{Nat and Allie are at school and it's lunch time. They're sitting in the parking lot, in Nat's car, with Allie sitting in Nat's lap, in the driver's seat. They've finished eating and now they're sipping on milkshakes and talking.}
Allie: Mm. That was delicious.
Nat: Was it?
Allie: Yeah. *smiles and kisses him* Thank you, Baby.
Nat: You're welcome. You know I love to feed my Fat Baby.
Allie: *giggles* I am so ready to go home and sit in my underwear.
Nat: *chuckles* You and me, both. This heat is intense.
Allie: I know. You're not too hot, are you?
Nat: Nah. I got the air on. How was French class?
Allie: It was ok. Travis was annoying the hell out of me.
Nat: *chuckles* Still wants a date?
Allie: Yes! Like, you know I don't like you! Stop asking me out!
Nat: *laughs a little* I would say give him a shot, but I know he's a pig. So, I'm not gonna tell you that.
Allie: Exactly. Then, Andy wouldn't leave me alone!
Nat: You could probably give him a shot. *chuckles* He's not too bad.
Allie: Not interested. He's got too much of a creeper vibe, for me.
Nat: *chuckles* Ok, but, I just want you to know, you have a lot more admirers.
Allie: Ugh. *rolls her eyes* I know.
Nat: Well, you're beautiful. You can't be too annoyed with them.
Allie: *smiles at Nat* Thank you.
Nat: I just stated the obvious. *chuckles* So, what level of French are you at?
Allie: Intermediate. Which reminds me, I have more stuff to tutor you on.
Nat: *sarcastically* Yay!
Allie: Boy! *pinches his nipple*
Nat: Ow! *chuckles and rubs his nipple*
Allie: How many times do I have to tell you? You do not get sarcastic with me! *chuckles*
Nat: I can't help it! *laughs a little* First and foremost, you know me and French don't vibe! Second, you know sarcasm is like a 6th language to me!
Allie: A language you do not use with me! *chuckles* I will bruise your nipple.
Nat: Jeez, ok. *chuckles and rubs his nipple*
Allie: And, I know you and French don't vibe, but it really bothers me that you can speak fluent Spanish, Italian, Hawaiian, Samoan, and Portuguese, but you can't speak French!
Nat: Those are all a part of my native tongue and heritage! You know that! *chuckles* French is not! I have no use for it!
Allie: What if you go to France?!
Nat: Then, I'll just take you. *chuckles*
Allie: *lightly slaps his shoulder* Lazy.
Nat: I am never lazy. *chuckles* All I know is work.
Allie: Tell me about it. *gives him a look*
Nat: Hey, hey. I always make time for you, don't I? *chuckles*
Allie: Mm, you kinda have to. Because, you know I want and need all of your attention.
Nat: Exactly, you spoiled brat. *chuckles*
Allie: Shut up. You spoil me, anyway. And, I spoil you. So, you can't even talk.
Nat: Maybe. *chuckles and sips his milkshake*
Allie: So, how's your day been going?
Nat: Smooth, I guess. I am a little fried, though. Exams have been a bitch.
Allie: I already know you passed them. *starts petting his hair*
Nat: *puts an arm around her* Yeah, I'm feeling pretty confident about 'em, too.
Allie: Just don't get into a bigger college than me.
Nat: *chuckles* I'll try.
Allie: Filling out all this college stuff is exhausting.
Nat: Yeah. It'll be worth it, though. But, wait until senior year. It's really gonna be a pain in the ass.
Allie: *groans* I know.
Nat: I know your mom is set on Florida.
Allie: I kinda am, too. I mean, it's Miami. You know it'll be fun.
Nat: Wild ass Miami. How could anyone forget. *chuckles*
Allie: I'm not gonna do anything wild. *chuckles*
Nat: You may and you may not. Either way, it's your choice, your life. I get no say.
Allie: You have more say than you think.
Nat: *chuckles* Why?
Allie: Because I care about how you'll feel.
Nat: You shouldn't. *chuckles* We're just buds, after all. I don't own you.
Allie: Buds who kiss and dry hump, a lot. Regardless, I'll always care about how you'll feel.
Nat: That's just us having some fun. Besides, you wanted that. That's what we agreed on, right? Whatever helped?
Allie: I'll be 18 next year, Nat. I can't help it. It's getting worse.
Nat: I know, I know.
Allie: It's new and it's scary, but I wouldn't choose anyone to help me explore it, but you. I trust you. I'm completely comfortable with you. I don't want anyone else to help me with this, but you. It frightens me enough.
Nat: It's sex, Allie. It's supposed to frighten you. *chuckles a bit* Virgin or not. It's not a game. And so many things could happen. Look, the fact that we're almost grown, does not mean that you have to give it up soon. You can hold on to it for as long as you want. It's your body. It doesn't make you a wimp, stuck up, or anything. It makes you sensible. Respectful. If you're so worried about who you'll lose it to, why don't you just meet somebody now?
Allie: You don't think I've been trying? I've been through 9 breakups, in 6 months. (Thinking: I don't wanna meet anybody, when I have you.)
