Mistakes

Henry promised not to let it slip that he knew what really happened between Natalie and Adam. He still couldn't believe that he would do something like that…And why did it have to be Natalie? Why did it have to happen to such a perfect, beautiful, bright girl?

He quickly shook the thought off as he walked into school the next day. He knew this wasn't going to be easy, keeping a secret like this. Especially one this big…

He passed the practice room, hearing a raging sonata being played from inside. He smiled to himself and peeked through the window. There was Natalie, just as he expected, banging away at the keys. She always got really into her music when she played, her face told it all. All her pain, all her problems, her insecurities….She opened them up to the world when she sat at that piano.

He tried to sneak in as quietly as he could, not wanting to disturb her. But that plan was scratched when the door decided to slam itself shut. She stopped playing immediately, gasping and turning towards the door. But her frightened gasp turned into a relieved sigh as she saw it was Henry.

"I knew you'd be in here…" he mused, going to sit on the risers behind her. But she didn't say anything back, she just continued playing like he wasn't even there."You sound good."

"Just good?" she asked quietly, her eyes not moving from her sheet music.

"No…fantastic."

She let a small smile spread across her face, the first time she smiled in the past two days. "So what, are you stalking me again?"

"Maybe…why? You want me to?"

A small feeble giggle escaped from her mouth. "Sure…why wouldn't I?" She looked over at him, stopping her sonata short. She patted the spot next to her on the piano bench as she beckoned him over there.

He quickly obliged and went to sit right next to her. He could feel her tensing up, still not comfortable with him so close. She began to play more, her fingers flying over they keys. He just watched intently, slowly wrapping his arm around her. But she stopped playing again and just got up suddenly, inching away from him.

"What?" he asked, wondering why she did that.

"Please don't do that…" she begged, wincing as he took a step closer to her.

"It's ok…" he assured her, smiling softly. "I'm not gonna hurt you."

"I know…" She looked like she was tearing up. She was ashamed that she couldn't trust even him. She knew that never in a million years would he ever try to hurt her. He loved her and he'd do anything for her, although her mind was denying it.

"C'mon…let's go…" he said, opening the door for her, heading off to her locker.

Sure enough, there were some more offensive signs on it, which she and Henry quickly disposed of. She opened her locker only to see a little folded up note fall out of it. She quickly picked it up and read it over.

Having fun yet? We're only getting started.

Keep that sexy mouth of yours shut, bitch.

Or else.

-Adam

"That fucking bastard!" Henry shouted, obviously having read the note as well. "He's harassing you!"

"Just let him…" she mumbled quietly, ignoring the glares she received from classmates who were walking down the hall.

"No! I won't just let him do this to you! He's not getting away with this!"

"Just leave it alone!" she yelled back. "I don't want him to find out that I told you…God knows what he can do to Julie…I mean, what if he does the same to her? Or worse…"

He knew exactly what she meant by 'or worse.' "He wouldn't…"

"He raped me, didn't he? Who's to say he's incapable of something worse?"

She finally grabbed her books from her locker and shut it, sticking the note in her pocket. The two of them quickly walked off in silence to their first class.

In a matter of two days, Adam Harrison managed to turn the entire student body of Hemingway High School against Natalie. Julie hadn't talked to her since the party. She heard the rumors. She believed them. But yet somehow, she didn't blame Adam…Maybe it was because he was her boyfriend. Or maybe it was because slutty behavior was expected from Natalie. She could've easily seduced him. And she wouldn't blame Adam for giving in…

But Natalie and Henry had retreated to their own little table in the back on the cafeteria, leaving Julie and Adam on their own. She noticed Natalie was alone, Henry was off somewhere.

Adam moved in closer to her and whispered, "She's such a slut…"

"I know…" Julie retorted, throwing Natalie an nasty glare.

"I'm so sorry about what happened, baby…" He kissed her quickly. "She came onto me and I didn't know what to do…"

"That's ok…" she admitted, accepting his affection. "You know I believe you…"

He nodded and kissed her again. "Why don't you go talk to her?"

"Now?"

"Yeah. Now. Go."

She sort of shrugged and followed his command and went over to Natalie's table. She was pissed at her. How could she do that? How could she even get away with seducing Adam? She told her that she wasn't interested in him anymore.

"Nat? Can we talk?" she said as she reached her friend.

"Um…ok…" Was all Natalie could say back, slightly intimidated.

"Why'd you do it?"

"Do what?"

Julie threw her a glare that just said 'you know what I mean.' "Why'd you seduce him?"

Natalie's jaw dropped, appalled by what she was hearing. "That's what they're saying? I seduced him? Why would I do that? I wouldn't cheat on Henry…"

"But you did!" Julie was practically crying. She was hurt. "Why?"

"Look, I don't know what you're-!"

"Why'd you do it?"

Natalie just blew her fuse, not caring if everyone around her heard her. "I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING! I DIDN'T SEDUCE HIM! HE RAPED ME!"

Julie just froze in her spot, tears flowing down her cheeks now. "No…"

"I'm so sorry…" Natalie sobbed, hoping that her friend would have even just a little bit of pity on her. But Julie just shook her head and just darted from the room, refusing to believe her.

Natalie just threw her head in her hands in defeat, not knowing what else to do, when suddenly she felt her phone vibrate. She opened it quickly, seeing that it was a text.

From Adam.

You just made the biggest mistake of your life. Your buddy's gonna pay up.

-Adam
