When Heroes Rise

Addison

Everyone is everywhere. Bella didn't seem that annoyed, to tell you the truth. How that's possible is beyond me. Angel threw a freaking party in her house! But, you know, whatever. Fawn ran away. Kirsten went after Xander. Angie, Angel and Wren are helping to clean up, heads hanging low. Rose... I haven't seen her in a while.

"Hey, where are you going?" Bella asked.

"Everything's cleaned up right?" Well duh. I effin ran around the house and cleaned most of it since everyone practically left. "Plus. You don't need me." I said before I went out the door. I slowly walked down the streets admiring the vintage looking sky. I walked up the pathway up to the apartment. I quickly ran up the stairs and went to the door. I was just about to knock when the door opened.

"Hey." Nathan said softtly.

"Hey... Uh. How did you know I was gonna knock?" I asked.

"Instincts, I guess." We both stood at the door silently.

"So... can I come in?" He stepped aside as I walked into the apartment and sat down. He closed the door and came around to sit in the opposite chair. I looked at him puzzled. "Is something wrong?" I took in his posture and how he wasn't his smiling self. I walked over and sat down next to him. "Hello." I waved my hand in front of his face. He had a blank expression on. "Why. You. No. Talk." I started playing with his cheeks and he finally cracked a smile. "Come on. Tell me. What's wrong?"

"Just thinking." He went to staring down at his hands.

"Thinking about what?"

"Stuff."

What stuff?" I poked his cheek and he rolled his eyes.

"Stuff."

"Why you no tell meeeee." I started playing with his arms. He lightly chuckled. I started making weird noises that he found cute.

"I missed you." I stopped playing with his arms and looked at him. I then went back to playing with his arm.

"But it was only for a few days."

"It felt like an eternity. And you didn't let me come with you. You lied to me too." He ran a hand through his hair. I stopped playing with his arm and fidgeted with his hand.

"I'm sorry." I said quietly.

"You could've been hurt. And I wasn't there to protect you. What if you did get hurt? What would I have done? I couldn't have done anything because I didn't know where you were. And no, it wasn't a few days. To think of it, it was over two weeks. I've called you numerous amount of times. Look." He pulled out his phone and showed me his dialed numbers. I just remembered that Bella took our phones and electronics away since we were supposed to be training. I cursed under my breath. I Searched through my bag to find my phone sitting in a pocket. I saw I had 100+ missed calls.

"I'm sorry. I--"

"And the fact that you lied. You promised me you wouldn't go." He gave my hand a light squeeze.

"Some promises were meant to be broken."

"It's just. You got me worried, okay? If I would've lost you-- I don't even want to think about it. You know how much you mean to me right?" He held my hands in his as his eyes stared into mine. I nodded. "Please don't lie to me again." He brought my hands up to his lips and mumbled onto my knuckles.

"Promise."

"Promise?"

"Promise."