Nat: *chuckles* I know. But, still, what I mean is, don't stop trying. You have more time than you realize. Just..don't rush it. That's all I ask. Please. I don't wanna have to beat somebody's ass out here. You do not wanna give me that opportunity.
Allie: *laughs a little*
Nat: My bestie's growing up too fast on me. *playfully whimpers and lays his forehead against her back*
Allie: *laughs and plays in his hair* I am not. I didn't ask to start feeling horny.
Nat: No teenager ever does. *chuckles* It's natural. I know.
Allie: I just… You know, high school's almost over for us. Pretty soon, it's off to college and God knows what else. I'm not in a rush, it's just.. It gets stronger. And it scares me.
Nat: Why do you think it gets stronger?
Allie: I know why it gets stronger. *looking at him*
Nat: Ooo, you've got a major body picked out! *chuckles* Who is he?
Allie: *chuckles weakly, then looks at him* Can't say. (Thinking: It's you. It's always been you.)
Nat: Ok, fair enough. But, if it actually does happen, I wanna meet him. *chuckles*
Allie: *weak chuckle* Ok.
Nat: I start to feel a little weird about this whole thing, sometimes. I feel like I'm teaching you how to fuck, and therefore, please some other guy. *chuckles* You ever think about that? *chuckling* Like, it just feels so strange, when I think about it. How it'll go. Like, 'Hey! I taught her some stuff. Hope it was good.' *laughs a little*
Allie: *laughs and shakes her head* You are so stupid!
Nat: *laughs more* I'm just saying!
Allie: *chuckling* You are not teaching me. That's not what this is. You're simply helping me maintain my sexuality. You help me release it. *touches his face* You just show me some things from time to time.
Nat: *chuckles* If you say so. I agreed because I love you and you're my best friend. And, you help me too. *pecks her lips*
Allie: *quickly kisses back deeply*
Nat: *kisses back* Mm. *kiss* I wouldn't choose anyone but you, either. *kiss, kiss*
Allie: *moans a bit and kisses harder, running her fingers up through his short, curly hair*
Nat: *pulls away and giggles* We are so weird.
Allie: No, we are us. *chuckles*
Nat: True. *chuckles* But, you know, there's a name for US friends, who like to sit in my car and make out every day, at lunch.
Allie: *chuckles* What? Friends with benefits?
Nat: Exactly that. *laughs a little* But, I love making you happy.
Allie: It's not like anyone knows. *chuckles*
Nat: True, but everyone asks a lot of questions. *chuckles*
Allie: It's not their business. *kisses him* This is me and you. No one else. *kiss, kiss* That's how it's always been, that's how it'll always be. *kiss, kiss*
Nat: *chuckles* Also true. I just hate that people think we bang. I could never do that to you.
Allie: Why not? I mean, say we wanted to..
Nat: I couldn't. *chuckles nervously* Not ever. I have no problem doing what we do now. I have no problem helping you alleviate some frustration. But, I could never be with you like that, Allz. You're my best friend. Come on, we all know how something like that ends. I don't want that to be us. *takes her hand and squeezes it* I love you too much, for that. I love us. I wouldn't risk it for anything. And you said yourself, best friends forever. Best friends. *kisses her hand* You said that would never be us. And we laughed. *chuckles*
Allie: *chuckles weakly* Yeah. I know. (Thinking: And I immediately regret saying all of that. I'm so in love with you, Baby. And I'm so sorry I've been lying to you.)
Nat: Besides, I'd know it if you felt that way. We always tell each other everything. *kisses her hand again*
Allie: *weak smile* Right. (Thinking: I'm so sorry.)
Nat: I'm in love with how we are now. Best friends who take care of each other. And that's who we'll always be. *smiling at her adorably*
Allie: *weakly smiles at his sweet smile* As long as I get to kiss you.
Nat: You were my first. *chuckles* Of course you do. We taught each other how to kiss.
Allie: *chuckles a bit* Even though it felt like you already knew what you were doing.
Nat: I knew some stuff. *chuckles* But, you were the first thing I ever kissed. I swear.
Allie: Thing? *chuckles a bit, with a raised eyebrow* Did you just call me a thing?
Nat: *laughs a little* You know what I mean.
Allie: *chuckles* Ok. But, can I ask you something?
Nat: Of course.
Allie: You never get...sexual feelings towards me?
Nat: Thinking about being that guy who takes that away from you, makes me feel like a bastard. You're an angel to me. And you always will be, no matter what. But, I can't be the guy who takes your virginity. I just can't. I can't even imagine that, I can't even think about that. Just to touch you is a blessing. I'm not, nor have I ever been greedy. I'm grateful. For everything in my life, and just having you for a friend. Lord knows that. I grew up with you, I got to watch you grow, I get to help you grow. That's enough for me. *squeezes her hand, looking at her* Besides, I feel like your mom would probably murder me, if that ever happened.
Allie: *laughs weakly* Ok.
Nat: *laughs a little and hugs onto her* I love you, Allz. *snuggles against her*
Allie: *pets his hair, looking at him* I love you more, Natty. (Thinking: More than you'll ever know.)
Nat: *looks up at her and smiles cutely*
Allie: *just looks at him, leans in, and kisses him deeply*
Nat: *kisses back*
Allie: *turns completely around and straddles him, continuing to kiss him, now harder*
Nat: Mm. *wraps his arms around her and fists the back of her hair gently, rubbing her scalp with his fingers* (They start to make out.)
