Chapter 26

*Nathan’s POV*

 “Kerry? You ok?” I asked again touching her on the shoulder but she shook me off. I was frankly not happy about this “Ok seriously what has pissed you off? Why aren’t you letting me touch you?” she glared at me. Her face still full of thunder “you and Tia” she said bluntly. I chuckled slightly “ha, what about me and Tia?” I asked her “I said you can speak to her not put your body all over her!” she shouted at me. That was a shock. Kerry was not one to shout and if she did she seriously meant it. I needed to raise my voice slightly to show her I was not backing down. “I gave her a hug! So what is wrong with a hug? You give Max, Tom George hugs and I don’t complain. Why does it make it any different to me hugging other girls?” I exclaimed. She took a deep breath in and shouted back “BECAUSE! You still like Tia! You still love her!” was I still making it obvious? Ok yes I did still like Tia but it is not like I am going to tell Kerry that cos I love her too! “What, Seriously what the actual fuck Kerry? I love you!” I tell her trying to touch her again. “NO! NO Nathan you don’t! You were smiling and laughing and touching her arm and everything!” she was nearly in tears “you know? I have loved you ever since you started college? Seeing you around with Tia just made me want to burst and tell you how much I loved you!” I looked deep into her turquoise eyes and said “then why didn’t you?” “Because you loved Tia!” “Yeah, I did. You got to admit she is hot and gorgeous and cute..” “EXACTLY! I am not ANY of those things and that is why you were and still are all over her! Admit it Nathan you still love her and you don’t love me” she told me. “Err everything ok over here?” Ashley asked as her and Tom walked passed. I looked at Kerry and said in a firm way “everything is fine!” she shot up out of her seat and ran out of the library “good luck with getting out of that one mate” Tom said as they walked passed me. I followed Kerry and found her crying in the corner of the lobby area. It was after college hours so no one was there “Kerry, come on. Lets talk bout this?” I tried to reason with her. She just shook her head and reached behind her neck “you know what Nathan?” she said as she undid her necklace took my hand and placed the necklace in my palm “give this to someone who you actually love and cherish. There is no point me keeping it” Kerry said in a small whisper as she closed my hands so I was clasping the necklace. She stood up and ran off again “KERRY WAIT!” I shouted down the corridor to her. Nothing. I needed a way to show her that it was her I loved! That was, in some way, over Tia! I know who I should call. Conor! He will have some ideas or if not Tia will.

*Conor’s POV*

BRING BRING…. “Oh Tia.. St-hop” BRING BRING! “Tia. I need to get ph-on-onne” I panted as my mobile rang. She let me wriggle out of her as I pulled my phone out of my pocket. I looked at it and it was Nathan. “Hello?” I asked. “Hello, sorry have I disturbed you?” he asked me. I looked at Tia who was still extremely horny as she kept placing kisses on my cheek and neck. “No-no its fine. What’s up mate? Where are you?” I asked me “I am at home, just got back from college. Although I have just had an argument with Kerry” he told me “oh right ok? What happened?” “well, I was speaking to Tia and then when I was like walking back over to Kerry she like kept blanking me! She accused me of still liking Tia as well” he explained to me. I wasn’t going to lie I was slightly annoyed about what he just said. I sighed and tried to compose myself. Tia looked at me funny as well as trying to get my attention by placing more kisses on my neck but I ignored her “oh right and do you still like her?” I asked. I know it wasn’t the best think but come on he was talking about MY girlfriend! “Oh come on Conor? You know I am over Tia! All I was doing was being a good friend to her as she was upset about something. I am in love with Kerry but I need your help to show her how much I love her” I took the phone from my ear and pressed the speaker phone. “Nath, you’re on speaker. Tia. Nathan needs help to show Kerry he still loves her” I told both of them. Tia stopped kissing me and just decided to draw circles on my “have you had an argument?” she asked Nathan “yeah, she thinks I still like you” Nathan said. Well that was awkward……. “Umm well why don’t you sing to her? She loves your voice” Tia suggests “uh, ok? What song should I sing and will you guys help me?” Nathan askes “Kerry’s favourite song is the one you wrote. You know? Just the way you are. I don’t mind playing guitar for you, Conor you could do backing?” Tia again suggested. I paused for a sec thinking to myself about things that have happened over the past “err, Tia doesn’t Kerry hate me? For well you know? Grabbing you?” I said “look, please I really want you help. Kerry will be fine with it. Please Conor?” Nathan asked. He seemed desperate “OK. Ok fine. I will help. So the song I wrote just the way you are then? We need to make sure Kerry’s mum is out right?” I asked “Yep, we do. Thanks so much guys!” Nathan said. We said goodbye and hung up the phone. “We better get dressed then so we can go practice with him.” Tia said. I decided it was a good idea and got up too and put on my clothes. Time to do some practicing. I thought to myself.
