Almost Is Never Enough

Chapter 49

You exited the car and went inside the house, waiting for the interview to be put up. Nathan passed you in the hallway and you exchanged a cool glance. Suddenly, he grabbed your hand and held it before letting go and walking away. You couldn't help but feel horrible. You didn't want him to feel this way. You sat down on Jay's bed with your head in your hands.

"Hey babe," Jay said, walking into the room. "You feeling alright?" He asked, sitting down next to you.

"Yeah. I'm fine..." You said.

Jay's phone then lit up. "They posted it..." Jay said, holding your hand. "We'll see these tweets...together."

You smiled at him. "Thank you." You then unlocked your phone and read through the tweets.

"Aww that's too cute!"

"Omg the cake haha."

"Adorable<3."

"Jay, they like us!!!" You said, pulling him in quickly for a big hug. You then saw one particular tweet.

"You often can't do anything but sit back and watch as things spiral out of your hands. But that's what love is."

Your hand flew over your mouth at how sweet that one tweet was. It was also really sad too; the fact that sometimes love does fly away. You looked at who tweeted it and almost cried. It was Nathan.

You eventually started crying. Jay pulled you into a hug as you cried into his chest. All of your emotions were building up again, and you released it in tears. "Hey robot," Jay said, tenderly and jokingly, "your eyes are leaking." You just continued to cry into him.

"Love, I thought you would be happy. They like us together." Jay said. You didn't respond, just read some more tweets.

"It's great that she and Jay are happy...it just doesn't feel right since it's at Nath's expense." Was one tweet.

You showed it to Jay. He wrapped his arms around you and kissed your forehead. "Don't worry love, they'll all eventually like us. It'll happen soon, just give it time." Jay whispered.

"It's just...this is all really hard on Nath." You whispered.

"I know, and honestly I don't know what we could do to help him," Jay said. He hugged you and you leaned your head against his chest. You both continued to look through the tweets. Most of them were positive...others not so much.

"I hope you die for doing that to Nath. Who's to say you won't do the same to Jay?"

You turned your phone off at that one. You just couldn't look anymore. "Shhh babe it's okay," Jay said.

"I just wish there were something I could do for Nathan. He's done so much for me and now that he's hurt...I feel as though I have to do something." You said.

Jay tried to think of something to help you help Nathan. "Maybe we can throw a big party for him?" Jay suggested.

"I don't know. I was thinking something more personal..." You said. You suddenly thought of something.

"Somebody's got something! Tell me." Jay said.

You grinned. "How familiar are you with Stevie Wonder?"

"Very!" Jay said excitedly.

"Well...he is Nathan's favorite artist. Maybe if we could get him to make a video for Nath?" You said.

Jay's eyes widened and he pulled you in for a big hug. "That would mean the world to him."

"Let's make it happen then!" You said.
