The Two of Us❤️(Nate Garner Love Story)

Chapter 23

*Y/N's Pov*

~2:30pm~

People like you always want back, the love they gave away
And people like me want to believe you when you say you've changed

I was still debating whether or not i should meet with Lizzy at Starbucks in half an hour. I'm walking with devices on my arms for support on my back and legs. I don't want her sympathy. I want her to hear me out about how she made me feel but i know she'll just be the stubborn bitch she is and turn it all on me again.

Nate was taking a nap on my bed. He told me to wake him if I decided to go. I don't want to wake him, he looks so adorable and peaceful sleeping. And if i do go she's just gonna cause unwanted stress.

I laid back on my pillows and Nate wrapped his arms around me.
"Mhm are we gonna go?" He asked in a raspy voice.
"You know your voice sounds really sexy when you're waking up."

"Thank you." He said and leaned to kiss my lips. "But you didn't answer my question."

I sighed and looked out the window. "I don't know"

"Maybe we should go. You can straighten things out and if you still see she's not worth it at least you got the chance to tell her what you wanted to say." he was right but i still wasn't fully convinced. "I'll be there by your side and if it gets too much i'll get you out of there, i just want you to have peace."

"Okay"
...

We got to Starbucks and right when we walked in i saw her. She saw me and I immediately regretted coming.
"Nate i want to go" i said.
"Baby you haven't even talked to her yet." As he finished that sentence Lizzy was already in front of us.

"Hi Y/N. Oh my God. How are you doing?" She asked

"Fine. This is my boyfriend Nate. And he's not an asshole." I said with a smile and some obvious attitude.
"I got you a twix frappe. Do you want to sit down?"

Before i could say no Nate squeezed my shoulder signaling me to accept her offer.
"Sure"

We sat down and it was awkward silence for a couple seconds. I wanted to make this as quick as possible and she wasn't saying anything and was just wasting my time.

"So what do you want?" I said, showing obvious annoyance.
"I-I just wanted to see you."
"Okay"
"Jacob and I broke up, he wasn't what i thought he always was. He cheated on me" she said looking down.

I just looked at her thinking that this bitch thought i was stupid or something and would immediately feel sympathy for her. Well, she thought wrong.

"Oh so basically you're telling me that now that you don't have anyone you think it's just okay to rekindle our friendship. What do you think i am?! Some stupid old toy you can throw away. Oh but then you get a new toy and when that shit breaks you fucking want the old one back!!" I said loosing my patience with this bitch.

"No its not like that Y/N" Lizzy's voice was starting to get shaky. It happens when she knows i'm right.

"Well it sure seems like it." I started. Nate held my hand tighter, comforting me. "Jacob hurt me really bad. He insulted me and basically told me to kill myself." I sighed in frustration before i could continue. "But what hurt the most is that you, that you were my best friend and we knew each other for seven fucking years...not only did you tell him my personal problems i trusted you with but, you sided with him and said 'oh he was only joking, you took it too serious'. Telling someone to kill themselves is serious and you knew i was contemplating it. If it was Nate that insulted you I would've dumped him that second because obviously a friendship that long is worth more than a guy i've known for three damn months and if i really loved him and he loved me i would have dragged the little shit to your house and made him get on his knees to apologize."

"You don't understand..i loved him-"
"Why did you want me to come? To hear your same shit again?! You already fucking broke up! He cheated on you and you're still stuck on the same damn page!" I could tell people were starring now and I didn't want to continue with this pointless waste of time anymore.

"For a whole year i did nothing but waste my damn time thinking of you." I started again. "I thought of how we would still be friends if you never met Jacob, i thought of what a waste of a life and time i was to you, i thought about how it would be if i ever saw you again and i was still wondering if i ever did want to see you again. And as usual i overthought every little detail... And now, here we are face to face and i just want to say i forgive you." I could feel my eyes starting to get watery so i wanted to finish this quickly.

"You do?" She said with a sad confused face.

"I forgive you not because you deserve forgiveness but, because i deserve peace. I deserve the peace that i finally said what i had to say and what i kept in. And i guess thats all i really wanted. I wanted you to know how i feel, how you made me feel. I'm grateful for the time we got to spend together i mean we made wonderful memories but, we could never go back to the way we were so...goodbye." I finished saying what i had to say and i was ready to leave and never see this bitch again. I stood up and Nate helped me. Lizzy just stayed in shock of my words. Before she could say anything Nate and i were making our way to his car.

Nate started driving and i turned around and saw Lizzy walking out of the Starbucks and watching us drive away. I closed my eyes and tried to keep the tears in. Lizzy meant so much to me and i hate that i mean nothing to her. I guess there's just something wrong with me that I'm never as important to people as they are to me. Like Lizzy and my mom and dad. 

I felt like my walls were crashing down and everything was falling apart. I started crying and Nate stopped the car.

"Baby, you don't need her in your life. I know it hurts now but time will fade her away she doesn't deserve to be part of your thoughts-"
"How do you just fucking forget seven years of memories Nate?!? Tell me how?!? How do you deal with never meaning anything to anyone you care about"

"You can't Y/N. But you can't hurt yourself because of people that don't even deserve you breathing near them. I know it's hard because you lost someone who was there for all your laughs, your accomplishments, your tears, but I know you're headed toward bigger and better things and she was gonna hold you back. You don't need her in your life to be happy. If i ever see that Jacob dude ever i can assure you he'll end up in the hospital. I'm here for you baby and i always will be. Now that you told her what's on your mind, now that she has no one, she know she made the biggest and stupidest mistake ever. You said what you had to say and now you have a weight lifted off your shoulders and it's going to get easier to move on baby. Soon she'll just be a blur. I'm here for you." Nate's words always gave me comfort no matter how tough the situation could be.

I love Nate.
