Nathan's Fake Girlfriend ✓

Chapter 11

I turned to look at him a bit strangely.

He looked into my eyes pleadingly. As if I was under a spell, I nodded and took a deep breath.

I started to play why not me by Enrique Iglesias again.

Then I started to sing. I've never sung in front of anyone.

I'm sure I'm going to regret this.

Escaping nights without you.
With shadows on the walls.
My mind is running wild,
Trying hard not to fall.

You tell me that you love me.
But say I'm just a friend.
My heart is broken up,
Into pieces cause I know.
You'll never free my soul.

It's trapped in between true love and being alone.
When my eyes are closed.
The greatest story told.
I woke and my dreams are shattered here on the floor.

Tell me baby, why oh why
Tell me why not me?
Why oh why when it's meant to be.
Baby, I know, I can, be all you need.

Why oh why oh why.

The day after tomorrow,
I'll still be around.
To catch you when you fall,
And never let you down.

You say that we're forever.
Our love will never end.
I've tried to come up,
But it's drowning me to know.

I stopped there as regret started to knot up my stomach.

"That was beautiful." He said as he nuzzles his face into my neck.

As soon as he did that, I froze. My eyes widened and my breathing increased.

He seemed to notice because he froze as well.

Ring. Ring. Ring.

Saved by the bell. I thought as I laughed awkwardly and quickly sat up and grabbed my bag then dashed out of the room.

I sped walked to my next class and quickly took a seat.

What was that? Why would he act as if we are a couple even when no one was watching?

It makes sense. What was that back there? What was the point of that? What would he gain from that?

I couldn't pay attention in the rest of my classes.

On the walk home I pondered everything that happened during lunch over and over again.

By the time I got home I was too drained from the previous events and from thinking so much.

Yeah, I really need a shower and some sleep.

____30 minutes later____

I collapsed on my bed as soon as I got dressed and screamed into my pillow.

What am I even doing anymore?

I decided to turn on the TV and watch some Netflix to get my mind off of everything.

As I'm watching the movie The Space Between Us, my phone vibrates.

I let out a inhumane groan and then reached for my phone.

666-666-6666
Yo, there's this party that my bro is hosting tomorrow. As my girlfriend, you gotta be my date.

Who does he think he is?

I rolled my eyes and quickly typed in a quick 'fuck off' and went back to my movie.

Vibrate vibrate.

Pausing the beautiful movie once more, I reached for my phone.

666-666-6666
Great. I'll pick you up 9 tomorrow.

*Slam*

My head quickly jolted up to my closed door and my heart started to rapidly beat.

I threw the covers off of my body, snatched my phone from my bed and quickly ran into my bathroom.

"Jaaadddeee." Jerry slurred from down the hall.

I need to hide in here and keep quiet.

I quickly locked the bathroom door and opened the cabinet that's under the bathroom sink.

I sat on the bottom board then craned my neck down and then pulled my feet in so my chin was resting in between my knees.

I pulled on the cabinet door and closet it all the way.

"Jade!" Jerry said in a low voice and knocked on my bedroom door.

He started to bang on my bedroom door, which I always leave locked in case he decides to come at me again. My heart beat rang in my ears and my breathing got heavier.

My focus went straight to trying to get my breathing even. If I get too anxious I'll start wheezing. He would hear the wheezing if I do. A few seconds passed and then a loud crash echoed through the room.

My eyes widened as I stared into the darkness, scared for my life.
