my sisters best friend;nate jacobs

chapter 9

i didn't know what i saw supposed to say.

"i like you too" i said.

honestly when i first said it,i wasn't too sure that i meant it. but the more i thought about it and replayed it in my head,the more true it became.

emma ended up coming home and they did their project. nate went home a little after they finished. didn't even get to kiss him goodbye.

after he left i took a shower. and laid in my bed. i got a text from nate.

nate jacobs-you know,i meant what i said earlier

skylar-i did too ;)

nate jacobs- good,sweet dreams
*delivered*

i woke up the next morning.

finally. it's friday. i got up and got ready.

shoes^^

i did my normal everyday makeup and straightened my hair.

me and emma left.

when we walked into the school i saw nate and maddy fighting.

it kind of made me upset. but i just shrugged it off.

when nate saw that i noticed the two of them he ran up to me. thankfully,emma was at her own locker so she didn't see him come up to me.

"skylar i swear nothing is going on between me and maddy"

i nodded my head. i didn't want to fight. but i was kind of upset. if there really wasn't anything going on then why was he getting all defensive?

i smiled and nodded my head. he probably could tell that i didn't believe a single word that just came out of his mouth but he didn't say anything.

luckily for me,the bell rang so i walked away from him and went to class.

end of the day...

emma had already dropped me off at home but she left to go back to the school for practice.

i decided to go for a run to get my mind off of nate. but believe it or not,the run made it worse.

i was jogging down the sidewalk and i saw a truck driving towards me. looked like nate's.
i looked more and could see that maddy was in his truck. i stopped running and just stood there. i'm pretty sure he saw me standing there with tears running down my face. right now might be a good time to mention, maddy lives right down the street from me. he turned his truck down her street. i turned around and ran back to my house with tears running down my face.

as soon as i got into the house i slammed the door shut and sat on the couch. but after
30 seconds of being home,i heard a car door shut. or i should say, a truck door. and then i heard my front door open.

i looked up. it was nate. what the fuck.

he looked at me and i looked down. i already know i'm not gonna win this fight.

"are you actually fucking crying right now"
he asked.
i looked up at him and raised my eyebrows
he obnoxiously scoffed.
"you don't get to be mad. especially because you were just running half naked"

i looked down at my outfit.  i was in a sports bra and leggings. i always run in this type of outfit.

he walked closer to me. and grabbed onto my wrist. i stood up. he started squeezing my wrist harder and harder. "nate you're hurting me" i wined. he didn't move. "nate" i cried. he just kept looking at me.

eventually he let up. i held my wrist. and looked down. "i'm sorry" he said in a soft voice.

i looked up at him. his eyes looked sad. "it's okay" i said.

he kissed me.
