Why are you only a Jerk to me?

Why are you only a Jerk to me? Chapter 9

Chapter 9: Telling more secrets.

Heather's POV:

Nathan: I'll be over in ten!

Me: Okay.

I told Nathan that since he told me more about his dad and what had happened and his mom story and all. And that Angie is only his half-sister. He was embarrassed to tell me about his family. He thought I would judge him. Want to the best part about everything? He didn't even ask about my life. I guess he was waiting until I opened up to him.

I never take anyone to my mom's grave. Not if Wesley or Keaton are allowed to come with me. Because it's me and my mom's one on one time were we catch up. But I always told mom I promise her I'll bring my first friend to see her. And plus Nathan seems trust worthy. I didn't wear any make up because I know I'm going to end up crying.

I walked down stairs and sat on the bottom of the steps waiting for Nathan.

"Where you going?" Wes asked me.

"Waiting for Nathan." I told him.

"Woah zombies are real!" Drew said. I just ignored him and flipped him the bird.

"I know but where?" Wes said wanting to know where we were going.

"To my mom's grave." I said. I saw anger flash in Wes eyes. I don't blame him. He always asks to go but I never let him. I always tell him to go alone and without me. Wes walked out of the room and Drew just looked at me.

"So you'd take a guy you only knew for a month to your mom's grave but not your cousin you've lived with your whole life?" Drew said to me trying not to sound angry but I can hear it.

"I bet you like Nathan and want to date him and only want your boyfriend to see your mom." He kept talking.

"Nathan is not my boyfriend." I simply stated.

Next thing I know I heard a knock on the door. I got up and told Nathan to go. I didn't want to be here any longer. When I told him to go the grave yard he looked at me weird. I had flowers I bought earlier for my mom. When we parked I walked out the car.

"Follow me." I told him weakly and started walking towards my mom's grave. He didn't say anything but followed me. When we got to the grave I got on my knees and moved the leaves off her grave and took the flowers that I had left from the last time I was here. I put the flowers on my moms grave.

"Hi mom, remember when I told you when I make a true honest friend who I think will keep a friendship forever. One that the person isn't using me because of the boys? Well I made a friend at the camp I told you I was going to. I brought him here for you to meet him." I told her and then I felt Nathan kneel next to me.

"Nice to meet you Miss. Jordan. I'm Nathan." He said. And I felt my heart smile. He was talking to her like she was there. Like the way I talk to her.

I then turned my body and looked at him.

"My mom passed away when I was two years old. I don't know anything about my dad. My mom never told anyone or anything about my dad that's why my aunt doesn't know anything about him. When she died I was shipped to Washington DC to leave with my aunt and cousins. We moved out here a couple years ago. I always come here at least once a month to catch her up on my life." I told him as I closed my eyes and I felt his arm wrap around me and he pulled me into his lap.

"I just always wonder that if she never passed away if I would have friends instead of being used for the boys. Or if I wouldn't have met Drew and have been bullied by him 'til this day. Don't get me wrong I am happy and love my life most of the time. But I can't help but wonder if I would be happier and love life more with her around." I said and looked at my mom's grave once more.
