Chapter 20

I stood there quietly waiting for Noah to say something. It was quiet cold outside and we were still standing near his car. I was getting really frustrated. “Noah please just say it.” I said walking around and standing in front of him.

He looked at me worriedly. I just hope that I don’t break down in front of him. “Its...err…Cassie dumped me.” He mumbled looking at his feet sadly.

“Are you ok? What happened?” I asked. I can’t believe this she dumped him. She didn’t deserve him anyway I am glad that they broke up but Noah he looks sad.

“I don’t want you to know.” He mumbled again. What does he mean? I won’t think any bad about him maybe about Cassie but definitely not about him.

“Tell me, Noah. Please” I said pleadingly. Now I get it, he went to see her after lunch today and skipped school. Why doesn’t he want me to know?

He shook his head and looked at me then sighed. “Cassie thought I was cheating on her so she slept with someone else. She called me a liar, cheater and a man-whore.” He said sadly.

Who the hell does she think she is? How dare she talk to Noah that way? He looked so hurt and sad I was feeling like kicking Cassie’s ass. “Let’s go inside. Forget it.” He said taking my hand and looking at me pleadingly.

I would never say no to him. I can’t stand to see him like this, he is always so cheerful. I let him pull me in the house. The party was on in a full swing. We went to the bar and got ourselves a drink. I stuck with my coke while Noah took vodka. He is just trying to forget everything and get wasted.

We walked over to the corner where all our friends were standing. No one seems to notice that Cassie is missing; its good all of them hated her. All of us spent time talking and joking around. Rachel went away with a guy and Amber and Liam disappeared in one of the rooms. In sometime Noah, I and Will were left alone.

“Let’s dance.” Will said tugging me towards the dance floor. I couldn’t say no to him. He has been really supportive and understanding for past few days.

I kept my eyes on Noah’s every move. I am going home with him tonight maybe I should ask him to let me drive. By the looks of it Noah was getting wasted tonight. I didn’t like drunken Noah a lot; he was a lot of work. Will pulled me closer to him and I wrapped my arms around his neck leaving space between us.

Will was saying silly things in my ear making me laugh. I saw Noah glare at me and then walk to the stairs. I saw a girl with blonde hair sticking to the guy next to her. Shit, that is Cassie. I need to keep Noah away from her. I pulled out of Will’s hold, “I got to go.” I said and walked to Noah as quickly as possible.

By the time I reached, Noah and Cassie were standing right in front of each other. I should take Noah away; I reached to his side and took his hand. Cassie smirked at me. “Noah lets go.” I said quietly tugging him but he didn’t move.

“What are you doing here?” Noah hissed through his teeth. Cassie is such a bitch; she knew we were coming to this party. I feel like stabbing her.

She frowned and pointed to a room behind her and started walking towards it with that guy. Noah held my hand tightly as if afraid to let go and pulled me with him to the room. We went in and Cassie flicked the lights on. She doesn’t even look upset and hurt, didn’t they just break up?

“Say what you have to here. I can’t believe you were going to create a scene in front of everyone.” She said throwing her arms in the air dramatically.

“Noah please let’s just leave.” I said softly so only he could hear. He looked at me and shook his head fiercely. I wish he would agree to me just once without arguing.

Noah took a step forward glaring at the guy with Cassie. “Is he the one?” Noah said angrily pointing at that guy. The one? What’s that supposed to mean? I am confused.

“It’s none of your business but yes.” Cassie replied calmly.

Noah clenched his fists tight. He is so angry, I just want him to calm down but what can I do? I stepped forward and placed my hand on his fist. He relaxed a little but not completely. “You cheated on me with this jerk?” Noah said. He was scaring me but I know he will never hurt me.

Cassie just glared “He is not a jerk. His name is Brendon.” She replied. I can’t believe she is justifying her actions. How can anyone be this pathetic?

“How could you?” Noah spat taking another step forward. I tugged his hand making him stop from going any further. I don’t think they had their showdown earlier. They both have a lot of capacity to fight with each other; I have seen it more than once.

