Chapter 14

~Nathan's POV~

It takes me about ten seconds to contemplate whether I should answer the damn call or not. So in the end I finally decide to answer it. "The fuck you want!?"

"Pfft come on. Don't tell me Rob is still pissy over his girlfriend!" Dillan laughed on the other end.

I could almost punch his throat‚ only problem is I can't. "Dillan piss off! What the fuck do you want!?"

"There's a beach party tonight. Just thought you might want to join."

"No‚ thank you."

"Oh come on. Robbie can come too. It will be fun having you there…the ladies and Twinks just can't stop talking about you."

Great now I have to deal with this too. "I said I'm good."

"Really? Well let's see how Robbie would feel if he finds out that his bestfriend‚ in the whole wide world‚ knew that I have been dumping my spunk inside his girlfriend for the pass seven months. Wouldn't he feel ecstatic‚ huh?"

Shit. I completely forgot about that‚ I mean it didn't matter to me or bother me at all after I saw the breakup had little to no affect on Robert. But if he finds out I did hide something like that from him the entire time‚ Robert will lose his trust in me. I can't let that happen.

"Hello? You there?" that son of a bitch is still talking.

I have to think of a solution. Tapping my fingers in the steering wheel while keeping my eyes on the road. I then glance at my phone and exhale. "Be there in an hour." Before I end the call.

I soon arrive at my house and park in the garage before I stop. I turn the engine off and move my hands over my face. I was fucked. It looked like Dillan wanted to use me to lure more guests at this party. If I go there more girls will be there‚ it turns out quite a lot are in love with my cock. But it belongs to one man now and I will keep it that way.

This only gives me one more option.

I grab my phone and open my speed dial. And then I call that very specific contact of mine.

"Hello." A woman answered on the otherside of the line.

"Hey there gurl. We need to talk!"

~~~

The drive to Shado's house was quick. I made it quick because I used my bike during the ride and parked right under the tree outside. The usual spot.

Next I jump off and head over to the doorstep‚ greeted by a blonde in just a bra and some cowgirl shirts. "Mmm hey babe!" she yelled back inside. "Someone's here to see you!"

I grin at her before scratching my nose. "You can atleast put some clothes on Niveia."

Niveia threw her head back‚ laughing‚ and then she turned around swaying her hips. "You can look but you can't touch. Shado doesn't mind letting the world see what's hers."

"Hmm I'm afraid Robert has a motto of his own!"

We both grin ear to ear. Niveia is Shado's girlfriend. These are the friends I made in the Cladworth High.

Pretty soon the devil makes an appearance. Dressed in her leather jacket, black top, black jeans and black boots‚ she stepped out giving me a look. "I assume you finally tied the knot now that you mentioned that name."

I give her a look. Oddly she and I are the same height and she's rather wellbuilt too. "I'm afraid it hasn't come to that yet and I am here to tell you there might also be a small problem that could delay that."

"A problem I could help with?"

"Yes."

"Come inside."

I nod and walk through the door. Niveia disappearing into one of the other rooms‚ while Shado and I head down the hallway to her study. We go on inside before she walks to her desk. Getting two glasses before filling them up with something to drink. She hands the drink to me and then I chug it all down‚ handing it to her for a refill.

"So what's the problem. Or should I say who?" She eyes me again‚ handing me my second glass.

I slowly take it from her and stare at the liquid inside it. "I messed up. I knew that Desna has been cheating on Robert…and I've been hiding it from him the entire time."

"Wow. Way to go Nathan!" Niveia came walking in‚ chewing on some cheese crackers. One of Robert's favourites.

"What…I'm trying to say‚" I sip on my whisky as I look back at Shado‚ "I want to get rid of Desna and this guy Dillan‚ permanently."

"Woah!" Shado held her hand up. "Look I get that you are trying to save your ass here‚ but it's not going to help anyone. Trust me."

"I am doing this for him. For us!"

"And I agreed to help you and do whatever it takes to help you look out for Robert‚ knowing what type of guy he is. Especially after being in that damn shit school. We went through some deepshit and I will always help you…but there is only one solution here. You tell him the truth."

"Are you serious?" I scoff finding it a bit amusing. "I can't lose him Shado. I am not going to lose him. If you are not helping me…I am doing this on my own!"

"…Or you'll just make it worse. You need to think tactical about this. Going on a killing spree like you are doing now…puts you at risk and will most likely ruin your relationship with him when he finds out that you killed someone just so he wouldn't find out you kept secrets from him."

"Shado's right‚" Niveia adds‚ "Just tell him. Explain to him why you did it. I'm sure he will understand."

How can they be so sure? Not like they know him as well as I do and I know Robert better than anyone. Once you puts his trust in you and you break it‚ there is no getting it back. Things had just finally started to become great for us and Dillan wants to ruin it. I won't let him.

I clench my fists looking at Shado.

Shado only gives me a knowing look before shaking her head‚ "No…Nathan…just take a deep breath…you are not acting rationally."

"Oh I am! The most rational thing to do right now‚ is to get rid of what's threatening my relationship with Robert!"

"Well right now…" Niveia said behind me. When did she get behind me!? "The only threat to yourself….is you!"

And then something hard hits the back of my head. Next moment I'm on the floor. My heas spinning as my eyes look around‚ trying to comprehend what just happened.

That little bitch hit me over the head. Wow!

"…Did I kill him!?" I hear the faint sound of Niveia's voice.

"He'll wake up‚ he's a tough cookie. Hopefully by then he'll see what an idiot he truly is."

