I got a phone call from Nate and my heart dropped. I had been getting texts from him nonstop but I ignored every single one. I felt like a bitch. How could I do that to my boyfriend? I knew why. I didn't love him. The only reason I am still his "girlfriend" is because I'm trying to distract myself from Harry. He's no good for me. I love Harry so much but I need to get over him. I need to pay attention to Nate and then maybe something more will grow in my feelings for him. I shook my head and answered the phone.

"Hey babe! How is my beautiful Alyssa doing today?" Nate cheered through the phone.

"I'm doing good." I said.

"I'm glad. Do you think you could come over and spend the night? It'll be like old times. We can just lay out some blankets, eat popcorn, and watch Netflix." I smiled, reminiscing the old days.

"I'd love to. When should I come over?" I asked him.

"Anytime you want. If I'm not there, that will mean that I went out to get snacks but you know the secret way so just go in that way." He said.

"Okay I have a few things I need to do but then I'll come over. Okay?" I said.

"Alrighty. I love you, sweetie."

"I love you too." My heart stopped and I regretted the words as soon as they left my mouth. I quickly hung up the phone and threw it on my bed. I just messed up. Maybe I did love him though. Maybe I was just too lustful for Harry that I can't see through and know that I am actually in love with Nate. I virtually slapped myself of even thinking of such a terrible lie to myself.

I knew that I wasn't in love with Nate. I sighed and went to practice piano. I have been practicing every day. Even if it was only for a few minutes, but I've gotten better at it. I was just so out of practice but it all seems natural again. I sat down and played the first notes to "Wicked Game."

"The world was on fire but no one could save me but you. It's strange what desire will make foolish people do. I never dreamed that I'd meet somebody like you. I never dreamed that I'd lose somebody like you. No,I don't wanna fall in love. No, I don't wanna fall in love...with you...."

"What a wicked game to play to make me feel this way. What a wicked thing to do to make me dream of you. What a wicked thing to say. You never felt this way. What a wicked thing to do to make me dream of you. Now I wanna fall in love. No, I don't wanna fall in love with you. The world was on fire but no one could save me but you. Strange what desire will make foolish people do. I never dreamed that I'd love somebody like you. I never dreamed that I'd lose somebody like you."

I figured it was time to go to Nate's so I grabbed my stuff and left. It took me a while to get there but I enjoyed the walk. I knocked on the door and he opened it after a few moments. I smiled and he pulled me to him and squeezed me tight. I smiled against his chest and he pulled me inside.

"I have some special thing planned for tonight." He smiled.

"Sounds like fun." I smiled. Netflix was already on to the main menu and a large bowl of popcorn and other snacks were spread out on the coffee table.

"I hope you're hungry because I'm making dinner."

"I'm starving." He chuckled and I followed him to his kitchen. He opened the fridge and pulled out a beer. I frowned, but it went unnoticed.

"Would you like one?" He asked.

"No. I'm fine." He nodded and took a swig of his drink. I went over to the stove and looked at what he was preparing. It was roast with potatoes and carrots.
