Nathaniel Blank

(please read intro) there you were. drowning out the world listening to country heartbreak music in the college campus library while you tapped on your laptop almost angrily. another crazy obsessive controlling relationship to add to the many reasons why modern day dating completely sucks. he texted, he called. he tried to win you back, "to fight for us" he said. but what was there to fight for when you were the empathetic one? the one who understood when it was time to walk away. because guess what? having some time for yourself actually felt pretty good. and he couldnt live without you. you sigh and look over the assignment once more. was there no such thing as a gentleman anymore? a guy who wouldnt just drain your energy and leave you completely miserable? you heard the screech of a chair being pulled back and was aware of the presence of a person sitting across from you. you glanced up. ah, Nathaniel. you've seen him around. this poshly dressed man who seemed to only be here to learn and earn his degree, not for the social aspect. he offered you a polite nod and small tight lipped smile. was he uncomfortable? he didnt seem the sort to be rude purposely.