~~~

Hours have passed my eyes finally open and I regain my consciousness. I know that because the moment I opened them‚ I stared at an open window and it was night outside. I must've been out for awhile.

I groan and slowly push myself off the bed I found myself on. I then look around and can hear voices come from another room. Damn that Shado. She really wasn't going to help me or let me leave to take care of Dillan myself.

I have calmed down a little and now I am thinking about it. If I just tell Robert the truth‚ would he understand my intention behind it? He has to understand that I never liked his relationship with Desna and probably cursed upon it everyday hoping it would end. It was still wrong of me to hide everything but I didn't want to be the one to tell him and possibly break his heart at the time. I knew eventually he would found out…it only took longer than I thought and now he's not even affected by it as I thought he would.

"You're awake." Shado says as she slowly walks inside‚ smoking her vape before she comes to sit next to me. "You finally came to your senses?"

"You're right…" I mumbled‚ not ready to admit that to myself yet but anything to prevent her from nagging me. "I should tell him." I close my eyes for awhile.

I can hear her smiling as she pats my shoulder‚ "Good. I just want you to know that if your friendship with him really is that special‚ then he can't just throw it all away over one mistake. I mean who is his girlfriend compared to you?"

I let my eyes fall open again and only smile at her. Niveia comes walking inside with an apologetic smile‚ I assume because she was the one who hit me over the head. I reach for the back of my head and there's just a small bump. It's not even noticeable.

But Niveia didn't come here to apologize for what I thought she did‚ "I think your guy just called. I answered and like he didn't talk ..he just dropped the call in my ear…so I thought like maybe you should call him back."

Robert called me!? My eyes widen as I jump up and take my phone from her. I stare at the screen and it's 10:15 fucking pm! Shit! For how long was I out!?

"I need to go …what did he say?" I ask her. The panic clear in my voice. If I was out for this long then Robert probably got worried and now a woman answered my phone. That could look wrong in so many ways‚ "What did you say to him!?"

"Just…Hello…?"

"Fuck!" I hold my head‚ tightening my fist as I tug hard on my blonde locks. Shado has concern drawn on her face‚ but I don't have much time to be here. Things may have just gotten worse. How do I explain this to him!? "I need to go."

"Then you should hurry." Shado insisted as she stood up‚ placing her vape in her mouth with one hand in her pocket.

I nod at her and storm out of that house. I get on my bike and I head back to Eastville. The wind blowing over my head as I speed up a little more. I don't normally wear a helmet it kind of makes it hard to push over the speed limit‚ which I love to do‚ but it gets annoying when you have to maneuver around with this thing on your head. I have skills so I know how to ride a bike at full speed atleast without causing an accident.

But even as I keep going faster and faster it feels like time takes me forever to get there. I'm so fucked.

After finally nearing his house‚ I begin to slow down. I then wait just outside hit gate and move over to the keypad to punch in the access code. Once the gate opens I move inside‚ turn off the engine before I get off my bike and walk up to his doorstep.

I see the lights to the kitchen and his bedroom are still on. He must be awake. So I lightly knock on the door. It takes minutes‚ which feels like hours to me‚ for him to open the door.

Once he finally pulls it open I'm met by a stare. One I never thought would ever look at me in such a way. His eyes bloodshot and he nearly stumbles over‚ but I'm quick to catch him.

'Good he's drunk …he didn't cry…'

"What are you doing here?" Robert slightly slurs. His hands pushing against my chest like he wants to push me away‚ but I stay still. "Leave!"

"You're drunk." I shove my way in with ease. He has the strength to charge against me‚ but not when he is drunk. "Let's get you to bed."

"I'm not tired!"

I roll my eyes then lift him up myself‚ kicking the door shut‚ before walking to the stairs. His body like a bag of potatoes over my shoulder. I guess being slightly bigger than him can come in handy sometimes‚ I do have to admit that his muscle mass does make him heavy.

Once I get him tucked in bed‚ I take his shoes off. I know that I am the reason he is upset‚ but at the time I am not focused on that. I just want him to get some rest and sober up.

I rather quickly fell asleep and I just watched him. Like a creep in the dark with my arms folded above my chest.

He looks so innocent. So peaceful. And now I know that look on his face will be gone the moment he wakes up and I am willing to stay and fight for him every step of the way.
