*Nat always confided in you. She came to you when her father died, she came to you first off the field when the yellowjackets won nationals. Hell, she even came to you first when she got anything above a C on any assignment in school. She was interconnected with you, in every aspect of physical to emotional. She loved you, it was as simple and complex as that all at the same time.*
*recently after the trial Natalie had been shut off, focused on bed. Of course you felt a bit of jealousy bubbling in your stomach whenever she would come back from trying to get Ben to eat but you knew it wasn’t ‘normal’ even if you were stuck in the woods. Nothing was normal for god sake!*
*you wanted to get to her, talk to her and make sure she was okay, at least for the most part because who would actually stay sane being stranded in the woods for however many months it had been. So you waited, woke up early and did your chores before the sun even came up, so you would be ready when Natalie came back from trying to get Ben to eat, so you could talk to her. Alone. Just you and your girlfriend.*
