Through it All

Chapter 3

Nate's POV:

I walk in to Arbor Elementary with my face set. I know I have to give some very bad news to my friend who has already been to hell and back, Cheyenne is the strongest woman I know, hell she is the strongest person I know. She has been through so much in her life. Then the truth hits me I have been such a shitty friend to her these last several months. I went from talking to her every day , to just checking in every couple of weeks, to not talking to her in over 2 months. I can only hope that she doesn't hate me.

I have distanced myself beause I really started to care for her. I finally admitted to myself that I love her and I have always said that I wasn't going to love anyone else. Why you might ask? because when you love someone, you allow them power over you and they can hurt you. I have been through that kind of pain with my ex-wife. Never again will I care for anyone else... that is what I told myself until I met Cheyenne. I never meant to let her get under my radar but she did somehow. A few years ago, we got really close and I felt like Robert was being a dick. All he could think about was himself and his feelings, he never once thought about Cheyenne and what she was going through, I'm glad I was able to help her through it by making her laugh when I knew she wanted to cry. She always has spot on advice when it comes to my "girlfriends" or as she liked to call them "flavor of the day". I know that she will always tell me the truth - even if it hurts.

She has a student with her so I just have to wait. I got to keep this face until I get her out of the school before I tell her. So if she does fall apart no one else will see it, that would be what she would worry aboout.  I have already called Mr. Brown her principal and told him what was going on. Now if I can just get her out without having to deal with Liz. I don't like her even if she is Cheyenne's best friend. She likes drama and gave Cheyenne a hard time when she had the leukemia scare and wasn't telling her but was talking to me. Liz accused me of trying to sleep with Cheyenne even though she was married. All I could do was laugh in her face,Cheyenne loves Robert with everything she has , that is why I dread what I have to tell her. I hate this part of my job!! I hate that I am going to tell the one person who I have grown to care about news that is going to destroy her.
