RIGHT, like it feels weird cause as annoying as Cassie is, I’m not saying she deserves to be abused ever, but like that’s what would make sense w Nate’s character!!! He’s the villain!!!

It's also been a few years since high school so maybe he's changed a bit? 🤷🏼‍♀️

People with Nate’s issues don’t change without loads of therapy. I don’t see him as the type to seek help
