Truly Beautiful

Four: Light At the End of the Tunnel

My heart pounded as I shook my head. "Sir there is no need for that really." I said trying to convince him to not send me to jail. Me and the bar owner bicker for about whether or not to send me to jail. "Ok how about no. She actually started it." I said the the bar owner.

"Really, that's all you have to say" said a voice that wasn't the owners. I looked behind he and saw Nash. "Its ok Julian I can take her home and you can forget all about this, ok?" So his name is Julian.

"Fine but you owe me Nash." and Julian walked away. "You." Nash said pointing at me. "Lets go." and so I did.

We got it to the car and he wasted no time on driving.

"Where are we going?" I asked, not really caring if he answers.

"Your place."

"Ok, so why did you save me back there. I mean it's not like we left on greatest terms last time I saw you." I said actually caring this time. I mean come on, if it was me I wouldn't have done the same. Yes you would have, a little voice told me.

"I know what's wrong with your sister, and I herd what Brianna said. Even if a person was rude to me I personally don't like hearing that someone don't punished because they stuck up for there family." He said looking over at me catching my eyes. They were green-blue. His hair was lifted in the front, and right then all I wanted to do was tangle my hands in it and kiss him. Shit! No, no not again! Hell no I'm not doing this again! Even though I was thinking that he looked away first, witch was probably a good thing since he was driving.

I rested my head in the window for a little till I herd my stomach grumble. Nash looked at me and smiled, and put on his blinkers.

"Where are we going now?" I asked looking over at him.

"Well your hungry, and I'm not the type asshole to ignore that. We're going to I Hop." and before I knew it we were in I Hop parking lot.

We didn't really talk this much wile eating but it was nice. Nash was just paying the check and I watched him. Then something came to mind. "I'm sorry." I said.

He looked up and rolled his eyes. "For what"

"When I yelled at you for caring. I'm not used to that from someone but my family, Jenny, and Will. Also thank you for getting me out." I said smiling.

Nash returned the smile, "No problem sweetheart. Hey that's your nick name." He said. I could feel the heat rising to my face. Nash laughed and. took my hand and smiled again. And it is perf! Yelled my conscience. "Come on let's get you home, it's already twelve-thirty."

***********

"They locked me out." I said hopping back in Nash's car. When we got out of I Hop we went to my house, since I was out so late my family locked me out.

Nash put the car in reverse. "Then your coming to my place. Brandon is at Wills so it will be just us."

I was shocked but didn't say so.

We got to Nash 's house and I told him I needed to take a shower.

It didn't take me long to do so and when I got out I saw a long t-shirt and sweat pants on the bed. I put on the cloths and went down stairs and saw Nash with a bear in his hands and he was watching some weird movie. I sat down next to him, "What's wrong?" I asked with a lot of concern in my voice.

"My mom." he simply said taking a drink. He must have seen how I was confused because he spoke again. "She isn't on a business trip.....she died of stage one lung cancer a year ago."

I looked at him. his mom died at stage one Mi is at stage four. How can she survive when Nash 's mom couldn't.

I started to shake. My breath quickened. "I need to go to the bathroom." I said running to my purse, in there was my escape, my razor. Nash grabbed my wrist. "Let go." I said trying to pull away.
