Bad boy next door.

Boys will be boys

For weeks onwards, I studied 24/7 and did well in all my classes. I rarely saw Nate (Satan) as we only had 3 classes together and he was often too hungover to show up. I had come to a conclusion Nate was a top-quality dickhead and will continue to be one for the forceable future. I would almost always struggle to sleep because of the amount of noise coming from Nate's room, if that was the music,the sex noises, the screams or the drunken singing I would just have to deal with it. I personally think it's his way of getting my attention and hoping I'll go to his door and speak to him. No chance!
College continued as usual and I was loving it until one day an announcement came throughout the campus 'There has been a fight between 7 boys and if anyone knows their identities you will speak up and be rewarded'. This worries me slightly as I hadn't heard Nate come home last night and he's extremely loud boy so I went on a search to see if he was around campus. It was about 6'o'clock and still I hadn't found Nate. The only place left he would be is back in his room. I dreaded having to knock for him but if he was hurt or involved I'd have to tell somebody. I knocked on the door violently 'Nate, open up' I continued but still nothing. I finally realised the lock had been broken off and the door could easily just open up. I slowly opened the door, peered my head around the door and saw what was left of Nate on the floor. 'Oh my god Nate' I exclaimed. I pulled him up on his bed as he groaned. 'What the hell happened?' I asked whilst examining his injuries. He was covered in blood and cuts. He was obviously to weak to speak so I stopped asking questions. 'I don't want to hand you in because you'll get expelled but I have to clean you up and it might sting but trust me'. The whole night I was cleaning him up and making sure he was comfortable. Thankfully I had managed to put the lock back on his door. I left him to sleep and I brought in my mattress and slept beside him that night. The next morning I woke up to Nate trying to sit himself up. 'Woah, woah take it easy!' I jumped up and helped him. 'Annabel? What are you doing here?' he looked confused. 'I've been here since last night, I found you on the floor, you looked close to dead so I cleaned you up' I said softly. He looked at his chest and arms which were covered in bandages and bandaids. 'Fuck sake, what have I done?' He rubbed his temples. 'Yes please inform me what the hell happened and who did this to you?' I said in a angrier tone. He grabbed my hand and looked into my eyes and it felt weird for a minute. 'You can not tell nobody about this Annabel, I deserved this okay? I was being smart with one of them then 6 of them chased me here and bust in and then I blacked out'. I had to realisation they must of knocked him unconscious and continued to hurt him that's why I hadn't heard him. I looked down at all of his injuries and felt over his worst ones on his arms and chest. I shook my head 'I'm telling Mrs Kelmes, you can't stop me Nate it's for your safety. They'll only come back and do worse!' I got up to leave and Nate grabbed my arm. 'If you leave now, I will never forgive you!' he said in a serious tone. I got up and as I was closing the door I turned and said 'Hate me forever I don't care but I am not keeping a secret that could get you hurt'