Allie: *sticks her hand up his shirt and feels his body*
Nat: *breathes* You feel it again? *kiss*
Allie: *breathes* Yeah. *kiss, kiss*
Nat: *lays his seat all the way back and grabs her waist*
Allie: *starts to move on him slowly*
Nat: *moans softly, following the movement of her waist and hips with his hands*
(They continue to make out and the flashback fades out.)
{She fades into another one…}
(Her and Nat are at the beach, on the water, sitting on Nat's surfboard. Allie is sitting in front of him, between his legs, laying back against him. Nat has his hands on her waist, resting his chin on her head. They're talking.)
Nat: So, what up?
Allie: *chuckles* What do you mean?
Nat: How'd your date go last night?
Allie: He took me to see a boyish ass gore movie. How do you think it went?
Nat: *laughs* Isn't that usually the move? Take a girl to see a scary movie, she'll hide in your chest, you get your arm around her? YOU taught me that. *laughs again*
Allie: Yeah, for you to use on me. I hate it when other guys pull it on me, though. Especially so hungrily. He literally grabbed me up like I was food. It was not cute or romatic. Definitely not attractive.
Nat: *laughing* Maybe he found you delicious. I do.
Allie: *playfully elbows his stomach and chuckles* Shut up. It's not funny.
Nat: *laughs more, with his head back*
Allie: Yet another disaster. And you're laughing. *crosses her arms and pouts*
Nat: Aww. *chuckles and kisses on her cheek* You want me to take you on a movie date, tonight? Make it better?
Allie: *nods, pouting*
Nat: *chuckles* Ok. I'm sorry, Bunny. *kisses her cheek again*
Allie: Do I just make guys act stupid?
Nat: No, of course not. *chuckles* It's not you. It's never the girl. We just get overwhelmed by our dicks, sometimes. It happens. We let it control us, instead of controlling it.
Allie: You've never done that.
Nat: Some of us have better self-control than others. *chuckles a bit* Still, though, I am human, and I am a guy. You, on the other hand, are a innocent, beautiful, intelligent, and sweet sweet girl. *wraps his arms around her and rests his chin on her shoulder* With a gorgeous body and a matching personality. And, just like all beauties, you have to go through a few beasts, before you get to your prince. So, it's not you. It's that power that all females have over men. It's strong, it's potent, it's powerful. It makes men act like dumb asses, sometimes. But, it can also change some for the better. You haven't done that yet, but you will. I've told you. You are a goddess. You turn these idiot boys out. *pecks her neck*
Allie: *giggles and puts her arms over his, leaning her head to the side, giving him access to her neck*
Nat: Mm. *kissing her neck* You even make me a little crazy, sometimes. *sexy voice*
Allie: And, you make me feel so fucking sexy.
Nat: You are so fucking sexy. *chuckles a bit, kissing her neck* Don't ever doubt that.
Allie: *moans a bit* Makes me so hot.
Nat: I'd make you feel that way every day. *kissing her neck*
Allie: *moans* (Thinking: You do! Every fucking day! Ugh!)
Nat: You deserve to feel that every day. *kissing her neck affectionately*
Allie: *moaning* Can you make me feel that every day?
Nat: It'd be my genuine pleasure. *kissing her neck*
Allie: *moaning* And, this is why I'm stingy with you.
Nat: *laughs a little* Is this about my admirer?
Allie: Ugh. I just don't trust something about her.
Nat: *chuckles* Oh, come on. Aviana's cool.
Allie: *rolls her eyes* Doesn't mean she's your type.
Nat: *laughs a little* Are you jealous, Allie J. Dee?!
Allie: *crossing her arms, not looking at him* If I am?
Nat: *laughs* If you were, I'd be shocked! There's nothing for you to be jealous about! You're both insanely beautiful, you're both funny, you're both cheerleaders! Neither of you one ups the other by anything!
Allie: *still pouting* I guess. (Thinking: This isn't about her being better than me! It's about her wanting what's mine! She can't fucking have you! You're mine!.!)
Nat: *chuckles at her* Oh, please tell me you are not worried about me and you.
Allie: I'll admit that I am. But, that's not the only thing. *still pouting, with her nose turned up*
Nat: Look, nothing and no one will ever come between me and you. *chuckles* That's a guarantee. A promise. Me and you are forever. You hear me?
Allie: Hm.
Nat: *chuckles a bit* Hey. *softly, he grabs her chin and turns her face toward him* Look at me.
Allie: *looks in his eyes*
Nat: I'm not fuckin' around. I mean it. It doesn't matter who I'm with. You will always have me. *looking in her eyes* Forever my first.
Allie: *nods, looking in his eyes*
Nat: Gimme some.
