He wasn't

Chapter 13

He Wasn't: Chapter Thirteen

After three hours, me and Megan came back at 10 PM. We showered and put on our same pajamas with printed stars that we bought before and talked until the crack of dawn. We settled to easy conversation about how she and Ryan are getting along fine again and their love would never be tested again, and me talking about how fun it was at Lexington, about dad making me breakfast every morning and how I met Nathan. Our usual talk... Not until it reached 4 PM.

"Don't you regret meeting him?" Megan said. "I mean, face it Sof, your life WAS boring. Not until you met Nathan."

"Maybe I don't regret meeting him... But it's so complicated."

"How did it become complicated?" she sat up with a look of confusion on her face.

"Because... He made me think that he liked me."

"He made you think? What stuff did he do that made you think that he's just playing with you?"

I stood quiet for a while and re-think what Nathan did for me back then.

"So?" Megan made me snap back.

"When we first met, My camera fell right? And he instantly jumped in the water to find it... But anyone could have done that too right. Then when he found out that I love photography, he took me to see the sunrise way up on a hill over looking the entire lake. After that, I never saw him for the rest of the week,"

Megan looked intently at me and I raised a brow, puzzled at her expression.

"What are you looking at? Aren't you going to reply to that or something?"

"No, not really," she smiled. "Because I feel that's not the end of what you two did."

I swallowed and continued. "After one whole week of not seeing him, I thought he was just... You know, kind and considerate. I saw him again at our house. He invited me for a cook-out at the lake. Since I didn't know anyone there, I told him I was scared, but he told me I shouldn't because he will be right beside me the whole night. But then I walked out because some girl was hitting on him and I thought he doesn't care about me but it ended up he said he hate girls like that," I stared blankly into space as I let loose of those memories. My mind went into oblivion as I remembered Nate. I could feel myself smiling as I go on with my story.

I end up telling Megan everything. Every single detail of what had happen to me. She looked amused, she asked every now and then about what I felt when Nate did that. To my surprise, I end up saying how I liked it.

"We even had a date at a shrimp shack with live bands playing. And I didn't know he writes songs and play for a living. He even had like 10 part time jobs,"

"Ahh, that's the life of a struggling musician." she said as a matter of factly. "I feel we're gonna end up the same Sof,"

"No, I have faith in us." I said.

"Does he go to college?"

"No, he wanted to, but he said he'd help his aunt first."

"Ohh," she said. "So going back, how did your date ended?"

"Well, he sang me a song, one of his compositions. And it was very sweet of him to do that. When we got home, his friends came and invited him to a party but he refused because he said he'd go home after that. But his friends were persistent that we ended up agreeing with their plan that we'd spend the next day at the lake... But something happened,"

Megan looked like she was watching a movie, she was really paying attention not until I stopped.

"What?" she said.

"Huh? What, what?"

"What? What, what?"

"You said what first!"

"I meant what happened?"

"Oh," I said as dimbulb lights up.

"I over heard him and Hannah talking about me," I sighed. Megan scooted closer to me like she was ready to give me a hug.

"I heard him..." I said rubbing my eyes. "He said he doesn't like me at all."

I was trembling as tears flow down my cheeks. I guess all it took was to tell someone how I felt. I can hear Megan sobbing and hugging me tighter.

"You silly girl," she cried. "If it hurts, let it out. You don't need to keep it inside. Don't forget, I'm here."

Me and Megan were always like this. That's how I describe friendship, wether in good or bad times, your friend should always be there and that's how thankful I am to have Megan as my best friend. The pain in my chest simply vanished because all I need was someone to tell it to.

"Um, Sofie," Megan whispered.

"Hmm?"

"It's 6 AM, I think you should start painting soon?"

My eyes widened. "Uh-oh."
