Happily Ever After?

Chapter 35: Nathan

Nathan's POV:

"Who are you texting?" Tyler asked, finishing off his bag of cool ranch Doritos and placing it on the table.

"No one." I instinctively replied, pressing the send button on my phone and sliding the device in my pocket.

He grinned mischievously and pointed a finger in my direction. "You... You were texting that girl you met at the club.. What was her name? Amber?" I could feel my face becoming red at his words. Of course I was texting Amber. We were about to start a real relationship together, and I was pretty thrilled about that. I bit into my sandwich with more force than intended.

"Shut up." I snapped at him, swallowing my food, and taking a sip out of my can of soda. Tyler chuckled at his victorious attempt to make me blush.

"Seriously though, dude. Were you texting her?" I could tell by his tone that he was asking me , not because he wanted to make fun , but because he was curious. I nodded and chugged the rest of my drink as well as completing my lunch.

"Do you like her? Like, how I like Taylor?" He questions me, putting me on the spot. Taylor was Tyler's girlfriend. He loved her with technically all his heart, but I knew that wasn't true. I mean, you had to have some heart left for your friends and family, right? Taylor, by the looks of it, loved the dirty blonde boy back with such emotion, I almost couldn't handle it. Just the way their eyes sparkled when they were together, it made everything seem right for them. I blinked my eyes, returning back to reality.

There was nothing else I can do besides tell him I do.. I could lie right to his face but I shook the possibility from my thoughts and said, "Why wouldn't I?" I smirked and added a small laugh, like it was some kind of idiotic question my best friend just asked me. Tyler let out a fake, deep laugh and got up to throw his trash out. By the time he came back, I was long gone.

Amber had texted me saying she wanted me to come over. I had probably been halfway to my car when I received a text from my dirty blonde haired friend, asking where I was. I just ignored it and continued my drive to my new girlfriend's house.

Hey guys! Guess what? The story is almost completed! If you're still intersted in reading another book of mine, a new book, which will be called "Survive" will be coming out when I'm done 'Happily Ever After?'! Who would read another story of mine?