Allie: *leans in and kisses him*
Nat: *kisses back, still holding her chin*
Allie: *turns around and straddles him*
Nat: *lets go of her chin and grabs both her thighs*
Allie: *wraps her arms around his neck and continues kissing him deeply and passionately*
Nat: *rubs her thighs up and down slowly*
Allie: *fists his hair and feels his back, gliding her hand over his tattoos*
Nat: *lays her down on his board, still sitting between her legs, and starts kissing her body, followed by bites*
Allie: *moans and fists his hair with both hands, her head laid back*
Nat: *glides his hands all over her body, as he kisses her skin, biting, and tasting it*
Allie: *moans some more*
Nat: *moves down to her thighs and starts biting and tasting them*
Allie: *moans harder and louder, arching her back, still fisting his hair with both her hands, tugging on it a bit*
Nat: *groans a bit and continues attacking her thighs, shooting hot breaths at the apex of them, along with her skin*
Allie: Omg. *moaning hard, feeling herself build*
Nat: *slaps her inner thighs*
Allie: *moans loudly, arching her back*
Nat: *goes back to work on her thighs, sucking and biting, showing both non-stop attention, as he feels her body up and down*
Allie: *moans harder and harder, building*
Nat: *breathes* I love you.
Allie: *loudly* I love you, too!
Nat: *breathes* You ready?
Allie: *moans* Yes!
Nat: *softly* Then let it go. *he bites her deep inside her thighs*
Allie: *lets go at his words and comes, moaning really hard and loud, gasping a bit*
Nat: *moves up on her and kisses her face affectionately*
Allie: *moaning softly and breathing hard, coming down from her climax, she wraps her arms around his neck and hugs him into her neck, feeling his back with one hand and the back of his hair with the other*
Nat: *kisses her neck affectionately, stroking her cheek* Feel better?
Allie: *nods, still panting a little*
Nat: Good. *looks at her and pecs her lips, then wraps his arms around her body and lifts her a bit, so she's straddling him, but their leaned down* Sun's setting.
Allie: I know. *looking at him and touching his face*
Nat: You wanna come night surfing with me?
Allie: *smiles a bit* Always.
Nat: *chuckles and pecs her lips* That's why you're my girl. *cute, boyish smile*
Allie: *giggles at him*
(Nat takes Allie night surfing with him and the flashback fades out.)
{She fades into another one...}
(Her and Nat are sitting in her room, laying on her bed, talking, while looking up at her ceiling.)
Allie: Do you ever get scared about high school?
Nat: What do you mean? Going?
Allie: It just makes me nervous.
Nat: *chuckles* Why?
Allie: Because of everything you hear.
Nat: Nah. Everything we hear is always either an exaggeration or just not true. Besides, I'm pretty big for a 15 year old. I'm not that worried. And, even if I wasn't this big, I'd still hold my own. I feel like that's what high school is about. Not backing down. Making a name for yourself.
Allie: Peer pressure? That doesn't frighten you?
Nat: No. *chuckles* Why should it? No one's gonna make me do anything I don't wanna do. And I don't care about people's opinions.
Allie: I wish it were that easy for me.
Nat: *grabs up her hand* Well, you won't face it alone. You've got me. Just like always. I'll always have your back.
Allie: *looks over at him and smiles a bit* Thanks, Nat.
Nat: No need for thanks. You're my best friend.
Allie: And you're mine. *smiling*
Nat: No one's gonna try to make you do anything you don't wanna do, either. Not while I'm around.
Allie: *shy smile* Ok.
Nat: It'll be fine. We're almost 16. Can you believe that?
Allie: No. Time is so crazy.
Nat: Right? *chuckles* Seems like yesterday, we were rolling around in my crib together.
Allie: *chuckles and smiles* Yeah.
Nat: We really grew up. *chuckles* I have a deeper voice and you have boobs.
Allie: *laughs and covers her chest shyly* Don't talk about them. I'm shy enough as it is.
Nat: *chuckling* Shy, why? You're a girl. That's what was supposed to happen. Be glad it did. Girls hate being flat-chested.
Allie: I'm glad I'm not flat-chested. *chuckles* I just get self-consious.
Nat: Don't. I love 'em. *adorable, boyish smile*
Allie: *giggles at him*
Nat: *puts his face in her chest and motorboats them*
Allie: *laughs*
Nat: *kisses her cheek* You're so beautiful.
Allie: *shy smile* You always say that.
Nat: 'Cause it's true. You are. *lays his chin on her chest and just stares at her, smiling cutely* These are my new pillows.
Allie: *giggles and laughs*
Nat: I love boobies. *baby smile*
Allie: *laughs more* Why are you so goofy?
Nat: You love it.
Allie: I love you. *smiling at him*
Nat: I love you, too. *cute smile*
Allie: You know what I'm thinking about?
Nat: No. What?
Allie: Have you kissed a girl yet?
Nat: *laughs a little* What?
Allie: *chuckles a bit* Have you kissed a girl yet? Come on. Tell me.
Nat: Why? *giggling* What possessed you to ask me that question, just now?
Allie: *laughs a little* Nothing. I was seriously just thinking about it.
Nat: Why? *chuckles*
Allie: I don't know. Because I'm almost 16 and I haven't kissed anyone yet.
Nat: You're joking, right?
Allie: No. *chuckles* Why do you think I am?
Nat: There is no way you haven't kissed a boy yet.
Allie: Why do you think that?
Nat: Look at you! *chuckles* Pretty girls always get kissed! All those boys at school that have crushes on you and you still haven't had your first kiss?
