Falling For My Bestfriend

Chapter 10

*Skip To Last Day Of School*

Natalie's POV

I checked myself in the mirror. Yellow crop top with jean booty shorts. My hair was up and I had little makeup on. I smiled, accepting I looked decent.

Me and Miles hopped into his truck and took a deep breath.

"We did it. We have today and then it's over, well...except next year, but we made it through 11th grade!" He smiled.

"Yeah, I know. Only left with a few scars on my wrists...." I said.

"Yeah! Wait....what?" He asked realizing what I said.

"I'll tell you later, let's get to school!" I said.

We walked out of the school doors hand in hand. It got out at 2pm today. It was a pretty good day. I admitted that I had cut myself (huge weight lifted off my shoulders, just some explaining to do). Then, me and Miles played in the open gym and I actually beat him at a game of basketball, even though I had a couple of tall guys on my team.

"Hey Natalie," Miles said snapping me out of this years memories.

"Yeah?" I smiled.

"I have a surprise for you..." He said.

Miles's POV

"I have a surprise for you..." I said.

"What do you mean?" She asked.

"Just come with me, we're taking a road trip," I grinned.

"Ok?" She seemed confused, but I didn't want her to know.

I had already told her brother about the whole thing. I was planning on driving to Florida for a few weeks. It was about 8 to 9 hours from here, Canton Georgia. I had no idea what to do there, but I'm just a teenager and I love Natalie so I just want to live in the moment and have fun. #Yolo All of our bags were piled up in the back, but she hadn't noticed. I asked Sophie to pack for Natalie because I'm sure I would forget something important.

"Here, you'll need this," I said to Natalie as I tossed her a pillow.

"Long trip?" She asked.

"Yeah. Don't worry about anything just rest," I said.

"Ok...." She said.

After a while, Natalie fell asleep.

At around 6pm Natalie stared to move. She opened her eyes and took a drink of the water bottle I gave her earlier.

"Hello sleeping beauty," I said.

"I'm hungry," She said ignoring my compliment.

"Want to stop somewhere?" I asked.

"Nah. I'm just feeling TacoBell," She yawned.

"Ok. It's like 6 right now and we should be getting to where we wanna be around 11pm," I said.

"Alright...." She said.

I found a TacoBell and got Natalie a breakfast burrito even though it was late evening. That's what she wanted though. I got the nacho taco thing. We each got a vanilla shake.

"Thanks Miles," She smiled. "Wait, does Taylor know about this? Did you let my brother know that you are kidnaping me?" She asked, suddenly cautious.

"Natalie, I'll explain when we get to where we're going. Stop worrying!" I assured her.

I was right, around 11pm I found a hotel to stay in. I woke Natalie up. We took our bags inside and she was shocked that there were, like, 10 bags, but we would be staying for a while. We went up to the lady at the counter.

"Room for two?" She asked.

"Yes ma'am," I smiled.

She rolled her eyes probably thinking that we were two spunky teenagers who just wanted a room to have sex. I had different plans for me and Natalie though. I just wanted a nice, young relationship.

"Room 126. Please enjoy your stay," she said.

"Are you going to rape me?" Natalie asked.

"No? Why would I do that?" I asked.

"Well, you took me far away and to a hotel," she laughed.

"Haha no I'm not going to rape you. Let's just call it a vacation," I said.

We walked into our room and began putting everything away. It took us quite a while, considering we were staying for a few weeks. When we were finally done unpacking, showering, brushing our teeth, and getting on our pj's it was about 12:30am. We turned off the lights and laid in our separate beds.

"Hey Natalie?" I whispered remembering something.

"Hmm?" She mumbled.

"Well, what's up about you cutting yourself?" I asked.

"Oh, yeah. Well, I've been really insecure here lately and it's probably just the age. I really needed somebody to be friends with and Sophie came along. You know though, she has her other friends. I realize she hangs out with me above all of them, but sometimes I went through a lot of pressure. High school is tough. When you came back though, I stopped cutting. I used to every night and when you came back I barely ever did. That one day that Brie came along, I acted so confident, but I went home later that day and cut again. I'm sorry... I haven't for a long while though. I don't know if I will at all anymore, with you around, anyways," She said.

All I managed to choke out was a faint "Oh."

I couldn't see anything since it was pitch black, but I knew she was crying.

"Why'd you bring me to Florida?" She asked.

"Uh.... The beach. Also cuz I felt I would spend most of my summer inside or on the internet or something. I don't actually have one reason, I just thought it would be fun," I said.

"Oh, ok. Thanks. That's sweet of you, Miles," She said.

"Welcome. Night. I love you," I said.

"Night, I love you too," She said.

I rolled over and fell asleep.
