Slowly looking up, I see Nathan shaking his head but not saying a word. I then quickly turn my head to look at Jade's reaction. She looks confused.

“You guys are being weird tonight,” she scoffs, flicking her hair back out of her eyes. “Shouldn’t you both be arguing about a video game or something by now!?”

“We don’t have to be playing video games all the time..!” I answer, standing up from the bed and swiftly moving towards the door.

Jade looks up at me and gives me a sarcastic smile.

Putting my hand on the door, I start closing it. Jade fights back at first, but I overpower her. Eventually, she gives in and lets out a long sigh.

“Dork!” she yells as I shut the door on her.

Brushing off my sisters and attitude, I turn the lock on my door. Then, looking back at Nathan with a nervous grin, I see he’s still staring at his feet.

“Sorry about that,” I say, moving back to sit next to him.

“I should go….,” Nathan then says, surprising me and making me instantly worried.

As I sit next to him on the bed, I put my hand on his shoulder. He looks up at me for a second before looking back down at the floor. His face is bright red!

“No, don’t…,” I plea, moving close to him. “What's the matter?”

He shuffles again and moves away.

“Nothings wrong,” he mumbles. “Just… feeling a little sick.”

“Need me to get you anything?” I ask, moving my hand that’s on his shoulder and running it through his thick black hair.

After a moment or two, he looks up at me and gently smiles. His sudden smile makes me feel a little more at ease.