Allie: No. And just because they have crushes on me, doesn't mean I have crushes on them. They may wanna kiss me, but I don't wanna kiss them. I don't wanna kiss a stranger.
Nat: Then, who do you wanna kiss? *confused*
Allie: *stays silent for a minute, then looks at him shyly* You.
Nat: *surprised* Me? Why?
Allie: I just..want to. *blushing shyly*
Nat: *chuckles a bit* Don't you wanna share that with someone special? That's how a first kiss is supposed to be.
Allie: You're special to me. *blushing*
Nat: *chuckles shyly and blushes a bit* You're special to me, too.
Allie: I don't think your first kiss should be with a stranger. It should be with a friend. You're my best friend.
Nat: *just chuckles at her*
Allie: But, I don't just want you to be my first. I wanna be your first, too.
Nat: Oh.
Allie: So.. Have you kissed anyone yet?
Nat: I don't kiss and tell. *player-like tone*
Allie: Nat, come on. Please. Tell me.
Nat: Ok. I haven't kissed anyone yet, either.
Allie: You could've just told me that.
Nat: It's a little embarrassing. I'm a guy. All the other guys have kissed someone already.
Allie: So? You're not like other guys and you're not like them. They didn't care who they kissed.
Nat: True.
Allie: Don't be embarrassed.
Nat: Ok. *blushes a bit*
Allie: Do you wanna kiss me?
Nat: I don't know. Maybe. *blushes some more* I've thought about it. What it would be like.
Allie: Me too.
Nat: You don't think it'd be weird?
Allie: No.
Nat: *moves up on her a little bit, laying on his side, next to her and on her a little, and looks at her* You sure about this?
Allie: Yeah.
Nat: Then, it's your move.
Allie: *swallows a bit, staring at him*
(After a minute, Allie slowly takes Nat's face in her hands, gently pulls him down to her, and kisses his lips softly. Nat slowly kisses back. He kisses her delicately, but passionately. Allie feels her heart and stomach explode with butterflies. She intakes the feeling of his addictively soft lips on hers. She feels the passion, but also feels experience coming off his mouth. Nat kisses her like he's been kissing her all his life. Allie savors every feeling she's experiencing. She feels tingles all over her body, followed by rush of heat. Nat feels himself tingle too, but continues kissing her with focus. He touches her body cautiously, then starts to feel her a little. Allie moans a little and continues kissing him. Nat and Allie start to make out and continue for 10 minutes, until Nat pulls away and stares at her.)
Nat: Whoa..
Allie: Mm.
Nat: That was awesome. *chuckles awkwardly*
Allie: That was overwhelming.
Nat: What?
Allie: I thought you said you hadn't kissed anyone.
Nat: *chuckles* I didn't.
Allie: Well, it didn't feel like it. It felt like you knew exactly what you were doing.
Nat: *boyish grin* Awesome. *high pitched tone* That means I have this kissing thing down.
Allie: You seriously hadn't kissed anyone?
Nat: I swear. Would I lie to you?
Allie: No.
Nat: Ok then. *chuckles* Look, just because I hadn't kissed anyone, doesn't mean I didn't have an idea of what to do and how to do it. It's kissing, not rocket science. Which, I am also awesome at.
Allie: *giggles a bit and wraps her arms around his neck*
Nat: You were pretty good, too.
Allie: Really? *blushes a bit*
Nat: Yes. *chuckles softly at her* Trust me, once you get a little more experience, you'll be a pro.
Allie: Well, maybe you could help me with that. *bites her lip shyly*
Nat: *surprised look* Me?
Allie: I'm not comfortable with the idea of kissing some other guy and I know I won't be comfortable with the actual action. I want you to help me with this whole experience. I wanna experience it with you.
Nat: What? You mean, like..intimacy?
Allie: *nods shyly*
Nat: That's..pretty intense, Allz. You're my friend.
Allie: And friends help each other. It's not like we're weird about touching each other. We do it all the time. We kiss on each other all the time. This was the first time on the lips.
Nat: I guess. But.. I mean, you're asking me to guide you through intimacy. You don't feel weird about that? Asking for something that intense? Something that leads to sex?
Allie: I know it's intense, but so are these feelings that I have. And I couldn't choose anyone but you, to be with me on this. I trust you, I love you. I know you respect me. I know you won't hurt me.
Nat: *looks at her* Are you sure about this?
Allie: Yes. Comfort is really important to me, in this.
Nat: It's important to me, too. I know what you mean.
Allie: I mean.. Are you comfortable with other girls?
Nat: Not really. Mostly because, I know their intentions. They don't really care, but I do. I'm not really that comfortable with other girls. Being intimate with them. I'm more comfortable with you.
Allie: You are?
Nat: Yeah.
Allie: So, why don't we help each other explore this together? Best friends..
Nat: *looks at her* You're really sure?
Allie: Yes. Will you do this with me? For me? Together?
Nat: First.. I need to know the terms. What are your rules? I don't wanna do this, if it's gonna affect us. I love you. And I don't wanna lose you.
Allie: I love you, too.
Nat: I don't wanna do anything that'll make you uncomfortable. I want you as comfortable as possible.
