Nathan
After staying in bed for weeks and not being able to lift a finger unless I'm drinking water, I was able to leave the house
The first place I went to was Bryce's house to give him a huge kiss for worrying him.
I scrunch my nose as Bryce dragged his soft fingertips along the bridge of my nose to the tip of it.
"I love you so much, Nathan," Bryce whispered, clearly thinking I was asleep. His knuckles brushed against my cheek as he traced my face. "You're so precious."
I couldn't help but smile.
Bryce continued to caress and touch my face gently, running his fingers over the small scars on it, my lips, over my eyelids.
"You're so adorable," Bryce whispered, pressing a kiss in the space between my eyebrows that were still sore.
Emma came over yesterday and plucked my eyebrows and painted my nails...worst pain ever.
"Thank you." I smiled, fluttering my eyes open. Bryce's face lit up, a grin stretching on his face. "Hi."
"Hi, baby." Bryce beams, trailing his fingertips down the side of my face. "I thought you were asleep."
"I woke up."
"Nah, shit." Bryce chuckles, staring at me, affection and admiration twinkling in his stunning eyes. "Did you sleep okay, cutie?" I nod. "That's good...you were pretty upset."
I furrowed my brows. What was I upset about? All I remember is me coming here, giving Bryce a kiss, and us talking until I got tired. "What?"
Bryce continued to stare at me, "babe, college."
The one word sparked my memory and I instantly frowned, remembering our small argument before I got upset and fell asleep from frustration.
Bryce is going to college in a few weeks, and it sucks. I was upset that he'll forget about me and act as he did in his first years of high school.
I remember me just suggesting that we break up and me just yelling at him that he will be a man-whore.
It was all out of anger, some sadness, but I have been moody all day, but I have no one to blame but myself.
"I'm sorry," I whispered, shifting my eyes down. "I was upset and...".
"It's fine, Nathan... I'm sorry for upsetting you, babe." Bryce whispered, running his fingers along the lines of my palms. "I won't let anything happen to us, Nathan."
"I should b-be sorry. I said names. I was a douche."
Bryce opened his arms, gesturing for me to come closer. "Nathan, listen to me. I'm not going to do anything stupid, I'm not going to get drunk and party, I'm not going to hook up with girls every other night, baby... I don't want to break up. I don't want to leave you. I'm not going to do anything stupid, Nathan. I promise."
"They always say not to go to co-college in a relationship. Things will change." I frown, feeling my throat close up. "I don't..." I felt tears burn my eyes, beginning to run down my face. "You're everything to me." I let out a shaky breath, keeping my eyes down. "You can't-"
Bryce wrapped his arms around me, shushing me. I stuff my face into his shoulder, feeling his warmth. "Don't cry, Nath. You'll make me cry." I wrap my arms tighter around him, never wanting to let go. "I don't ever want to be with anyone else, okay? I'll always be here. I'll never cheat or love anyone else, but you. Only you. I promise, Nathan."
I nod, hoping that he will keep that promise. "Okay." I whispered" running my fingers through his hair. I tore my body away from his, keeping it down. I don't want to make him cry, it will kill me.
