The Two of Us❤️(Nate Garner Love Story)

Chapter 21

*Y/N's Pov*

I was flipping through the channels on the tv here. I was soo bored and Nate is taking so long. I'm sure the cafeteria isn't that far away from my room, or was it? I don't know. I just want him to hurry up. My little slow poke.

"Hey baby! I'm back."
"What took you so-" my jaw dropped and I cut myself off mid-sentence when i saw all the food Nate had brought. No wonder he took forever.

"Nate what in the world? That is way too much food."
"Naah it's a little bit. And you haven't eaten in so long."
He came and set the tray on top of me. He brought two apples, a big slice of lasagna, a chicken Cesar salad, four nature valley granola bars, around 10 packets of fruit snacks, a bowl of grapes, crackers, chocolate chip cookies, orange juice, apple juice, and a bottle of water.

"I'm really not hungry now. Seeing all this food made me feel full."
"Too bad." He started and he sat in his chair. "Now if i have to....here comes the airplane" he grabbed a spoonful of lasagna and made a little airplane noise as he was moving it closer to my mouth.
"You're such a dork" i said.
"Hey don't make fun of my dorkiness" he said putting his hand to his heart jokingly. He made me laugh when he gave me puppy dog eyes.

I opened my mouth and the spoon with lasagna went in.
I started chewing slowly and he was already moving another spoonful towards my mouth.
"Mmhm Nate I'm still chewing" i said with food in my mouth.

After i swallowed i gave him a smile and caressed his cheek. "You know you need to help me finish all this?"
"Okay." He said with a smile. He stood and leaned in to peck my lips.

"Oh hey in the hallway i ran into your cousin Jack." I froze when Nate said his name. "He said he wanted to visit you but you were in therapy and he thought you would be too tired to see him."
"Oh" i said blankly and looked away. What is Jack doing? Why would he do this?
"What's wrong?" Nate asked with a concerned look on his face.
"Oh no it's nothing. I just haven't seen him in years"
"Do you want me to bring him in if i see him next time?"
"No!..uh no its fine. I don't really want to see anyone. You know the state i'm in, it'll just depress me when they see me like this."

Nate looked at me and seemed hurt by my words. I mean Nate has been the only person here to see me and Nina came. But, i really don't have anybody who cares about me besides them.

*Nate's Pov*

After Y/N ate she fell asleep. She looked so beautiful and peaceful. It calms me down that she's not worried right now.

"Please don't leave me." She started murmuring in her sleep and shaking her head. Was she referring to me? I would never even think of leaving her? I held her hand tightly to let her feel my presence.

"It's okay baby. I'm right here." I whispered. She slowly opened her eyes. "What's wrong?" I asked her.

"I was just having a bad dream."
"Do you want to talk about it?"
Y/N turned her face and closed her eyes, i assumed she wanted to get off the subject.

"I had a best friend last year." She started. "We met in 7th grade. We were both really shy but she was in half of my classes. We started hanging out at lunch and just did the craziest, randomest thing together. We made so many memories we had our inside jokes and all throughout high school she was all i needed." A tear slipped out of her eye and i wiped it away.

"Baby you don't have to talk about it if it hurts you." I said reassuringly. 
"I want to talk about it...i want to get this off my chest and forget about her."
There was a moment of silence and she was waiting to re-gain some strength.
"I graduated high school but she didn't. But it was last summer she met a guy at a bus stop and three months later they started dating. I knew she didn't care about me as much anymore because she had him now. But, i never thought she would hurt me the way she did. I've known her for  seven years at the time and she had just known him for three months. She wouldn't make time to hang with me but she was always free for him. He took her phone and she let him text me and he insulted me and made me feel like shit because of my depression, he told me to take drugs to fix my problems." By now she was crying her eyes out and it killed me to see her like this.

I wanted to find that guy and beat him so hard till he went unconscious for making someone as valuable and precious as my Y/N feel worthless. 

"What hurts the most is that she said 'he was only joking' i never met the guy and shes the one that said he apologized but i couldn't accept it. He shouldn't of talked shit in the first place!...But, out of everyone i never expected her to leave me especially the way she did." She paused for a moment. "I hate that i still care for her and she doesn't even care about me"

"You know sometimes in life, people walk in and you never know when they'll walk out. They start a journey with you but maybe they're not supposed to continue because you're off to better things and they're not. I know it's hard to forget about someone you loved and cared about but sometimes its better to forgive and forget. Forgive her not for her but for you to have peace and time will heal and you'll forget about her. You'll always have me." I said.

"I love you Nate. So much....I know i say it a lot because i do i've never loved anyone like i love you, and i feel like i don't show it as much as i mean it but i do. It's just everyone i love never loves me back or loves me as much as i love them my mom, my dad, Lizzy i don't know how to show love." She said.

"Y/N i don't care about them. I'm not them and i know what we have is real and true and amazing. And with time you'll know how to express yourself more. I love you." I leaned in and kissed her lips softly. Sparks fly every time we kiss and i know she feels it too.
