Addicted ~ Nate Jacobs

Chapter Fifty-Four

This isn't the greatest chapter....but a necessary one in a way!! I'll hopefully have another chapter up on Friday! Enjoy xo

Maddy practically forced Sophie to eat the next morning since she was so anxious. All night she worried. About Nate. About what actually happened at the New Year's party. About every little thing. And nothing made her more anxious than Marsha calling her.

"What if something is wrong?"

"Sophie, you've been worried all night, so answer the fucking phone."

Sophie hesitated before answering, "Hello?"

"Morning honey." Marsha replied.

"Is something wrong? Is Nate, uh-"

"No, everything's fine. Um, he's awake."

"He's awake?" Sophie exclaimed with a smile.

Marsha laughed slightly, "Yes he's awake and he's asking for you!"

"Oh my god, really? Okay, I'll be there as soon as I can."

"Okay. Okay, I'll tell him."

"See you guys soon. Thanks Marsha."

"Okay, see you soon. Bye." Marsha said before Sophie ended the call.

"So, good news I assume? You said he was awake." Maddy asked, looking at Sophie.

"Yeah, Marsha said he was."

"Good, that's good." Maddy said as she chewed her lip, "Have you heard from Lexi?"

Sophie cleared her throat, "No, uh, I haven't. Why? Have you?"

"Nothing."

"Oh, uh, okay." Sophie said, grabbing her purse, "Are you good to go?"

Maddy nodded and the two girls quickly hopped into her car. Sophie dropped Maddy off at her house, thanking her for everything she had done in the last 12 hours and then she headed off to the hospital. As she parked, she looked over her shoulder to see if there was any sign of blood anywhere. And she didn't see anything, but then again, her seats were black so it was hard to tell. She knew she was going to have to clean it out eventually, as she didn't really want Nate's blood to soil her seats.

She walked in the hospital with confidence and happiness. She was glad that he was awake. She didn't want to bring up her suspicions. It was too soon and she just wanted to enjoy this time with him. Once he was out of the hospital, and healed, she would corner him. And if she couldn't get anything out of him, she knew one person who can.

The door to his room was shut and she opened it gently, walking in afterwards, "Nate?"

She saw him laying in the bed, and she could make out his chocolate eyes through all the bruising and swelling.

"Nate!"

Excitement ran through her body as she rushed over to him.

"I'm here."

And her lips curled up into a smile at the same time his did.

"Come sit." Nate said as he shifted over slowly.

Sophie hesitated before climbing into the hospital bed with him. He opened his arms as she fell into them.

"I'm so glad that you're okay. I was really worried." Sophie said, sniffling slightly.

"You don't have to worry about me, Soph. I'm fine, really, a bit bruised, but other than that, I'm totally fine."

"Did you tell your parents who did it?"