Allie: Nat, do whatever you want. This is you we're talking about. I know you won't let yourself go overboard, anyway. But, I want you to be as comfortable as possible, too. We do this, it's only with each other. No one else. We keep this between us. We help each other explore. Open each other up. Whatever it is. We don't hesitate, we don't hold back. To make it feel more real. We trust each other. We take care of each other. Just us.
Nat: *stays silent for a minute* And, you are absolutely sure about this?
Allie: Absolutely 100% sure.
Nat: …..Ok. If you're sure, then..so am I.
Allie: Really?
Nat: Yeah. You're right. We're best friends and we trust each other with everything. Why not this? I did just trust you with my first kiss/make out session.
Allie: *giggles a bit* Yeah.
Nat: *smiles warmly at her* Just us.
Allie: *smiles* Just us. *kisses him*
Nat: There you go. *kisses back* Come on. *kiss* Try.. *kiss* To follow me. *kiss* Nice and slow.. *kiss*
Allie: *kissing him, she follows the movement of his lips*
Nat: That's it.. *kiss* Yeah.. *kiss, kiss*
Allie: *moans a little and continues kissing him, following his lead*
Nat: Just.. *kiss* Like.. *kiss* That.. *kiss, kiss* Yeah.. *kiss, kiss*
Allie: *moans at his voice and touches his face*
Nat: *kisses her deeply and passionately, gently touching her body*
Allie: *follows the movement of Nat's lips, lost in the feel of them against hers*
Nat: *rests his hand on her waist and continues kissing her, soft and slow*
Allie: *wraps her arms around him and slides one hand up to his hair, fisting it gently*
(They end up making out for a while, until they heard Laura call them down for dinner.)
{She fades into another flashback...}
(Allie is out with Nat, The Guys, Kristina, and Aviana. They're at Central Park, at the skatepark. Nat and The Guys had walked off to get some hot dogs for everyone, and Kristina had to run somewhere to use to restroom, so Allie and Aviana were left alone. They were arguing.)
Allie: I don't care what you want! He's MY best friend! Not yours! And I'm not gonna stop hanging out with him, just because you don't like me!
Aviana: 'Cause I know you're in love with him! That's why I don't like you! I've waited a whole year, just to get with him and I'm not gonna let anyone get in between us! He is mine now! And you're history! I don't like you around him! Therefore, I want you to get lost!
Allie: It's not gonna happen! Whether you like it or not, I am always gonna be around him! I was here first! And no one is gonna take that spot! NO ONE! And definitely not you!
Aviana: The only reason you're still around is because Nat feels sorry for you! He's just being nice! That's the only reason you're still here! Trust me, if he wasn't so nice, you'd be long gone! You're just the pathetic, clingy friend that he can't get away from!
(The Guys come back, along with Nat.)
Nat: Hey, we got the food.
Allie: *glares at Aviana, then pushes past Nat and The Guys, and runs off*
Nat: *stumbles back a bit* Wha - - Allie! *sits the food down and runs after her*
Allie: *keeps running, with tears in her eyes*
Nat: Allie! *running after her*
Allie: *keeps running, not looking back*
Nat: Allie! Stop! *still running after her*
Allie: *doesn't stop, heading towards a busy street*
Nat: *sees she's not slowing down and runs faster* (He catches her just before she steps into the street.)
Allie: *gasps a bit*
Nat: Stop! ! *holding her tight* (Nat picks her up and takes her beneath an empty gazebo, where he sits them down.)
Allie: Let me go.
Nat: What is the matter? ? Why did you run off like that? ?
Allie: Nothing.
Nat: Don't tell me nothing, when I know it's something.
Allie: *sniffles and wipes her eyes*
Nat: What happened?
Allie: *wipes her eyes*
Nat: Was it Aviana?
Allie: You know it was her.
Nat: What is with you two? ? What did she say now? ?
Allie: That the only reason you still hang out with me, is because you feel sorry for me, and I'm just the pathetic, clingy friend that you can't get away from.
Nat: You know that's not true! Why do you react to her?! Why do you give her the reaction she wants!? I love you, Allz! You know that's not how I feel about you!
Allie: *sniffles*
Nat: Look, I'm sure that she didn't mean that. She's probably just PMSing again. But, no matter what the situation is, you should never question my love for you.
Allie: Do you think I'm clingy? *sniffles*
Nat: No! And even if you were, I wouldn't care! I love you for you! I love you wanting to be around me. I love being around you. *hugging her* You're my bunny.
Allie: *smiles a bit and sniffles*
Nat: No matter what, it will always be me and you. Always. I'll talk to Aviana. Set her straight. But don't you ever run away from me like that, again! *squeezes her*
Allie: Ok. *sniffles* I'm sorry.
Nat: Look at me.
Allie: *looks at him*
Nat: I love you. *kisses her nose*
Allie: I love you, too. *hugs him*
Nat: *hugs her body tightly*
Allie: *hugs him tighter, burying her face in his neck*
(They ended up sitting there for a while, holding each other, until they went back to their friends. Nat went straight to Aviana.)
Nat: What's the matter with you!?
Aviana: What are your talking about?
