Chapter 7: Nathan

Hey guys! So yeah, I'm not gonna put a picture up for Nathan or Alex because I want you guys to imagine them yourself. If I put a picture up, I think it'd ruin the image some of you may have of them already and I don't want to do that. Plus, I don't think there's a pic of the guys I've got in my head anyway. So yah, enjoy reading!

I closed my eyes the entire car ride. I was confused. When did he have a car? He was always taking bus.

We pulled up outside his house and he helped me out of the car. I was in so much pain and I just wanted to sleep.

He opened the front door and carried me upstairs. He lay me on a soft bed and I looked around.

The room was painted light grey. The carpet was magnolia. There was a wooden wardrobe in the corner and matching bedside cabinets with lamps on them. There were also some colourful bean bags in the corner. Aside from that, the room was pretty empty. There was a door but it was closed.

"Bathroom." He said. He went in and got a flannel and some water. He came back and started to clean my face.

"The second time I'm nursing you after he beats on you." He mumbled. I looked down ashamed.

"I'm sorry." I whispered.

"Why are you apologising? It's not your fault."

"I was winding him up."

"So what? He shouldn't have touched you, end of story." He finished up and disappeared downstairs. He came back up a while later with some chocolate spread on toast and a glass of orange juice. I smiled at him gratefully. Trying to sit up I squealed before laying back down. What the heck did Alex do to my stomach? It hurt so bad.

"Don't sit up. Let me feed you." He held the toast for me.

"No, I can manage thanks." I tried to sit up again but couldn't. Staring at him, I sighed before nodding. I let him feed me the toast and I drank the orange juice quickly. He seemed satisfied and went back downstairs. I started falling asleep when I heard a lot of clanking.

"This is going to help with your pain." He said. On a tray were these small metal bowls and little sachets of herbs and flowers or something. He went to the end of the bed and took off my shoes. He placed his hand on my stomach and some of the pain went away. Umm... what? I was then able to sit up with his assistance and he started to pull off my blazer.

"What're you doing?"

"Undressing you." He replied.

"Why?" I asked in a worried voice. He looked me in the eye.

"I'm not gonna hurt you. I just want to take away your pain. But you have to be in minimal clothing for this to work properly. Trust me."

"Nathan-"

"I'm not going to try anything, I'm not going to touch you inappropriately, I promise." He held my gaze and I waited a while before nodding slowly.

I let him take off my blazer and I stood up to take off my trousers and school shirt. I glanced at him.

"You got underwear on?" He asked. I furrowed my brows before nodding.

"Then take your shorts and vest off." He said.

"What?"

"Minimal clothing. I don't want you to be too exposed which is why I'm letting you keep your underwear on, but this is too much." He looked me up and down. I stared at him before complying.
