My Best Friend's Brother

Chapter 6

I woke up the next morning with a headache and a lack of memory from last night. I opened my eyes and it was safe to say I was not in Natalie's room.

I saw the dark navy curtains and the mahogany desk with the Mac sitting on top. I saw the massive piles of clothes on the floor and the red white and blue bed spread over my body. I felt a big, muscular arm around my small torso.

I'm in Nate's bed.

How I got here? I have absolutely no clue. The last thing I remember is shoving Natalie to the side of her bed so I could fit in.

I tried getting out of bed, but Nate's arm only tightened and I felt his fingers dig into my side and tickle which made me laugh.

"Oh, you're still here." Nate didn't exactly seem as phased as I was that I was in his bed.

"How did I get here exactly?"

"You just came in during the middle of the night."

"That's the strangest thing I've ever done." I suddenly felt very... exposed. I was only in my tshirt and panties. That's it. I felt my cheeks heat up and I was really embarrassed.

"You're as red as a tomato right now and it's the funniest thing I've ever seen." He smiled at how embarrassed I was.

I was about to get out of his bed when Natalie came in.

"Nate have you seen-" she stopped mid sentence when she saw us in bed together. My face turned a deep Crimson.

"Have I seen what?" He knew what she asking.

"I was going to as if you've seen Elena, but it seems like you found her." She looked at me like she found me with one hand in the cookie jar.

"Natalie, it's not what it looks like I swear."

"Oh please, I know you would never sleep with my whore of a brother." Nate laughed at his sisters remark.

"Hey, I'm not that bad. Im pretty cool."

"Oh please, says the boy who wet his bed until he was 10!" I started laughing and Nate was the one turning red.

"That was one time!" I got out of his bed, still laughing a bit.

"El, get dressed and come downstairs, I made breakfast."

"Oh I'm not that hungry. I need to head home. My mom hasn't seen me all weekend and I need to shower."

"Alright, I'll see you later then."

The last 3 weeks of school went by very quickly. I avoided Sam at all costs and he did the same with me. I started wearing a tshirt over my bathing suit again, I just didn't feel like showing off. Not even around Natalie.

The first 3 weeks of summer were, well weird. I haven't seen Sam at all, mostly because Nate stopped having him over when I was there, which was very nice. But I also started to close myself off from people. Mostly Natalie.

She's been asking what's wrong, but I keep telling her everything is fine.

But my entire world has come to a halt.

I feel like nothing, and it's all because of that scumbag Sam. His friends smile smugly at me whenever I see them, and I overheard a few girls call me a skank on the last day of school.

I got a call from Natalie, and I answered.

"Elena, where the hell have you been? I've been calling all day."

"Sorry my phone was off."

"What are you doing? I'm bored and need to vent about Aaron."

"I'm busy, sorry Nat. I'll call you later."
