Chapter 14
“So he didn’t show up?”
“Nope.”
“I’ll beat him up for you if you want me too.”
“Yeah sure.”
Nick looked at her, she was looking out the banister looking like a hopeless child waiting for someone to come. He started to rub her back.
“Nat, come on don’t cry. It’s hard to see you crying. I’ve never really have.”
“I know I’m sorry.”
“What are you sorry for? Come here.”
She went to him and hugged him. She slowed down on crying while he was hugging her. When she stopped she looked up at Nick and said “I fell dumb.”
“Why?”
“Because you’re here with me and not with your girlfriend.”
“Actually she’s not here.”
“What do you mean?”
“She was sick so she didn’t come.”
“Oh, I’m sorry I didn’t know.”
“ I didn’t till she called me. Anyway why don’t we go get our picture taken and go home.”
“Okay.”
“How about I fix this?”
“Fix what?”
“Your hair. (Moved a piece) Okay lets go.”
“Strange, but yet I’m with you so there.’
“I love you too.”
They walked and took their picture and went outside.
“You didn’t take your car did you?” Nat asked.
“Nope, you either?”
“No, guess we have to walk.
“Alright lets go.”
They started to walk down the street of the school. The school was a mile away from Nat’s house. They were just two blocks away from the school when it started to rain. Nat wasn’t wearing a coat and on top of that she didn’t have any sleeves.
“This makes my day much better.” She said.
“Your such a baby.” Nick said taking off his coat and putting it on her shoulders. Then he whispered very softly. “But I love you anyway.”
