Married at 19

Chapter 5

We were playing perfectly and I was about to shoot the ball when I got distracted with the girls’

laughter from the bleachers across the court. The girls were none other than Sasha, Cecilia and the

Bella who really caught my attention.

I wasn’t sure why, but she really did catch my attention. Wait…she changed her hair style which

used to be long silky straight to a bit short wavy hair. She looks so nice though and really gorgeous.

"Owww...that's really hurt." I winced in pain as I got hurt from playing the basketball. I didn't notice

that my right shoe lace was loosen that cause me tripped when I tried to shoot the ball.

"Please don't move too much, Nathan." Bella, the bronze hair that has a pair of grey eyes quickly

examined my foot. But wait, when did she get here? Woahh…that was so fast.

"Is it broken?" I asked her while winced in pain.

She giggles, "No, Nathan. You just sprained your foot. It's not that bad, actually."

Woah...I really didn't notice that she giggle so cutely. It made my heart totally skipped a beat.

“Bella, if you won’t mind will you take him to the infirmary?” My coach asked for Bella’s help.

“Sure, I won’t mind,” she quickly replied. “Come Nathan, I’ll take you to the infirmary, before your

foot starts swollen,” she offers her hand so she could help me to stand on my feet.

"Thanks, Bella,” I accepted her offer and carefully put her arm around my waist and my left arm on

her shoulder.

"I-it's what a friend used for, Nathan," she gave me a cunning smile. "Besides, I'm really glad to

help you, actually." As I predicted, she is indeed really a nice girl and even made sure that I wasn’t hurt

more while heading there.

To be honest, I have never been so close to her before...and her scent, smells so nice, like a

flower...lavender to be exact and it does really suits with her, actually.

"Nathan," she snapped me out of my mind while were slowly heading to the infirmary.

"Y-yeah..." Oh, she was about my shoulder level when she stood beside me. That’s cute…

*laughs*…man what I’m thinking!

"Are you okay? Why are you so quiet all of sudden?" her voice once more snapped me out from

my weird thoughts.

I curve a smile for her, "N-no...nothing. I'm fine, actually."

She smiles back beautifully, "Okay, we are almost there..."

Seriously,already? I wish I could stop the time so I could be with her like this...eh...what am I

saying?' Are you crazy Nathan?

Don't you love Bel...I mean Sasha?

Arghh...this is so confusing...What is happening to me right now?

She helped me to get back to my dorm after the nurse at the infirmary gave me the proper

treatment. I really do owe her so much for helping me today. It was been 2 hours and since I got here

and my roommate still didn’t return yet. Maybe he went out dating with Sasha while I was laying here

with a sprain foot.

That was surely‘nice’!

My phone rang when I was about to play with my PS Vita and it was from my beautiful mom.

Me: Good evening, my lady.

My mom: *laugh* Good evening, darling. How's your day, Nathan?

Me: U-um...It's good actually.

My mom: Nathan...!

Me: What mom, I'm fine really.

My mom: Don't lie to me...I know you're lying to me. I know you too well, son.

Me: Fine...actually, I got hurt while training after class today. Sorry for lying to you, mom.

My mom: *gasp* What...poor my baby. Is it still hurt? Do you want me to come to see you right

now?

Me: Nooo...mom. This is the reason why I don't want to tell you, because you'll be panic all over

and do something stupid like this.

My mom: Son...

I think I just slip the tongue.

Me: *gulp* I'm sorry mom. Please don't come. It's already late, besides the injury wasn't so bad

after all. Bella already helped me to treat it.

My mom: Bella helped you?

Why did she sound excited when I mentioned Bella's name?

Me: Mom...please. She's just my friend...and I really in love with Sasha, nothing can change that.

My mom: *sigh* But I like her, Nathan. She's very kind and gentle too.

Me: Yeah, I know. But still, she's just my friend. Not more than that.

My mom: If you say so...oh before I forget, I want to tell you that your father and I will go to New

York this weekend. So you don't have to return home this week.

Me: New York? Oh man...I want to go there too. It's been a long time now since we went for our

holiday.

My mom: Nathan, we are not going for a holiday... your father has a meeting there. But I promise,

when we have time, we will take you for a holiday, anywhere you want to go.

Me: Promise?

My mom: I promise

Me: Alright...thanks mom.

My mom: Anything for my baby.

Me: *laugh* I love you mom. Say hi to dad okay?

My mom: I will. Love you too, son.

We both hung up the phone and the world suddenly became silent. I looked up at the ceiling with

my unpleasant feeling. I wasn’t sure why, but I feel so uneasy about them. I feel like, they want to go to

a place that is too far for me to follow.

It’s totally nonsense.

I'm really sure that they will never leave me alone here, because I know that they love me so

much...and I love them too.

I looked through my phone gallery, smiling alone while looking at my family pictures.

I felt so grateful to have parents like them. I admitted that they're the best parents in the world and

I love them so much.

“NO….MOM, DAD!” It was dark in here, I don’t know where currently I am but it was cold. Plus, I

heard my parents were screaming for my name as they were in scared or something. So that was why I

ended up screamed for them too. I walked slowly towards the small light, but my paces stopped as I

saw my parent’s figure right in front of me. They both were crying and I don’t know what happened until

a voice suddenly called for my name.

"Hey Nathan, wake up!”

“Mom….d-dad,” I tried to reach for my parents but the sudden pain on my forehead suddenly woke

me up from my sleep. “Wow that was really hurt, dude,”

“What were you dream about, dude, screaming like a girl like that?”

I sat on my bed while rubbing my forehead, “I don’t know man, but it was so weird.” Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

“Come on dude, that was just a dream,” he then threw me my towel right on my bed. “Go get

ready. See you in class…later.”
