Nathan Prescott x Reader

TWENTY EIGHT

You open your eyes to find yourself in Nathan's room, in his bed. You're still hugging his notebook to your chest. You sit up and sit the notebook down, it's evidence and the police will need it when they come to investigate so you have to leave it. It'll confirm Jefferson meeting you at the lighthouse...at least you think so. You stand up from the bed, you must of took a nap. You exit the room, closing the door behind you. You go back to Warren's room and get your shoes, you put them on and leave the dorm. You decide you need fresh air.

You walk to the fountain in front of the main building, sitting on the stone. You stare at the green grass in the campus before being tapped, you turn your head to Victoria.
"Please. I'm not in the mood to--" you begin

"No. no. I don't want to start anything." she sits beside you

"Thanks." you mumble

"So. He's really gone--It was on the news..They're looking for..Mr.Jefferson." she sighs

"Yeah."

"I can't imagine what it's like for you, you were..with him. You..saw..right?"

"yeah."

"His funeral..it's after tomorrow. I was invited but I want you to come with..his parents didn't get a chance to meet you so they didn't invite you. That's..sad...that you never got to meet them.."

"Okay. Thanks." there's not much for you to say, there's nothing you really want to say

"(Y/N) I think I should...give you this." she takes something out of her purse, a photo. She holds it tightly in her hands.

"What is it?" you look up at her

"a picture--" she tears off part of it "Of Nathan..he looks really happy and I'm not sure how much of that you got to see, but..I want you to have it anyway."

"You should keep it."

"No..I have plenty of pictures of him and me..as friends. And just in case you don't have any I--" she stops as you put your head down

"I..I didn't even realize," you start to cry "I have nothing..to remember him by,we never got to fucking take pictures with each other..we never got to do much of anything.." you don't want to show Victoria how weak you are but you do

"Oh..(Y/N)..I'm so..I'm so sorry." she's sincere, you can tell she cares. She grabs your arm and pulls you into a hug.

"Victoria. I don't know if I can do this. I can't do this. It's only been a couple of hours and I..I miss him so much." you sob into her shoulder, she rubs your back gently

"I miss..I miss him too." she sniffles, crying with you. She squeezes you tightly. She pulls away and holds the picture out to you;she tore her face out

"Thanks.." you calm down a bit, you sniffle as you stare at the picture. Nathan looks so happy,his smile seemed to tear into your heart. You knew you'd never get to see his face again and you never saw him smile like this. You'd seen him smile but not this wide,you two....could have been so happy together.
