Notes (Nathan Sykes fanfic)

Chapter 8

Chapter 8

We didn't get a chance to talk to Nathan or any of the others as the concert wasn't finished till about quarter to 11 so I had to get home and I wasn't going to start waiting around for them because I would only end up staying around for ages too long. I walked the majority of the way with Charlotte until she had to turn off on her way home.

'See you soon! I'll text you!' She said happily. She turned around to leave when she suddenly had a look of realisation on her face. 'Oh my god I almost forgot I was supposed to give you this!' There was an obvious tone of excitement in her voice. She took out a small slip of paper, some numbers were scrawled on it.

'What is that?' I quickly asked.

'Calm down!' She laughed as I tried to take the piece of paper.

'Sorry' I muttered.

'I want you to use this wisely okay, like I said you have a chance' my heart stopped, was that?

'It's Nathan's number, he asked me to give it to you' she smiled at me almost with a hint of proudness. I was screaming in my head, he actually does like me. I was so shocked that I almost forgot to take it as she tried handing it to me.

'Oops sorry,' I said quietly taking it from her.

'Have fun' I was sure she was about to try winking again but she stopped herself and just giggled as she walked off. I smiled looking at the note, it wasn't written in Charlotte's handwriting so it must have been written by Nathan. His handwriting was awful, I laughed to myself as I placed it into my clutch bag.

I woke up on Friday morning, the sun was shining through the curtains and I felt a sense of happiness rush through me. A sense that today was going to be a good day. I got ready for school, pondering whether I should text Nathan this morning or what till after school was over, I decided that I couldn't wait so I keyed in his number and started to write a text. I didn't want to sound desperate however desperate I honestly was cause I was certain he didn't feel the same way as I did yet so I decided on a quick and simple 'hey :) x' would suffice. It may seem as though I was over thinking this but it felt like such a big deal to me.

I sent the message and immediately I began to panic, thinking up a number of desperately unlikely however altogether possible replies that Nathan could choose to send. I was worrying myself and ruining my mood a little so I tried my best to forget about it as I left for school. I heard a faint beeping in my pocket as I was walking which caused my heart to skip a beat. It had to be Nathan. I had a strange sensation in my stomach as I took out my phone to read the message, my hands were clammy and I became apprehensive as if my life depended on what I was about to read.

'Hey babe, this is Sophie right? Xx' I almost choked on the air, is that even possible? I physically couldn't stop smiling at the message, babe, he called me babe. For a moment I had a feeling of disbelief as I just stood there looking at it, at this rate I was going to be late for school but I didn't care. I quickly typed

'Yeah xx' in reply sending the message and carrying on my walk. Just as I arrived at school another text came through.

'Ring me babe? Xx' I swear my heart nearly stopped. I barely managed to reply

'I'll call you to tonight! Xx' from the shock of the message. I wouldn't call him before school, I couldn't.

I'd tried talking myself out of it over that last few days, tell myself that I was just a teenager with feelings that were out of my control and just part of life but he was different to how I'd ever felt before, this didn't feel like a crush, like something I would get over in a month, it felt like more than that. At every mention of his name my heart would race and I'd feel weird emotions. It's funny what people can do to you, when their every move, every word can have an effect on you, almost always an effect so much greater than any of it ever has on them. When you remember what they say to you and take every word of it to heart, treasuring the good things and constantly stressing over the bad. You only really know how it feels when it happens to you, when your emotions take over and everything you do is driven by your intense feelings for that other person.

I think I'm in love
