Chapter 22

Annabeth's pov:

Nate and I arrived at the house. Luckily it was open. We walked in and our friends stared at us.

"So you guys done fighting now?"Jenny asked. I looked at Nate.

"I guess so."I replied. She gave me a look.

"What?"I asked looking at her. She narrowed her eyes at me.

"Nothing."she replied.

"Okay then."I said looking away.

"What time did you guys go to sleep?"I asked looking at them. They exchanged looks.

"Pretty early I mean watching you too fight takes a lot of energy."Johnson replied. I looked at him.

"Mhm. So why didn't you guys answer your phones? I mean even if you were asleep you would have heard your phones regardless."I said looking at them.

"They died."Sam replied.

"All of your phones died."I said looking at him. He nodded.

"Yeah."he replied.

"Why does that sound to hard to believe?"I said looking at him. He shrugged.

"Okay so your phones died. And you guys slept early. You guys never sleep early."I replied.

"We we do now."G said looking at me.

"Mhm."I replied unconvinced.

"Look you guys were annoying as hell. Okay you were constantly fighting. And it tired us out okay. So stop fucking complaining and just drop it."G yelled.

I flinched back. Well shit. I looked at Jack who was getting up. But before he could Nate put his hand on jacks chest.

"Calm down."he replied looking at Jack. Jack looked at Nate and scoffed.

"Oh please. Two days ago you would be on position so don't even try."Jack hissed and pushed Nate's hand off of him. He looked at me but quickly turned away as if the sight of me ashamed him.

I looked down at my shoes and stared at them. When Jack left Nate came to my side and wrapped his arms around my waist. He kissed the side of my face.

"It's okay. He doesn't hate you. He's just not having a great time right now. I'm guessing the break up is hitting him harder than he lets on. And he's just having a hard time letting people in." Nate replied. I looked at him and nodded.

"Okay."I said nodding my head. He smiled. He grabbed my hand and rubbed circles on the back of it.

"You sure?"Nate asked looking at me with question filled eyes. I smiled at him and nodded.

"Yes."I replied shoving him a bit. He chuckled and wrapped his arm around me. He kissed my head and rested his chin on the top of my head.

Sam clapped his hands.

"Well then. We will just leave you guys alone."Sam said pointing at me and Nate. Jenny nodded and started getting up.

"No. Please stay I haven't talked to you in like forever."I pleaded. I looked at Nate for support but he was giving Sam a look. I looked at Sam and Nate.

Sam nodded.

"No really. Jenny is coming with me to the studio to help me on some songs and tell me her opinions on it."Sam replied.

"I am?"Jenny asked confused Sam gave her a look.

"Oh that's right. Sorry cuz. I forgot. But well hang out soon. Yeah?"she said before Sam dragged her out the door. I looked at Johnson.

"I'ma talk to gilinsk see what's wrong."he replied leaving before I could say anything. I looked at Nate and narrowed my eyes at him. I smacked his chest.

"Why'd you do that for?"I asked scolding him. He gave me a cheeky smile and held my hands. He kissed my cheek and smiled.

"Because I wanted to be alone."he replied huskily in my ear. It sent shivers down my spine. He smirked when he saw my reaction. I gave him a small shove.

He chuckled and pulled me closer.

"I'm serious."he replied looking at me. I rolled my eyes.

He kissed my cheek and pulled me into a hug. I sighed. God he is giving me heart problems. I swear he's going to be the death of me.

We pulled apart and I looked at him.

"Your an idiot."I replied. He chuckled and pecked my lips.

"Your idiot."he whispered. Mine. It sent shivers down my spine and gave me butterflies in my stomach. A smile formed on my face. I grabbed his neck and pulled him down to my face level.

I crashed my lips on his. He was shocked but quickly responded. Our lips moved in sync and I smiled. We pulled apart both of us panting for air.

He looked at me and smiled. He kissed my cheek and guided me upstairs. He closed the door and sat down on the bed. I took off my shoes and climbed on the bed with him.

I rested my head on mates chest and listened to the sound of his heart beat. I sighed and closed my eyes.

"Your not gonna fall asleep on me now are you? I thought we could do something fun."Nate said said getting up causing me to hit my head on Nate's knee.

"Ow."I said holding my head. I winced at the pain.

"Oh shit sorry."Nate replied rubbing my head. He looked at me and kissed my head.

"Better?"he asked. I smiled.

"No."I replied dead panned. He pouted and kissed my cheek repeatedly. I giggled at his actions.

"Nate stop."I replied laughing. But he didn't he just kept doing it. I grabbed his face and kissed him sweetly.

"Better."I said looking at him. He smiled and cupped my face. He placed his lips on mine and kissed me. I moved my hands to his head and ran my fingers threw his hair.

He smiled and I pulled him closer to me. We rested our foreheads together. I sighed. I love Nate maloley. I snapped open my eyes. No I can't. I can't be. I gulped and looked at Nate who still had his eyes closed.

I closed mine and breathed in Nate's cologne. He placed his lips once more on mine and got off of me. He laid back down under the sheets and patted a spot next to him. I smiled and got under the covers.

He pulled me closer to him and he sighed.

"I knew you were still sore so I wasn't going to push it."he replied. I nodded. I pecked his lips and got comfortable in his arms.

I closed my eyes and drifted into sleep. Thinking of what would have happened if I had said those three words to Nate.
