Stay With Me ***Now Published***

Chapter 2 Natalie

As I'm walking out the door I run into someone. I can barely even see who it is from all the tears. I finally make a face. Justin. He has his fist balled. He has seen it and probably heard it from here. I cry even harder as he puts his arms around me half walking half carrying me away from this place. As I cried on Justin shoulder he stayed rubbing my hands never making move. I see we are headed towards my dads house.
"No please my dad can't know please." I whisper
He nods turning around driving in the opposite way. My eyes began to grow heavy.
Suddenly I have awaken to Justin carrying my through this strange house. It must be his. I am to weak to even move. I look up at him seeing his eyes full of anger and worry for me. He gives me a small smile.
I wish i could smile back at him, but I cant. My heart hurts. I want this to be a dream. A horrible dream at that. Sadly it isnt. I close my eyes again falling back asleep.
When I wake up the sun is shinning and my eyes hurt. My eyes are puffy and irritated from crying. I rise up seeing some clothes on the dresser over in the corner. I look around the room seeing its a bright darkish blue with dark chest wood color furniture. There is a tv hanging on the wall with a little balcony. I rise up walking over to the clothes. Its sweatpants and a tshirt. Perfect. I dont want any other type of clothes.
I walk out of the room I'm in seeing the bathroom door open. I walk into it shutting it quietly and locking it. I turn the water on hot and just stand in it as the water burns my skin having my muscles relax. I'm not sure how long has passed when I heard foot steps approach the door. I wait a second and the footsteps walk away. The longer I sit in here the more the hot water goes out. I eventually start washing my hair and body. By the time I get out the water is ice cold. I dress in my sweatpants and tshirt. I throw my hair into a messy bun. I walk out of the bathroom putting my clothes into the room I came out of. I quietly walk into the living room seeing Justin up staring at his phone. When he looks up at me I drop my eyes to the ground immediately.
I dont even know what to say or what to think especially to Justin. He seen the video well at least heard it and I'm embarrassed. More then anything I am so damn stupid for believing that Nathan actually loved or cared about me. It was all a joke to him. Tears wield up in my eyes but I push them away. I cant cry anymore not in front of Justin.
"Um thank you for bringing me here." I finally whisper
"You are welcome Natalie. I went to Layla and got some clothes for you. I wasnt sure what you wanted, but she brought that out to me."
I nod. I stand awkwardly in the entrance of the living room when banging comes on the door. I look at Justin who looks out the window.
"Go upstairs. Just trust me."
The was my knowing that its Nate. Someone I dont want to see. I cant even think of him without seeing the video and the faces of everyone from the party last night.
I go upstairs standing out of seeing way listening to what is to come.
"Where the fuck is she?" Nate yells
"I dont know when I woke up to check on her she was already gone." Justin calmly says
"Bullshit Justin. Just tell me where the fuck Natalie is! I need to see her!"
I can bet that he is pulling his hair.
"Look man i dont know what to tell you except that you fucked up."
"YOU DONT THINK I KNOW THAT JUSTIN!? I fucking love her and now shes gone. What the fuck am I suppose to do?"
I cant hear anymore I silently walk back into the room and lock the door. I can't do this I thought I could, but I cant. More tears escape as I silently cry curling into a ball.
