My Own Purgatory(NatePat)

Chapter 9: Steph's Plans

Nathan's POV

Slowly I wake up. My brain is just a foggy mess, as it always is just after ive waken up. As I lay there, the gears start to turn. Everything comes back to me.

Oh no.

Wrapped around me was, you guessed it, Mathew fucking Patrick. I couldn't get up. No doubt id have to wait until he was awake, meaning there was no chance that he'd be forgetting that any of this ever happened. That's just great. Why did this happen, anyway?... Oh. I was having that dream last night.. again.

I feel Matt shifting slightly. He must be waking up. Not being able to do much else, I watch him gradually come back to consciousness. His eyes open, and he looks me straight in the eyes with a look of... im not sure what it was.
"Good Morning," he said, and then the look changed to one of fear and then embarrassment. He seemed to have realized the predicament we were in.

He started blurting apologies and excuses of all kinds. Seeing him flustered like this was kind of.. cute? Not that I like him, or anything. Puppies are cute, but i don't have crushes on them. I cut him off, "its alright, here, ill help you up." "Thanks," he said, seemingly grateful for the interruption.

"Now lets go get us some breakfast."

After eating a decent breakfast, consisting of waffles and orange juice, Mathew insisted he had to go home so his parents wouldn't worry when he wasn't home around 10 am. Still feeling slightly awkward from earlier, i let him go.
"Bye," we both say in unison. He waves and disappears beyond the closing door. Now im left to contemplate what all happened. I go to my room and lay on my bed, staring at nothing in particular.

He knows now just how weak I really am. He feels awkward around me now. He probably hates me now, if he didn't already. There goes my chance to have a friend. Thoughts swirl inside my head, none of them good, when i soft 'ping' snaps me back to reality.

That was my phone. Prepared for the worst, I reach over to see my phone's lit up lock screen of Sans.

After a while, I give up trying. She probably has her phone on silent, or maybe even off. I swear...

I spend a few hours online, watching YouTube. Pretty much doing what i always do. When 2:30 rolls around, I start getting ready. I grab a simple black button up, and some other things to change into, and go to the bathroom to take a shower.

After I got out, I walked over to the mirror and dried my hair and combed it to be only slightly messy. I get dressed and check the time. I still have an hour to go.

With that in mind, I grab to my phone to listen to music and look through twitter. At around 3:50, I grab a green beanie, putting it on and walk out the door calling out "bye mom! Im heading out!" There's no reply, so I assume shes still in bed. Not that she'll worry. I take morning walks all the time.

I wonder what mischievous thing Steph has planned.
