(Everyone gets ready for bed and lays down. After a couple hours, everyone had fallen asleep. Allie let the girls in her room, but she didn't speak to anyone. She cried silently to herself, laying in her underwear and t-shirt. A few hours had gone by and Allie still couldn't go to sleep. She was listening out for Nat and 3 am hit, but he still wasn't home. Allie continued to cry for another hour, still listening for Nat, but he still hadn't come home. When Allie couldn't take it anymore, she grabbed her phone and slowly crept out of the room. She went into the couch room, sat down, hugged her knees, and dialed Nat's contact. A few rings later, he finally answers.)

Nat: Why aren't you asleep?

Allie: I can't go to sleep. *crying, she sniffles*

Nat: Why not? Allz, it's 4:05 in the morning. You need to go to sleep.

Allie: I can't go to sleep, because you won't come home.

Nat: I'll get there when I get there.

Allie: Where are you? *sniffles*

Nat: Just out, at a bar.

Allie: Are you drunk?

Nat: No, just a little faded. *sighs* Allie, please, go to sleep, Nani.

Allie: *crying softly* I can't. I want you.

Nat: You're the only one up, aren't you?

Allie: *sniffles* Yes.

Nat: Just lay down and close your eyes. I'll sing to you if that's what you want.

Allie: I want you to come home to me. I need you. *softly crying* Please come home.

Nat: *sighs*

Allie: *crying* I'm sorry for making you mad.

Nat: You didn't make me mad. It's not you that I'm mad at, it's whatever's going on with you and Avi, that pisses me off.

Allie: If you come home, I'll tell you what I can on my half. I promise.

Nat: What you can? We're supposed to tell each other everything.

Allie: And I will tell you everything at the right moment. But around everyone, while we're on this trip just isn't a good time. By the end of August, I swear, I will let everything off my chest. But for now, I can only let out bits and pieces. Just..please come home. *softly whimpers* Please, Teddy.

Nat: Please stop crying. It's hurting me.

Allie: *crying* I'm sorry. But you not coming home is hurting me. I'm tired, I'm scared, and I just want you to come home. Please, Nat.

Nat: *sighs* Ok. I'm on my way home.

Allie: *sniffles* Ok.

Nat: I'll see you when I get there.

Allie: O-ok. *sniffles*

Nat: *hangs up*

Allie: *hangs up and continues crying softly*

(30 minutes later, Nat had finally made his way back to the hotel. Allie was in the bathroom, cleaning her face, when she heard him come in. Nat immediately walked to the couch room, kicked off his shoes, took off his shirt, and laid down on the big, comfy couch. Allie finishes cleaning her face and goes out to the couch room. She sees Nat in the big couch area and goes over to him. Nat was laying on his side, with his back to her.)

Allie: *sniffles* Nat?

Nat: Still aren't sleep?

Allie: I told you I couldn't. I n-need you.

Nat: *turns over a little, to face her* I said I wasn't sleeping with anyone tonight.

Allie: I-I know, but- *crying a bit*

Nat: Are you sure you can't just go to sleep, Nani? Please?

Allie: I can't. *covers her eyes and whimpers*

Nat: Ok, ok. Come here. *opens his arms*

Allie: *quickly and anxiously crawls onto the big couch with him, and into his arms, on top of him*

Nat: *wraps his arms around her and strokes her hair* Shh. *kisses her hair* It's Ok.

Allie: *holds onto him tightly and needy*

Nat: I'm sorry, Nani. *kisses her hair, gentle voice* I know you need me. I'm sorry. *slides his hand underneath her shirt and rubs her back*

Allie: *moans warmly and snuggles her body against Nat's more*

Nat: *continues rubbing her back, he softly whispers* I'm sorry. I'm not mad at you, ok? I never was. I love you, Bunny. *kisses her ear*

Allie: *sniffles* I hate to see you so mad and hurt.

Nat: I know.

Allie: I should've just held you down. Like I was supposed to.

Nat: I wouldn't have let you, anyway. I was that mad. I actually felt like I would've said no to you.

Allie: *looks at him*

Nat: *looks at her* Being like that didn't feel good.

Allie: I know.

Nat: You feel good. *squeezes her body tight against his*

Allie: *kisses his chest*

Nat: *wipes her tears with his thumb* Now, what's the problem? How long have you been crying?

Allie: All day. *sniffles*

Nat: Why?

Allie: Because I thought you were mad at me. And you didn't wanna see me, because of Aviana.

