Guilty As Sin? (Nathan Prescott x reader)

32

Nathan's pov:

As she walks away from me I throw my cigarette on the ground and step on it. As I'm walking to my forms I think. Rachel? What the fuck is she talking about. At the diner sure Caulfield reminded me of her, but not in some creepy way. Rachel and I were somewhat friends and that was it. We weren't that close but we did talk occasionally.

That's not why I had to stop seeing y/n thought. There were a couple reasons. I get back to my room and shut the door. I turn change into something more comfortable then turn on the whale sounds that I stared listening to a while ago, but hadn't heard them in a while, because with y/n I didn't need them. I lay down and look at my ceiling and think.

My dad told me I needed to stop being so attached to people and that y/n would only hold me me back, and if I didn't and things with her he would make sure i regretted it. The other reason is the nightmares I've been having. Every one I lose her in some sort of way, she either dies, or hates me, or leaves Arcadia without telling me.

Though I know if anyone was holding anyone back it was me holding her back. Though I felt like shit about it. Should I have done that? I mean all I said was a break, that could be days, or weeks, or even a month. She would wait for me right?

I drifted asleep and woke up to people in the halls being loud. I groan when I wake up and realize the mistake that I had made.

"Shit" I say to myself as I rub my eyes. I tiredly get up and go take a shower. Then come back get dressed, put gel in my hair, then sprayed cologne. I got a text from my phone.

Vic: meeting after school to discuss the vortex party this weekend
Vic: will u be there

I ignore the texts and grab my stuff and walk out of my room. "Hey Nathan, you going to be doing drama again this year? I hear we might be doing Dear Jack, Dear Louise maybe you and y/n could get the leads?" Hayden says to me, "leave me the fuck alone" I say as I push past him.

I walk out of the dorm and head to the school. I go to my locker and expect to see y/n show up beside me but a couple minutes pass and I can't wait any longer for her to show, so I walk to class. As classes go by I realize she isn't here today.

Whatever I don't need anyone anyway. Then I went to lunch and sat with the usual people. It was loud and obnoxious. Courtney and Taylor wouldn't shut up, and Dana kept giving me dirty looks, which I wasn't upset about but more confused about.

Lunch was over and the rest of the classes went by slower. Eventually It was time to go, and I headed straight back to my room. When I walked in the first thing I noticed was all the photos I have of y/n and I as well as the painting she gave me.

I went over to my computer and sat down getting ready for Kristine to call me, something we try to do every week. As I'm waiting I think about something.

Flashback

It was the first day and I walked into the Drama room, something I wasn't sure if I'd enjoy or not. There were a lot of different people, but one person stuck out to me the most. She was walking around the room introducing herself to everyone. She was the most beautiful girl I'd ever seen. She eventually got to me and said, "what's up ? my names y/n!" She says cheerfully. She had her hand out for a handshake which I  give her and introduce myself nervously. Though we weren't really friends she was always nice to me. And from the day I met her I always wondered if she would be more than just classmate

End of flashback

But as I was reminiscing, my thoughts were interrupted by my computer saying I had an incoming call. When I answer Kristine says, "Nathan!!! I miss you!"

"I miss you too" I smile. Kristine is the only person in my family that somewhat understands me."what's new? How are you? How's y/n?" She asks.

"Uh- we're on a break right now" I say. I see her face turn into a disappointment look "what why?" She ask. I contemplate telling her the truth or not but I decided I was going to. "Dad- told me I didn't need the distraction basically". "What? Nathan you never listen to dad why start now? Y/n really liked you I could tell" she tells me. "It's too late she probably hates me by now" I tell her. "Well go get flowers, her favorites, then go to her room and apologize and tell her how you really feel!" Kristine says a little too passionately that I sort of laugh. "Okay I will, thanks" "alright little brother I gotta go I love you! Keep me posted!" She says. "Love you too and I will." I say as I hang up and decide to go do exactly what she said
