Chapter twenty-two - Nathan
My mum is crazy, particularly when she teams up with Leanna's mum, but the scariest part of their stupid little prank was that while I was sitting there, being forced to stare at Leanna's horrified face while my mum fake proposed on my behalf, I thought about what they were trying to scare me with and I wasn't scared, not at all.
The images rushing through my head at the prospect of spending the rest of my life with Leanna were all good, going to university, living together, getting married, right here at this cabin, having children, I can't imagine wanting to do it with anyone else.
But Leanna looked like she was being handed a death sentence and I can't blame her, that's the rational response for an eighteen year old who's only a few days into a relationship, not to embrace it wholeheartedly and want to help with table decorations.

I text my friends to pre warn them I'm driving in with Nathan this morning and wish I hadn't as I'm inundated with questions all the way to school, which don't stop even when I tell them I'll explain when I get there.Shane, Luke and Gemma hop out of the back and run off to meet their own friends and Nathan grabs my hand, walking with me towards where my friends are standing."I'll see you later." He whispers, kissing me on the cheek and squeezing my hand, and then he's heading away from me, over to where his own friends are."Classroom." Italia pulls me along behind her to our empty tutor room, Millie closing the door behind us and then they're all standing there, waiting expectantly for me to tell them what's going on."Uh… So Nathan and I are kind of seeing eac

The fact that someone has sent Leanna flowers is obviously bothering her more than it is me because she can't stop looking at the card, even once we get into her room."You could ring the florist?" I suggest, the fifth time she picks it up. "Ask them if they've got a record of who sent them?"She got her phone out immediately and googled the place on the card, clicking to call and then sighing, pressing the speakerphone to let me hear the answerphone message."Uh… hi, my name's Leanna Woodson, I had some flowers delivered today from yourselves and I wondered if someone could give me a call back please." She hangs up after giving them her mobile number."Hey, relax, it's flowers not a horse's head in your bed." I hug her, pulling her to lay down on her bed.

My run cleared my head and gave me a new perspective on the situation.So what if someone's sent me flowers, they're flowers, what are they going to do to me? I'm not allergic or anything, so they're going to look pretty while they slowly die in the vase on my windowsill.Well, doesn't that just sound like life in general? No wonder Kim is intent on experiencing everything she can!So I'm over the flower thing, it's done, the picture message someone sent Nathan though, is harder to feel relaxed about. He's got it in his head that someone's trying to split us up and is trying to narrow down the suspects when to me it's fairly obvious.Georgie. She's got a history of doing bizarre things when she likes someone, she's alrea

Leanna wants to forget about the flowers and the text, and after her very convincing argument last night, I agreed to do whatever she wanted me to.We slept wrapped up in one another and as soon as the memory of last night filtered into my brain, I was ready and desperate to take her again.I'm patient, so very patient, waiting until she wakes up before I start kissing her. She responds immediately, rolling onto her back and letting me settle between her legs. I slip beneath the blanket, licking and teasing her the way I planned to do last night, before the night took a different turn."Now, Nathan, I need you now." She tugs on my arms, I roll on a condom and slide easily inside her."Good morning." She giggles when I collapse on top of her.

My parents were furious when we got home and showed them what was going on, my dad rang the school and insisted on a meeting that evening. Both they and Nathan's parents went in and came back more enraged."They say they'll get the graffiti removed and do an assembly on bullying and it's consequences. As if that's going to solve the problem." My dad paces back and forth in the living room. My mum holds me close to her, hugging me, as if just her arms could protect me from everything.My friends have come around and are sitting in the living room with us, even Kim's friends have said they'll talk to people and see what they can find out.While his dad speaks to the police, Nathan has his notepad of names in front of him, staring at it and barely moving."The officer sugge

This week has been stressful with the stupid boyfriend poll randomly popping up everywhere. Goodness knows what they're judging it on because somehow Max is in the lead and even Jack has got some points even though he's back at university, whereas in trailing in the back with only a single mark. Not that I'm really looking into it at all, but it's annoying to know they're trying to make out like someone else would be better for Leanna than I am. Anyway, because we've had a hard week and Kim's throwing her party tonight, today I'm making Leanna skip school and taking her ice skating instead. I've cleared it with both sets of parents and they're ok with it under the circumstances. It feels nice to be away from the drama of everything and actually act like a proper couple, a bit like when we were on holiday, we can just be us. We used to come a lot when we were kids, racing each other around as fast as we could or dancing during the weekend disco's but I haven't been since we stopped

We were at the police station for ages last night, Nathan's dad is furious, my parents are too, but he's not hiding it and is directing it at police, who in his words "have let us down and could have allowed us to be seriously injured or worse if his son was driving like a regular teenage boy and not being careful because his girlfriend was in the car." After we eventually leave the police station, Max insists on coming back with us and checking over the rest of our cars, just in case they'd been tampered with too. Jake stands over him like a terrifying and silent guard, making sure he checks Kim's thoroughly, before taking it for a test drive around the block, just to be sure. Jake's brothers however around making everyone feel nervous while they wait for him to come back, and then they disappear down to the road with him, talking in hushed tones before the

"I can't find my phone." Leanna grumbles, tearing the pillows and quilt from her bed and then chucking them back on and dropping down to look underneath it. "I haven't seen it since last night at the cinema and then you distracted me with kisses and things, so I forgot until this morning.""Maybe you left it there? We can pop in on the way back from the beach? They should be open by then." She nods, leaving her bedding in a heap on the bed and pulling her trainers on.Leanna and I have been jogging along the beach every morning the last three weeks, the sun beating down on our backs and it's how it should have always been.Three weeks of complete uninterrupted bliss, there's been no texts since the night her car brakes were tampered with, the boyfriend pole seems to have been forgotten and although I was worried dur