Nat: No, no. I wasn't mad at you. I just don't understand what this fighting is between you and her, and it frustrates me.

Allie: Look, on her half, it's obvious. She doesn't want you around me. I don't want her around you, either, but I know that you guys are in a relationship and that's not for me to decide. On my half… I'm honestly just selfish.

Nat: What do you mean? You're not selfish. You're the least selfish person I know.

Allie: I am when it comes to you. *looking at him* I'm happy for you, but ultimately, I've never had to share you a day in my life before and I hate that I am now. Especially with someone who doesn't even respect you.

Nat: So, that's what all this is about?

Allie: I've said before that I don't wanna share you. And now I really don't, now that she's hurt you. I just love you so much and if anyone hurts you, I'll just.. I just lose it. I argue with her because I don't like the way she treats you. And honestly, I think I'm even jealous.

Nat: *chuckles a bit and touches her face* Jealous? Of what?

Allie: You look at her the way you used to look at me. Like I was the only girl that mattered to you.

Nat: I still look at you like that. It may not seem like it, but I do. I just try to hide it, because of Aviana. She pops a vessel every time she sees me looking at you like that. But I show it in other ways. Ways she won't pay attention to. Like when we cuddle, don't you notice that I hold you a lot tighter than I used to? A lot closer? I cling to you.

Allie: I have noticed that. Honestly, I thought you were having nightmares.

Nat: *smiles a bit and shakes his head* No. I only have sweet dreams when I lay with you.

Allie: *smiles a little, chuckles and sniffles*

Nat: I squeeze you because I know it's you. I recognize your breathing, your skin, the way you hold onto me. The feel of your hair. How sweet you always smell. God, you always smell so sweet. *caressing voice* It just makes my dreams sweeter.

Allie: *smiles and blushes at him*

Nat: She rarely catches us cuddling. So, that's when I express all that. I try to still give you high school.

Allie: I miss being the only girl in your world. 'Cause you're the only guy that matters in mine.

Nat: I really matter to you that much? *soft voice*

Allie: Of course you do. And before Aviana, you never would've doubted that, let alone even ask that question.

Nat: You have given your time to so many other guys. I didn't think I'd have that special spot, because I thought at least a couple of them had something more special with you than me. After all, they captured a piece of your heart too, didn't they?

Allie: Not like you do. Never the way you have. And there isn't a single one who will ever be more special to me than you are. You will always have the top spot. And the only. I liked those guys and I fell in love a few times, but I've never loved a guy as hard as I love you. And I don't think I will.

Nat: You don't know that. There are so many guys out there, Allz. One of them is bound to step up and do it right. I just hope whoever he is, knows how special and amazing you are. He won't take this beautiful heart for granted. *touches her chest* I know I don't. I never will.

Allie: There's a huge difference between you and those guys.

Nat: What?

Allie: Like you said, they only captured a piece of my heart. But you have the entire thing. *looking at him*

Nat: *smiles a bit and kisses her hand* And you have mine. No matter who I'm with. Nothing will ever change that. I just want my heart to be big enough for you and Aviana.

Allie: I know you're not gonna break up with her.

Nat: *sighs* I can't. Yeah, she fucked up. But.. She's not perfect. Neither am I. She was shit-faced and I guess that's all there is to it. I mean.. It's not like I ever gave her a reason to really cheat on me.. Did I? *looks at Allie*

Allie: Not at all. Why? Do you think you have?

Nat: *looks down* Sometimes.

Allie: Why?

Nat: Because of what everyone keeps saying about me and you.

Allie: What do you mean?

Nat: About the way I treat you. How they think I treat you differently from Aviana. It just drives me nuts. And then, after what Lena and Trina said today, it just..I don't know. I get self-conscious. And then all I do is feel guilty about the way that I act with you. A lot of people make me feel like it's wrong.

Allie: *shakes her head immediately, with a scared look on her face* No, no. It's not.

Nat: I know it isn't, but people seem to feel that way, because I'm in a relationship right now. I don't know how to feel about it sometimes. But I know I need it. Which is why I do it.

Allie: I need it, too. I need you.

Nat: I get things from you that I don't get from Aviana.

Allie: I know.

Nat: Doesn't mean I love her any less. But no one understands that. Neither does she.

Allie: You shouldn't feel bad about it. Because at the end of the day, you still remain faithful to her.

