Playing By Love || ON HOLD

Chapter 11

-Aria-

We got back from the trip around 2 days ago, the rest of the days spent their were either something we had to do with the school or just sitting around in the hotel.

Me and Nathan's second date is tomorrow after classes and since tomorrow is Friday we can do whatever we want after school hours and it's a half day so we'll finish at 12:00pm

I'm planning the date so I'm very excited, I'm gonna take him on a picnic first, i feel like it'd be a great way to get to know each other better.

Riley and Olivia helped me get all the stuff ready for tomorrow, he doesn't where were going its gonna be a surprise, Olivia was the one who gave me the idea, she told me Nathan likes them and that he used to go with his mom.

Suddenly the bell rings stopping my train of thoughts and informing us the day is over, i quickly grab my stuff, walking out of the class room i make my way to the lockers were i put back all my books before meeting up with Olivia and Riley.

We head upstairs deciding on hanging out in Mine and Nathan's room. Riley suddenly stops letting out an excited squeal, "My parents, i missed so much, guys you i love you but i gotta" she says turning to look at the both of us

I let out a light chuckle, "girl, go be your family"

"Okay okay, i love you guys bye" she says walking backwards.

"Hey i have a better idea then to just sit around"

"Continue" i tell

"Okay so what if you, me, Nathan and Arlo all watch a movie, we'll have a sleepover, we can skip school tomorrow" it's actually perfect

"Yeah of course we'll do that, but what about Rowan?"

"Rowan is with Riley"

"Oh okay, I'll go over, wear something comfortable and I'll bring Nathan with me, you get everything set okay?"

"You got it" she says shooting gun fingers my way

I laugh walking away toward our room, it's kind of weird he hasn't really talked to me today, and usually after practice he always texts me.

I stop thinking to much about it finally arriving at our dorm, i gently open the door walking down the little corridor, I don't find Nathan anywhere near the bathroom or beds, i behind me over to the closet were i see Nathan sitting down of the floor.

Curled up, knees brought up resting his face on it, i rush over to him, I'm pretty sure its a panic attack, i always get those, he helped me last time so i have to help.

I go down on my knees sitting in front of him, i use my to cup is face wiping of the tears rolling down, "hey hey whats wrong tell me" he tries to talk but fails which results in more sobs and tears.

"Remember what you told me smell the flowers and blow out the candles? Yeah lets do that okay?" I suck in a deep breath, "smell the flowers, "-blow out the candles" i say exhaling. I hold his face in my hand as i watch him do the same, "okay one more time yeah?" I inhale, "smell the flowers" watching as he does the same, "and blow out the candles"

After a few minutes he's breathing way better, i help him getting up leading him to his bed, we both sit down, "will you tell me what happened?" I ask him

"My dad he's leaving my mom, she has more than enough money but it just got to me i think, thank you for helping me" i smile leaning down to press a kiss on his lips, once our lips connect he puts his hand on the back if my neck deepening the kiss.

We both pull away out of breath, "Olivia invited us over for movie night, do you wanna go?" I ask him not sure if he's okay with that right now

"Yeah yeah lets go" he smiles
