Addicted ~ Nate Jacobs

Chapter Forty-Two

"Do you mind bringing me home?" Sophie asked Nate hesitantly, after they danced together.

"Of course." Nate reaches into his pocket but nothing was there, "Fuck, uh, I misplaced my keys."

Nate groaned, realizing that Natalie was probably the culprit.

"Fuck." Nate muttered as he pulled out his phone.

Nate

Natalie

Nate
yes or no?

Natalie
u ditched me so I stole ur keys and drove myself home. sorry!

Nate
haha ok. I'll get my truck tmrw. or now if you want to pick us up

Natalie
I'll pass! have soooo much fun

Nate sighed, putting his phone back into his pocket, realizing that they probably had to walk. It's not like it was far, but Sophie was pregnant and in heels and he didn't want her to have to walk that far. Cassie did drive her but Nate assumed that she didn't want to leave just yet. Little did Sophie and Nate know, Natalie was waiting for them a few blocks down the road.

"Uh, looks like we might have to walk."

"That's okay."

"You sure? You're pregnant and in high heels-"

"I'll let you know if I get too tired, but honestly, I should be fine."

Nate and Sophie walked out of the building and began walking down the street. Sophie tripped at one point, but luckily Nate caught her.

"Maybe you should take off your shoes." Nate suggested and she sighed.

"This is going to sound really weird but, I'm at the point that I can't just bend down and undo them because of my bump. So, can you um, undo them for me?"

Nate nodded and bent down and undid both of her heels for her and she stepped out of them, letting out a relieved sigh.

"I don't want you walking in bare feet though." Nate said as he bit the inside of his cheek, "You could wear my shoes."

"Nate, it's fine. I have flats in my purse." Sophie said, pulling them out and throwing them on the ground before sliding her feet into them.

The two of them continued to walk in silence, not by choice, but because Nate was actually more upset than Sophie for once. He had so many negative thoughts running through his mind that he could barely focus on what was right in front of him.

And then it happened.

Without warning, a truck identical to Nate's crept up behind them and was speeding towards them. Nate just happened to turn around, but it was too late and both of them were hit by the truck, sending them crashing onto the cold and hard asphalt.

Fezco was driving home after his job when he watched a truck hit a couple on the street. He didn't realize until he got closer that it was Nate and Sophie and he pulled over and ran to them. Whoever was driving the truck that hit them ended up running into a tree on the other side of the road. He got out of his car and could hear Nate yelling at Sophie, who wasn't moving or saying anything.

"Sophie, baby. Answer me. Wake up." Nate yelled to her.

Fez ran over to Nate first, who was grabbing his leg in pain, "Fuck, man."
