Making Me Smile (Damon Fizzy Story)

Chapter 31, Cheaters Never Prosper

Being with Nate was actually really fun. He treated me like a princess, never once hurt me physically, and whenever I wanted to talk, he'd listen.

I had told him about Damon and every feeling I had for him but Nate was okay with it. We talked about how when he first met Amanda, he fell in love with her. They had dated for 3 year until she realized that she was a lesbian and immediately began dating Hayley.

Telling him about the date I had with Damon the night he asked me out was a little hard because it meant I was confessing a wrong on my part, something I never really did because I was always the innocent one.

Nate was mad, and I remember cowering in the corner ready to be hit, but instead of hitting me like I was expecting him to, he gave me a hug. "You don't do that now, right?" He had asked.

"No. Damon is completely out of my life." And for once, that was true.

His number was out of my phone, every picture we had burned, the videos we posted deleted, blocked and unfollowed on my Twitter, as well as my Instagram and Tumblr.

"Hey Samm?" Nate asked me from the foot of my bed. I looked up from my English homework to see Nate with a confused look on his face.

"What's up dude?"

"I love you. You know that right?"

My heart began beating in my chest. Wasn't it a little too early to be saying the 'I love you's?

"Awe, thank you." I said. I wasn't going to say it to him unless I truly meant the words coming out of my mouth. I wanted Nate to be the one and I wanted everything to be perfect. I wouldn't let myself screw things up twice.

I wouldn't.

"Aren't you supposed to say something back?" He asked.

I shoved my stuff off of my bed and curled up to him.

"Nate, you know I do but I'm not going to say it yet."

He moved away from me to look at me like I was crazy.

"Why not? What's holding you back?"

"I want to know that I truly love you before I say it. I don't want to screw things up again."

"Well, congrats, because you just did." Nate stormed out of my room and slammed the door. I pulled at my hair and closed my eyes in frustration.

What did I do?! Sorry that I wasn't totally sure that I was in love with him?

I groaned before going to the kitchen.

"What was that?" Evan asked from the couch.

"Screwed something up again like usual." I mumbled. I went to my fridge and grabbed a bottle of water. Uncapping it, I sat down next to Evan. We stared at the TV in silence before Evan turned to me.

"Hey, are you okay Samm? You look a little sick."

"Nah, I'm okay. Nothing to worry about."

To be honest, the past few days I have been feeling really sick. I wasn't pregnant because there weren't any penises going in me. I was probably just getting a cold. I normally got them around this time of year anyways.

Days had passed since Nate talked to me. The only time we talked was when we were forced to be partners in Photography and Chem.

I didn't even try to talk to him because I didn't even know what I had said?! He was just being a dick and I didn't like it one bit.

'Crushcrushcrush' by Paramore was playing in my ears whilst I took my photography test. Nate was nowhere to be found, Hayley was next to me, and Amanda wasn't here either.
