Something New//Nate Maloley Fanfic

**Nate's POV**
The guys and I head into the house to get some drinks for the girls and after a few seconds of silence Johnson says, "So....you and Bay huh?"

I reply, "I don't know man, things seem to be going well but I can't tell if I'm reading her signals right or if I'm totally off and she just wants to be friends."

Gilinsky smacks me on the back of the head and says, "Then why don't you ask her how she feels you dipshit?"

I contemplate that idea for a second then say, "What if she doesn't like me at all? It could ruin our friendship and I at least want t be her friends and oh shit I'm such a pussy, I just need to ask her right?"

The guys looked at be in bewilderment and Sam says, "That is the girliest thing I have ever heard you say. Wow Bay really does have you fucked up." Before I could react to that Johnson's girlfriend Allie walked in, he greeted her with a kiss and they walked outside to introduce her to Bay. After gathering all the drinks Gilinsky, Sam and I walk back outside and I am growing really nervous about what I'm going to say to Bay. But the thing that makes me the most nervous is the fact that Bay is gone. I quickly look around before asking Maggie, "Where's Bay?"

"I'm not sure, she walked away for a second to answer a phone call from her mom and hasn't come back since."

"Okay that's weird I'm going to go see if I can find her." Maggie gives me a reassuring nod and I walk up to the front of the house and see Bay sitting at the bottom of the driveway. A smile appears on my face but soon disappears as I see a sob shake through her body. Once I reach her, I put my hand on her back and she jumps but when she notices me her body relaxes and tries to cover up the fact that she has been crying by wiping her eyes. She fights crying by biting her lip almost to the point it bleeds and looking down at the ground. I pick her chin up with my finger and ask, "Bay what's wrong?" She shakes her head as tears start to well up in the corners of her eyes and tears begin rolling down her face. I wipe them away with my finger and she says, "It's my Dad," then sniffles, "my mom called to tell me," she lets out a sob, "he's was killed in Afghanistan. He's dead. He's gone."

A/N: Sorry this is such a short chapter and it begins a little bit of a depressing part in the book. I thought it was getting a bit too unrealistic so I though I would add in some conflict. I know I haven't updated in a minute and I'm sorry but I've had crazy writers block BUT now I have a good idea of where the story is going to go so there will be more updates VERY soon. So much love to all who have stuck with my story 💜 I started Dolan Twin and Omaha Squad Imagines that I have been working on so if you have any requests PLEASEEE message me. Again, I love you all and have a wonderful day 💖☺️
