ON YOUR KNEES | DEREK LUH {COMPLETE}

22. "rose"

N A T E

"Aren't you excited, bud?" Matt's eyes traveled on my back as my eyes stared out of the little window that was to the left of me, staring out.

"Maybe this was a mistake," I simply shrug, looking back at him as he had furrowed eyebrows, confused on why I would say sort of a thing. "I just left. I didn't even tell anyone, not even Rose, Matt."

"This is a one time thing, Nate," he rolls his eyes, hitting the side of my shoulder, as I agree. You don't just get asked to go to Jamaica. It's a beautiful place, and I hear there are plenty of coconuts there and I love coconuts.

"I just feel bad, man. I left her when I first asked her out and I'm almost out everyday making music, hardly ever seeing her when I'm in town and I'm now leaving for Jamaica for about two weeks," I shrug, "I just feel bad."

"Rose probably understands," Matt tries to make me feel better as it just made me feel much worse. Rose probably thinks I'm the worst boyfriend ever right now.

"I guess."

"Anyways, tell me about Rose," Matt continues to type out on his laptop that was placed onto the little desk that you pull out that was located on the chair infront of him. He was responding to emails. "You seem to really love this girl."

"Seem? I do," I counter. "she's not just my bestfriend. She's my girlfriend, my everything." Matt coughs at that, giving me a signal that he didn't agree with me- or something.

"What, Matt?" I look over at him as I begin to feel heat rise to my cheeks.

"I mean there are plenty of fishes in the sea, Nate. You're twenty-one. You have girls throwing themselves at you on the internet left and right, c'mon. Rose? Pft." He doesn't bother looking at me, but still typing on his laptop.

"You're telling me that I should drop Rose?" I cock an eyebrow.

"Yes but no," Matt stops typing to look over at me. "Rose isn't the only girl out there."

My mind was overflowing with thoughts. Why the hell am I even here with Matt? Why is he saying bad stuff about Rose? What the hell did Rose do?

"What the hell are you saying, Matt?" I ask. "you don't even know the damn girl!"

"Drop it."

"I don't want to," my heart begins to pick up the pace of beating, I felt uneasy now. I wanted to get off of this plane with him and I wanted to go see Rose. She was the only one who knew how to make me feel safe. "Is there something you're trying to say, bro?"

"No, no, no," Matt throws off the conversation. "I didn't mean it like that-I meant like you're big. You're famous, man. You can't say that you're not with millions following you. I feel like you could get action everyday. I just don't think you should be tied down by Rose," he continues to ramble on as I just block him out of my thoughts.

Why the hell did I even agree to go on this trip? "Tied down? But I'm not."

"You really are."

"How?!"

"It's like you think everything is affecting her. What? You get a fish and you need to know that Rose is okay with it. It's like she's your mother or something."

"That's not even- what the fuck, Matt?"

"What? It's the truth."

"I don't want to be on this plane anymore-especially with you, you annoying little piece of shit." I curse, slouching down in my chair as I look up and pray to God that I don't snap this little boy's head off.

"Nate, chill."

There's something with the word chill that I hate.
