The Wanted Fan Fiction (MAKING HUGE EDITS)

Chapter 7

The guys were still out clubbing while Nath and I were on the couch watching a movie… You know.. As friends. But I think it’s finally time to let out my feelings for Nath.

Me: “Nath?”

Nathan: “Hmmm?” He turned to look at me, and when I looked him in the eyes it sent shivers everywhere. I could tell that I was blushing a little bit but thank god it was too dark to see.

Me: “Well there’s something I have to tell yo---“

The door busted open with 4 drunk guys.

Siva: HELLOOOOOO?!? ANYONE HOOMMEEEE?!?”

Nathan: “Siva!! I know you’re drunk but no need to yell!!”

Max: “KRISTIIIII! HOW’S MY LITTLE SIS DOIN?!?”

Me: “Max!! Be quiet! It’s 1:00 in the morning!!”

Boy these guys were super drunk! It was up to me and Nath to take care of them. To be honest, it was pretty funny. Nath and I had a good laugh when Tom tried to jump on Jay and go for a piggy back ride! I guess ever since we had that talk we became closer. But I almost forgot that I was about to tell him how I really feel…

*45 minutes later*

When we finally got the guys to go to bed, I was exhausted so I told Nathan that I was going to bed. Surprisingly, he wasn’t tired so he just stayed downstairs watching TV. I wound up not being able to go to sleep because I was too busy thinking if I should tell him now, or wait. This was too difficult. I went back downstairs and sat back with Nathan.

Nathan: “Can’t sleep?”

Me: “Nah.. Too many thoughts in my head right now.”

Nathan: “Well what kind of thoughts? Maybe I could help?” He smiled at me.

At this point I feel trapped. No way to get out. I don’t even have a lie to protect myself! Then I heard a voice in my head “C’mon!!! just tell him! Get it off your chest! I’m sure he feels the same way about you! If you don’t tell him now, he’ll get another girlfriend and you’ll be broken again. Don’t wait for the last minute!” Then another voice said “Don’t tell him yet! You’re just going to make a fool out of yourself! Who knows? He’ll probably laugh at you! He probably won’t feel the same way! Here’s a good lie! Tell him that you sometimes think about your past and you miss your parents a lot!!” Now I knew that this was my conscience speaking. I was pulled away from my thoughts when Nath waved his hand in front of my face.

Nathan: “Kristi? You okay? You kinda drifted away from reality haha.”

Me: “Hm? Oh what? Yeah I’m fine.” I felt a tears forming in my eyes.

Nathan: “Kristi what’s wrong? Why are you crying? Tell me what’s on your mind.” He gave me a hug to comfort me.

Me: “Well… Umm…” I felt a lump from in my throat. “Actually, I don’t think I really wanna talk about it right now Nath. I think I’m gonna try and sleep again. I’ll see you in the morning.” I gave him a weak smile. He had the “we’re talking about this tomorrow” look on his face.

Nathan: “Okay. Night Kristi! And call me if you need anything.”

Me: “Thanks Nath.”

As soon as I shut the door to my room I went into my bed and made the decision that I’m just going to wait. It wasn’t the right one, but I just have no confidence at all. Then I slept perfectly fine. The next morning I got up pretty early. I was surprised at this because I went to bed super late. I was the only one up, so I went to go sit on the couch to watch some TV. Then I heard someone coming down the stairs and saw that it was Max.

Max: “Hiya Kristi! Whatcha doing up so early?”

Me: “Morning Max! I don’t know I woke up and I guess I couldn’t go back to sleep. Aren’t you supposed to be having a massive hangover?”

Max: “Haha. Nope! I’m lucky. I don’t get hangovers!” He said while laughing.

I tried to act like there was nothing wrong but since Max was my brother he could just tell there was.

Max: “Alright. Talk to your big bro and tell him what’s going on in that mind of yours?”

I suppose I could tell Max… But I’m afraid that it will ruin everything!

Me: “If I tell you, promise me not to tell ANYONE, nor tease me in front of anyone about it! But before I tell you, do you think it would.. ruin things?”

Max: “Trust me. I won’t do or say anything! And what do you mean by “Ruin things”?”

Me: “Um… Well I think I’ve fallen for Nath and… I just don’t want to tell him! It’s already been 2 months since I’ve been hiding these feelings. One of my consciences keeps telling me to tell him now before it’s too late, and the other one keeps on telling me to tell him later until I’m ready which I’ll never be! I just don’t have any confidence Max! I guess I kinda want him to figure it out on his own, but I don’t know what to do!” Tears were streaming down my face as Max was hugging me.

Max: “Shhh It’s alright. This happens all the time! When I was 17 I liked this girl named Rachel. She was dating this other guy and I felt so crushed but I was shy just like you. I couldn’t find any way to tell her how I felt about her so one day I just decided to suck it up and get it off my chest. No, she didn’t feel the same way and still loved that douche that broke up with her and yes, I was hurt but I was glad I got it off of my chest. What I’m trying to say is, you need to let go of that shyness and start believing in yourself more often!”

Me: “You don’t know how much better you just made me feel! I don’t know what I would do without you! Thank you."

Max: “That’s my girl!” He pulled me into another hug and messed up my hair.

Siva and Jay then came downstairs along with Tom.

Tom: “Awww what a nice brother and sister moment!”

Me: “Seriously don’t any of you get hangovers?!” I said laughing

Siva: “Nope! I guess you can call us the lucky ones!” he laughed

Me: “Well I’m gonna go put some clothes on. Don’t wanna stay in my pajamas all day!”

Max winked at me knowing what I was actually going to do. I love my big brother. I went to Nath’s door and saw that his light was on. I knocked on it.

Nathan: “Come in!”

Me: “Morning Nath!”

Nathan: “Morning Kristi! What’s up?”

Me: “Well about last night… When I was telling you about how I couldn’t go to sleep because of my thoughts…”

Nathan: “Yeah? What about it? You can still tell me if you want.”

Me: “Well… Um..” I felt myself start to blush a little. “What I was really going to say was that I---“

I was cut off by Nath’s cell phone ringing.

Nathan: “I’m sorry I have to take this could you give me a sec?”

Me: “Sure.”

Nathan: “Hello? Oh hey! What’s up? I’m great what about you? Tonight? Yeah I can make it. What time? Okay can’t wait to see you then. Bye.”

I sat there in shock he had another girlfriend already?, I was trying not to make it obvious. Then I heard my conscience say “You see?!? I told you to tell him earlier!! Too late now! Nice job Kristi!”

Nathan: “Sorry. So what were you going to say?”

Me: “Oh that I um… I like your hat!!” adding a fake smile

Nathan: “Oh.. Well Thanks!”

Me: “No problem!” I walked out of the room hating myself even more than I did before. I went into my room and cried silently on the bed until I fell asleep. I was completely shattered.
