Nathaniel Lerman

[nathaniellerman]

Nate was sitting at the bar nursing his third drink of the night when he heard a familiar voice. Celine. Not the person he wanted to see him in this state. If she still had a cruse on him he was sure seeing him like this was going to rid her of it. But lately drinking was the only thing that made helped him cope. He'd been ignoring calls from his parents and he couldn't help but wonder if maybe the families had been the ones to send Celine looking for him. This hole in the wall was one of the last places he'd ever expect to find her. "What's a girl like you doing in a place like this?" He turned to look at her as she took a seat on the stool next to him. @celine-hynes

Nate stormed into the house flinging the door open. He knew she was following him but he didn't care to be a gentlemen at this point and hold it for her. He ignored her pleading and headed to the bedroom they once shared and grabbed a suitcase from under the bed. Finally hearing enough he turned to her, "You love me? That's hilarious Luna. If you loved me so damn much why did you sleep with him? I've been in love with you since we were kids I've given you everything and you made me look like a fool in front of everyone we know. That's not love." Turning away he started pulling his clothes out of the closet and dresser and tossing them in the suitcase. He felt a twinge of annoyance thinking of all the damage he was doing to them by not folding them properly but he needed to get out of here.

There it was and suddenly it felt like a huge weight was lifted off his shoulders. Shaking his head he headed back to the bedroom. "I've always been honest with myself. I do want the fairytale romance and that's never been a secret. The difference between us Luna is I never would have you in this position. My whole life there's only ever been you. You can't say the same." He took a step back and grabbed his bags, You ended this Luna. The second you jumped into bed with someone else. You do not get to put this on me. I have never done anything to make you doubt me. There's nothing left to be honest about. I'm not the one who needs fixing. You are."

"Love should mean not needing a second chance not for this. If you loved me this never would have happened." He finished packing his stuff and turned to her. Every instinct he had wanted to comfort her and it killed him that he couldn't. But she had done this to herself. To them. "I don't want to. That's not who I am and you know it. Love should be freely given not taken by force. Love is based on trust and I can't trust you anymore. I can't trust you ever again." He hated that he felt like the bad guy in this. He wasn't the bad guy. She had done this and yet he was the one dying. Would it have been easier if she had just let him go? Or maybe that would hurt even worse. "You should have thought about before you did what you did."

Luna shook her head, desperately trying to rid of some of the tears on her cheeks with the back of her hand. Watching him pack his suitcase, she sobbed harder. "I don't know why... I was bored and stupid and took you for granted... There's never going to be a good enough reason for me to do that to you. I'm so sorry. Please tell me there's something I can do to fix it." She reached for his arm, desperate to hold onto the man she thought she'd spend the rest of her life with. "I'll do anything you want."

[nathaniellerman]

Nate ripped his arm from her grasp and zipped up his suitcase. "What I want is for you to never have cheated on me. With my best friend no less. Not even some random guy but you had to have him. Because cheating wasn't bad enough." He grabbed the suitcase and set it on the ground before grabbing a duffel and heading to the bathroom. "You don't get to be the one upset. You're the one who ruined everything. I was prepared to spend the rest of my life with you. Joke's on me though."

“Nate, please forgive me-“ Luna choked out between stifled sobs that rattled in her chest. She felt absolutely disgusting and completely mortified. Why did it happen in front of everyone? But, of course, she deserved it. “I can’t believe I hurt you like this and I know you don’t believe me. But, that was never what I wanted.” She followed him closely as he stomped into the home they’d shared for the past three years. “I love you so much. I’ve always loved you.” // @nathaniellerman

[text-Luna] I'm glad you understand my reasoning for not thinking of children being at a park. Thank you.

[text] The bed of your truck sounds like the perfect spot. 😘 I can't wait.

[text] I'll pick you up in 20.

[nathaniellerman]

[text-Luna] I don't know... I just thought it might be hot for you to have me in a park.

[text] Nevermind. I just remembered that children would probably be around. Disgusting. No. Fuck me in an elevator or just anywhere you want to, honestly.

[Text] I hope there's not children around that late at night. But I was more thinking the bed of my truck.

[nathaniellerman]

[text-Luna] Nothing?! Not even underwear? ;P

[Text] I'm a gentleman but if that's what you prefer who am I to argue.

[nathaniellerman]

[text-Luna] Oooh I’m intrigued! Sounds fun to me. Anything else I should bring besides myself in a cute sundress? 😘

[Text] Nope. I'll take care of everything.

[nathaniellerman]

[text-Luna] Surprise me. 😘

[text] But, please give me an attire warning..

[Text] Hmm Park attire. Something comfortable.

[nathaniellerman]

[text-Luna] It’s fine! You’re a busy boy. ☺️ Wanna do something tonight? I thought dinner and a movie would be fun.

[Text] I can make that happen. Anywhere you want to eat in particular.

[nathaniellerman]

[text-Luna] Hey you! 😘 You were asleep for so long!

[Text] Sorry I guess I was tired.

[nathaniellerman]

[text-Luna] you awake?

[Text] I am now
