Yes, Mr Sykes - (COMPLETED)

Part 21 - "I Love You."

BETH'S P.O.V

"Who the fuck was that?!" Nathan shouted. I gripped his hand tighter in mine as I began to shake.

"N-Nathan." I mumbled, turning to face him as a tear travelled down my cheek.

Nathan wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me against his chest.

I could hear his heart beating rapidly though his jumper as I sniffed.

"Come on, everything will be okay." Nathan mumbled as he ran his hand through my hair.

"How the fuck can everything be okay?" I asked, moving away from him.

"Nathan, in case you didn't fucking realise, someone we know might have just caught us pretty much on top of each other!" I screamed as I began to sob.

"You don't think I already fucking know that?!"

I put my head into my hands and wiped my eyes quickly.

"It might not have even been someone we know. It could just have been some random stranger who thinks we're a normal couple." Nathan told me.

"Normal?" I laughed as tears continued to roll down my face.

"We are far from a fucking normal couple." I shouted as I walked off.

I jumped slightly as I felt someone's hand grab hold of my wrist, before turning around to see Nathan in tears as well.

"I don't want to lose you over someone seeing us, because we might not even know them." Nathan told me.

I nodded slightly and looked at the floor.

"Go back to your room." He sighed as it began to start raining.

I nodded and moved away from him as he went to kiss me.

"Don't be like this, Beth." Nathan sighed.

"Be like what? A little edgy in case the person is still watching us?" I asked sarcastically.

Nathan put his hand under my chin and made me look at him before he pressed his lips against mine.

"I told you, everything will be okay. Promise." Nathan told me.

Like I actually believed that.

"Yeah." I mumbled. What else was I meant to say?

"I love you." Nathan muttered quietly, before looking down at the floor.

Did I just hear that right? Or was I imagining things again?

"W-What?" I stuttered. I wanted to hear him say it again in case I had misheard him.

"I love you." he repeated.

I made him look up at me and pressed my lips hard against his. Nathan's arms wrapped around my waist as mine went around his neck, pulling him closer to me.

I pulled away after a few minutes and mumbled against his lips.

"I love you too."

And I meant it. I had never felt this way about someone before, and no one had ever cared about me as much as Nathan did.

He was there if I needed someone, and whenever I was upset he would hold me close to him and do his best to make everything better.

A grin spread across Nathan's face and I grinned as well as I watched the rain fall from his now, dripping wet hair and onto his face.

"Come on, we better get back." Nathan sighed as he grabbed my hand and we began to walk back to the dorms.

We both turned quiet as we got to my door and I looked up at Nathan.

"Try not to worry about what just happened." He told me, before pressing his lips against my forehead.

I nodded slightly. I was going to do nothing but worry. What else was I meant to do? Someone from our school, might have possibly caught me kissing my teacher. He could get put away for this because I know that people would think he pushed me and pressured me into doing this when that was a lie.

This was mine, and Nathan's decisions and we couldn't help how we felt about each other, even if it was illegal in the eyes of some people.

Other people may think it was fate. If true love was mean to be, then it was meant to be. You can't do anything about it and you can't control it.

That's all there is too it really.

It just happens, you can't make yourself not love someone.

"Everything will be fine." Nathan told me, followed by a very unconvincing smile.

I nodded and moved away from him.

"I mean it, stop worrying." he sighed, stroking my cheek gently.

I jumped as the coldness from his skin hit me.

"See you tomorrow." Nathan smiled faintly, before walking off.

I walked into my dorm and closed the door behind me, before turning around to find Lizzie looking like death.

"Fucking hell, you made me jump." I said, putting my hand against my chest as if it could actually slow my heart rate down.

"Where have you been? And why are you drenched?" She asked, raising her eyes.

Shit. What if it was her that saw me and Nathan? She'd know I was lying.

"Just went for a walk, I had a headache." I told her as I peeled my soaking wet jeans off my legs, along with my hoodie before chucking them in the corner of the room.

That wasn't exactly a lie; I did go for a walk so if it was her she couldn't say that I had lied to her.

Lizzie nodded and lay down on her bed with her back facing me as I sighed in relief, before getting into bed as well.

I glanced at my phone as it lit up to tell me I had a text.

'From: Nath x

Message: Stop worrying Beth, nothing bad is going to happen. I love you so much and I don't know what I would do without you. You're everything to me and I swear to god, if I ever lose you then I think I might actually go mental. Nothing is going to happen to us, because I won't let it. I promise. No regrets, right?x'

I sighed as I read it, tears forming in my eyes. He could tell me nothing was going to happen to him, but I knew he was lying. Something bad was going to happen to him.

I didn't even know who it was who had seen us. If it was someone that me and Nathan knew, we could try and convince them not to tell anyone. I sighed heavily and closed my eyes.

I don't know why people made such a big deal out of this. Nathan and I loved each other, fair enough the age difference was a little big and the fact that  he was my teacher, but when you ignored all those things, me and Nathan were just in love.

I couldn't imagine anything bad happening to him, because we felt something for each other. When you think about it, that was ridiculous.

Being punished for being in love.

How stupid.
