All Chapters of The Deal With Him: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Hailey/ Four months ago /I got to say, watching Nate getting arrested wasn't at all how I expected tonight to go and waiting in the police station wasn't either how I planned to spend the next hours. I caught his phone when it dropped as he fight that guy. There was a lot of blood... mostly from that other boy's running nose, but Nate got himself a few good hits too.Just great.My butt'd begun to hurt from sitting here for this long and my legs are longing to stretch, but I feel like I need to wait here for him. Maybe because I was there, maybe because I felt bad... for whatever reason I didn't find it in me to leave yet.I'd been struggling between notifying my family or not, but in the end realized my mom would have freaked out if she got a call saying I was in the police station this late, even if it wasn't me the one arrested. So I just let it be. What she won't see, it won't hurt her... Even tho nerves had been eating me from the inside as I bounced my knee frantically and bit

NateSeth's angry/sleepy face came to view as soon as he finally opened the front door. "What?""Good morning you too." I chuckled, amused at how obviously hangovered he was as he groaned and stepped aside to let me in. His movements slow and dragged."What are you doing here so early?""Early?" I followed him to the living room and coughed another laugh when he instantly laid down. "It's practically midday.""It's also Saturday." he whined, picking the cereal box from the couch's feet and hugged it to his chest, eyes half closed as he eat them. "Since when you're up for shit one Saturday?" he swallowed heavily and snuggled closer in the couch.I rolled my eyes. I was in such a good mood right now and he won't bring me down with his laziness. "Whatever. Can I have some water?""Mh, you know where everything is. Make yourself home." and munched some more cereal.I laughed and circled the couch towards the small kitchen on the left. "When are your parents coming back?" I asked loudly se

HaileyOut of all the things I might have thought I'd be doing on a Saturday, doing the twins' cupcakes for the fair would have been at the bottom of the list. Well, more like a close second. Having Nate Herond here was certainly the most shocking about it all. After the week he'd given me, I didn't exactly felt like enjoying his presence, but I was running out of time. These desserts needed to be done before mom's meeting end and came by to pick up the twins. They'd be spending the night at some friends house and the farm would be all for me. Usually I hate being left alone here -the old place was too huge and creepy to be alone once it gets dark for my liking - but the fact that the girls were coming over later for a sleep over was what made me have some hope that the day could lighten up.It had been kinda uncomfortable... unsettling at least. Because it was pretty obvious he felt pity for me. Maybe he still believed I was a lost cause, lame and boring that got my heart broken onc

Hailey"Go fish." Vickie snapped her gaze up at Kevin's retort narrowing it. The asian guy smiled wider, his eyes stretched into two thin lines. "Go fish, Vickie. Again."She inspected her cards once more, looking down at the table and back to the cards before lowering them with an exaggerated sighed of frustration that humored us further."You're cheating." she accused through clenched teeth, picking a card."We're not. It's not our fault you suck at this."Her face reddened almost as her hair. "This game sucks.""Come on," I coughed in my fist to cover my laugh -not all of us were this discreet. "Everyone loves it.""Not me!""Because you suck at it." shrugged Taylor and Kevin nudged her lightly as Oliver almost rolled on the floor from laughing.Nate had this amused smirk as well, but his eyes were focused on his own cards, hard, as if it was a tricky question. It made sense once you know he'd never played it before and the previous games had been us basically teaching him. He'd ge

Hailey"-Yeah, so that was pretty much it. You know how sensible Ted is." my mother finished their little odyssey from yesterday. Even through the phone I could tell she was rolling her eyes. "However. How was the girl night there? Was it fun?""Very." I nodded, changing my phone to my left ear and holding it there with my shoulder as I took what I needed to make hot chocolate. "In the end the boys came as well, so we kinda have a party, you know? Alcohol, drugs and I believe at some point someone called the night ladies cause there are a couple of them passed out in our-""Ha ha, really funny." again, I could predict her facial expression just by her severe tone: ten dollars she was narrowing her eyes.I smiled, but cleared my throat to keep a slightly worried tone as I started the microwave and turned to lean against the counter. "Funny? Oh mother, how can you be so insensitive? Some girl's life could be in danger!""Your life will be in danger pretty soon."I laughed. "Fair enough.
