Chapter:7

***Nate's POV***

Fuck. My. Life.

I could of stayed.

I should of stayed.

Why didn't I stay?

Maybe I was wrong and didn't love Ali. No. I did love her.

Maybe I was scared. Scared of what you pussy?

Stella. I was scared of her. (Fair enough.)

Thats no excuse but its all I have.

After a quiet and long car ride we made it to my small and nearly empty house. Almost all my stuff was packed and in the corner of my living room.

I set down my keys and pulled off my shoes and sat on my couch. My head was in between my knees. A moment or 2 passed before I felt the slight dent made by someone sitting down next to me. Stella.

"Why are you crying?" I looked up at her and sure enough silent tears betrayed me by falling down my cheeks.

"Nothing." I mumbled silently.

"Are you sure? I should be the one crying, I mean you said you wanted to break up with me."

Something. I don't know what just cracked...

I stood and towered above Stella.

"Yeah, you know what I did and I still mean it!"

Lets face it Stella wore the pants in this relationship. She stood and very quietly without warning slapped me hard at the cheek.

I fumbled and cupped my cheek in my hands. This is what Ali felt. It tore me up more.

"What the fuck Stella?!?"

"You are shit, I hate you."

"I hate you too!"

We were both standing tall and in her heels Stella was taller than me.

"After all the love and affection I gave you, you want to throw it away? Leave me for that other piece of shit?"

I still stood strong.

"Yes. You know what? I did love you. But now I love Ali! You've changed and i'm sorry but you beat someone down today! I can't do this anymore! I won't move in with you and I can't be the person you love anymore! I can't be your prince charming!"

This stopped her and she looked me dead in the eyes and grabbed her keys, phone, bag, and walked towards the door.

"We are done and I never what to see you again! Go fuck that shit of a girl but don't come looking for me ever again!"

"Maybe I will!" Okay that sounded better in my head...

She slammed my door and I fell to my knees and cried happy tears.

"THE CURSE IS LIFTED"

****

I was still on my knees when I heard my door open...

Fuck. Is Stella back?

I stood up and turned  and instead fell back surprised. It was Lexi, my sister.

My 16 year old sister, here in California.

"Um. 2 questions." She paused before continuing

"Why is Stella pacing back and fourth outside calling everyone who passes by a bitch?"

I laughed

"And second... Are you okay? You look like you've been crying"

I jumped up and hugged her.
