*NATHAN SANDERS*

I kissed her. I fucking kissed her. And it was the best damn kiss of my life. I look down at her flushed face and see that she's smiling. Then she does this cute thing where she crinkles her nose slightly. "Soooo I wanted to talk to you about something.." I break the ice.

She raises her eyebrows. "Uh okay?"  We awkwardly sit up and I scratch the back of my neck.

"Look.. Ava.. I've been going to the-" her phone rings out of nowhere. She holds up her finger and answers it.

"Hi Joshie!" Of course it's him. He always interrupts. "Yes, everything's fine." She gets up and glances at me as if she's telling me to just hold on one more minute. She walks away and holds the phone closer to her ear.

You know what? Screw this. Screw waiting around for her. If she really wanted to know she wouldn't let mindless things like "Joshie" get in the way. I take one glance back at her as she twirls her fingers in her hair. Of course she loves him. Of course. I shake my head and look the other way. Then I push past the doors and walk to my car and drive off.

That mother trucker left me. At the gym. Who the hell does he thinks he is? I knew he would pull some stupid shit like this. He's Nathan Sanders, what did I expect? How could I expect anything less from him?

I pick my phone back up and call Joshie. He doesn't answer. I try three more times and he still doesn't. Great. Just great. So I call Maya. Oh joy. She answers.  "Hey, what's up!" She asks happily.

I sigh. "Uh, can you come get me from the gym? I just got ditched." She doesn't even hesitate to say yes.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

I'm sitting in Maya's car and all of a sudden she turns to me. "Hey Aves?"

"Hm?"

"I really like this guy and I'm not sure whether I should tell him or not." I look over at her kind of pissed. We're getting close to my house, I wait until she pulls up to it.

"It didn't look like you needed much help 'telling' him earlier." I snap and before she can say anything, I get out the door and slam it shut, practically running up to my house.

*NATHAN SANDERS*

I wake up and I can't breathe. I start gasping for air and trying to hit the blue button on my bed side table. I can't reach it. And I can't breathe. I struggle, grabbing at my throat. I'm not sure what to do. I hear the light come on from downstairs and here my mom come rushing up them. She rolls me over onto my stomach and proceeds to call 911. I pass out before the ambulance gets there.

I'm laying in bed and listening to music. Trying to fall asleep is the hardest thing for me. All I can think about is him. Touching me. Holding me. Then... Then raping me and leaving me on the cold hard floor crying..

But then I think of Nate and his long luscious hair and that smile that always seems to be so contagious. I think of how he kissed me tonight and how I tried to stop it but it didn't work. But then again, he was an ass after that. He fucking ditched me. I can't be falling for him again. Not again. I mean come on. That kiss couldn't have been real. It couldn't have been... But then again.. Did it really happen?
