Story Part 11

I slam the door open and rush through the house and down the hallway towards his room. Earlier I got a call from Mark saying that something terrible had happen to Nate. I rush through the kitchen, and then down the hallway. Finding Nate's door ajar I rush in and yell "What Happened!" I look around frantic and see there is no blood so thats a good sign but then I see a Nate lying face down on his bed, breathing thank god. I look at a worried yet amused Mark sitting on the edge of his bed. "What happened?" I repeat again.

"I think I broke him"

"What do you mean by you think you broke him?"
"All I did was tell him the truth."

"What did you tell him?"
"That in a book that he's reading the main character dies." He starts to laugh again and I can't help it as well. I start loosing it laughing "Nate really, thats why you're sad," I sit on the bead and grab one of his pillows and hit him on the head with it. Mark gets up and leaves the room shutting the door because he's laughing too much. I only just notice now that Nate has turned onto his side and is now looking at me with a genuine, warm, loveable smile on his face. "What?" I ask confused.

"You laughed."

"And?"

"I like your laugh, its beautiful and you also smiled which in my opinion just made all my sadness melt away."

I blush and shove a pillow in his face and laugh a little bit "You goof, don't get too sad on the death." I get up and begin to walk out but than I hear Nate say "Can you smile for me at least once every day or even laugh for me one a day?" I turn around and say happily "I will smile for you, but its a no for the laughing because you already used your favour of the year." I walk out and hear him shout "I want to change my favour!"

"Too late buddy." I hear him laugh and start to get up so I move to my room across the hall and lay on my bed.
