Paige's POV
I was just laying in bed for the fourth day straight. I haven't eaten or gotten out of my room. I know it sounds stupid. Nathan and I weren't together or anything. But I can't help but feel sad over the fact that Nathan said that about me and that I'm the reason him and Kelsey aren't together anymore. I haven't felt this sad since Luke. When Luke and I were together I was so happy. I felt on top of the world everytime he smiled at me. He always knew how to lift my spirits. I felt a tear trickle down my cheek as I remember the day Luke told me.
"Hey baby" I said as I walked over and kissed Luke. Strange. He didn't kiss back. "Babe whats wrong?" I tried to look into his eyes but he wouldn't look at me.
"Paige we need to talk" What the heck? He just got back from a 6 month vacation and he can't even kiss his girlfriend. But he can tell me he needs to talk to me. Which only means one things. Bad.
"When I was on vacation I met this girl. We really hit things off and I sorta.... slept with her" I literally felt my heart drop through my entire body. I couldn't breath. I just stared at Luke. He kissed my cheek and walked out of the room.
I was more angry than sad. I didn't get my chance to yell at him to ask him why he did it. He just walked out on me without saying goodbye or he loved me or even to say he's sorry. For the first month I just wanted to punch him or run him over with my car. But after that I was really sad and it took me a while to get over it. But now that I met the boys I feel as though I've finally moved on. Only I've moved on to Nathan. As much as it hurts I don't want to miss this.
I'm snapped out of my thoughts as I hear a little knock on my door. I sit up straight and pull my knees to my chest. "Come in" I call softly. My voice cracks from me not speaking for a while. Jay walks in with a glass of tea in his hands. He hands me the tea and I take a sip. The hot drink running down my throat feels amazing. Jay sits down and waits till I set my tea down to begin his little talk.
"I know your hurt Paige and I'm not gonna sit here and tell you I understand and that everything will be okay. Because I'm not in your shoes. But I do know Nathan is really hurting. He didn't mean those things he said he was only upset. I know it might take some time to go back to the way things were a week ago. And your going to have some walls up." Wow I was not expecting that.
"Thank you Jay. I know I have to face Nathan at some point. I guess I could go do that now" I said looking down. Jay came over and hugged me. "Paige trust me Nathan isn't one to hurt people. He's also not one to hold grudges. At least give him a chance." I smiled up at Jay and he kissed me on the cheek before I pulled an over sized tshirt on. Just long enough to cover my nike pros. I walked across the hall and into the guest room that the boys were staying in. I noticed blow up matresses spread all over the room and clothes everywhere. I felt a cool air coming from the balcony and noticed the door was open. I walked over to it and saw Nathan sitting on it looking up at the stars. He had a blanket wrapped around him. I walked out and sat next to him but not too close. He noticed I was there but didn't say anything just went back to looking at the stars.
"I'm sorry Nathan. I just wanted to be close to you and I guess I took that to the extreme and then I ruined you and Kelsey's relationship all because I was selfish and wanted a friendship with you because truthfully I wanted to be more than friends. I felt this spark when I'm near you that I've never felt before. I knew you had a girlfriend and I flirted to much and expected you to want to be with me. I understand now that you didn't want me. And I'm sorry. I'll try so hard not to make things awkward and I'll get over this little crush before tour starts." I finished that and shivered as a breeze blew. I guess Nathan noticed because he scooted closer and wrapped the blanket around me too. I put my head on his chest and we just sat like this for at least an hour.
I guess I expected for him to at least answer me but he never did. It got really late so we decided we better get some sleep. I was leaving the room when Nathan called my name. "Paige I felt the sparks too. But I just need time. Kelsey was my first love and It is going to take some time to get over her." I smiled and simply nodded. it was the fact that he said he felt the same sparks. I actually went to bed feeling much better.
I woke up the next morning and walked downstairs. The other boys were up but they were watching a football game. They mumbled some goodmornings but mainly didn't take their eyes off the screen. I guess they realized that I was awake because as soon as I entered the kitchen they came running back in. "Paige!" They all hugged me. I laughed to myself. They went back to the game and I sat down with my tea in hand. Nathan came in and made himself some tea.
"So how are you on this beautiful morning?" I asked and Nathan smiled at me. "It's even more great seeing you up and smiling" He answered back. We finished our tea and walked out to the back room. We sat on the couch and turned on a movie. Nathan was really quiet so I snuggled in next to him. I like this. He may of said he needed time but that didn't mean we couldn't spend time together like this.
"Nathan I'm really sorry" I looked into his eyes. He just looked back and never lost the eye contact. "Don't be sorry Paige. i'm so glad I met you. And I promise if your willing to wait, you will be my girl one day" My whole world just lifted off the ground. I must have been smiling like an idiot because Nathan began to laugh.
"I would love nothing more than that" I answered and kissed his cheek. He kissed my forehead and we went back to watching the movie.
