Truth about Nate Jacobs

For the past couple of days since Maddy's call she's been acting different, almost like she was hiding something. And I was desperate to find out what it was.
"Y/n?" Fez asked as we sat in his store but I wasn't paying any attention. "Y/n. Yo"

"What?" I finally zoned back into the conversation.

"What's up with you lately being all weird and shit"

"I'm just thinking about Maddy" I sighed getting down off of the counter where I was previously sitting. He looked down at me with his eyebrow raised as though he was asking why. "She's hiding something and I don't know what it is" then I got an idea. I looked up at him with hopeful eyes giving him a hug.

"Can I borrow your car?" I gave him my best puppy dog eyes as he sighed looking down "please"

"Why?"

"To follow Maddy" I said in a duh tone as though the idea was obvious.

"You're crazy" He smirked.

"Am not"

"You're out here stalking people"

"It's not stalking I'm just... following"

"Without her knowing"

"Can I borrow your car or not?"

"Im coming with you"

"You're out here stalking people with your girlfriend" I giggled. It was time to close the shop so I decided to call Maddy before I did anything.

"Hello?" She answered her phone almost immediately. Maybe I was just thinking too much into it.

"Hey. Are you doing anything?" I asked biting my lip as Fez went round tidying the store.

"Like right now?" I hummed in response and she took a while to answer. "Well I'm kinda busy" she stuttered.

"Oh ok. I'll just call tomorrow" I put my phone in my pocket. "We're going now" I got into the car and Fez set off to Maddy's.

"Her car is still there" Fez gestured to the car looking over at me but then her lights went on. She was going somewhere. At this time, where could she possibly be going?

"We'll go on then" we started driving behind her but not too closely as we didn't want to be caught. She drove for a while until pulling up outside a motel. What the fuck is she doing at a motel? This definitely isn't somewhere Maddy would choose to stay. "What. The. Fuck." I whispered to myself as she walked up the stairs and knocked on the door.

"Who is that?" Fez asked when a tall figure opened the door letting Maddy in. SHES SEEING NATE? After what he did to her how could she. I don't get why she can't see Nate for who he really is and it made me angry. Furious in fact.

"Nate Jacobs" I gritted my teeth.

The next day
"She's still seeing him?" Rue asked as I inhaled the smoke from the blunt I had just rolled. I called Rue round to see me after finding out that Maddy was sneaking around with Nate last night.

"Mhmm and after what he's done" I gritted my teeth again. To think that he's gotten away with so much makes me sick. "To Maddy and me" I whispered the last part. I hadn't told anyone about what Nate done to me that time in his car mainly because I didn't want to believe it myself. It made me itchy when I thought of his hands on me.

"To you?" Rue turned to me with her eyebrows knitted together in confusion. "Y/n what has he done?" She pressed me for answers so I decided that I'd actually tell someone. I needed to.

"Don't tell fez" I pleased and when she agreed I decided to tell her. "I stayed back at school one night and he offered me a lift" I took the last puff of my blunt before putting it out in the Ashtray. "I don't know why I took it but it was raining and I just needed to get home. I shouldn't have taken the lift" I shook my head turning to rue with my eyes watering. She put her arm around me for comfort as I finished the story. "He tried to... he. He touched me. He put his hand on my thigh and I tried to stop him I really did. He kept going up and I finally got him to pull over but he threatened me"

"Oh y/n you could have told me" she patted my hair down as I sobbed.

"I ran straight here and I tried to tell Fez but..."

"That's the night you took fentanyl" she pieced together the pieces in her head. "We need to stop Nate. I'm sure he has something over Jules and we need to find out what it is" I nodded in agreement. He has gotten away with too much.
