Guilty As Sin? (Nathan Prescott x reader)

25

Y/n's pov

It's been a couple days since I got here and things are definitely...something. It's not as bad as I thought it would be. I have a roommate named Steph, who reminded me a lot of Rachel Amber.

Not many people knew I was here. Only my parents, which my dad calls me everyday to check on me. We weren't allowed to use our cellphones, we could only use the ones here. Dana and Zach knew I was here too and they both had called. Zach and I made up but Justin and I haven't, and I really am not sure that we will. I haven't heard from Nathan yet but I figure he is busy with his internship with his dad anyway.

I had told Steph all about my life and she had told me about hers. She said I remind her of an old friend she used to have. Steph was around 10 years older than me and she felt like a big sister. Either way she was really cool and I like hanging out with her.

After 3 weeks I had started on a painting. Still no word from Nathan but Dana set me a letter.

Dear y/n,
I'm so proud of you girl! I'm sure it's hard and that you're so far away and we miss you! People have asked about you and I told them you were visiting your family. Trevor and I are going on a trip to Hollywood!!!! Though Trevor doesn't act like it definitely misses hanging out with you and Justin. The two have been...distant? I guess and I don't know why. Speaking of, Justin asked about you but before I could answer he said 'nevermind I don't care'. Nathan hasn't been on campus at all so I haven't gotten the chance to ask him about you so this is why I'm writing to you. I'm sure you talk to him a lot which is good. Can't wait for our senior play!!! Cya in a couple months y/n

Lots of love,
Dana

Dana's note was sweet and I smiled while I read it. I hated that Justin and I weren't talking. I hated even more that Justin and Trevor weren't talking. I thought about what she said about Nathan. I couldn't call him because I didn't have his number memorized, or the number of the company he worked for. After reading this I called Chloe to let her know where I had been. She said it was cool what I was doing but she could never.

It was now two months and I had one month left. My painting was almost done and I had listed out a bunch of names for it and Steph said she liked Guilty as Sin the best. The painting was the scene of Romeo and Juliet and their last kiss before death. I'm planing on giving it to Nathan. Every time I get a call or letter or anything I hope it's from him but nothing so far. Maybe he wanted some space which I respected. Or maybe he just wanted to focus on his internship, which I hope he was enjoying.

I went to go check my mailbox today as so did Steph. When looking through everything Steph asks, "no word from Rott yet?" Rott, was a nickname she came up with for Nathan, after the dog breed. "Nope, nothing... except I did get a letter from... frank?" I say confused

"You're dealer? That's no good." Steph says in a comedic tone. "He was like a brother to me too..." I tell her.

I go back to my room and Steph goes to work out. I sit on my bed and open franks letter.

Hey y/n Chloe and max told me where you were. I only had to ask a thousand times. Don't worry though they told me to keep it a secret. I regret giving you those pills and I'm sorry I did. I hope you're doing alright. You're a strong kid, hell of a lot stronger than I was at your age. When you get back we should catch up, but just know no matter how much money you offer you ain't gettin nothing.

Frank

I laugh reading the letter. Frank and I used to be real close, for a while I looked up to him. Which might sound stupid but he was cool and tough and isn't scared of anyone. I put the letter in the box with all the other letters I've received and then get into bed and stare at the ceiling till I fell asleep.
