Truth or Dare

Chapter 20

The video collage showed pictures of us kissing at a party, cooking, dinner dates, and so much more stuff like fairs and etc.
'Happy birthday to an amazing, beautiful girl @nataliegrier. I guess I have to start with this. I'm sorry, I miss you and I care about you and I want you to come back to California right now. I miss cuddling with you in your bed and me coming over in the middle of the night with loads of food. I miss you more than words could ever explain and I just want you to be in my arms. I'm sorry i screwed up. (Guys I cheated on her at a party and I was drunk. Forgive me please) I haven't been normal since you left I've been crying and hurting and locked myself in my room. I remember when I first met you I got mad all the other boys thought that you were hot and I wanted you all to myself. I love you so much no matter what and words can't explain. Please call me and come back to me because I need you more than anything baby😭😨❤️😭'

I showed Jake and Gaby the paragraph and I was well already crying.

Jake was hugging me and Gaby was just saying everything was going to be okay.

"Call him" Gaby said.

"you should" Jake said.

I dialed Matthews number and put it on speaker.

"Hello" he said.

"Matthew" I said quietly.

"Natalie I miss you" He cried through the phone.

"I miss you to, I can't do this. Cheating is the next level." I said.

"Natalie, I'm sorry." he said sincerely.

I hung up because I couldn't talk.

"Forget about him till you go back to California" Gaby said.

I checked the rest of my instagram feed and I had a baby picture with Nash posted and it said
'happy birthday to an amazing sister... I know I'm mean to you alot but I still love you'
Hayes posted a really ugly picture of me and captioned it
'😊cute pic right? anyways happy birthday loser!!! So happy your in North Carolina now even though I miss Nash😁😁'
Taylor and Carter posted a picture of me sitting in Taylor's Porsche.
'Happy birthday to this little jit that became a sister to me... when you come back your making me food'

A couple more of the boys did little post but they were nice.

"Honey we have a surprise for you" My mom came in my room and said.

"ok" i said blankly.

All the sudden Ava showed up in my room with the rest of the boys behind her.

"happy birthday babeee" she screamed.

I ran and hugged her.

I saw Matthew's face and just played it off cool.
"Hey guys" I said and hugged them all. I know Matthew wants to be more than friends but I will only be friends. I can't deal with him right now.

•Gaby's point of view•
Honestly I don't like Ava that much. She's stealing my bestfriend which isn't ok. Well I know they live together and actually in the same state but still.
I saw Taylor look at me and when we both made eye contact he winked at me. I smiled and looked down.

"Birthday dinner tonight?" Nila chimed in and asked.

"Yeah lets go for Hibachi!" I squealed.

"Sounds good. Did you introduce them to Jake?" Nila asked me.

"Not yet" I said wanting Nila to get out. She walked out and I sat down on my bed.
"Guys this is Jake. Jake this is Cameron, Nash, Hayes, Taylor, Carter, Shawn, Kian, Aaron, Jack, Jack G, and Jacob"
jake knew of Nash and Hayes because they are my brothers but he never met them.
they all exchanged hi's and than we started to settle down.
"natalie can i talk to you?" Matthew asked.
"Yeah" I nodded.
We walked out of my room and downstairs towards the porch.

"Natalie, I wanna know where we stand" Matt said.
"I wanna be friends" I said.
"I know I screwed up and I respect what your opinion" Matthew said.
I hugged him.
A tear shed from my eye.