Nat: Yeah. Not that she acknowledges it. *rolls his eyes*

Allie: Well, let her continue to sleep on that. Because she's gonna miss out and it won't be your fault. You show her every day and she just blows past it. That's not your fault.

Nat: Yeah.

Allie: Don't doubt who you are, because of her. You know you're good to her. Way more than she deserves.

Nat: *chuckles a bit and touches Allie's face* Thanks, Allz.

Allie: *rests her forehead against his* I love you so much.

Nat: I love you, most. *kisses her hair and hugs her body tight* I do.

Allie: Can I please sleep with you?

Nat: Of course. *rubs her back* You want me to get a blanket?

Allie: I'll go get one. *gets up and goes to grab a blanket*

(She comes back a minute later, with her deep blue down comforter - - Which Nat had given her, after their high school graduation. It was the comforter from his bed, where they spent most of their time together.)

Nat: *surprised chuckle* Wow. I haven't seen that thing in a long time.

Allie: *chuckles* I know.

Nat: You still kept it this whole time?

Allie: Of course I did. It's my favorite blanket. I never go on a trip without it. Or sleep without it.

Nat: *chuckles* How sweet are you?

Allie: Pretty sweet. *giggles a bit, climbs onto the couch with him and climbs on top of him* I love this thing. It keeps me warm and makes me feel like you're holding me. It even still has your scent. When I wrap myself in it at night, it's like my own little heaven. *throws the comforter over them, then lays on top of Nat, her head on his warm chest* I always wondered if I'd ever get to be under this thing with you again.

Nat: *chuckles and rubs Allie's scalp with his fingers* Me too.

Allie: Can I know about these sweet dreams of yours?

Nat: *chuckles again* Yeah. It's mostly stuff growing up. Oddly enough, you're always in them. I think it's 'cause I know I'm sleeping with you.

Allie: *smiles* Give me a few.

Nat: Ok. Remember 9th grade? Homecoming?

Allie: That was awesome.

Nat: Me and you danced the whole time. *chuckles*

Allie: *smiles* The cutest part was you matching my dress.

Nat: We did a good job with planning that, huh? *chuckles*

Allie: We did. *lifts her head and looks at him* You looked so sexy.

Nat: I tend to in a tux. *chuckles* That dress was so beautiful on you.

Allie: *smiles, lays her head on his chest, and keeps looking at him*

Nat: *chuckles and kisses her forehead* I dream little stuff mostly. Like, every day, of the entire 7th and 8th grade, how I would come to get you for school every morning. And we'd walk together.

Allie: *smiles, remembering* Yeah.

Nat: And how we'd race each other home afterwards. *chuckles a bit, rubbing her scalp*

Allie: *chuckles* Yeah.

Nat: High school dreams are my favorite. I always dream about how I would come home every night, from football practice, just to race to the kitchen and grab my Ben & Jerry's from the fridge. And you'd always be there, waiting for me. How we'd go upstairs and play, chill. Listen to music, watch movies, cuddle. And that was always my favorite part of the day.

Allie: *smiling, listening to his sweet voice* Mine too. I remember after every cheer practice, how I couldn't wait to get to your house, in your room, and in your bed. How I couldn't wait to put on your jersey and wear it, wrapped up in your sheets.. Waiting for you to get home.

Nat: You basically lived with me. *chuckles* I swear you never went home.

Allie: I really didn't. *chuckles* It was just a wrap when me and mom finally moved to New York for real, in 7th grade. I knew I wouldn't have to leave you again and I took advantage.

Nat: *chuckles* Yeah. I really miss things like that.

Allie: You and Aviana don't do that?

Nat: Aviana has one use for a bedroom. And there's not much chilling going on in it.

Allie: Oh.

Nat: We don't really hang out. She just always wants to go shopping or someplace expensive. Not that I have a problem with it, I just..really miss hanging out in my room and.. doing all the stuff we did. *looks at Allie*

Allie: Me too. *looking at him*

Nat: But, she's not that into movies, she hates videogames, she doesn't know how to JUST cuddle, she's not that playful and we have zero compatibility with music. Most of what I like, she hates.

Allie: What kind of music does she like?

Nat: Mostly club music. Like, since me and Alex are DJs, and we mostly play that kind of music, she loves our music, but she's not that big on other types. Like, she hates rock music, alternative, country music. I love those three genres. She likes rave music, 'cause, again, me and Alex.

