Summer Relations

Chapter 8

School started again. Turns out Uncle Albert found out while I was gone that is wife isn't dead, she's very much alive and she left because she was pregnant with his child.

I guess he took it out on me.

I'm not mad at him.

He's fighting for me to come back and he's thinking about going to the government.

School sucks. Everyone hates me now because of Nate.

I have no friends.

The guys are my best friends, and Olivia. Spencer and I are doing long distance, and struggling.

It's Christmas Break and Spencer is on a plane here. Uncle Albert is here, and I'm going to break up with Spencer.

Nervous, I was to the park a few miles down the road.

I sit on a bench for hours and let the cold snow fall around me.

"Long time no see." Spencer says, sitting down next to me.

Uncle Albert already got him a ticket home.

I smile softly.

This is the first time I've seen him since the first date.

Since then, we haven't gotten into one fight, and I've fallen in love with him.

But I have to let him go. Olivia tells me he gets hit on all the time.

He hands me a bouquet of roses and my heart breaks.

"Spencer, I know this is really shitty, but I can't do this." I stand up. He shoves his hands in his pockets and closes his eyes.

"I knew you were going to say that."

'I can't." I whisper. "There's just...there's so much shit happening and I'm going through a lot, as you know and I'm being bullied and I really don't want to hold you back."

"You don't hold me back. You push me forward."

"You'll be okay. I'm scared we're going to be like Uncle Albert and his wife."

He sighs.

"There's nothing I can do to change your mind?" he whispers.

"No." I mumble.

He looks down at the snow, and then back into my eyes.

"Okay." He whispers. "I understand." He says. "But since I know you're making the wrong decision, I'm never going to be with anyone else. I'll wait forever."

"Don't." I whisper. "Please don't wait around for me."

"Too late." He gives me a sad smile. "Goodbye, Natalie."

"Bye." I whisper.

He turns around and walks away.
