AN: Okay, this songfic might be confusing to some people. I personally find Nate to be one of the more mysterious people on the SSX3 roster. You pretty much know a good deal about the other rider's past, but not much about Nate. So I made this songfic to show how he was before the SSX circut, and how he got that "first snowboard"(If you dont get that, play the game, and read his Bio).
Also, I added a little drama/romance element to it, you will know it when you see it.
This is also one of the songfics that REALLY go well if you read it as you listen to the song. Much like Chapter 1(Griff) it fits very will.
And now, on with the songfic.
Chapter 5: Nate/Yellowcard - Way Away
*As the song starts, Nate gets out of bed, putting on a pair of thick jeans, a white tank top shirt, gloves, and his cowboy hat. He begins walking out the door*
[I think I'm breaking out]
*On his way he picks up a large jar full of dollars and cents, the side of the jar reads "SSX or Bust"*
[I'm going to leave you now]
*He passes by a picture of he and a lady with red hair, he is holding on on his back and smiling as she is kissing him on the cheek. He gives the picture a quick touch before he exits*
[Theres nothing for me here, it's all the same]
*He rides on a large black horse, herding sheep into a large group*
[And even though I know]
*Later, he walkes out of his boss's office, counting the money he has and putting it into the jar*
[That everything might go]
*He looks at his watch and heads to the bathroom, changing into a black shirt and some casual pants*
[Go downhill from here, I'm not afraid]
*He gets on his horse, and begins riding down the street as night begins to fall around them*
[Way away away from here I'll be]
*As he rides, he passes by the local Ski Shop, he looks at the one and only snowboard in the window, he stares hard at it, his eyes glitter like a little boy looking at his favorite toy in the window*
[Way away away so you can see]
*He rides up to the front of a busy nightclub, he puts on a headset and grabs a clipboard*
[How it feels to be alone and not believe (Feels to be alone and not believe)]
*He hops off of his horse, and takes his place at the front of the line*
[Feels to be alone and not believe anything]
*He sighs at the long line of party goers he has to deal with tonight*
[You can't stop me now]
*He turns to two young girls, maybe 15. As they try to give him thier IDs. He looks them up and down, and takes thier ID's away from them and sends them on thier way*
[You can't hold me down]
*Later, Nate throws out a rowdy drunken party goer, who looks alot like JP...*
[You can't keep me here, I'm on my way]
*Afew seconds later, Nate throws out a couple more of the persons posse, then climbs back onto his horse*
[I've made it this far now]
*He gallops down the empty streets, trying hard to get to the Ski shop before it closes*
[And I'm not burning out]
*He dodges park benches and other obstackles, pushing his horse to the limit*
[No matter what you say, I'm not afraid]
*He jumps over a parked car with the horse, just in time to see the manager close up shop*
[Way away away from here I'll be]
*Nate slams his fist onto the door, begging the owner to open up*
[Way away away so you can see]
*The manager looks at him with fear, he is afraid of Nate*
[How it feels to be alone and not believe (Feels to be alone and not believe)]
*Nate slams on the door, holding the jar in his hand and mouthing out the words "SNOWBOARD" and pointing to the window..only to see that the snowboard isnt there...*
[Feels to be alone and not believe anything]
*The manager tells him its sold out..Nate hangs his head..and gets on his horse, riding back to his home..as he opens the door, he sees candles lit all over the place*
[Letting out the noise inside of me (Letting out the noise inside of me)]
*The girl from the picture is sitting on the edge of Nate's bad, calling him to come over*
[Every window pane is shattering (Every window pane is shattering)]
*He sits next to her, holding her had he explains everything*
[Cutting up my words before I speak (Cutting up my words)]
*She rests her finger over his mouth, shushing him, and kisses him deeply*
[This is how it feels to not believe]
*The both lean back onto the bed, his cowboy hat falling off*
[Letting out the noise inside of me (Letting out the noise inside of me)]
*The covers on the bed bunch up, Nates hands can be seen hugging the girls back, a tattoo that reads "Lindsy" is on his chest over his heart. On her back a tattoo that reads "Nate" is on her shoulder*
[Every window pane is shattering (Every window pane is shattering)]
*They roll over constantly on the bed, by this point you have a good idea of whats happening*
[Cutting up my words before I speak (Cutting up my words)]
*The jar of money bounces on the edge of the bed, falling off*
[This is how it feels to not believe]
*The jar hits the ground shattering, the cents spilling all over the floor(Just a hint: Think of what they are doing, and imagine the symbol of lots of small things spilling all over the place.)*
[Way away away from here I'll be]
*The next morning, Nate wakes up with his arm wrapped out Lindsy*
[Way away away so you can see]
*Lindsy smiles at him, and sits up, walking across the room with the covers wrapped around her, and she pulls out a long wrapped object*
[How it feels to be alone and not believe (feels to be alone and not believe)]
*She hands the long object to Nate, who is sitting on the edge of the bed, getting ready for another day at work*
[Feels to be alone and not believe anything]
*He stops, opens the gift, and looks upon the snowboard he saw in the window of the Ski Shop, but with something extra, attached to it is a plane ticket...the ticket reads "Big Mountain, SSX3 Tryouts". He looks up at Lindsay and smiles, saying "I love you"*
Also, I added a little drama/romance element to it, you will know it when you see it.
