This takes place after U3 but before U4 and if Natalie doesn't end up with Chloe! Thanks for reading!
"What the hell are you doing here?" I spat at my twin brother as I had half a mind to slam the door in his face.
Again.
"Nice to see you too." Nate replied as I put my weight on one foot, leaning against the door.
He didn't just show up out of the blue for nothing.
"Can I come in or are you gonna slam the door in my face again?" Nate questioned as I smiled, tilting my head to the side.
"What do you think?" I spat before reaching for the door handle but Nate put a hand on the door.
"At least let me talk." Nate said as I moved to the side, allowing him to enter.
Nate walked into my small apartment as I crossed my arms.
He slowly walked over to my desk, seeing the maps and the books.
"Natty..." Nate said as I shook my head before pointing an accusing finger at him.
"No. You don't get to call me that. Not anymore!" I told him as he put his hand on his hips.
I turned my back to him before slamming the books close and turning off the little lamp next to the papers.
"You're still upset over that? Natalie, we had to stop at some point." Nate said as I spun around on my heel, looking him right in the eyes.
"You. You said you had to quit. Not me." I told him before marching into the kitchen.
I opened the fridge before pulling out a beer and twisting the top off.
I took a quick drink as I put the bottle on the table and sitting down in a chair.
"What do you want, Nathan?" I asked him as he sat down across from me.
"Look. You haven't been the same since that incident with Marlowe." Nate said as I shook my head.
Not this again.
"I'm perfectly fine, Nate." I told him as he looked at me and I stared at him back.
"No, you're not. You've completely isolated yourself!" Nate said, his voice getting louder.
I stood up as the chair slid back.
"Who the hell could I talk to?! Huh?! You're settled down with Elena and Sully, Chloe ran of with Cutter, and Flynn's dead! This work is all I have left!" I shouted as I felt tears forming in my eyes as I forced them back.
Nate slowly stood up as I glared at him.
"So why don't you get back to your precious wife, huh?" I mocked as he ran a hand through his hair.
I picked up the bottle before pushing past him, sitting on the couch.
"Natalie, I came here to ask if you wanted to live with Elena and I. You could even get a job where I work at." Nate said as I let out a harsh laugh.
Surely he wasn't serious!
"You're out of your mind, Nate. That's what you are." I told him as I stood up, walking to the front door.
"The answer's no. Get out." I told him as he looked at me with those sad eyes of his.
Those didn't work on me. Never did.
Never will.
"Natalie, it's different without you around. Sully misses you. I miss you." Nate said as I scoffed.
"Not to different, it seems. You just randomly pop in then drop off the face of the earth again." I said as he looked at me.
He would always do this. He would randomly show up, talk for a few minutes, then disappear.
It was like a sick cycle.
"Natalie, you can't just shut yourself off. Listen, I've always been here for you. I always will. I'm your brother, for crying out loud!" Nate said as I shook my head, not believing a word he said.
Nate grabbed me by the shoulders as I stared at him.
"Just, listen. For once. I left because I'm a married man now, true. That didn't stop me from caring about my twin sister." Nate said as I got in his face.
"Then why did you chase after Elena while I laid in a bed, immobile. I almost died from that grenade, Nathan! I did die until Chloe managed to bring me back! She was there a hell of a lot more than you!" I screamed as I pointed at the door.
"Get out of my apartment! Now!" I yelled as he sighed.
"I'll call-" Nate said when I pushed him.
"Get out!" I screamed as he left the room and I slammed the door closed, locking it.
I finally allowed the tears to spill as I knocked the bottle off of the dresser, the glass shattering upon hitting the floor.
I sat on the couch before wiping my eyes.
I hated my life right about now...
