One day

Chapter 5

“Is that true?” Haley cried, and I stared up at Nate. She had heard what he said, which made me wonder what would happen now.

“Haley, just listen to me.” He got closer towards her, raising his hands to signal her to stay steady like a dog.

“Why would I listen to you! Have you already kissed her?” Nate rubbed his face with his hands, frustrated.

“No, Haley.” He shook his head, getting right up to her. I began to walk up to room when Haley ran towards me, knocking me down. Easier than usual, since I was already unstable. “Haley! Get off of her!” Nate pulled her away, pushing her aside.

“There you go again, protecting her! How long have you felt something for her! And don’t lie to me, because what you just said will probably prove differently.” She was just so sad not long ago, but now she’s yelling in Nate’s face.

“What I said was true..Okay Haley, it’s true. I really do think I love Ally. It’s been since a few month after we started dating, that I’ve had feelings for her.” All this time, when he was protecting me and being my “friend” he was doing it because he liked me more than that. If I had talked to him about it earlier on, we wouldn’t be in this situation at all - Nate and I would be together, and not have to deal with Haley’s drama.

“Fine, you “love” her. Ally, I hope you enjoy Nate, because all he is and ever will be is a manwhore. Don’t always believe what he says, since I’m sure other girls will come along and you’ll be put in my situation. Enjoy Ally, I hope it doesn’t work out.” She stomped out the door, slapping Nate before. After a few minutes of her being gone, Nate came to me and hugged me tightly.

“Are you okay? From her attacking you?” He squeezed me tightly.

“It sort of hurt, but I’m good.” I tilt my head up towards his eyes once he let me go.

“I’m gonna head out for now, call me if you need anything at all and I’ll see you at school.” He pecked my cheek, stroking my hair behind my ear. He kept his stare right on the middle on my nose, making sure he can see both of my eyes. My heart began to pick up pace and when he began to lean in, I couldn’t help but let my instincts take over. But when he was right up close to my lips I randomly felt sick to my stomach and ran into my bathroom, vomiting the most disgusting things I’ve ever seen. “Ally? Are you okay?”

“I don’t think I’ve heard anyone ask me that so much in one day in a long time Nate.” I made a more happy side to this. “It’s probably just the alcohol talking, I mean vomiting is sort of normal when you drink too much.” But then the thought came into mind that I really didn’t have anything to drink.

“But you only had a little bit I thought.” Nate said, reading my mind.

“Must be the drugs then, because that’s the only other explanation.” I was confused, and my head throbbed.

“Or it could be the alcohol since you haven’t had any in a long time.” Nate said, pointing out a good thought. “Are you sure you’re okay, no need to go to the doctors?”

“No, I’ll be fine.” I tried convincing him, but once I stood and fell over I knew something was going on.

“Okay, you’re going to go lay down.” He held me from behind and lifted me up bridal style. I laughed, and probably blushed as he carried me upstairs. As he layed me down, I tugged at his shirt sleeve.

“Are you still going to leave?” My head didn’t feel any better, and I wanted to cry from how much it hurt.

“Are you okay?” Nate asked for the third time since he’s been here. Before I came to realization that I was crying and my face felt hot. My vision began to blur, when I felt a hand on my face I knew I was blacking out. This was very familiar to my past actions, and then I knew I was going to wake up in the hospital. “Ally! Ally!” I felt a pair of lips on mine when I opened my eyes. “Ally thank goodness, I thought you were disappearing on me.”

“How long was I out? And why were you kissing me?” I was confused, was I struggling to breath?

“You blacked out only for a couple minutes, but your breathing was quick and then stopped so I acted as anyone else would in my situation.”

“Usually, that’s panicking.” I said sarcastically, feeling much better than before.

“Even though you seem to be feeling better, I still think we should take you to the hospital Ally.” His voice was full of concern.

“Nate, please just go home and stop worrying about me. You were about to leave an-”

“Before you stopped me, with not breathing and crying.”

“You’re acting like I did this on purpose! Just leave Nate before you fall in love with another girl on the street.” I immediately regretted what I said because we were just joking around with each other and since he had been so caring.

“You have got to be kidding Ally, you’ve got to be kidding.” I felt like my mom and Nate just a day ago by being walked out on, and had no choice but let them go because I had no energy to run after him. I felt bad and just like the last few days, confused as ever. Why do I always have to push people away, now all I have is Daphne. If I lose her, I have no clue what I'll do then.
