I tried to reach for his hand a few times but each time he shifted his hand out of my reach . We drove and drove , then I realised we weren't on the street to go home , I looked over to him but his face didn't change , his muscles kept flexing from the pressure he kept putting on the steering wheel . The car pulled up to a beach front , I was confused so I thought I would ask , "where are we?" My voice was slightly blocked out by the sound of the waves hitting the shore . He still didn't answer me , his face stayed stern like he was thinking about something , then he roughly ran his hand through his hair and just got out of the car and began to walk towards the beach . I didn't know what to do so I didn't move . "Are you coming ?" his voice came over his shoulder , he didn't turn to me at all , so I just get out of the car and walked towards the beach . Before touching the sand , I unwrapped my (aunts) shoes and held the straps in my hand . The cold sand against my toes felt refreshing , I walked and walked but I couldn't seem to catch up with him , "slow down! , I'm not that tall ya know . 5ft8 isn't tall compared to your 6ft3 ..Nate!!" He wouldn't answer me , so I did what most girls do when the guy they want is walking away . Run to them , I quickly held on to my heel tighter and ran up behind him . I yanked his arm back , spinning him around to face me . "What the he'll man ! First you hold my hand and nurture me back to health , then you pull me in extremely! close to you , and now you wanna bring me to an empty , secluded beach to give me the cold shoulder ! What's your deal?!" I asked demanding an answer . But he didn't say anything , he just looked at me , an unknown emotion on his face . I started back until he turned away and started to lay down the blanket he had taken out from under his seat . "Sit" the first word of 10 minutes and thats it , I rolled my eyes and sat down on the blanket next to him . We sat still for a couple minutes and then I saw him turn his attention away from the moon on the waves and on to me . "Why would you do that ?" his voice sounded nothing like him , it was shallow , cold , hurt .... "do what" like I didn't know what I did , then again , I did a million wrong things tonight so he would have to be more specific . "Use me , so you could go out , to a Sex Club! and hook up with a dude , who wouldn't even care to remember your name and who probably has every disease known to man . And! where the hell did you get the idea to go down there !?" The tone in his voice shook me to my core , I got goose bumps straight up my spine . "Ok , first answer , I didn't use you , I just wanted to go but I knew Joy-Ann wouldn't let me go if it wasn't with you . Second answer , I met a girl in the jewelry store and we got to talking and she asked if I wanted to go and that we would get in fine cuz she used to do the owner so he owed her a favour . I didn't know what kind of club it was ." I answered , feeling really stupid . "Wait...did the owner!?! please dont tell me her name was Ariana !?!!" he asked seeming kind of distorted , "yeah , you know her?" I asked . "Know her! The whole fucking town knows her , she's the biggest slut around . She got kicked out for having sex with all the male teachers and blow jobbing the principal . She's bad news Kat." Oh shit! Ok , I need to stop going places with random strangers . "I'm sorry , I didn't know ok . I just.......I just wanted to make my own friend ya know ." I looked away from Nate and out at the water , then down to my feet . I feel so stupid . I heard him huff then I felt his fingers on my cheek , "I understand , and I forgive you , but please don't do it again . Seeing that guy all over you and how helpless you were I ............ I wanted to kill him ." He held his head low and I knew he would have killers guy . "Do you remember when you asked me what I went to jail for , and you guessed wrong , but I hadn't told you ?" "Yeah" , "well ........*huff* ....... it was for attempted murder --(Kats thoughts) OMFG!! He's more badass than me ! Fuck! Ok let me listen . Play it cool , play it cool...-- (Reality)-- yeah , this guy came rushing up on me and I got tired of him so I grabbed a glass bottle and broke it over the S.O.B's head , he started bleeding like hell and I started punching him in the face , all the people that were around took off when they heard the cops . I stopped hitting him , but the cops were already there so they hand cuffed me and took me in . The guy had to go into surgery and then up to the I.C.U for a broken arm , 3 broken ribs and a fractured skull . He didn't die but he was close to dying so I got charged with 'attempted' murder . I did 4 years , nothing major , but after that I never fought with anyone cuz I knew I would do some serious damage . And then you came along and..........I don't know what happened but you brought back up that .......feeling seeing that bastard all over you , I wanted to kill him ." his eyes went back to their warm look after a few seconds . I finally felt safe with him again so I scooted a little closer to him and I rested my hand on his , he glanced down at it and I finally saw a smile come across his face . "Can I be honest with you . When I got onto that train I felt so messed up and then I saw you sitting there and I felt like I needed to get to know you . Is that wrong." I didn't know what to say , then , I don't know what came over me but I started into his eyes and the next thing I know my lips were pressed against his . I had never kissed a guy before so I pulls away.
