Brokenhearted

Chapter 6

Chapter 6

            "Meg, wait up!" I called out to Megan and ran over to her, realizing that she was avoiding me. I grabbed her by her arm, saying, "We need to talk." "What's there left for you to say when you've already made it so clear that you're dating Jay?" She snapped.

           "It doesn't seem like what you think, Meg. We're not dating." I said firmly. "Then what does linking arms and giving him a peck on the cheek mean?" she crossed her arms, giving me that pissed look.

           "Well, Jay is my 'on-and-off boyfriend' I smiled sheepishly. "What? What in the world is that?" Megan looked at me, confused. "We're just acting to make Nathan feel bad, but I didn't know that you actually like Jay!" I reasoned.

            Megan looked at me trying to make out whether I was lying or not. At least she looked like she was more convinced by my words now. "So... You guys are really acting?" she asked me, uncertain.

           "Yes, Officer Paris" I said. "No one would dare snatch a policewoman's boyfriend or she would be thrown behind bars for years" I chuckled. "Hey! It's not funny!" Megan pouted. "He's not my boyfriend!" she whined.

           "But you like him!" I exclaimed. "None of that sort!" Megan tried lying through her teeth. "Not when I've got this!" I giggled, holding my phone which contained the picture of Megan staring at Jay during the entire History lesson.

            "HEY!" she yelled. "GIVE THAT TO ME!" she screamed, trying to snatch my phone from me. "Too bad, Madam. You're shorter than me!" I smirked. "Try snatching it if you can!" I tried running away from her as fast I could. Just before I knew it, I bumped into something hard but soft.

            "Oh my gosh I'm so sorry!" I exclaimed, rubbing my head trying to stop the throbbing pain at the same time. "Hmm it's fine are you okay?" I felt him help me up carefully. I stared into those emerald green eyes of his and realized that it was Nathan whom I had bumped into.

            "Erm sorry" I said awkwardly before turning around. "Caitlyn, wait!" Nathan grabbed me by my wrist. "Erm yeah?" I asked. "I'm really really...erm...sorry-for-what-I've-done-all-these-years-can-you-please-don't-ignore-me-I-feel-really-bad" he spilled all his words so quickly.

           "English please?" I giggled at his failed attempt to apologize. "Oh hehe" he scratched his head. "I just wanted to say sorry" he said, putting his hand on mine. "Will you forgive me?" he said slowly. I could see the fear in his eyes, afraid that I would reject his apology.

          "Give me a reason to say no" I giggled and gave him a hug. I was amazed at what I had done; but for once I felt safe in his arms, instead of the feelings of fear and anxiety I used to have when I was around him.

Nathan's POV

          Wow, I didn't see that coming. I didn't expect Cait to actually have the courage to embrace me in a hug. Cait was such a nice girl, how did I even have the heart to bully her? I locked my gaze on her, scanning those beautiful dark brown eyes of hers. She looked so innocent; so perfect. I always feel as though my world has come to a stop whenever I'm around her. I don't know why I'm feeling this way, is it because I'm falling for her?

          No it can't be. Nathan James Sykes, you have no right to fall for Cait because you are a beast. You don't deserve her. You made her life hell during high school. You don't deserved to be forgiven by her. You're just lucky that she's soft-hearted enough to even think of putting the past behind her. Dream on, Sykes. You'll never get her." a tiny voice echoed at the back of my head. Yes, it was all my fault for causing her to be scarred for life. I don't deserve her, I tried convincing myself.

          "Erm I think it's time for class" I interrupted the long silence between us. "Oh yeah, I forgot about it" Caitlyn answered awkwardly, before continuing, "I guess I'll see you later then" she gave me a weak smile before walking away.

          "No Cait, wait!" I called out to her and spun her around, planting a soft and passionate kiss on her lips. She hugged my waist and gave in to the kiss. After a few minutes, I pulled away and looked deep into her eyes before saying, "You have no idea how much you mean to me, Cait. I know I was wrong in the past but will you give me a chance to make it up to you?", hoping that she would not reject me.

           "If you did love me, then why did you bully me?" she questioned me with uncertainty in her eyes. "Like I said in the letter, I did all of those horrible stuff to convince myself that you weren't good enough for me. However, I was wrong. I couldn't get you out of my head all these while and I really regret treating you so badly. You must be thinking why I didn't stop bullying you even though I felt really guilty. Well, I was selfish. I only used you to get popular with Ashkay's gang. For your sake, I am willing to leave the gang right now and prove to you that I will never hurt you again and protect you from any harm. Will you give me a chance to make up for my mistakes?" I tensed up, waiting for the 'moment' to come.

          "Yes" she nodded and gave me the widest smile that she has ever had. I picked her up and spun her around. I've never felt so triumphant in my life before.

          "I think that's enough, Nathan. I'm feeling dizzy." Caitlyn admitted. "Oops sorry" I blushed. "Got too carried away, I guess" I smiled like an idiot. "I love you, Nathan" Caitlyn hugged me tightly. "I love you even more" I whispered in her ear and stroked her hair gently.

Okay guys so thanks for reading ;) Will try updating Chapter 7 or maybe more by tomorrow :P
