Extra bonus chapter 2: May and Noah (part 2)

Extra bonus chapter 2: May and Noah part 2: Crazy

~May's POV~

"Are you guys here...together?" Noah asks looking at me with an upset look on his face.

He's the one who's upset? Come on Noah who are you kidding right now?

"Tess is here too" I mumble.

"Oh" Noah replies.

"Yeah, in fact she's taking a bit too long in the bathroom, I'll go see if everything's okay" I say, trying to avoid Noah's gaze.

Honestly? I didn't really feel like seeing him. As much as I hate admitting it, things are awkward between us now but in my defense, it's hard to stay close to the guy you really like without being able to express what you feel, it's so hard.

~Noah's POV~

"Would you mind if I go take a look at the ring toss game?" Becca asks.

"Sure, go ahead" I reply, my eyes still fixed on Ricky.

Don't judge me, he's one of my best friends, and I guess it's weird seeing him around May, it just makes me feel....Jealous?

"You didn't tell me you were going to be here" I tell Ricky sitting next to him.

"I didn't think I had to. Besides, you didn't tell me you were gonna be here either. With Becca none the less, like what the hell bro?" He asks getting slightly angry.

"What are you talking about? What's wrong with that?" I ask genuinely.

"You're here with Becca, alone. Noah, you know she likes you" Ricky says as he lets out a frustrated sigh.

"You didn't tell May did you?" I ask, getting slightly afraid of the answer.

"No bro, of course not. I didn't want to hurt her, and I figured you wouldn't want me to tell her." He replies.

I suddenly feel really bad for him.

He had become one of May's best friends when we were still together, and once we broke up, he never chose between us. That's what I admire most about him, he's such a good friend and he never betrays anybody's trust.

"Look man, she asked me to come with her. I didn't know that it was going to be just us, I thought she invited the others as well and when I found out she didn't, I didn't want to be rude and leave." I reply honestly.

"Either way No, May saw you and it upset her. Of course it did, amusement parks were your thing. It's where you had your first date, where you had your first kiss, heck bro this was the place where you realized you were in love with the girl" He replies.

He's right, especially about that last part.

"I didn't know she was going to be here okay?" I reply.

"Bro, just tell her that you still like her. You're both hurting, neither of you have that vibe you used to have before." He says.

"It's not that easy. I hurt her, I held her back from her studies. She's doing so much better in school now, it's important to her man" I say.

Something that Ethan and I both have in common? Not wanting to hold anyone back.

But how come am I so good at giving him advice but when it comes to my life I'm a mess?

"You're impossible" Ricky replies.

"We're gonna go on a rollercoaster, are you guys coming?" Tess says, coming up to us with May trailing behind her, still not meeting my gaze.

God May looks so beautiful. Every day that goes by I just miss her even more, she used to be the ray of sunshine in my life, and now, everything is dull. Without her smile. Without her laugh.

Without her love.

*******

~May's POV~

Thanks to Tess, I'm a lot calmer now. She somehow found a way to convince me to let Noah hang out with us, along with Becca.

I didn't understand at first but then I realized what she meant. Letting them hang with us meant that they weren't hanging out alone, something that clearly didn't please Becca that much, and who am I kidding? It hurts every time I see him but honestly, I love seeing him.

"Your shirt is so cute Tess, where'd you get it?" Becca asks Tess, breaking my train of thought.

"May got it for me. She's an amazing friend I guess" She says smiling at me and linking her arm with mine.

Have I mentioned how much I love her?

"Cute" Becca answers, sending a small smile.

"Are you sure you're okay with this?" Ricky asks softly after he comes up to me.

"Yeah, I can't keep avoiding him forever, besides this is better than having him alone with Becca...At an amusement park" I say, sadness flooding over me at the last part.

"I'm here for you okay? Always" He smiles.

"Thanks Ricky, I really appreciate it" I say, giving him a hug.

"If looks could kill right now, I'd be so dead" He says motioning towards Noah.

I look back, and clearly enough, he was looking, even if he tried to shift his gaze so I don't realize he was.

Not so fun when tables turn is it Noah?

********

"Tess, are you not tired yet?" I ask as we make our way towards our 7th ride.

"No, are you?" She answers.

"Yes." Ricky, Noah, Becca and I all answer at the same time.

"You guys are so not fun" She pouts.

"Tell you what, you go on this ride, but it's your last one. We'll wait for you on this bench right here and we'll be here once you're done" I reply.

"I don't want to go on the ride alone though" She whines.

"Okay, then let's go home, because I'm positive I can't go on another ride without barfing" Ricky replies.

