PERFECT
Nathan's P. O. V
"Baby, where have you been all this while? You got us worried ",my Aunt said immediately I entered into the house.
I ignored her and walked to the sitting room, I am so stressed out and confused, last thing I want is for someone to make me feel worst. I can kill just to jump on my king size bed and to be left alone with my thought.
"Baby-"
"Aunt, please. I am so tired.", I said exhaustedly and walked toward the stairs.
"A girl named Mae has been coming over to check on you. She was worried sick about you. You weren't reply our calls or text.",I stopped on my track.
Oh shit! I forgot that I even owned a phone. She must be worried sick now. I checked my trousers and brought out my phone. 50 missed calls and 15 text messages, great. I checked who the missed call was from, it was from Aunt, Uncle, Andre, Light, Josh and Mae. 28 missed call from Mae and 10 text messages from her.
"I will be home late.", I said to no one in particular and left the house.
Immediately I got out of the house I texted Mae. I got into my car and got a text from her it read; Can't sorry. I need to take care of things at home.
I quickly drove to her house as I drove to her house I couldn't get my dad's voice out of my head. He is right they have tortured me for far to long. She took my sister from me, I can't let her go free but that was her past. I mean it is the fault of the rift between wizards/witches and demonites. If they weren't adamant on killing each other Mae won't have killed my sister. I love her and that is all that should matter.....right? Who is he anyways to tell me what to do and what not to do after 18 years of my life.
"Hey", a man yelled and I held the brake and my car jerked.
"Look at where you are going ", he said angrily and drove out.
I parked my car and cried till my heart content. I let all the pain I held deep inside come out through tears. My heart broke into a million pieces and the only person who can fix it is the love of my life and my sisters murderer. How can I get mad at her when I know it's not her fault? How do I tell my father that I love his daughters murder so much that I don't have the heart to revenge? How do I stop my heart from bleeding? How can I be happy when I feel guilty?.
After a while, I wiped my tears and drove to Mae's house. As I got into her house, my heart bled more. I felt like I am doing the right thing but yet it felt wrong. I knocked and the person who opened the door brought a smile to my face. She reciprocated the smile and I led her to my car. We got in and sat in silence.
"How have you been?",she asked and I held her hand.
"Good. Just been tired lately ",I replied.
"Where have you been?",she finally blurted out.
"Out-"
"Out? Nathan are you mad at me?",her voice held pain and it broke my heart to hear her voice.
"No-"
"Then where have you been? Why weren't you answering your text or calls? I was worried sick and I knew my ma had something to do with it because ever since you guys had that talk you haven't been responding to your calls or text. I am willing to fight the world for your sake, I don't mind going against my family just for you. I love you Nate and nothing else matters. I don't care if our kinds ain't meant to be, perhaps I am more of a witch than I am a demonite",she let out a fake laugh that caused it me to frown.
She is willing to go against the people that matters to her while I am not willing to do same. I mean she is right, she is more of a witch and I am more of a demonite, ironic isn't it?.
I held her hands and kissed them. I kissed them with every bit of my heart and I swear I felt our heart beat in synch. A tears dropped on my hand and quickly wiped it off before she could notice.
"Why were you not picking your calls? ",she asked slowly and I was silent.
"Why did you make us worried sick? No one knew of your whereabout, not your aunt and or uncle not even Andre",she asked again and I was quiet again.
"Please Nate. I deserve to know where my boyfriend was",she squeezed my hands tight and that was the straw that broke the camels back.
I couldn't hold it anymore. I began to cry. Hearing her call me her boyfriend with concern in her tone made it harder to contain my emotions. She drew me close to her as I cried on her shoulders. I let it all out and for some reason I felt comfortable been vulnerable around her. She stroked my hair as she kissed my hair.
After some minutes, I pulled away and wiped the tears that fell on my cheeks. I looked at her and realized, I don't care about her past and what other people think of her. I love her and that's all that matters.
"I went to see my father ",I broke the silence.
"I thought you said he was dead",she asked and I nodded.
"I thought so until few days ago",I said and she held my hand and kissed it.
"That's nice. Is he willing to play the father figure?",she asked and I nodded.
"Then give him a chance. Atleast your father is seeking for redemption unlike mine. Forget the past and seize the future. He is the only family you have got now. Do whatever it takes to make the bond stronger. ",she ended and I kissed her passionately.
She was right, he is the only family I have, it won't kill me to try to make it work but I don't think I will be willing to hurt her even for a little while and that's what he wants.
The kiss held happiness and passion. I enjoyed it and I prayed she knew how much I love her with the way I kissed her. We rested her forehead against each other and pulled away after a while.
We sat in silence for while, we talked about her family and the fight Rita and Red had, we both found ourselves smiling and that felt good. We got out of the car and I escorted her to the house before I entered into the car.
I picked up my phone and texted Andre, " Are you home?". He replied after two minutes," yes bro. Where are you?". I started the car and drove to his place.
I got of the car after I reached his house. I rang the bell and he came out. After taking a proper look at me, he hugged me and pulled me inside.
"What's up bro?",he asked after giving me a glass of cold water.
"My father is alive ",I said and his eyes widened.
"Who is he?"
"Our principal, Kelvis John".
