Chapter 42: Three (Part One)
Thanks for reading, thanks for the constructive criticism, thanks for following, and thanks for the support. I haven't been able to post due to the
internet being down, and I'll be moving at the end of April, so that process takes up a lot of my time. Thanks for your patience, and consideration!
My Hallelujah belongs to You. "I'm rich." (Bruce Wayne v.)
Nathan saw Luke and smirked.
"Save it, Prince Charming. Nobody's buying it." Luke muttered under his breath, as he sat down on the lowest part of the bleachers.
"So, did you come to apologize?" Nathan taunted, sitting at the top.
"You have a rare gift."
"What's that?"
"I think it's being hated."
"It's just jealousy. You'll get over it. Eventually they all do. I'm the man."
"You really think that's everybody else's problem don't you?"
"Pfft. It is."
"No, it's yours."
"Maybe it's yours, o holy one."
"Sure it is. That's right, blame me for your problems."
"This is your fault!" Nathan yelled, standing up.
Lucas turned around.
"You used my best friend, just to hold her over me. You have a lot of nerve."
"Your words of disapproval show me what you think about me. What was that brother routine really about?"
"I'm just a mistake to you, right? I'm just a lowly, grubby worm for you and your friends to step on whenever you wish, right?" Luke yelled back.
"I wish I was the mistake! You're not the one who has to live up to his standards! I do!"
"Why should you be with Haley? You can't even take responsibility for what you do. Dan can't control you Nate. He only had a part in making you. I can't believe I'm
saying this, but my mom was right. God doesn't make mistakes. Your life is not a mistake."
"Right. Let me be with Haley if my life is not a mistake."
"That's not his call Nathan. Partly, it's mine." Haley said, walking up.