“I told you didn’t I? You are a cheating man-whore. You cheated on me more than once with her.” Cassie said pointing at me angrily.

I stiffened. She thinks Noah was cheating on her with me. Why would she assume something like that?    “Whoa, he didn’t cheat on you with me.” I said easily trying to calm her down.

She looked at me for the first time since we walked into this room. “I am not stupid. Anyways who asked you emo freak.” She snapped at me.

Emu freak? She is just stupid. “Enough Cassie, I won’t hear a word about her. Do you understand?” He asked. She flinched and took a step back.

“See, your this friendship is something more. It’s just unnatural. He always thinks and always thought about you before me. I was his girlfriend.” She said angrily.

I can understand she felt jealous but that didn’t give her a right to cheat on him. She cheated on him assuming he was doing the same. That is just wrong. “Ok, I get it. You could have asked him or me before assuming and cheating on him.” I said.

She was quite for a moment. Neither one of us spoke. It was starting to get awkward. “Don’t blame me. You sabotaged our relationship, you stole my boyfriend. You just look innocent but you are such a bitch. If I didn’t get him neither will you.” She shouted making me flinch.

I was the reason for their break up. I wanted him to be happy but I couldn’t do it. I am such a bad friend. Cassie is right, I should have told Noah to choose her and cut me out. I didn’t I was selfish, I just thought that I needed him. Maybe he needed Cassie. “I am sorry.” I was managed to say.

Noah turned around “What? You have nothing to be sorry about.” He said sweetly wiping away the tears from my cheeks. I am crying again so pathetic.

“She has everything to be sorry about. Noah you are no less. You a cheater, a man-whore and useless. You used me and you are going to end up alone in life sad and unhappy. Why don’t you just kill yourself right now? And save all of use. You are nothing, you are worthless.” She said.

My head snapped at her. What the hell does she think about herself? Noah looked sad and hurt by her words ok, that’s it.

“Just shut up. How dare you talk to him like that? He won’t end up sad and unhappy that will be you. You never deserved him, you worthless bitch. You cheated on him and you are blaming him for it. Can you get cheaper? If I see you around any of us again even in school I am going to break your fake nose. I have never seen such a bitch like you. Get lost or I will break your nose right now.” I said angrily taking a stepped forward.

She flinched and took another step back. “Now apologize to him and leave this party right now.” I said politely this time. At least I thought that was polite.

“I am sorry.” She said to Noah and left the room quietly without saying another word.

I never felt so better. I didn’t usually get this angry but she just got under my skin. This anger was actually building inside me since the first time I saw her, it felt good to finally get it all out. I sighed like a burden had been removed of my chest.

Noah was looking at me proudly and slightly amused. I have never in my life shouted on someone like this not even my cousins or friends. “Let’s go back.” I said taking his hand and walking out of the room like nothing had happened.

Liam, Amber, Will and Rachel were standing in a corner. Will looked up at me sad and they turned his head in another direction. What is wrong with him? I think he is angry because I left him like that. I will talk to him later and explain everything, he will understand me then.

“What were you guys doing in that room?” Rachel asked curiously.

I just shrugged and they all looked at us really confused. “Nothing, I wanted to use the washroom.” I lied easily. I don’t think Noah told anyone about his break up with Cassie. If that’s what he wants then I tend to keep it that way.

“What about you Noah?” Liam asked him grinning from ear to ear.

Oh, they think we were doing something in the room. They are so stupid, we are only friends. Not that I would mind if anything happens but Noah will. “Guys nothing happened, seriously.” I said sternly and they all just nodded.

“I need a drink.” I said turning to walk towards the kitchen.

“Alcoholic drink?” Liam asked shocked and confused. I shook my head and went to the kitchen with Noah following me closely behind.

“Thanks. I don’t want them to know about Cassie. No one even noticed she is not with me.” He said smiling and throwing an arm around my shoulder.

