the start of something new | r.d.

Chapter 11

~Last time~

"Nat, I need to tell you something."

"What?" I ask, scared for what he might say.

"Well, when you were....well....drunk. You said something that I just...." He trailed.

"You just what?" I pushed.

"You told me you liked me." He finished.

I froze, Oh no. I didn't want it to be like this. I never wanted this to happen.

"I..."

~Now~

Natalie's P.O.V.

You know that feeling when you get when you think something bad is going to happen and you just want to go in a corner and die. That's what I'm feeling right now. Just the thought of Reed may or may not liking me is one of the scariest things ever. It's like not get what you want on Christmas, but then you hear them apologizing because they didn't find something better, but you just smile and say it's okay, but it still hurts a little. If I'm going to lose Reed because of my stupid feelings then I might as well just die right now.

"Nat, I..." Reed started again.

Why can't he just say that he doesn't like me? I mean, I don't want him to say it, but I can't wait for the answer. Curiosity would eventually kick in and then I would push Reed onto telling me something I don't want to hear. Then again I would know the truth and not just a lie.

"I don't know how to say this, but..." He said, scratching the back of his neck.

I wanted so bad to just die I couldn't believe that he was going to probably say that he's sorry, but he doesn't feel the same. I guess it time to face the fact that Reed never liked me and was only being a friend, like we always were and always going to be.

"Nat, I-i l-like y-y-you t-too." He shuttered while whispering it so I could barely hear it, but I heard it. All that I had thought earlier was gone. All that was thought in my mind just disappeared and I had a shocked look on my face. I couldn't speak, the lump in my throat was to big to even let out a squeal of excitement. I tried hiding my smile, but I couldn't. I hugged Reed as if saying that I couldn't tell him how happy I was. He hugged back, but without even looking I could tell he was smiling.

I pulled back when he did and when we did we just looked each other in the eyes. My arms around his neck and his arms around my waist. I could tell he was debating on something, weather or not he should do it. I t confused me for a bit, but it wasn't long till I felt something soft on my lips. I immediately knew it was Reed's lips and I kissed back, closing my eyes in the process.

Most would say we were to young to have our first kiss at fourteen or fifteen, but it felt so....right. As cliché as it sounds, I felt the butterflies in my stomach. I couldn't believe that just a year ago we just met, but here we are kissing each other as if we let go, one of us would disappear.

I guess, I over thought things and saying it was never going to happen. I just never thought that I would ever have this, mostly at such a young age. Things change though. Like, I never thought that my best friend and I would be kissing at...like...what, 11:00 p.m. I never thought I would be happy again, but when Reed came into my life it changed. Everything changed for me. I guess, changes can be the best thing that ever happened to me.

I guess you can say that this is The Start of Something New.