Nat: Stop trying to play me like I'm stupid! You know what I'm talking about! Why would you say that to her!?
Aviana: She made me mad, Ok?! *looks down, with a stuck up pout*
Nat: So you say something that mean to her!?
Aviana: *just folds her arms and doesn't look at him*
Nat: Say you're sorry.
Aviana: *scoffs* As if.
Nat: Either you apologize or I walk away this time!
Aviana: Nat!
Nat: Apologize!.! *snaps*
Aviana: Ok! I'm sorry, Allie! Jesus!
Nat: Thank you! Look, you don't talk to her like that ever again, you understand?!
Aviana: Why are you always so quick to defend her?!
Nat: Because she's my best friend and I'm always gonna have her back! What you said was mean and cruel! What the hell's the matter with you!? Why do you keep attacking her!?
Aviana: She keeps making me mad!
Nat: That doesn't mean you make her sad! And I'm pretty sure you're doing something to make her make you mad! In which case, you deserve it! Stop being a bully!
Aviana: *just stands there and pouts*
Nat: *softens a bit and sighs* Look, I don't mean to yell. I just..I don't like people being mean to her. And I especially hate bullies. I know that's not you. So, don't act like it. Ok? *lifts her chin*
Aviana: *looks at him and softens* Ok. For you.
Nat: Thank you. *pecks her lips*
Aviana: *giggles*
Nat: *chuckles and takes her hand* Now, can we eat?
Aviana: Yes.
Allie: *just rolls her eyes behind their backs*
(They all eat their hot dogs, while sitting on a hill, talking. The flashback fades out.)
{She fades into another one…}
(Nat is loading up his truck, getting ready to get on the road and leave for MIT. All of his friends, his parents, and Laura were all standing outside, waiting to see him off. Allie was up in his room, sitting on his naked mattess, crying, and holding the stuffed blue-eyed wolf that Nat had given her. She could hear him out front, loading up his truck. She was looking all around his room, remembering all the good memories they shared in there. She hears everyone out front talking.)
Thomas: Man. We're seriously gonna miss you, dude.
David: Yeah. You're the leader, dude. We're gonna go nuts while you're not around. *chuckles*
The Guys: *chuckle*
Nat: *chuckles* You guys will be fine. We're all going to college. You're supposed to go nuts.
David: Yeah, but we're not leaving for another month. You're leaving today.
Nat: MIT is different from where you guys are going. I gotta take off early.
Thomas: Which sucks.
Nat: Not for me. I've been waiting for this day. This is my dream school. *excited chuckle*
Alex: How can you be excited about leaving your only brother?
Nat: *chuckles* Aww, Alex. You know I'm gonna miss you, bud.
Alex: It's gonna be so boring without you.
Nat: At least you got the guys for another month. And Teala.
Alex: Teala is something to be happy about.
The Guys: Hey!
Nat and Alex: *laugh and fist bump each other*
David: Not cool, squirt!
Alex: You'll get over it. *chuckling*
Qaasim: It amazes me how Aviana couldn't make it to see you off. Any other time, she's up your ass. And not in a good way.
Polly: Doesn't amaze me.
Michael and Laura: Us either. *roll their eyes*
Nat: It's cool. We said our goodbyes last night. She said she had an appointment or something. I don't really mind. Besides, I'd prefer she not be around Allie today. She's pretty emotional today.
Laura: Yeah. My baby is just tore apart.
Polly: So am I. *sniffles and wipes her eyes* My baby is leaving me.
Nat: Aw, Ma. *goes and hugs her tight*
Polly: *sobs a little and hugs him tight* My sweet sweet boy. I don't want you to leave mommy.
Nat: I know, Ma. *hugging her* I don't wanna leave you either. But, you raised me to be successful in life. And that means getting out there and making things happen.
Polly: I know. *smothered in his arm* I kind of wished I hadn't.
Everyone: *laughs a little*
Nat: I'll be home for every holiday. Promise. *kisses her cheek*
Polly: You better be. Or I will come up there and get you myself.
Nat: *chuckles* Sì, Mammá. *kisses her head* I love you.
Polly: I love you so much more, Papì. *kisses his face all over* You call me every day. You hear me?
Nat: Yes ma'am.
Michael: You be good up there, Papa. *pats Nat's back* Rock 'em with that brain.
Nat: You got it, dad. *hugs him*
Michael: *hugs him back* I love you, pal.
Nat: I love you more, dad.
Michael: *kisses his hair*
Nat: Watch out for Allie, for me, please? She's not really doing too well with this.
Michael: I know. You know I'll take care of her.
Nat: Thanks, dad.
Michael: No need for thanks. You know she's the daughter I always wanted. *chuckles*
Nat: I know. *chuckles* I just don't want my bunny to miss me too much.
Laura: You know that's not gonna happen.
David: I think she's seriously just sitting up there, in his room.
Thomas: Touching his naked mattress. If she loves that thing so much, she could just take it. *chuckles*
Cooper: She has slept on that mattress for a long time.
Nat: There is no mattress with her. *chuckles a bit* I'm her mattress. She doesn't sleep on that thing, she sleeps on me.
Laura: Exactly why she's gonna miss you too much.
