Part Twenty-Three

As Crissi and I chatted, she got me laughing and made me forget about Nate. That was until my phone started to ring. I pulled it out of my pocket and looked at the screen, it was Nate. “Who is it?” Crissi asked me, “Nate” I sighed, “Answer it, he still loves you” she said, but he cheated and lied to me about it! I thought, I sighed and answered it, “What?” I asked “I’ve done something bad, I didn’t mean it, it just happened, tell Crissi I’m so sorry. I didn’t mean to do it, I love you Jaz” he said before hanging up. “Wait, what do you mean Nate?” I asked but he’d already hung up on me and all I was getting was beeping then nothing. “What’s wrong?” she asked me, “I don’t know but he told me to tell you he’s sorry and he didn’t mean to do it” I said before realising Dan had gone to talk to him, “Daniel!” I said before jumping up and grabbing my bag, followed by Crissi.

When we got to Nate’s he wasn’t anywhere to be found. “Nate!” I shouted before hearing Crissi cry for help. I found her in the kitchen knelt down by Daniel. “Shit, here’s my phone” I said to her throwing my phone to her before running up the stairs to see if he was in the bedroom. I found him in the corner crying. “You prick!” I screamed at him throwing a framed photo of the two of us at him. “He’s okay isn’t he?” he whispered. “I don’t know, Crissi’s scream for help sounded not okay!” I shouted, “He’s like a big brother to me Nathaniel and you hurt him, half the time I don’t even know why I’m with you!” I continued. “You don’t mean that, please tell me you don’t mean it” he said as he hugged my legs. I sighed, “I’m being serious Nate, no matter how much I love you, my friends are my family” I said getting his arms off me and went downstairs to see Crissi was waiting for me, “The paramedics have him” she said, “Go, I’ll get a taxi” I said, Crissi nodded before heading outside to join her husband.

We waited on news on Daniel in the waiting room, “He’s going to be okay, Nate just doesn’t know how to channel his anger” I said. Crissi looked at me, “He tried to punch me, remember?” I said, she nodded, “He needs help” she whispered “I agree with you” I said. “He’s your boyfriend” “You’re my best friend, so is Dan” I said as a nurse walked in and told us about Dan’s condition.

I stood outside leaning against the banister before hearing footsteps behind me. “He’s okay isn’t he?” it was Nate. I turned to look at him, “Considering you pushed him and made him bang his head against the floor, I’ll let you think about it” I said walking off, “Are you finishing with me?” Nate called after me. I sighed, “I don’t know, but whatever Daniel decides, I’m sorry Nate, but I’m taking his side” I said as I continued to walk back into the hospital.

I sat in the waiting room and noticed Nate had followed me. “If I was where he was, I wouldn’t want to see you” I said, “He’s like my brother, and yes I hurt him…” “You beat him up Nate because you’ve been drinking, it’s 1 in the afternoon” I said, “I’m angry at myself, I know I shouldn’t have lied to you” “You think! You promised me Nate and you gave me your word, but you went back on it and it hurts; how you feel if I went out with my friends, got drunk and snogged some guy and I promised you I wouldn’t look at another guy, that’s how I feel!” I said as Crissi walked in, as soon as she saw Nate she started to hit him. “You bastered!” she screamed, “Crissi!” I said as I pulled her off of him, “Crissi look at me, look at me” I said holding on to her face, “He hurt my husband and you’re talking to him!” she yelled, “He won’t leave me alone, deep breaths, think of the baby Crissi” I said soothing her the best I could. She listened to me and took three deep breaths before sitting down. “Wait what baby?” Nate asked, “She’s pregnant, she only just told me when I picked them up from the airport” I said as I sat next to her and rubbed her back as Nate walked out of the waiting room.

I woke up to someone lightly shaking me, I opened my eyes and noticed Crissi, “You fell asleep” she said, I smiled as I sat up, “How’s Dan?” I asked her, “He’s okay, the nurses are injecting him adrenalin boosters to see if he’ll wake up” she said handing me a sandwich, “It’s 9.30 at night, thought you’d be hungry” she said, “What about you?” I asked her, “I’ve already eaten” she said smiling. I smiled back as I noticed a nurse coming into the room…
