I Need Your Love (Nathan Sykes fanfic)

Chapter 17- High School

“Who said it’s my fault? I was the one who wanted to help them both!” I pick up a glass sitting on a table next to the couch and throw it against the wall. “Where the hell is this lady right now!?”

“She’s outside the building, here I’ll come with you. Just please try to not give us a bad reputation.” Nathan says then we walk outside to where the lady stands talking to the camera.

I put myself and Nathan in front of the camera . “Oh and it looks like we have Nathan here with us now. So Nathan how are you?” She asks sweetly.

“I’ve been better.” He mumbles to her, clearly upset.

“How well did you know this Rain girl? And how long have her and Jay been together?” I can tell by the way she needs gossip that she’s someone who interviews people for magazines, not the news.

“Well we only knew her for around 2 months but Ariana has known her since she was like 10.” He points over to me.

“Oh so you’re Ariana,” She starts, but I don’t let her finish.

“Yes, yes I am Ariana. And I just want to say that I was not responsible for either deaths. I was trying to help both of them when no one else would. And the boys would’ve helped Juley but they were too busy grieving over Rain’s death to see her hurting, but I did see it and I tried to help but she ran off before I could.” 

“And you have also been reported for running away from home, and that The Wanted took you away from your father Mike Faire.” She looks wickedly at me.

“No, no we’re not doing this. C’mon Air.” Nathan starts to pull me away.

“No! People have to know about him.” I look straight into the camera and say: “I am officially reporting Mike Faire for rape and abuse. I don’t care if you kill me anymore Mike, it’s better than me being tortured. He acts like the good guy, but he’s not. Rain Johns was the mother of his child, and I’m proof that he hurts people.” I start to laugh. “Y-you know what. I’ll just go and die. Yea, yea that’s what I’ll do. I know you’re watching me right now, I know that you’re watching this. You didn’t want me to tell anyone, but now I did. So come and get me.” I slowly stumble away; I most definitely look like a psychotic person right now.

“Air, you’re not gonna kill yourself, right?” I can tell Nathan’s going to start crying again. I shrug my shoulders, deciding if I will.

*

Well I guess I decided not to, because it’s been around 2 weeks since Rain’s death. Everyone now hates me, and somehow no one believed me when I revealed Mike’s true identity. All I’ve been getting on Twitter and Facebook is hate, and it makes the boys really pissed, which makes their fans hate me even more.

Today the boys are going back to work, and Nathan has forced me to go to high school. Yep, that’s right, high school. Since I’m still 18 I’m able to go to grade 12. Like I’ll really be able to handle it…

Currently I’m lying in bed, thinking about what could happen today. It’s going to be the beginning of the school year for everyone, so I guess that’s a plus. I hear Nathan start to quietly knock on my door, but after a little bit of me not answering he starts knocking more aggressively, then finally just barges in.

“C’mon Air, you don’t want to be late for the first day of school, do you?” He sits down next to me on the bed.

“Do I really have to go? What if I get bullied, I mean people probably know who I am; the psychotic bitch, and then there’s the whole everyone else being British. I mean it’s hard enough trying to understand what you and the boys are saying but an entire school? This should literally be counted as a method of torture.” He gives me a look that tells me he’s disappointed. “Must. Stay. Strong.” He continues to stare. “Fine!” I crack.

“Yay! Okay get ready, because we have to leave in 20 minutes.” He runs out of the room. I trudge to the bathroom then brush my teeth and comb out my hair. I skip having a shower because I don’t have much time. As always I wear a t-shirt, specifically a ‘The Script’ t-shirt, squeeze into a pair of skinny jeans, put on my teal converse, and to finish the look wear my favourite black hoddie.

I tie my hair back in a high pony tail and I’m finished so I wait in the living room. I takes Nathan an extra 10 minutes to get ready then it did for me. “Don’t forget your bag.” He throws a plain black backpack that I don’t remember getting. “I packed you a special lunch.”

“Oh great. Now I’m going to get food poisoning.” I smirk at him. He just shrugs me off and then before I know it we’re at my new high school.

“Have a great first day love. Don’t be too much of a trouble maker.” He smiles softly at me. “Right, one more thing.” He hands me a phone that is identical to the one I broke. “I put all of our numbers on it, so if you need to talk to someone just text one of us. And I put all of your favourite songs on it.”

“Thanks,” I lean over a kiss his cheek before getting out of the car. I pull my schedule out of my bag and then search for my locker. Where my locker should be is surrounded by a group of kids, who I assume or the ‘populars’. I stare at the group, if only looks could kill…

“You must be new.” A boy with an London accent says from behind me. I turn around and he is instantly shocked. “Oh, Ariana is it?” The boy has ashy brown hair, and gorgeous green eyes.

“Yep, pretty much. I’m the crazy American girl that thinks her step dad is a rapist. Oh and who apparently is at fault for 2 deaths, who could forget that?” I rudely say, but I'm not sure why.

“Hey, hey, don’t get snappy. Anyway I’ll probably be the only person that talks to you, no offence.” I shake my head. “So if you don’t mind me asking, why um are you…”

“Crazy? Well to sum it up just a bad life. Divorces, deaths, depression, many things. All things people think I fake. And the only family I have left are 5 idiots that are always busy. Plus my roommate is in love with me, but he cheated on me and I don’t even have my best friend anymore because she killed herself!” I fall to the ground sobbing.

“Oh gosh I’m so sorry.” He kneels down beside me.

“No, this always happens. I don’t get why Nathan made me go to school.” I look up to find what seems like the whole school staring at me. I stand up and run to the girls’ bathroom then lock myself in a stall. I find Nathan’s number in my phone and call him.

“Hello?” He picks up after the 3rd ring.

“Nathan, come and get me. I don’t want to be here. I-I can’t handle it.” I continue to cry.

“I’m sorry Air but I can’t, just try and stick it out.” He hangs up. I thought he was supposed to be there for me. I hear the clicking of heels on tile and see a pair of feet walk by me.

“So did you see that Ariana girl just now? She had this weird panic attack thing.” One girl says, and the other one snorts.

“Yea, just like always; she was being an attention seeking whore.” That makes me feel so good. “Did you hear that she tried to get with Nathan? And that they went out for like a week but she cheated on him.” I think they heard my crying because they click over to my stall and somehow open it.

“Oh, so this is Ariana? I can’t believe Nathan would like someone this ugly.” One girl sneers at me.

“I think we should teach her a lesson, don’t you agree?”

Sorry for how long this update took. My computer is being stupid, but it’s fine now :) So I hope you enjoyed
