somebody to you | n.c

iii

i let go of the hug and just frowned at nathan.
"i feel so bad knowing that i just let you go like that." i said.

"anna you're fine." he said.

"would i be?" i questioned.

"yes you would." he chuckled.

i didn't know what was happening next because next thing you know we were staring at each other until raf broke it.

"nathan! anna!" raf yelled.

we both turned our heads at him, "yes?" we said in unison.

"let's get going!" he yelled.

we nodded our heads and started doing a lap around the rink once more. this time we were doing it hand in hand just talking about life and catching up with each other.
later then we worked together on our jumps and spins together while giving each critiques along with raf.

i watched nathan do his quad lutz and double loop and he did perfect has ever.

"how do you do it." i said.

"quads?" he asked.

"no nathan not you're quads i meant you're triple axel." i sarcastically said. "yes i meant your quads."

"it takes time with hard work and dedication." he proudly said.

i started to giggle until my cheeks started to burn up once more.

what i didn't know would happen is when raf decided to tap my shoulder and scare the crap out of me.

"gah." I screamed.

nathan started to laugh at me and i glared at him.

"okay let's calm down here." raf chuckled and paused for a moment. "nathan do you mind if i talk to anna." nathan nodded his head and raf put his arm around my shoulder and we both skated away.

"yes?" i asked politely.

"i saw what happened out there." he paused "you and nathan have the potential bond, you know that right?" i nodded my head.

"we use to do date." i said.

raf gave me a reassuring look and gave me a pat on the back.

"i know." he said coldly, "nathan told me everything."

"i feel bad that i just let him go like that and i never gave him a chance to explain." i sighed.

raf had a sad look on his face. "it was tough for him anna.. everyday after the incident he wasn't himself anymore." he explained, "he would always fall on his jumps. he would talk back at me. it was pretty devastating till he just got over it and focused on his skating more."

"that's awful." i said.

"you know what happened at the olympics right?" he asked.

"i watched everything." i said.

i looked at nathan and he was skating around practicing on more of his jumps and spins.
i sighed once more and bit my lip, then looked at his coach.

"the night before his devastating short program, adam called me and when i picked up i heard nathan crying in the background. i didn't know what happened until adam explained everything to me." raf smiled at me so i'm pretty sure it was a good thing.

"what happened?"

"apparently he confessed all his feelings for you and he just couldn't handle the fact how nervous he was for the olympics." he smiled at me more.

"he still likes me?" my eyes fluttered and i smiled at him.

"he's never stopped anna."

those 4 words completely got to me. i didn't know how to feel so i just ran out of the rink where nathan and raf trained, with tears coming out of my eyes.

the cold air breeze was hitting me and i felt people follow me from behind. i turned around to see maia running after me.

"anna wait up!" she yelled.

i ran into the locker room and just slid down the wall crying my heart out.

i heard someone coming in and i looked up to see maia, she crouched down and sat right next to me.

"what happened?" she asked.

"nothing really i guess.. i just got emotional for a second when raf told me something." i said.

i wiped my tears and sat there thinking about what raf just told me.

"what did he tell you?" she questioned me more.

"nathan never stopped liking me." i said.

maia gave me a hug has we were sitting down, her arms were around me while her head was rested on my shoulder and i was holding on.

"he always talks about you every time, of course he hasn't stopped." she said.

i couldn't believe the truth was spilling out everywhere from left to right, it was unbelievable but it was all true the same time.

"wow." i said. "how come i was never told about this?"

"nathan didn't want anyone to tell that he still had feelings for you, the whole team all found it obvious but we still didn't tell you." maia confessed.

"wow he's t-" i was cut off by someone yelling my name and i knew who it was right away.

"anna!" he said.

"you go get him." she whispered. i smiled at her, without maia i don't know what i'd be doing in my life.

maia got up and lended me a hand, i grabbed on it to pull myself right up again.

"thank you maia, without you i would be a mess." i thanked her.

"of course we're always here for each other." she smiled.

i hugged her until she hugged back, "now you should go out there so you can talk to him." she whispered in my ear. i nodded my head and let go of the hug.

i got out of the locker room with a confident feeling and when i saw him everything just stopped.

"hey." i said.

he was watching the skaters in the rink right in front of us.

"hey are you okay? raf told me everything." he turned around and asked me.

"yeah i'm fine. i talked it out with maia." i said.

"so i'm assuming you know." he asked.

i nodded my head and giggled.

"you're really bad keeping secrets."