(A.N. So, also in this story, obviously Nat and Alex are musicians, but I decided to make them Djs for my story. They're big worldwide, and they're basically like Calvin Harris, Zedd, Martin Garrix, Tiësto, and a few other big Djs. They also produce music as well, so they get to work with a lot of big artists, like Calvin Harris and the others I named, and many more. Some of the songs I name off that they've done, I know aren't really theirs. Again, this is just for the story. Go along, please. They still do their music, too, also.)

Allie: Who do you both like?

Nat: We have a few similar artists that we like. Like, P!nk, Katy Perry, a little Coldplay. Oddly enough, we both enjoy Nicki Minaj.

Allie: *chuckles* Who doesn't?

Nat: Right! *laughs*

Allie: *laughs*

Nat: *chuckling* We both like Paramore, Maroon 5. That's about it. She likes a few hip-hop artists, but that's all.

Allie: She doesn't like Ke$ha?

Nat: Nope.

Allie: Avril Lavigne?

Nat: Nope.

Allie: Lady Gaga? Madonna?

Nat: Nope and nope.

Allie: Is she just terrible?

Nat: She literally may be. *nods and chuckles, then shakes his head*

Allie: *laughs a little* Wow.

Nat: She doesn't even like Adele.

Allie: *gasps*

Nat: I know right? Broke my heart.

Allie: Where is her soul? She needs to go trade it back.

Nat: *laughs into her neck* Omg.

Allie: *laughs* And how is she not into movies?

Nat: She thinks they're boring, and that the concept of just sitting and watching them is boring.

Allie: *shakes her head* Wow. And who hates videogames?

Nat: That one made me cry. *whimpers into her neck*

Allie: *laughs a little* Aww. *kisses his cheek*

Nat: I love videogames. How can you hate videogames? Who says that?

Allie: *chuckles* I know, Baby. *kisses his face*

Nat: And the worst part is, she hates eating. Do you know how many health-nut restaurants she drags me to? I cry every time we pull up outside one.

Allie: *laughs and touches his face* Aww. What is she doing to my Baby?

Nat: Trying to kill me. She's so damn skinny, she makes me look and feel like the unhealthy, fat one in the relationship. She's always complaining that I weigh too much and I need to lose weight. She hates it when I eat meat in public. She hates it when I order anything that requires grease. She always tries to make me order small dishes and salads. I can't do that shit. I'm Fat Boy, remember?

Allie: I know. *kisses his face*

Nat: She says things that make me really insecure sometimes, but I know I'm in good shape.

Allie: Baby, you got a bangin' body. *licks his chest*

Nat: *giggles at her*

Allie: She doesn't know what she's talking about. You are thick and sexy. If she can't handle some meat, then that's too damn bad for her. Lord knows I love me some meat. *kisses his meaty chest*

Nat: I fucking love you. *gaping at her*

Allie: I love you, Fat Daddy. *bites his lip for a minute, then lets go*

Nat: Mm. *sucks his lip and grabs her beneath her butt* Speaking of meat.

Allie: *giggles, with a sexy smile*

Nat: Damn, I wanna bite the fuck out of you. *squeezes her ass cheek hard, moving it up and down*

Allie: *giggles again and kisses his neck*

Nat: Manny really messed up. I want him to know that. *smacks a side of her ass and grabs it up, squeezing it*

Allie: *bites her lip, with a sexy groan* Mm.

Nat: Yes. *squeezing and moving her ass cheek again*

Allie: *continues kissing his neck*

Nat: I'd get on my knees just to please you. *rubbing her butt* He definitely wasn't doing it right. I'm telling you. You are gonna trap some guy's soul. And he's gonna worship you.

Allie: *sexy whisper* Do you worship me?

Nat: I would show you better than I could tell you. That's what every guy should do.

Allie: They're not you. *kisses his ear*

Nat: And they never will be. *runs his hand through her hair* 'Cause I know you're worth it. *kisses her throat*

Allie: *sighs and moans*

Nat: I love you, Allie J.

Allie: I love you, more, Natty J.

Nat: *smacks her ass with a loud slap*

Allie: *moans out*

Nat: I love that sound. *rubbing her butt*

Allie: I love that feeling. *savoring the feeling of his hand gliding across her bare skin*

Nat: Mm. *kisses her face*

Allie: I have a question.

Nat: What's up?

Allie: Who were you on the phone with?

Nat: *chuckles* Some friends of mine from school. They're, uh..all females. And they're Asian. *chuckles*

Allie: I don't know whether to be mad at that or not. *chuckles*

Nat: *laughs* Why would you be mad at that?

