Together forever.

Ch.40

Jamie's POV

I walked back downstairs and sat in the kitchen. Why is he such an ass? Lilly walks in with a bag full of groceries. I check my watch to see that its 9:00.

"I'm gonna go to bed. Had a rough day," I sighed getting up.

"You barely did anything today," she laughed.

"It doesn't matter!"

I climbed the stairs and walked pass Nolan's room. He seemed awfully quite. I shrugged and walked to my room. I changed into my footy pajamas which were blue penguins. I lay on my bed and tried to fall asleep but it was no use. I heard sobbing coming from the room beside mine. I put me ear on the wall and the crying got louder. I hesitated and knocked on the wall once.

After a few minutes someone knocked back twice. I remember Nolan telling me that his room was next to mine, so I'm guessing he's the one crying. I knocked again three times on the wall beside my bed, then Nolan did the same. His crying got louder and I was worried. Yeah, he treats me awfully but I still care. I got out of bed and walked to his room. I opened his door to see smashed objects on the floor. Mostly glass. Nolan was on his bed, curled up in a ball and crying with the sheets covering his body. I walked over to him and sat on his bed.

"Nolan?" I asked nicely.

"Go away," he sobbed. I sat closer to him.

"What's wrong?" I ask again. He lifted his head up and stared.

"Why do you care?" He questioned standing up. I shot up and walked against the wall. He backed me up breathing heavy with tears down his face. He balled up a fist and pointed it at me.

"Please no," I begged touching his arm looking away. He threw the punch but it was beside my head. He looked at his arm which my hand was still touching and sighed. Thank God it didn't hit me. He stepped back sitting on his bed. I slowly walked over to him and took a seat.

"N-Nolan, what seems to be the problem?" I ask. Even though he just tried to hurt me, I'm eager to know.

"You," he said crying again.

"I don't think you heard my question. I asked what's your problem," I explained and he looked at me.

"Your my problem," he said. I am beyond confused. I shifted closer to him.

"What do you mean?"

"Annabelle...." He trailed.

"Please explain, " I begged. I'm willing to know why he hates my guts.

"Why do you hate me?" I ask.

"I don't hate you," he replies.

"Then what's your deal?"

"Annabelle."

"I'm confused. Who's Annabelle?"

"She......she was my past girlfriend," he said near tears again.

"Did she leave you for another?" I question.

"Something like that...." He said rubbing he face.

"Tell me everything. I'm all ears," I say resting my hand on his shoulder. He hesitated for a minute then began.

"I've dated Annabelle for five full years. We we're always together, never apart. Although we might not be seen in the same room, out hearts are still connected. Till one day....she met this guy. Always hanging with him now instead of me. There was something fishy about him, I told her not to hang with him but she never listened. I've never seen this guy in person, but Annabelle liked him a lot. On the day before our two year anniversary, she sent me a text saying she wants to see other people. I was hurt but o understood her thoughts. On the day of our anniversary she sent me text saying she was sorry she ever doubted me and she wanted me back. She also said she never knew he'd turn out to be psycho. I texted her yes but the next day she was on the news. They said she was......," he stopped there and teared up again.

"They said what? They said what!?" I ask getting worried.

"They said she was dead," he cried. I was so shocked.

"Nolan, I'm sorry for you loss....but what does that have to do with me?"

"Your exactly like her. Your like her exact replica. You have the same color hair as her, you look like her, you act like her and you even talk something like her. You remind me so much of what used to be and it hurts. No matter how much I try to move on, when I see your face, I'm stuck," he sobbed. This is so sad, no wonder he's so lonely.

"Why did you miss the punch?" I ask out of the blues.

"Cause.....hurting you would be like.....hurting my lost soul mate. I miss her so much but there's nothing I can do," he said sadly. This is the closest I have ever gotten with him. I scooted closer hoping he won't push me off. He scooted closer to me too.

"There is one thing that keeps me up at night," he said looking at the walls.

"What's that?"

"Every night I would here the floor creaking in front of my door. Then the door would somehow push open although there's no one there. Then I would see a shadow walk around my room. The shadow would always whisper " I'm sorry...." Then the shadow would disappear," he sighed. The first word that popped into my head was ghost. No way, I don't believe in those........or do I?

"Do you think its her? Apologizing?" I ask.

"I......I don't know," he replied. I curled my legs up on his bed. A moment of silence.

"Look, I'm sorry we got off on the wrong foot," he said pleading for forgiveness. I forgave him and stared at him.

"You know, you are really cute to begin with," I complimented.

"Thanks. Your quite beautiful yourself. I like you," he smiled. I wiped away his tear and kissed his forehead. I got up and walked to my room.

"Night Nolan," I smiled walking out. I reached my room and lie down. Twenty minutes later Nolan knocked at my door.

"I can't sleep. Can I stay here?" He begged. I moved over and he sat beside me. I feel awkward sleeping with another guy. Is this.......cheating?