Nat: *chuckles* I had a feeling. Mom number 2. *hugs Laura*
Laura: *sniffles and hugs him back tightly* Oh, I can't believe my Fat Daddy is leaving me.
Nat: I'll be back soon, for the holidays. Don't be sad.
Laura: I honestly dreaded this day happening. I just wanna hold you in my arms and bottle feed you again, and never let you go. *sniffles*
Nat: *chuckles and rubs her back* Aw.
Laura: I'm gonna miss you so much, Kaipo.
Nat: I'm gonna miss you too. *kisses her cheek*
Laura: You be good up there. I love you. *kisses his face*
Nat: *kisses her hair* I love you, too.
Laura: I'll go get Allie, ok? *touches his face*
Nat: Ok.
(Laura goes inside and goes straight up to Nat's room. She stands in the doorway and knocks on the threshold.)
Laura: Baby?
Allie: I'm not going down there. *sniffles* I can't do this, mom.
Laura: Honey, I know this is hard for you. But, you know he has to go.
Allie: No he doesn't! He doesn't HAVE to go, he WANTS to go!
Laura: You think Nat WANTS to leave you? ?
Allie: He's sure acting like it, mom! Look at how excited he is, just to get away from here!
Laura: Alexandra, you know better than that. *goes and sits next to her* This is just as hard for him, as it is for you. He loves you. And leaving you hurts him, more than it hurts you. He's just being strong. For the both of you.
Allie: *sobs* I really don't want him to go, mom. *cries into her shoulder*
Laura: *hugs her* I know you don't, princess. But, it's for his future. Aren't you proud of him?
Allie: Of course I am, but I don't want him to leave me! *crying* I can't take this, mom! I love him so much and I need him! We've never been apart!
Laura: Shh. I know, baby. *kisses her hair* But, he's not really leaving you. Nat would never just leave you, honey. And, you know that. You two are just going to different schools. Like you did in elementary. Look at it that way. It's no different. Nat will still be around, and he will still be there for you. Like always. You know he's dreamed of going to MIT all his life. And, now that it's really happening for him, you have to be supportive. Even it means you two won't be together for a short while. We are all gonna miss him while he's gone. But we know he'll be back. You know he'll be back. Soon, you two will be all done with school, graduated, living in your own places. And then, you can see each other all you want. You'll have good jobs, like you two always talked about. And, hopefully, you'll both be off having families of your own. And your kids can grow up together. *chuckles a bit* Quite frankly, I can't wait till Nat has kids. Don't you wanna see a little Nat?
Allie: *stays silent* (Thinking: I wanna have a little Nat. I wanna have a bunch of little Nat's.)
Laura: None of that can happen, if you don't let him go off to school. I know it'll be hard, but you have to go say goodbye to him. He's waiting for you. And he's gonna be really hurt if he doesn't see you, before he goes.
Allie: *stays silent for a minute, then exhales sadly* Ok.
Laura: *helps her up* Ok. Come on.
(Laura and Allie slowly make their way outside to everyone. Nat was having a group hug with the guys. They break apart and Nat turns around to find Allie. He sticks his hands in his pockets and slowly walks over to her. She was still holding the stuffed wolf that Nat had given her.)
Nat: Hey, you. *soft smile*
Allie: *sniffles and smiles weakly* Hey.
Nat: *leans his head down, resting his forehead down on hers* Please don't cry. *soft voice*
Allie: Please don't leave. *looking up into his eyes*
Nat: I don't want to, but you know I have to. I'm doing this for us. For you. *whispering softly* I love you so much, Allie J. *touches her face with one hand* And I'm gonna miss you so much, that it aches.
Allie: *sobs, closes her eyes, and cries into his chest*
Nat: *wraps his arms around her and hugs her tightly, lifting her*
Allie: *wraps her arms around his neck*
Nat:*wraps her legs around him* I love you, Allz.
Allie: *crying* I love you, too.
Nat: *kisses all over the side of her face* You'll see me again, soon. Ok?
Allie: *nods in his chest*
Nat: I have something for you. *puts her down and goes into his truck*
(He comes back holding his deep blue down comforter, from his bed. He gives it to her.)
Allie: *tears fall down her cheeks, as she stares at the comforter* Nat..
Nat: I know how much you love this thing and how much it means to you. All the time we spent together underneath it.. The words we said to each other, wrapped up in it and each other.. It's your bed peace.
Allie: Mostly because it smells and feels just like you. *whimpers*
Nat: *puts his hands over hers, on the comforter* Keep it warm for us.. And, I'll cuddle like you crazy underneath it, like always, the next time I see you.
Allie: *shuts her eyes, sobs, and nods*
Nat: *wraps his arms around her and hugs her tight, her face in his chest* You be good down there. You have fun. I'll call you every day. I promise. *kisses on her hair*
Allie: *holds on to him as tight as possible, crying* I love you.
Nat: I love you, too, Nani. *sniffles and kisses on the side of her face*
(Allie watches Nat get into his truck, shut his door, pull off, and wave to everyone one last time, before he disappeared. Everyone watched him, until they couldn't see his truck anymore. Allie held on to her mom tight and bawled in her chest. Laura, along with Kristina, held her and comforted her for the rest of the month. The flashback fades out.)