"I second that" I reply laughing.

"Fine, but you guys better be here when I get back" She huffs.

"Cross my heart and swear to die" I reply.

"I hate you so much" She replies, glaring at me.

"Love you too babe" I say sending her an air kiss.

"Let's sit!" I say as I make my way towards the closest bench.

"That girl sure is something" Ricky says, sitting next to me, chuckling as he just looks straight ahead towards Tess.

I just find myself staring at him. Right there, right then, with that look, my suspicions are confirmed.

Ricky so likes Tess.

"What is it?" He asks chuckling, as he catches me staring at him.

"Nothing, you're just an amazing person Ricky, I would so approve" I say winking at him, making his face go red.

"Shut up" He says, gently pushing my shoulder.

"Your secret's safe with me, but for the record, I think the feeling's mutual" I say, sending him a smile which he instantly returns.

"You're amazing too May, really, you are" He says.

"I need to go for a walk" Noah says suddenly, already walking away.

"I'll come too" Becca says almost immediately, following him.

Didn't she just say how she was tired?

Ricky just looks at me and gives me a look that says 'Don't stress it'.

Feelings are so hard.

*******

"Pinch me May" Tess says as we enter our apartment.

"I don't have to, I can just confirm that it's real" I reply smiling, feeling happy for her.

"Ricky kissed me May. Do you understand?" She says, shaking her head in disbelief.

"You're welcome" I reply.

Small recap: Tess is my best friend. I knew she had a crush on Ricky, and then I found out Ricky likes her too and so I decided to be a good friend, by that I mean that before we went out of the amusement park, I pretended that I had forgotten something on the bench, mouthed 'ask her out' to Ricky, and just left them there, alone.

Yep, alone. Noah and Becca were no where to be found and so we left without them.

Not that it didn't hurt, but I didn't let them see how it effected me. I wanted that moment to be their moment.

And it was. As soon as I walked back up to them I see them sucking each other's faces off.

Disgusting, but sweet.

"He's such a great kisser" She says, still on cloud nine.

"I'm happy for you" I say honestly.

"You don't sound happy though" Tess says giving me a worried look. "Is it about Becca and Noah?" She asks, sitting down on my bed.

"Might be" I say.

"It'll be fine. I promise you that everything will turn out okay. Now just go to sleep and try not to think so much about him" She says as she slips in to her PJs  and lies down on her bed, falling asleep almost instantly.

So much for moral support, though I can't really blame her for being tired.

I lie down on my own bed, turning off the lights, and trying to sleep. Once I realize that I'm not getting any sleep I get up and walk towards the kitchenette to get myself a glass of water. As my lips are about to meet the glass I hear a knock at the door and after I place the glass on the table I go and open it.

As soon as I open the door I'm greeted by a pair of chocolate brown eyes and rosy red cheeks.

Noah.

"What the heck are you doing here?" I ask "And why are you soaking wet?" I say as I take in his drenched figure.

"It's raining outside" He simply replies.

"May, I need to talk to you. I'll go crazy if I don't" He says, giving me a serious look.

"Well I was about to go to sleep, what is it?" I ask, slightly curious of what he wants to say.

I can't deny the rate at which my heart is beating right now.

"I can't stand seeing you laughing with Ricky, May, in fact, I can't stand seeing you with any other guy that isn't me" He says, his eyes staring directly in to mine.

"Should I remind you that you also were at the amusement park, with Becca!" I point out.

"No, you don't get it. I can't stand seeing you with anyone, it drives me crazy May. Seeing you smile, seeing you laugh...But not with me. I can't stand it anymore. You drive me crazy May Anderson. Everything about you does, and I'm so crazily in love with you" He says, before his lips meet mine.

It takes me a minute to register what's actually happening, and as I do, I realize that Noah Walker is kissing me. And I'm kissing him back.

"You're mine you got that? I was so stupid May. Please forgive me" He says giving me a pleading look as he moves his hand towards his hair which had gotten stuck to his face due to the rain.

I don't say anything but instead I just crash my lips with his, my hands tangling in to his dark hair.

He's shocked at first but after a while he responds to my kiss quite as eagerly, making my head run wild, the passion and intensity of the kiss making me feel light headed, a feeling I thought I was never going to feel again. One of his hands reaches up to cup my cheek while placing the other on my waist, making my heart beat impossibly faster and sending an entire zoo running free in my stomach.

I've waited for this for so long, it almost seems unbelievable.

"I love you Noah Walker" I say through uneven breathing

"I love you too May Anderson" He replies, his lips meeting with mine once again.
