*Nate's P.O.V*

I woke up the next morning and walked downstairs. Shane was eating some cereal and Jason was reading the paper. I grabbed my phone off the counter and decided to text someone. As I was going through my contacts I came across Ashley. All the events from last night. I wanted to make sure she was ok, even if she didn't care, so I texted her. I closed my phone and saw Jason staring at me.

"What?"

"Who you texting?"

"No one…"

"So Shane tells me that the part got a little out of hand last night…"

I glared at Shane for even talking to Jason about it. "I guess…"

"He told me about David and Ashley. And that you pretty much saved Ashley's life…"

"Yeah, I guess I kinda did…"

"Nate…"

"What?" I asked him.

"You still like her don't you…"

"Why wouldn't I Jason? We were perfect… why did I have to be so stupid!"
I started pacing around the living room, cussing myself out under my breath. Shane and Jason watched me then it hit me that they didn't exactly know what happened.

"You guys are probably wondering why we did break up aren't you?"

Jason looked at me. "Ya think? All we know is that you 2 were in love then one day you said it was over."

"The total and complete truth is that… I got drunk at a party and cheated on her…" I looked up at my brothers. They had looks of anger and frustration on their faces.

"You did what?" Jason yelled at me.

"I was drunk, I didn't know what I was doing! I… I almost had sex that night…"

"With who?" Shane asked me.

"Larissa…" I looked up at them and Shane looked confused… and Jason looked disappointed.

"Nate, you were 15 when you dated her. You were drunk at 15. I-" I cut him off.

"I think someone had spiked my drink, because I didn't drink that night…"

"I'm really disappointed in you Nate." Jason said.

"Listen, I know I screwed up. I've had to go through the past 3 years with the girl I still lover hating my guts with a passion. And covering up those feelings…"

"So wait. You're telling me that you became the bad boy just because you were trying to hide the feelings you still had for Ash?" Shane asked me.

"Yeah… cause I wanted to get over her. But it never worked because every time I saw her… all those feelings resurfaced. I miss her… and it's all my fault I lost her. I wish there was something I could do to get her back."

"Nate, if we find out anything-" I cut off Shane.

"Never mind, I'm gonna go take a nap." I walked upstairs and laid on my bed. I opened my drawer and lifted up the wood panel in the bottom of it, revealing a secret spot where I kept pictures… of me and Ashley. I pulled out one and smiled at it. She was the best thing that had ever happened in my life and because of my stupid mistake, I lost her. She hates me and I love her… it sucks. I soon fell asleep but was awoken a few hours later by the sound of a familiar, but no longer common ringtone. It was Ashley's. I looked at my phone confused and picked it up.
"Hello?"
"Hey Nate… its Ashley… can we talk?"
