I'm NOT a faggot (UNDER EDITING)

- Chapter 19 -

Pov Nathan
I couldn't believe it... The first thing I woke up to in the morning were hate comments on my social media profiles. All of them. Saying I should keep my hands where they belong, stay away from any guy, tell me I was a man whore and that I should just die and go to hell. Then I saw the picture Emily posted and the description with it. It's unbelieveble... He set me up to this... All this time it was a trap and I was just to blind to see it!

When Angela heard me crying she came into my room and stopped with whatever she was doing.
"Nate? What's wrong?" she asked while rubbing my back, trying to comfort me. But that's when she saw the notifications coming in and started reading all those reactions.
"That son of a half troll" she hissed, ready to punch something. No, rather to take on a whole armada by herself.

"Omg Nate I'm so sorry I forced you to go on a date with that asshole" she started and hugged me.
"I'll tell dad you aren't feeling well and that you aren't going to school today, okay?"
I nodded and she left me. That's the moment I heard the bell ring. No... I peaked through my curtains and saw Jace standing in front of the house.

That he even had the guts to come here... After everything he had done to me! What he put me through! Everything he said was fake. Everything he had done... It was all just a sick prank. This was his plan all along. I knew he would choose Emily's side! He was just as mad as her! Unbelieveble I really felt for it... That I really felt for Jace...

He started spamming the doorbell, hoping for a reaction. Angela stormed downstairs and opened the door, yelling in his face. He seemed shocked, not knowing how to react. Well what did he expect? That we would be best friends after he pulled this of? The door closed in his face and he looked up to my window. I immediately closed the curtains, knowing he had seen me anyway. I texted Simon that I wouldn't be coming to school today but he had seen everything already.

Angela came back to my room and hugged me one last time before leaving. She was already late and I didn't want to hold her up. Why would Jason do this to me? What had I ever done wrong? Was I really just a toy to him? A way to make time go faster... Why would he crush my heart like that? Was he really just a piece in the sick game Emily and I kept playing? A traitor?

In the meantime Simon had tried to comfort me with like a thousand text messages. He even wanted to skip school for me, at least he was a real friend... My phone was ringing and I answered without looking.
"With Nathan, I'm not really in the mood to talk right now so if it's not important you can call back later" I sighed and faked the beep sound.
"Oh uhm, well, it's Jace" it sounded from the other side of the line. I was too surprised to hang up so he went on.

"I actually didn't think you were gonna answer so I haven't really come up with an excuse or something-NOT THAT I NEED ONE OF COURSE!" he stated.
"I mean, it was all set up by Emily, I'm sure you noticed that already... Oh and Simon has been a real pain in the ass for me today but I guess that's normal since he thinks this is my fault. It's not, just to clarify that. I was just as surprised as you were this morning, I swear. I-I didn't knew about any of this, I thought we were alone in the park. I-I... I'm so sorry that I kissed you in public, I shouldn't have forced it... Please just say something? Nate?"

"You really didn't know?" I asked whispering.
"No, of course not, I would never hurt you" he said.
"Peter even felt bad for me and apologized"
"Wait what?" I asked confused.
"Yeah, it was kinda weird but he's sorry about everything he put you through and he thinks Emily has gone way too far this time" Jace said.
"By the way, did you know he likes guys? I mean, I was totally surprised when he told me that"

"Uhm, why don't you come over to tell me about everything?" I suggested.
"Y-you want to see me?" he asked.
"Well, we're still a couple, aren't we?" I asked to tease him. He thought I would be furious, he was prepared for the worst. But instead I believed him and he just didn't know what to think about it.
"I-I'll be there after school" he stated and disconnected. Well this was gonna be interesting...

And if he wasn't convincing I could always just dump him and start crying afterwards. I've lost enough water today, maybe even for a whole week. And maybe I shouldn't believe Jace so quickly, maybe he did hook up with Emily behind my back. But I needed to hear his side of the story first. Only then I could clear the cloud in my mind.

I sighed and fell onto my bed. Jason always knew how to shake things up, didn't he? Ever since he came to Emelo everything changed. Like Emelo changed for him, to make him fit into the puzzle. I looked back on my social media, only to see that there were much more notifications of people posting on my profile. I sighed and started scrolling through the pictures on my phone, the photo's of Jace and I. He really did change my life, gave me more confidence. So even if he betrayed me I had gained a lot from the experience.

After a solid ten minutes I could hear the bell ring and jumped up, running downstairs. I swing the door open, pulling Jason inside and closing the door in the process.
"What was that for?" he asked.
"Well we don't want anyone to know you're here right?" I asked.
"Come on, lets go upstairs"
