"Thank you, sweetheart," Grandma Marie said to Nathan as he helped her into her bedroom. "You're welcome, grandma," he said and she smiled as she sat on her bed. The woman was a little bit pale but she still had a little glow in her eyes. Her dark brown hair had patches of silvery white that made it look beautiful and with the way the moved at talk, you could tell that she was a spirit-filled woman when she was younger."Are you staying for dinner?" She asked him. Nathan shook his head, "I'll be on my way now."The woman frowned, "That's nonsense. Stay the night."Willow walked in with her grandmother's bag, "What's wrong grandma?" "Oh nothing, dearie. I was just getting Nathan to spend the night and he agreed and he'll be staying with you in your room," her grandmother said and Willow choked."Grandma!" she exclaimed.The woman waved her off before laying on her bed. "I just got out of the hospital, don't stress me," she said. Willow huffed and dragged Nathaniel out of the room whil
"I'm going to fail, Will. I am going get a big fat F on my papers!" Evelyn cried out as she banged her head on the book she was holding. Willow rolled her eyes as she pretended not to know her while people that the coffee shop turned their attention to them."Why are you not saying anything?" Evelyn exclaimed when she saw her best friend drinking her coffee without looking at her. "Oh, I'm thinking of the perfect plan I'll use to escape from being embarrassed by your madness," Willow said with a smile and Evelyn huffed. "So much for being a best friend," she muttered and opened her text book again."I am hundred percent sure you won't fail your exams, Eve. You're a smart girl," Willow told her. Eve snorted, "That's a lie. I'm dumb compared to you." "Nah, I'm just hardworking. All you need to do is focus on your work," Willow said to her."I wish I had your confidence," Eve sighed and her best friend gave her a smile. "Just because I'm not panicking like you doesn't mean I'm confident.
Willow walked out of her exam hall looking like she just finished fighting world war iii. She was in no mood to talk to anyone at the moment and everyone could sense that. Even though she had spent majority of her time studying her anatomy handouts, she still couldn't grasp the concepts perfectly."What's done is done," she mumbled quietly, with the urge to drown her sorrows in tequila but she knew she couldn't.This was her second to the last exam and by tomorrow, she'd be done with all her exams.She didn't see where she was going and bumped into someone. "I'm sorry," she mumbled and a huff from the person got her attention. "Now my day is ruined, great!" Crystal exclaimed with irritation and her friends laughed. Willow rolled her eyes and was about to walk past them when Crystal spoke. "Stop forcing yourself to be with Nathan. We both know he doesn't want you, he's just using you to get to me," she said and Willow sighed."Not this again," she thought to herself and turned to face
Exam were over and now everyone was celebrating their survival of their papers. While others were enjoying themselves, a group of students were in a café having a discussion."I can't believe he actually wants a beach themed party!" Evelyn exclaimed with irritation. "He just wants to see hot girls in bikini," Marcus says and the other guys nodded in agreement.Evelyn rolled her eyes, "Typical Chase." Yes, they were seated at a café planning their dear friend's birthday party which was in three days. "Are we getting a DJ?" Dylan asked and Nathan nodded. " It'll be an all-day beach party, since he wants to celebrate his last birthday before he becomes an official adult, according to him," he said with a shrug and they laughed."That guy is unbelievable," Marcus added and they agreed. After their discussion, they departed to their various residents. Nathan, on the other hand, decided to take Willow home."So what are you going to be doing before your graduation? Willow asked as they walk
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!"Everyone sang and began to clap as Chase blew out the candles on his cake. "Let's get this party started!" the DJ yelled and everyone squealed happily as music blared out through the large speakers.Everyone scattered themselves over the beach while Chase went to meet his friends. "I swear I was joking when I said I wanted a beach themed party," he said to them and they laughed. He was still looking confused and lost."Enjoy it while it lasts, bro," Marcus patted his back and turned to Dylan. "Let's cause havoc somewhere," he said and everyone laughed. Willow and Evelyn watched as the guys went in their different directions. Nathan and Chase had gone to get them drinks so they were left on a blanket under a coconut tree."Thank God it's not that sunny, I'm not ready to be looking for a tan remover cream," Willow said and Evelyn laughed. "After graduation is summer," she said and Willow nodded. "I'm going back to spend it with my parents in Miami," Evelyn said
It's been four days since Chase's birthday party and four days since Willow started ignoring Nathan. But today couldn't be helped.Why?Because today was his sister's wedding and she saw dressed in a dream colored sundress that stopped below her knees and was paired with a pair of cream flats. Eve helped her pin her hair backwards with a cream bow."Are you sure you can go? He won't mind since you're sick," Eve said to her. Willow waved her off, "He doesn't know I'm sick and no one is telling him." She didn't want him to start showing care again, it'll only make it worse.Eve gave her a worried look but allowed her to leave the room. "I'll text you later," Willow said and she nodded, watching her leave the dorm.Her phone began to ring and she swallowed hard before picking the call. "Thank you for finally answering my call," Nathan's voice was edgy which made her wince. "I'm sorry," she mumbled. "I'm outside," he said and hung up.She sighed and went to look for him.She found him lea
"Let's break up"Was what Willow said as she stepped out of Nathan's car. Nathan frowned as he stepped out of the car and went to her side. "And where is this coming from?" he asked as he held her so she wouldn't fall. She pushed herself away from him. "Grandma is no longer sick. There's no need to keep this up anymore. You're also graduating, you don't need to be stuck with me," she said but he didn't let go of her."Is that the only reason?" he asked her and she nodded. They walked towards the dorm and he turned her around to look at him. "I'm not breaking up with you," he said and she glared at him.He's making this hard for her."Nathan, I can't keep up with this," she said to him. "Keep up with what?" he asked and she wanted to kick him seeing how confused he was. "You know fully well what I'm talking about. I can't keep up with you faking care and concern all the time, it's killing me!" she exclaimed.He frowned, "I'm not faking it, Willow." She scoffed, "You were mad at me toda
Summer break was finally here and Willow was not prepared for it at all. The school had just done their convocation ceremony two weeks ago and now Willow was ready to go back to Dallas to meet her grandma. Nathan offered to take her back but she declined immediately and he did not like it one bit. So they came to a conclusion that he would drive her to the bus stop instead.And that was what he was doing at the moment. There was a comfortable silence in car as he drove. They got to the bus stop and go out of the car. Nathan grabbed her luggage and they sat at the bus station waiting for the bus. "So you're going to miss me, aren't you?" Willow teased, breaking the silence. He chuckled and kissed her nose. "Are we really going to talk about this?" he asked and she laughed. "Just say you don't want to admit it," she said and he rolled his eyes. "Only if you'll admit that you'll miss me too," he said and she scoffed. "Not happening," she said and he laughed."Try not to give your grand
