We drove back to his apartment, and he carried Hannah in and placed her back in bed.
"What do you want to drink? I can make hot choclate or something" Nate said, heading towards the kitchen.
"Beer." I said, bluntly.
"You're 15."
"And you're my teacher, but we are dating. I want beer." I said, sternly.
He came back out with two beers in his hand.
"So, what was that all about?" he asked, handing me a beer.
He sat on the couch next to me, and wrapped his arm around my shoulders.
I took a long slow sip before replying.
"I'm an abused sl*t."
"What are you talking about, Jadyn?" he said, rubbing my leg in a comforting way.
I sighed hard, "When I met you, I was such a little sl*t. I slept with older guys that I didn't even know, and up until two years ago I was abused by my father. But they put him in jail. He's out now. When I got in the car with Riley, she called me a sl*t. Told me to start acting like a real person, and that I need to think. That Justin is head over heals for me. I was so mad, I called them both fake friends, and went storming into my house. My dad was sitting on my couch. I was so scared. I didn't know what to do. So I ran. Then they showed up at the park, and he was about to kiss me until you pulled up."
I told him all that with tears streaming down my face.
"You wanted him to kiss you."
That's all he said to me.
"No, it felt wrong. I just wanted to be in your arms. You pulled up before I had time to pull away." I said, explaining myself.
"How are you so sure you would of pulled away?"
"Because I finally found someone I love and wanna be with.. You." I felt tingly inside.
I had never said I love you to anyone.
"I love you so much." I said, staring into his eyes.
He grabbed my face and kissed me long and hard. When he pulled away, he muttered, "I love you, too."
