Together Forever (Nash Grier fanfic)

Chapter 18

"Um hi...Nash." I said slowly

"Hey." The way he said that one simple word made me irritated beyond belief. Hey? Is that all he had to say? After everything that happened between us? It's like he doesn't even care. I guess he really doesn't love me as much as he says he does.

"Hi Nash!" Kat said and he gave her a big hug. I think I saw a little jealousy in Matt's eyes...and mine too. But I'm not mad at Kat, I mean back when me and Nash were dating they had grown really close like brother and sister. She did get mad at him after our break up but I knew she couldn't stay mad at him forever.

"Hey Kitty Kat!" Nash also gave her a nickname.

"When did u get here?" Kat says releasing Nash from their hug.

"Just now before you guys came over. I saw Matt so I just came over to hang out with him."

"Oh, well I'm glad you're here."

"Yea not everybody is." I mumble to myself.

The rest of the day was actually pain-free. We had a great time. After we left the mall we went to the carnival since it was in town. Matt won Kat a giant teddy bear from one of the carnival games. It was the cutest thing ever. Kat took it and gave Matt a hug and he gave her a kiss on the cheek. Then he took her hand in his and they went to go ride the ferris wheel.

Watching them made me kind of sad. I don't have someone to hug or kiss me like that. I don't have someone to win me giant teddy bears from carnival games like that. I don't have someone to hold my hand and ride the ferris wheel with like that. I don't have someone to love me so much like Kat does. The only person in my life who was even close to that was Nash. And I am sure as hell not getting back with that boy. Not ever again.

The day went just fine. It was night by now and we were on our way to my house since Matt and Kat are staying there. But thats when shit started.

"Sooo Lisa. Who was that guy you were talking to at the mall?"

"What?" I honestly didn't know what he was talking about until I took myself back to that time and remembered exactly what happened.

"That guy, the one with you at hot topic?"

"Oh...u-ummm...he was just uh n-no nobody."

"No, no, no, why don't you tell me the truth now."

"Honestly Nash. He's nobody."

"Gosh Lisa you are lying to me right through your teeth and that doesn't bother you?"

"What!?!?!?" Who does he think he is that Nash!? Calling me a liar! Why would he even think that!? This boy just doesn't know when to stop does he? He pushes my buttons all the time just to get mad in the end if he isn't satisfied with the outcome. Gosh I can't take this, I can't deal with this right now.

"You know perfectly well what!" Nash yells. I am so done.

"Alright Nash! You want the truth and I told it to you! What more do you want!? I don't have to tell you about everyone in my life!"

"OH COME ON LISA!! We all know that boy is your new boyfriend! Look how easily you move on, just from one boy to the next right!?"

"Nash. I told you the truth. Would you rather have me lie to you and tell you that stranger is my new boyfriend? Because I would really hate to do that."

"Oh I bet you would! And that wasn't a lie, how long are you going to keep up this innocent act!?" We were right outside my house and I just stopped and stared at him. Even in the dark I could read him perfectly. He looked angry and hurt. I could feel the tears threatening to spill.

"I knew it." And with that Nash walked away and disappeared around the corner shooting me another hurt look.

Kat, Matt, and I walked in the house and my mom was standing in the kitchen looking at me. She probably heard everything. She opened her arms and I ran to her. I gave her a tight hug while crying on her shoulder.

"Lisa we're gonna go upstairs." Kat said.

I was crying so hard, it hurt me.

"Oh sweetheart I know." My mom said trying to comfort me while rubbing my back.

"Mom what did I do wrong?" I said in between sobs.

"Nothing honey it's okay."

••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

I had finally stopped crying and I was sitting with my mom on the couch watching TV. Matt and Kat were probably watching a movie or something since there's a big TV in my room.

"Um...honey? I have something I need to share with you."

"Yea, what is it?"

"Well, you see, I've...been seeing someone." What? Is she serious? Her face was so sincere and anxious. But I really don't know what I am feeling right now. Maybe mad, maybe frustrated, I really can't tell with all that has happened with Nash.

"How?" Is all I manage to say

"Well, I went on one of those online dating websites and found a match. His name is Adam and he's a very nice man."

"When do you even have time to see him? You're always out with friends or on business trips."

"Well..." She looked like she thought I knew what she was talking about. But then it hit me.

"Mom. You were with friends and on business trips right?" Anger rising inside of me as I wait for her answer.

"No, no I was. Most of the time..."

"Most of the time! What is that supposed to mean!? That you've been sneaking around with this guy telling me lies about where you are going knowing what I've been going through these past few weeks!?"

"Honey-"

"No! Don't 'honey' me! You're my mom, you're supposed to be there for me when I need someone most! Not off with some guy you met on a stupid dating website! Do you have any idea how this makes me feel!?" I didn't even know how this made me feel. I can't handle this on top of everything with Nash. How could my own mother do this to me? How can she just go behind my back this whole time and decide to tell me now when it's probably already months in their relationship?

"I'm sorry Lisa." My mom said looking apologetic. But I had already left the couch and I was making my way upstairs. I was now standing outside my door about to push the door open when someone from the inside opened it instead. It was Kat. She looked at me and gave me a sympathetic look. I walked in the room and Matt was sitting on the extra bed in my room looking at me the same way Kat did. I was expecting them to tell me everything was going to be okay and that you can get through this and all that stuff. But instead Matt laid down on the bed and Kat led me to mine. She held me in her arms as I fell asleep on her lap.
