Cancer//Nathan Prescott x Reader

f i f t e e n

A week has passed and things have gone on as usual, besides the fact you hang out with Nathan a bit more. You try your best to keep him and Warren separate to avoid any awkwardness but you enjoy hanging out with the both of them, if only they could just be cool with each other.
Nathan is still having trouble opening up, but you want him to take as much time as he needs..you still can't figure him out. He has his moments, but you don't take it too personally if he says the wrong things.
. . . .
You and Warren pull into the parking lot of the school, just coming from your treatment. You feel nauseous, like usual, there's just no getting used to that feeling.

"Thanks, Warren." you give him a gentle smile

"You don't have to thank me everytime, yknow." he chuckles

"Yea, I know," you quietly laugh "But I almost puked in your car so I think you deserve it this time."

"I'm glad I pulled over just in time, I'm the type where if you puke I'll puke." be grins

"Then I agree, I would not want to ride back in a car full of puke." you laugh again

"Okay, enough puke talk, let's get you to your room." he turns off the car and takes the keys from the ignition before getting out and walking over to your side. Before you can reach for the door handle Warren opens the door for you, you refrain from saying 'thank you' again;afraid that you're saying it too much. Warren takes your hand and helps you out of the car. You guys start walking towards the building.

"Do you wanna stay at my dorm? I might fall asleep but, I hate just disappearing after my treatments." you gently smile
Warren opens his mouth to answer but is interrupted,

"Hey, (Y/N)!" Nathan tries to get your attention, waving you over to the picnic table he's sitting on;he's accompanied by that girl you see him talk to at times, she's sitting on the actual bench of the table.

Warren looks over at them and then at you..
"Let's just see what he wants.." you patiently reply, knowing Warren wants nothing to do with them. You walk over to them, Warren follows.

"I just wanted to let you know that we got an A on our project in photography, he gave back grades today but..you didn't show up..?"

"Oh yeah..? That's great, I knew we'd get a good grade!" you smile

"Are you alright?" he asks

"Yeah, why do you ask?"

"You just..look a bit pale and like I said,you didn't show up for class today." he answers, a bit of a worried look on his face.

"Yeah, I'm just feeling a bit sick is all. Thanks for the concern."

he nods, "Well, I guess I'll catch you later I wouldn't want to hold you two up."

"Yeah, I'll - -" you feel a burning sensation crawl it's way up your throat, you grab Warren's arm as you try to hold it back

"Uh..I-I think we should go - -" he chokes out as he puts his hand on your back but before he can take you away it's too late. Warren quickly turns his head away as he listens to you hurl and gag as you puke at the two's feet, Nathan quickly backs up even though he's out of the way and you end up puking on Victoria.

"Oh my god!" she screams in horror and disgust as she quickly stands. Her skirt all the way down to her shoes are covered in your vomit, you feel awful. You wipe your mouth,

"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry! I'll help you- -" you reach out but she quickly slaps your hand and backs up;away from you

"Don't fucking touch me," she scoffs in anger and complete disgust as she looks down at her clothes, "I can't believe this! I can't believe this is happening to me!"
you look up at Nathan feeling awful as you back away from her, he looks as if he's trying to hold back laughter but you can't help but feel terrible. You just puked on this poor girl, who already doesn't even like you very much.

"I-I'l pay for your dry cleaning, I'm sorry we didn't mean to cause any trouble!" Warren finally says, still afraid to look

Two girls rush over, they seem to be her friends. They look completely grossed out but they're trying to calm her down. They give you judgemental looks, as if this couldn't get any worse.
"Help me, you idiots!" she yells at the two and they quickly rush off with her to get her cleaned up.
You and Warren watch them run off until they're out of sight, laughter erupts from Nathan. You and Warren turn back in his direction.

"Holy shit, she's so pissed..I'd watch out for her if I were you." he laughs

"I'm so sorry, I really didn't mean to! I feel awful." you groan with a sigh

"Don't. She'll be fine," he finally stops laughing ,but a smirk remains on his face "That was great, thanks for the laugh."

"Aren't you two friends? Why are you laughing?" you ask

"Victoria just has priceless reactions, plus seeing the bad luck other people have is naturally funny sometimes," he looks up at Warren,  "And don't worry about dry cleaning, if she's really that upset I'll pay for it."

"Yeah, okay. Thanks." Warren replies

"(Y/N), you should probably get to your room. I'd rather not see that again," Nathan suggests as he looks down at the bit of puke that splashed down onto the grass, he looks back up at you, "Plus, you're obviously not well, so I'll see you around?"

"Y-Yeah. Let her know I sorry, please."

"Yeah, I will--not sure if she'll listen but I'll tell her." he hops off the table, careful not to step in your vomit. You nod and turn to Warren and you both start to walk to your dorm.

"Don't beat yourself up, it was an accident." Warren finally says as you both reach your door

"Yeah, I know. Let's take a raincheck on hanging in my dorm. I think I should just rest."

"Okay, I get it. I'll be on my way then, we'll have to have it another day though." he demands with a smile on his face

"Of course!" you chuckle before entering your room. You quickly take off your shoes and change into your pjs, you lay down and try your best to go to sleep before you can feel sick again.
