Warzone *Nathan Sykes love story*

Chapter 2

I opened my eyes to complete darkness. I reached over to my night stand and turned on the lamp. I sat up and rubbed my eyes. I grabbed my phone which was right next to me to check the time. 9:37 PM?! Did I really sleep for that long? I only remember falling asleep around 12:30. I got up almost falling over. I always feel really weird and dizzy after taking naps. I slowly opened my door and walked down the hallway. I noticed everyones lights were off but Nathans light was still on. I slowly knocked on the door. No answer. I tried again and there was still no answer. I decided to try and go in. I gently opened the door and seeing.... No one. Where was he? I closed the door and started to make my way downstairs. No one was down here either. Then I noticed that the basement door was open alittle. I slowly walked down trying not to trip on anything. I then flicked on the light and saw no one. Weird. I looked around and still no one. I walked over to the door where all my stuff was. I opened it and the only things I saw was my piano, microphone, guitar, and my other instraments. I stood there looking at the piano. I use to play it all the time and I havent used it since I wrote that one song Note To God. Which was awhile ago. I walked over to it and sat down on the stool. Its a good thing these walls are sound proof cause I kinda want to play it. I put my hands on the keys and started playing a few notes.
Then I started singing the song...

If I wrote a Note To God...

(The song is by Jojo.. you can look it up if you want just for it to fit the story)

I really felt that song. When I was done I had to wipe away a couple of tears. I have always loved to sing but was to afraid to show everyone. One of my dreams was to become a famous singer but we all know that wont ever happen. My thoughts were interrupted by a slow clapping. I jumped in my seat and turned around to see Nathan. My eyes widened as he walked closer. He just heard me sing...
"Uhhh.." Was all I could say. He had a smile on his face.
"Your voice... its soo.....amazing" He was looking at me with a wow'd face. I looked down as I blushed like mad. I quickly turned back to the piano.
"No need to be shy about it. I didnt know you were that great of a singer." I heard him say. I then felt him sit next to me. I moved over a bit for he could have some more room.
"It wasnt my best..." Right as I said that he looked at me.
"If that wasnt your best then I would love to see it!" I kept my head down. But it didnt last for long because Nathan started playing with the keys and it scared me a bit.
"Im gonna play something if you dont mind." He said cracking his knuckles getting ready to play.
"Go ahead." And then soon I was amazed at his voice.... even though I've heard it before.

(Look up his cover of Just The Way You Are! It's amazing and it'll fit the story)

I giggled at the hand gestures he was doing. I love how he always gets into his music. The way he closes his eyes and scrunches up his face. The way he always points to nothing when hes singing. His love for singing really shows. When he finished he sat there.
"Soooo a Bruno Mars cover?" He laughed alittle.
"Yeah I was gonna sing another song but I felt this song was good enough to sing." He was still just sitting there looking down at the piano.
"Was that song for your girlfriend?" I said just to make sure he wasnt taken.
"I...uhh...dont have a girlfriend...." He sighed.
"oh....was it for someone you like?" I asked hopeing for a certain answer. He then looked up at me.
"Im not sure." He kept looking at me. Not like he always does. Not glareing. It was a nice look. A.....loving look. I was confused but I didnt let it show.
"How come you were such a jerk before?" I asked without thinking. I didnt want him to be hurt because of this question but to my surprise he just kept looking at me.
"Im not sure about that either" It seemed like that was the only thing he could say. I scrunched my eyebrows alittle bit.

*Nathan's POV*

"Im not sure about that either" I said still looking into her beautiful blue eyes. If her eyes were the ocean I would not mind drowning in them. But the truth? I did know for sure why I was acting like a jerk to her. She scrunched her eyebrows.
"Why did you take my chips?" Because I knew they were hers and wanted to get her attention.
"Because I was hungry" I lied. I didnt want to tell her the real reason why I took them. I dont know how she feels about me but I dont think she likes me because I was being a jerk. She laughed alittle. I loved her laugh. And that song it was for her. She was beautiful. But something was different. Her eyes werent just filled with beauty.....they had some....... hurt in them. She was hideing something and I wanted to know what. But I dont want to ask her about it because she would probably think im a creep trying to know her business.
"Im sorry" She said pulling me out of my thoughts. Why was she saying sorry?
"Why are you saying sorry?" Now it was me with the eyebrows scrunched.
"For insulting you with the sloth thing." I laughed alittle.
"You really think that hurts me? I get it all the time!" Its true I get it from alot of people. But it did make me feel hurt.....when she said it.
"I know but you just seemed hurt by it" I shook my head. But I had to force it. It only hurt cause she said it. I didnt want her thinking I look like a sloth.
"Nah it didnt hurt... I grew up with people calling me Sid the sloth." That made her chuckle alittle bit.
"I just wanted to make sure and I wont be calling you that again" She said in the sweetest voice. I gave her a soft smile
"Its fine and thanks I guess" I had a temptation to kiss her but I couldnt then I knew I would fall for her. Which I already am but I dont want too. Thats why I have been such a jerk. I almost kissed her before but then I managed to get my self back to reality and asked her for a sandwich. And I dont even want anyone to think I like her. I dont even want myself to know I like her. After what happened with Audrey I couldnt live with another broken heart. I couldnt trust any other girl. And thats how we got our song Warzone. I cant be a jerk to her now even though I want too. Maybe ill throw in alittle.
"So do you think we should go to bed?" She asked getting off of the stool and walking towards the door. Repeat!
"Why is it your bedtime?" I said in a little kid's voice. She turned around and looked at me. I smirked at her. She... smiled?
"No im just tired" She stood there for a minute and then walked out the door. I sighed. I waited awhile til I went back to my room. Guess I'll have to do the act tomorrow. I was walking down the hallway. But didnt noticed I completely passed my room. I was heading towards her room by accident. I would love to see how beautiful she looks while sleeping. Oh god, Nathan snap out of it!!!!!! I shook my head to get the thought of her out of my head but it stayed there like it was glued with super glue. Very super. I started walking back towards my room. The light was still on. I went to the bathroom and got dressed into my pajamaas even though they are just my boxers. I hopped in bed and closed my eyes. Tessa's face flooded my mind. I tossed and turned but then finally felt myself drift off........
