Addicted- Nate Jacobs

Twenty Five

"Did you hear about Maddy?" Cassie asked me as we were walking to the track

"No"

"Apparently she pressed charges against that guy who raped her at that party"

"What?"

"Yeah she texted me last night"

"Cassie he didn't rape her"

"I know it's fucked up"

Cassie and I departed ways and I went to the track to meet with the girls. Obviously Nate was the one who helped frame Tyler, I mean Maddy wouldn't just go do that on her own. But still it doesn't make sense, everyone know Maddy wouldn't just give the tape back, and it does her no good having Tyler in jail. So what does she want, she not doing this out of the kindness of her heart. Somethings going on.

I shrugged it off until the end of practice. I grabbed my shit from the locker room and made my way to meet Nate like any other day.

"How was practice?" I asked trying to be as normal as possible

"Fine" he was in a mood today, probably not a good day to press him but I needed answers

"What's wrong?" I asked moving my hand on top of his

"Nothing, my dad has just been being ass"

"I'm sorry"

"We can go back to my house? If you want"

"Yeah, I really don't want to deal with him right now"

I nodded my head, let's just get this over with now I guess

"Can I ask you something?"

"Yeah"

"Why did Maddy go to the police?"

"How do you know?"

"Why does it matter"

"Because that shot doesn't need to be spreading around, so how do you know?"

"Cassie, how do you know?"

"Liv"

"No nate, you have done nothing but lie to me. I deserve to know"

"I told her I would put that fucker in jail if she gave me the tape back"

"So you framed Tyler, for something he didn't do"

"Whether she was blacked out or no, he still had sex with a minor, he deserved to go jail" he raised his voice

"It doesn't matter anymore Liv, it's over. And don't go spreading shit around"

"Why would I do that, that only makes me look bad"

"Why would Maddy want Tyler in jail though?"

"Attention, so she can be the girl who got raped" 

"Still it just seems weird" 

"Everything about this is weird liv, can we just drop it already" 

"Okay" i said quietly, taking my hand back 

"I'm sorry, i just have a lot going on" This time he put his hand on my thigh 

"Its okay" 

We arrived at my house and luckily my mom wasn't home

"Where's your dad?" he asked as i unlocked the door 

"Your guess is as good as mine" i said walking in 

"He took off when i was three, he sends me birthday cards every year but that's about it" 

"I'm sorry Liv" he pulled me close and kissed my forehead 

"He's probably an asshole anyways, i mean only asshole leave their wife and kids for some other chick right?" 

"Only assholes do that" 

"Come on lets go watch a movie or something" he said grabbing my hand and leading me to the stairs 

----------------------------

"Are we going to Homecoming together?" i asked as Nate laid on my chest and i ran my fingers through his hair 

"Do you want to?"

"Yeah"

"Then yes"

"You're supposed to ask me" i laughed 

"Do you want to go to homecoming with me?" he sat up 

"Ill have to think about it" i teased 

"Whatever" he chuckled and went in for a kiss 

"I would love to go to homecoming with you" i said after he pulled away
