A/N: Hello everyone and welcome back to another Chapter of this Story! Sorry I was gone for so long but the truth is… I killed my plot bunnies… all of them… It was an accident, I swear! But anyways, I hope you enjoy this chapter, because it took me a while to think of a plot. Favorite and Reviews are loved! Once again, I hope you enjoy this Chapter! ^_^
The sky was filled with grey clouds. It was raining heavily. The winds were blowing wildly. The thunder roared. The Lightning crashed. But she didn't care. She kept on crying. She didn't know why. He loved her, and she knew that. She should be happy, but she wasn't. She felt sad, miserable, but she wasn't crying for herself… she was crying for him.
The orange-haired girl, known as Natalie, continued to cry with her hands covering her face. She felt cold, both from the rain and the wild winds, but she could care less- all she could do- all she wanted to do was to cry at the moment.
'Why?' she thought, 'Why me?'
She clearly remembered the time when she first met him. She was still a child at that time when she saw him as he walked up to her, in his baggy jeans and shirt that was stained with dirt and such, his golden hair swaying with the wind.
"Hi," he said.
"Hi," she replied.
The boy smiled and said, "What's your name?"
She smiled, "I'm Natz," she couldn't pronounce the word 'Natalie' at that time, so she called herself 'Natz'.
"Cool," he said, "I'm Matt, do you like cats?"
Her smile widened, "I do! I have a cat! His name's NoLegs! Do you want to meet him?"
His smile widens as well, "I sure do! Let's go see him!"
The two became close friends that day. One could say that it was love at first sight. The two were sometimes out in the fields, chasing after cats or various other creatures, or they would be down by the lake, tossing pebbles into the water and watching the ripples form and disappear. Yet the two were unaware of their feelings for each other.
Years passed, and the two of them traveled together when they were old enough to do so. The two would slay monsters that came in their way, cheering in joy as they triumphed over their foes. Yet the two were still unaware of their feelings for each other.
It was when the two came across the flower field did they know their feelings for each other.
"Matt! Look at this!" Natalie said as she ran towards the ocean-wide field that was covered in multiple colored flowers, "It's beautiful!"
The other took a while to look around before saying, "It sure is, there're probably thousands of flowers here!"
"Maybe even billions!" She said, not taking her eyes off the ruby red roses that had caught her attention.
As the two silently stood beside each other, marveling at the scenery before them, Matt suddenly realized something.
"Natz?" He said as he turned to Natalie. Matt still called her 'Natz' and, unknowingly, it had become her nickname.
"Yeah?" She said as she turned to Matt.
"I love you,"
She blushed, and said, "I love you, too,"
It was what she said at that moment that made her felt so guilty. She should have pushed him away- should have told him that she didn't feel the same for him, but she didn't. She regretted not telling him that, even if she felt the same for him.
If she did, she wouldn't have hurt him.
"Natz!" Matt cried as he ran after her. She heard him, but she continue to run up the stairs, she didn't want to see him, not now, not after what happened-
"It's not your fault that we couldn't save him!" She winced, but she didn't stop, she continued to run. She blamed herself for this. The two had come back to their hometown when she found out her Father was sick with a kind of disease. She knew how to cure it, but they didn't make it back in time. Her Father was dead when they reached her house.
"Stop it!" Natalie screamed when she reached her room, only to find that Matt was still chasing after her, "Leave me alone!" She slammed the door in his face, just as the other reached for her.
Matt didn't withdraw his hand; his arm got caught between the door and the doorway.
As the force from the door slammed down onto his arm, Matt bit back a scream. His arm was being crushed. But he still didn't withdraw his arm. Instead, he tried to prey open the door.
However, Natalie didn't open the door for him. Seeing as the other still refused to leave, she applied more force in an attempt to slam the door shut, "Go away!" she screamed.
Matt shook his head. He wouldn't leave her! Not when he knew that the other needed him, even if she didn't want him!
It was when Natalie's cousins came did the whole hassle end- Natalie had broken Matt's arm.
She continued to let her tears roll down her cheeks. She was ashamed of herself. She had hurt him, she had hurt the one she loved because of what she hadn't done.
'Why…'
'I should have told him to go away…'
"…Natz…"
'I wouldn't have hurt him if I've told him to…'
"…Natz…!"
'I should have-'
"Natz!"
Her eyes snapped open and she looked up, and saw a familiar blond standing before her, tears still streaming down her face.
"Natz, don't you ever run off like that again!" Matt said as he embraced her. However, Natalie pushed him away.
"Matt, leave me alone!"
Matt shook his head, "I won't! I care about you!"
Natalie turned away from the other, trying to stop her tears from dropping, "You shouldn't care…"
"Why shouldn't I?" Matt said, "I love you!"
"You shouldn't!" Natalie screamed- she couldn't control herself, "You shouldn't love me- not after what I did to you!" She was referring to Matt's broken arm, "I- I've hurt you! You shouldn't even care!"
Seeing that Matt was shocked by her words, she explained, "Y-you should… find s-someone else… s-someone t-that won't hurt you…" She cried again, feeling even more guilty that before. It was because she loved him did she wanted him to let her go- so she couldn't hurt him anymore.
The two stood in silence for a while, the heavy rain pounded on them. The winds were even more violent that before, and neither the thunder nor lightening stop.
"Natz… if I wanted someone else, I would have left a long time ago…" Matt said softly, "Physical wounds can heal, but mental ones won't- I don't care if you've broke my arm- it'll heal soon enough, but if you left me… I don't know if I could ever be the same again,"
Natalie sniffed, "Matt… you're too stubborn for your own good…"
Matt smiled, "What if I am?" he said as he leaned towards the other, "Nothing's going to change how I feel about you, Natz, you'll hurt me even more if you left me,"
As Natalie looked up at him, Matt lowered his voice and asked, "Natz… do you love me?"
"I-I do…" Natz said, barely above a whisper, "D-do you love me?"
Matt didn't reply, but Natalie didn't need to hear his reply. She knew his answer when she felt the other's lips on hers.
"I do,"
A/N: I am such a copycat… this was, once again, taken from a book that I do not own… I hope I do not get sued for this because I changed everything… literally… Anyways, if you find any mistakes please tell me and I will try my best to correct them. Thank you for reading!
