Nate's POVI leaned on the door as Tory kept insisting that I tell her friend not to eat the food at the restaurant.I didn't buy it, she was just making it up so I would let her go." Nate please.... please" she said, her voice now shaky." Are you crying?" I asked feeling very uncomfortable. At my question, she launched into full-blown sobs and I immediately pocketed her phone and unlocked the door. " Umm, Tory?" I called when she sat there crying." Geez it's just a date, I'm sure Rex will take you someday" I said very uncomfortably." Is that what you think this is about!" She suddenly yelled, pushing me with so much power that I almost stumbled backward." I told you that she's allergic to shrimps but you won't listen!"" T

Nate's POV It's been precisely a week and three days since Tory's outburst towards me. She has been ignoring me and whenever she didn't feel like ignoring me, she would say hurtful things to me, like calling me crazy, or stupid.  I know I shouldn't care about the names but, I do. I've only seen Mr. Banner once this week and I think I'm starting to figure myself out. Though I've tried to apologize to Tory several times, the words just hang in my throat, and before I even get the chance to say " hi" she glares at me and walks out.  I guess I'm lucky that Rachel didn't die, according to Jake, she has very sensitive taste buds, so when she tasted the food, she could tell that something she's allergic to was in it. She had an immediate reaction to it, she has been recovering in the hospital since and is gonna be in school tomorrow. I didn't tell him that I could've stopped her from

Nate's POV The feel of her body so close to mine made my whole body feel hot. Damn, she's beautiful. What the hell was I thinking brushing off her care like that.  " Your what?" She said and I released her before that bastard called Rex comes here and makes me flip a switch on my calm demeanor. " Disorder," I said, putting my hands in my pocket. " It's called alexithymia, it's a -" " - I know what it is." She said passing her hands through her hair as the realization hit her. " That's why you're such a jerk" " Yeah," I said chuckling. " Does anyone know about this?" " Umm... Yeah" " Who?" " Jake, Zach, Rachel -" " - Rachel...no wonder" she muttered. " Mr. Jenkins and my therapist" " Is the

Tory's POVThe way Nate zoomed off and rolled down the window glass of his car before mouthing the words " deal" to me was just too hot. It took a lot for me not to grin like an Idiot. It was slightly more embarrassing for me when I realized that I do like this version of Nate. He's not very different from the way he used to be, he's still a douche but he's trying not to be and I'm very certain that it's because of me.I've always hated his mother because of the way she spoke about her son and I recalled telling my mom that no matter what if I met Tiffany's son I would show him the love his mother refused to show him - thinking her son was a little boy.Now, knowing that Nate is her son just made everything add up. She never raised him well, it's not his fault he turned out this way. He could change and I want him to, I'll make him to. Actually, I already am." Hey babe," Rex said as he walked

Tory's POV " I don't mean sex Rya," he said, a smirk still on his lips...I felt my nipples harden as he bit his lips and walked closer to me. " Unless you'd like us to-" " - don't even think about it" I hissed and he chuckled.  " Okay, but seriously though. I need you to sleep here, maybe it'll help stop the nightmare" " I'm not the solution to your problems Nate" " You are," he said as he went to his bed and lay down, opening the sheets for me to join him. As I reluctantly joined him, I kept questioning myself " have I fallen into the category of girls that would do anything for Nate?" Why did I just lay on his bed? What was I thinking?  I prayed silently that something crazy doesn't happen. Then it did. " Good night Rya," he said as he moved closer to me and wrapped his arms around my
