Married at 19 novel Chapter 8

　　Nathan cried in my arms that night. Luckily I was there when he was about to fall or else he might be broken his foot that time. He surely in sadness and I just couldn’t do nothing about it. I’m a useless friend for him who can’t afford to comfort him properly when he needed it.

　　Sasha tried to comfort him already, but it won't do either, our other friends too, but still he just locked himself in his dorm for about several days now. Seth couldn’t even do nothing about it as his roommate. He told us that Nathan will start shouting if he tried to comfort or even speak to him.

　　I'm truly worried about him. I as his friend really don't want him to fall sick if he keeps acting like that. Seth said he didn't eat much, he only lying in his bed, crying.

　　"Are you planning to see him, Bella?" I was surprised a bit when Sasha suddenly patting my shoulder as I was thinking about Nathan’s condition.

　　"Hey, girl...." She smirked. "Why are you surprised all of sudden? What are you thinking right now?"

　　"U-um...no....nothing." as usual Bella Dawson will started to stutter. "I'm not thinking about anything."

　　She knits her eyebrow. "Really Bella?"

　　"Y-yes....Sasha. Why would I lied to you?"

　　She shrugged. "I don't know. Maybe you're hiding something from me?"

　　Oh for your information, none of our friends knew that Nathan was with me that night. I didn’t tell anyone so everyone will not think nonsense about us. "What do you mean, Sasha?" I scoot away from my bed and went to my study desk to organize my anatomy books. "I'm not hiding anything from you, trust me."

　　"Oh yeah...." She still didn't trust me right?

　　Oh god....what should I supposed to say to her?

　　I just can't tell her:

　　Oh yes Sasha, I'm actually hiding something from you. It's about Nathan, I have been crushing for him since we were kids, how about that?

　　No....that should be a secret for me to keep. Or she will tell him about my feeling to him. I just can't handle myself if he rejects me.

　　"Hey....where are you now?" She flicked her finger in front of my face to wake me up from daydreamed, again.

　　"Oh....sorry." I gave her a quick smile. "Still here, in this room. Sorry about that."

　　"So, are you going or not?" She knits her eyebrow, waiting for my answer which I really don't understand what she means by that.

　　"Go to where?" I'm currently have no idea right now.

　　She sighed heavily. "Oh my god....really Bella?"

　　"What?" I’m so in confused with her question.

　　"Ugh....just forget it." She totally pissed off with me right? "I'll be going out with Seth now, see you later!!"

　　She swiftly went out from the front door without waiting for me for a reply.

　　She did frustrated with me…ughh…sorry Sasha.

　　"U-umm......Nathan." I called him, although I was stuttering at first.

　　He slowly looks up at me, with his eyes look so puffy because of crying so much. His blue eyes are full with sorrow which totally different than before which look livelier.

　　He didn't speak at all but only gave me a weak smile. He then moved his gaze back to the untouched food in front of him.

　　"Na-Nathan, are you okay?" I brave myself more to ask about his condition.

　　He just nodded as an answer.

　　I think he needs time to be alone and I made a big mistake to approach him at the first place, "Oh...okay. I think I should go now. Just let me know if you want anything.”

　　I decided to leave him alone, since he looks like he doesn't want to be disturb. But suddenly, he grabbed my wrist when I was about to walk away from the table.

　　"Please......stay." He said, weakly.

　　I turned to look at him again, and he was looking at me with his ocean blue eyes were full with tears.

　　"I....just need....someone to talk with." His voice is even cracked. Actually, I really don't like to hear his voice like that. It makes me feel....hurt.

　　"B-but...."

　　He cuts me off, "Please.....Bella."
