Blindsided

chapter 1

song: there you are - zayn

honk. i hear nate beep his car horn. i finish covering up my red hand print on my cheek from last night. it has some bruising. let's just say nate can slap good. i take one last look at myself in the mirror and adjust my tennis skirt.

i race down the stairs locking up the house. my mum hasn't been home for a few days. she probably out messing around with some guy again. my brother just recently moved to college and my sister is staying with my dad until it's a stable home here. luckily i can take care of myself. besides i have nate.

i see nate in the drivers seat smiling at me. my heart warms up. it's a feeling i get whenever i see him smile. i just want to see him happy.

"i'm sorry. i woke up late" i say smiling admiring him.
"it's ok. we will just have to be late" he says leaning in giving me a kiss.

i shut the door and the car starts moving.

"oh and i wanted to apologise from last night. i didn't mean to hit you and i'm truly sorry" nate says in a genuine voice.
"nate it's fine" i cut him off
"no it's not." he says firmly

i roll my eyes playfully and look at the window.

"you know i never want to hurt you. it wasn't my intentions" he says on the verge of tears.

i turn around concerned for my boyfriend.

"nate. don't apologise. i'm sure i was probably being annoying or obnoxious again and i'm sorry" i say as i hold his hand.

"you not annoying or obnoxious. your perfect" nate says while taking his eyes off the road for a second to look at me.

"i love you" nate says
"i love u more" i respond
"impossible" nate speaks

i smile to myself. nates the only good thing in my life. i never want to lose him.

we arrive at school.

we both walk into school hand in hand. all the jocks come up to nate, of course and say how amazing he did last night.

i give him a kiss and walk away to find my friends.

"omg bailey! guess what" october yells
"what now october" i say and roll my eyes playfully.
"jayden smiled at me today and said i looked pretty" she says and i swear her eyes turned into hearts.
"oh boy" i say
"yeah i have had to listen to this all morning" amara says annoyed.
"poor you" i respond while walking off with them.

"anyways how was nate after loosing the game last night?" amara asks

memories of last night came back. should i tell them? no what am i thinking. it was a mistake and they will overreact.

"yeah he was fine. he was a bit bummed about it but we got mcdonald's after so it wasn't that bad" i say trying to persuade them that we had a good night.

"oh that's good" they both respond.

nobody can know about last night. people will think nates a monster.