Allie: Because I'm supposed to be your only Asian. *chuckling* I have no clue if I'm offended or not.

Nat: *laughs* Don't be. At least I can still say you were my first Asian.

Allie: I guess. So, how'd you meet them?

Nat: Freshmen year. One of my classes was Quantitative Physiology, and I was the only boy in the class. Then, sophomore year, I ended up with them again, in Introduction to Computational Neuroscience, and again, I was the only boy. This year, I had Statistical Physics in Biology with them, and again, the only boy. So, I've pretty much been rocking with them since I got there. I was a little sad the first month, because.. *voice trails off*

Allie: Because what? *looks at him*

Nat: *looks at her and blushes a bit* Because I missed you.

Allie: *smiles a little and kisses his face*

Nat: *chuckles a bit* I told them about you, they listened, and they were just there for me. We kinda just fell in love with each other after that. I got to know them, they got to know me. And really, I was always the topic of discussion because, I was the only boy. But, yeah, they're my friends from school. They know about you and everyone else. I tell them about you guys all the time.

Allie: Why were you the only boy?

Nat: Because most of them were there for medical related majors. They're all either studying to be doctors, surgeons, pediatricians, or medical assistants. MIT has this collaboration with Harvard, for Health Science and Technology courses. They're a part of the program. But me, I had to take health sciences because I was finishing my doctorate for neuroscience and that's a health science. They gave me those for foundation. I'm excited because senior year, I'll finally be taking Introduction to Neural Networks.

Allie: *chuckles* You are such a nerd.

Nat: This is a big deal! *chuckles* I know I'm a nerd!

Allie: But you're my nerd. *chuckles and kisses his face*

Nat: *chuckles* It's really cool. I could teach you some stuff. I mean, you are still studying to be a pediatrician, right?

Allie: Of course. If everything goes smoothly after graduation and I make it into this medical internship program.

Nat: I am such an ass. I've been talking about me this whole time. What about you? What's this program?

Allie: *laughs a little* It's fine, Baby. I love it when you talk about science stuff. I learn new things. It's stimulating.

Nat: *chuckles*

Allie: This program is basically for med school. It's an advancement work-study program. I'll get to work among real doctors, doing training and exercises, while working on my medical doctorates. I'm studying to be a pediatrician and a pediatric surgeon.

Nat: That sounds awesome.

Allie: Yeah. And if I make it through the program, I won't have to do the standard 6 to 8 years, to become a doctor. I'll have my certifications in 4 years.

Nat: That's amazing!

Allie: I'm so glad I did those internships in high school and took those extra credit courses, my last 3 years of college. They boosted me major.

Nat: That's awesome, Allz. Are you excited?

Allie: Yeah, and nervous. I'm really hoping I get in. It all depends on how my studies go for my last year.

Nat: You'll be fine. And you'll definitely get in. You're a hard worker and you always take school seriously. Don't worry. I know you got this. Just stay cool.

Allie: I know. I just get really stressed out, sometimes.

Nat: I already know how that is. But you just gotta stay focused on what you want. And you want this.

Allie: Yeah.

Nat: And I'll do my best to be there for you. I promise. *rubs her back*

Allie: That's all I need, is you. *kisses his face* Thanks, Baby.

Nat: You know I got you. Looks like we both have some pretty important stuff coming up, huh?

Allie: Yeah, but I have a feeling you have a lot more. *gives him a look*

Nat: We'll talk more after some sleep. It's 5 am. *chuckles*

Allie: *chuckles* Ok. *lays her head on his chest and snuggles against him more* Can you take your shorts off?

Nat: Yeah.

Allie: Here, I got it. *unbuttons his shorts and pulls down his zipper*

Nat: *feels her touch him, though his boxer briefs and gapes, blushing a bit* Oh.

Allie: *pulls his shorts down and gets them off of him, then tosses them to the floor, and gets back on top of him* There. Much better. *snuggles against him again, with her head on his chest* You know you have a boner, right?

Nat: Pay no attention to it. He's being a dick right now.

Allie: *laughs*

Nat: *chuckles and wraps his arms tight around her body* Sweet dreams, Fat Baby. *kisses her head*

Allie: Sweet dreams, Natty. *closes her eyes, with a warm smile* I love you.

Nat: I love you, too. (They drift off to sleep, peacefully wrapped in each other.)
