it Nathan?” I touched his hand but he slapped it away. My eyes widened I didn’t like where this was going. People started staring.
” Sorry,” Nathans voice was low. He took the picture out of my hands and held it in front of me. ” About what? Whats going on Nathan?” I whispered.
” SHUT UP! Kim, Its over,” Nathan shouted making everyone look. I saw his eyes that were forming tears. He ripped the picture in half. My heart felt like that piece of paper that was ripped into two. Tears started forming down my eyes as I watched the picture fall into the ground. I looked back at Nathan his eyes were in pain. He turned his back and ran away.
I heard mumbles and whispers from behind, everyone was watching. I couldn’t believe my ears. I closed my eyes letting all the tears fall down. I felt a small tap going on to my head and a few more – Rain. I use to love the rain back then, so then people wouldn’t know I was crying. But in this situation everyone knew I was crying, and I couldn’t do anything about it.
I wish this could all end, I’d rather be dead…
To be continue!
