Emotions ||Ended|| (Life Is Strange Caulscott)

Alone

Nathan's P.O.V

She wanted to stay over? Why? Did she like me...? What? No. Of course she didn't! I was just being stupid! All that she wanted to do was hang out, as friends!

"So, what do you want to watch?" I asked, finding a comfortable position beside her, finally managing to rip myself away from my bizarre thoughts.

Immediately, her ocean blue orbs lit up, "OH! A HORROR!" If I had had water in my mouth, I would have spat it out then and there. A horror? It could be just like it happens in the movies, where the girl is scared and the boy puts his arm around her... But, the girl would be Max, and I would be the guy...

"Nath!" Once again, I'm ripped away from fantasy-like thoughts, "Gee, you've been all daydreamie ever since I got here!"

I raised an eyebrow, internally chuckling at her cuteness, "Daydreamie? I'm pretty sure that's not a word, Max,"

"Whatever," she brushed it off with an eyeroll, but that didn't mean that the smile that crept across her face lessened, "Are you going to put the film on, or not?"

That time, it was my turn to roll my eyes, "Yeah, yeah. I'm doing it!" I scrolled through Netflix, coming across The Conjuring before putting it on. Max's eyes lit up brighter than the golden rays of ultraviolet sunlight the sun sends to Earth; damn, she was so beautiful.

Max's P.O.V

Whilst the film was playing, Nathan and I lied on his bed, embracing subconsciously. When the first jump-scare came on, the brown-haired male beside me clung onto my arm, ever-so-slightly biting his own lip. I found him so adorable! After I noticed our closeness, I guess I just awkwardly kept thinking about it, constantly wondering if it counted as flirting... I have no idea why, though.

Random thought, I guess.

//2 Hours Later\\

Once the movie had finally come to a conclusion, we just sat there and discussed random things for a while. Nothing we spoke about had any relevance to anything in particular, but, somehow, we managed to drift onto the subject of romance.

"Hey, Max?" Nathan seemed conflicted as the words left his mouth, but the words that came next came pretty evidently, "Do you like me?"

Me, being the oblivious person I am, happily exclaimed, "Of course I like you! You're my best friend! Well, other than Chloe... Oh, and your best friend is Victoria so..."

The blue-eyed boy let out an exhausted sigh, "No, Max... I mean, do you LIKE me?" I stared at him blankly, and he seemingly took it as a sign that I didn't want to discuss that subject anymore, "Erm, I'm sorry I asked... Just forget about it,"

He slowly bowed his head down- in embarrassment, I presumed- and looked down at his feet. Almost subconsciously, I grab his chin up to look at me.

And I kissed him.

On the cheek.

Nathan's P.O.V

My eyes widened in absolute shock. She KISSED me! Max Caulfield actually kissed me!

Suddenly, she raised her hand, but I instantly halted her actions by intertwining them with mine, recognising what she was doing; Max was trying to rewind.

"Max," I desperately looked into her eyes, practically begging her to stop, "I thought you said that you only rewind mistakes! Listen, to me, the only part of that being a mistake was, well, it not being somewhere else,"

And, as if to prove a point, I kissed her.

On the lips.

"Max, I love you," I said once we parted, finally getting under the covers of the bed. I quickly gave her another peck, but it was shorter and sweeter.

"Hey, we should probably get to sleep," I instantly told her after we parted, observing the circles under her eyes. I did not want my Max Caulfield sleep deprived! And, not much to my surprise, when I lay down, she wrapped her thin arms around me, rested her head on my chest, and instantly fell asleep.

//Morning\\

I woke up the next morning feeling a surprising emptiness next to me. Where the hell was Max? Suddenly, I spot a note on the table. It read:

'Nathan,

About last night, I'm sorry I didn't say it back. It, of course, being 'I love you'.

Listen, I've practically loved you since I first ever laid eyes on you, in the bathroom... And, even though you had a rough exterior, I've always thought that you have a secret soft side. And, you know what? I was right.

I wish I could tell you where I am, but I can't. Just remember where our group always hang out.

- Max'

What? I was so confused- why the fuck had Max left me? She knew how I fucking felt, and she just disappeared. It actually hurt, to be honest. How could she?

Well, I was alone again...

I mean, Vic, Kate and even the cow Warren were now knocking at my door, but I'd never be content with anyone but Max. It was only Max's attention that mattered to me.

But, in all seriousness, what the fuck did those three want?
