Almost is Never Enough, A Wanted Fanfic

Chapter 24

*5 MONTH LATER*

NATHAN'S POV

I had to tell them. It was now or never. I wasn't sure how to start. They were all talking. We were around Siva's table. I wasn't sure what to they were so I just blurted out, "It's Ariana."

They stopped talking, and Max asked, "What's Ariana?"

I tried my best to not cry, and it took all my effort to calmly say, "I might have messed up a little," now all the boy's eyes were glued on me.

"What happened," Tom set his phone down on the table.

 I bit the inside of my cheek to keep the tears back, "So it all really started last week..."

ARIANA'S POV

Amanda rubbed my back as I continued to sob into my hands. I felt the tears stream down my cheeks and I knew my makeup was ruined. Amanda calmly said, "It's going to be alright. We are going to figure out what to do and what's best."

I sucked in a breath, "It's not going to be okay. It is the farthest thing from being okay." Was she crazy. She had to be.

"Don't worry, sweetie. There are plenty of options, its just a matter of finding the right one."

I wiped under my eyes, "What am I going to do? He isn't talking to me right now and thinks that I, that I-" I started to cry again. I had absolutely no idea what to do. This all started 2 months ago, we were sitting on Nathan's couch back in the UK:

He wrapped his arms around me, "I don't want to do it if you aren't ready." I wrapped my arms around his stomach and rested my head on his shoulder.

"I know that you want to so don't say that you don't," I said. I was frustrated, maybe not frustrated, but it was something like that.

"Ari, don't say that please," He tightened his grip around me, "I want it to be special since it will be our first time together." Our first time, I felt my cheeks blushed. I loved Nathan and we had waited about 7 months now. But still I don't know why I was so nervous. It wasn't my first time nor his. But I was still, I don't know. I didn't want our whole relationship to hinge on this one act.

What if it wasn't what we expected or as magical as we dreamed it would be? I didn't want to lose Nathan. He was mine and I was his. "Baby?" He broke into my thoughts.

"I'm ready Nathan, it's just that I don't want this to make or break the relationship."

"I know what you mean love, and I promise it won't because at the end of the day, I love you and that's all that matters." I seriously didn't think he knew what I meant, but I wasn't going to argue with him on that fact.

I wiped another tear from my eye thinking about it. The thought of the night filled with love and passion, a month ago. Nathan had promised that it would be alright and it would be special. He kept his promise because it was one of the best night of my life, and now I felt very close to him, closer then before. I grabbed the locket that was around my neck. He gave it to me that night. I pulled it closer to my heart because I wanted to keep that memory forever.

I wished that I could just go back to that night, that moment was perfect. I let out another sob, what had happened? I knew what happened, and I hated it. Three weeks ago and a little over a month we did it, is where all this really started. Nath was staying at my house. I hadn't been feeling well for that past week either.

He held my hair up and away from the toilet. I emptied all the contents from my stomach into the toilet. He rubbed my back and gently said, "There you go. That's better right? Let's go get you some juice and maybe a few crackers." He put his hands under my arms and gently stood me up. I gripped him tightly as he led me to the kitchen.
