Stupid Love

July 2nd

Seeing as its summer now and I have no Nate Simmons around to keep me entertained; I'm lying on my bed, gazing upon the dull and tedious white ceiling above me. 'Oh how I wish Nate lived here' I thought to myself. Everyone else I know is out with their boyfriends/girlfriends or best friends enjoying the freedom from school and the beautiful sunshine, whilst I stay inside feeling sorry for myself. It wasn't that I didn't get invited out places with other people that I knew; I just didn't want to go without Nate. When I'm out without him something bad always happens such as; this one time I got drunk and ended up laying on the cold pavement outside the club unable to even ring anyone because I could not see what I was doing. The rest of that night was really a blur for me, I'm glad it is though because I probably did a vast amount of activities I would regret if I remembered them.

At around 14:30 I decided it was probably wise of me to get up; get dressed and eat before my step-dad started an argument about how I never do anything and waste my days in my room. When I finally forced myself down the stairs none of my family was around. 'Fabulous' I thought, I got ready for nothing! Annoyed and lonely about my family leaving me without saying a word, I walked towards the kitchen to prepare a grilled cheese sandwich for myself, here is where I found a small note attached to the fridge that my mum had written for me... 'Hey Al, when you finally get up you'll realise we aren't here, we've taken your brother Tom away for the week. Don't miss us too much! Mum x'. I stood there so angry with my family for going on a surprise week away without even asking me if I wanted to go!

I continued cooking my food and picked up my phone; scrolled down to Nate's name and pressed call. Nate usually picks up straight away or after two rings, so when he didn't this time I felt even angrier. 'Why is it when I need him he's never around but I'm always here for him? Argh!' I said under my breath and hung up the phone. By this stage I wasn't even hungry anymore and decided to leave my grilled cheese for later and went back to the sitting room where I decided to watch LOL the movie, this was one of my all time favourite movies.

Whilst I was watching LOL I felt my phone starting vibrate under my leg, I lifted it up, the screen read 'Nate calling Accept or Decline?' I was so temped to decline him because I was still super angry from earlier but I accepted.

"Hey A, what's up?" Nate said once I'd accepted.

"Don't you dare hey A me! This is a good 2 hours after I called you and you didn't pick up!" I growled at him.

"Wow, what's wrong with you today my pretty gal?" Nate replied in a concerned yet sarcastic way.

"Look at you trying to act all sweet now... Anyway I'm so angry right now, my mum and Glenn (My step-dad) have taken Tom on a surprise week's holiday and never even mentioned it to me!! Oh and also I miss you but what's new with that... I live my life missing you." I replied.

"So you're lonely and angry is that what you're trying to tell me here?" He asked.

"I guess you could say that, when you back?" I mumbled back.

"Well my girl... that's the thing..." he said in a mysterious way.

"You're not coming back are you? Nate don't do this, please!" I begged through the tears that had now started to fill up my eyes.

"I'm only joking you moron, it was meant to be a surprise but I'll be home tonight, Hence why I didn't answer you 2 hours ago.. Airplanes don't hold he best signal you know! So you better be ready and looking pretty by eight tonight or I'll look like a sad loner attending dinner by myself" He replied excitedly.

'What?! Are you serious?! Nate, I can't believe this!! How long you back for this time? Are you busy this week?' I asked all these questions at high speed i'm surprised he kept up with them all.

"I am serious Alex! As far as I am aware I'm back for good this time, I'll explain why later when I see you though. As for being busy this week well I mean so many girls will obviously want my attention considering I'm so hot and they just can't keep their hands off me... Nah I'm joking, I'm not busy at all!" he said whilst laughing.

"For good? OH MY WORD, I'm so happy!! We both already know the girls love you..." I said with happiness although the last part made me feel a little uneasy. I wonder why? I've never had feelings for Nate, like never ever!

"Right my gorgeous friend I must go and catch my plane here, see you later at eight!" He said in a hurried tone.

"Bye Nate" I replied with before hanging up the phone.

Once I'd hung up the phone I returned to watching my movie, whilst thinking to myself about how cute the story line was, 'like how can someone be in love with their best friend? That's just super awkward if they break up! Like I would never be in love with Nate, I couldn't even start to picture us together' I thought to myself. Although as the movie got closer to the end I started to think about how I felt when he mentioned about all the girls loving him... Why did I feel saddened by this statement? I knew I didn't have feelings for, I never did and I'm sure if I did they'd be gone by now; seeing he's been away for what feels like a decade, even though it's really only been six months. I guess I'll just have to wait and see what happens when he turns up at my door tonight... That's bound to show me I have no feelings for him at all!

Right I need to stop thinking of this ridiculous nonsense and go upstairs and shower, I'm so excited to see Nate again!

Time for the small authors section, you probably don't care about...

What's your thoughts? Does Alex have feelings for Nate or does she just miss him? What's going to happen when he arrives back? Will he have to leave again or actually be back for good? so many things could happen!

Updates will either be short or infrequent because my exam is soon and important coursework is due!
