usually, natalie would try to keep her anger and yelling to a minimum, because she knew how you’d react. you’d get overstimulated and start crying and be so upset and then she’d get angrier.. and it wouldn’t stop.

not that nat could control her anger, with her anger issues and what not, but she tried. for you. you made it better, really. being with you was like paradise for her.

until one night, you got into a huge fight with natalie. she complained that you’d been hanging out with jackie too much recently, and she thought you preferred jackie over herself. then, you argued that she’d been doing that exact same but with lottie. and then it all blew up.

soon enough, natalie started yelling about all the other things she thinks mess up the relationship. you hated hearing her yell, and tears prickled your eyes, threatening to spill.

natalie stopped pacing the room to look at you, then scoffed. “don’t fucking cry. you always fucking cry!”
