my sweet kidnapper - Season 1 - 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 b-----d 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
la!d 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 a-s 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 la!d
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 sq££ze 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 a-s. 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 p---k, 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. B---h. 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 b---h 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…