“I guessed it; they didn’t like her very much.” I said and handed him his drink. He had now moved onto orange juice instead of vodka which I was grateful for. At least he won’t be totally wasted.

The rest of the night was actually fun. We danced and chatted happily. Rosie and Sarah even participated in one of the drinking games. It was fun to watch them; they were completely wasted by the end of the night. Noah was trying his best to enjoy but he looked sad and hurt. I never want to see this look on his face again; it was making my heart throb painfully. If I ever see Cassie near him again I am so going to kick her ass.

“Can we go home?” Noah asked. I checked my mobile, it was almost midnight. I nodded and said bye to the guys. We even have school tomorrow so it’s better to go home early.

We made our way to Noah’s house. He didn’t speak the whole way, it was not awkward just a little quiet than normal. I busted out on Cassie in front of him, he looked shocked. Today has been the most dramatic day of my life. I am so tired I just want to go to sleep with Noah’s arms wrapped around me. I was looking forward to this for the whole day. I had not spent the night with him for almost three weeks since he started dating Cassie.

I started getting irritated by mere the thought of her. If I ever see her again she is going to be dead meat. Noah stopped the car and opened my door for him. I let him help me get out of the car, he even took the bag from backseat and we went inside. “I will be right up.” Noah said and went to the kitchen.

I entered Noah’s room and walked straight into the bathroom to get changed. I removed my night shorts from the bag but could find my top. Shit, now what? I went back to the room and grabbed one of Noah’s t-shirt which was kept on the back of a chair. I brushed my teeth and got changed quickly. I don’t know why but I was feeling a little nervous, my stomach was in knots.

I plopped on the bed and the same moment Noah entered the room. “Hey” He said stripping down to his boxers. God, he is so hot, it’s unreal.

“I borrowed your t-shirt, I hope you don’t mind.” I asked biting my lip nervously.

“No, off course not.” He said as if I was crazy for even asking him anything. He lay on the bed next to me and took my hand. He was drawing circles on the back of hand making me even more nervous.

We just stayed like that for a while holding each other hands. Even though nothing was said I was blissfully happy in Noah’s company and I think he felt the same way. He tugged my hand and pulled me to him. I laid my head on his chest listening to his heartbeats and he wrapped his arms around me. I was sensing that he wanted to say something but I didn’t want to push him. He then sighed and took a deep breath. I moved my head a little back so I could see his face.

“Can I ask you something?” He said looking at me intently. I nodded telling him to proceed but he didn’t say anything.

“I don’t feel bad that Cassie broke up with me.” He said quietly.

“But?” I asked him. I knew there was a but just by the way he said he didn’t feel bad.

“It’s just I felt bad about the things she said to me. It should hurt right? Break ups are difficult and painful, aren’t they? He asked.

I shrugged, “I guess.” I said. I have never been in a relationship before so I have no idea about this stuff. If two people really care and like each other then the break is hard on both.

“But I am not hurt. I am fine. I just didn’t like the things she said to me but I didn’t really care that we broke up.” He said looking confused.

“I don’t think I even liked her very much. I don’t know is it making any sense?” He asked me frowning.

“Yeah it is. Maybe you guys didn’t have a good connection. You both wanted different things.” I said easily.

Noah just nodded and started staring at the ceiling. Suddenly he rolled me under him and was hovering above me still managing to keep his weight off me somehow. “We hardly ever talked properly. It was more of physical. I never noticed that she is such a bitch until today.” He said.

“I am sorry for the way she behaved. It was all my fault.” He said looking away from my eyes.

“None of it was your fault, don’t be silly. I don’t care what she said, I hate her.” I simply said. He just smiled at me. His whole face beams when he smiles like this.

I was very aware that he was still on top of me and our faces were mere inches away. I saw him look at my lips then into my eyes. I didn’t complain because I was doing the same thing. I wanted to kiss him but I am not brave enough to take the initiative. He bent down slowly giving me time to pull away no way that was happening.

Noah kissed my lips softly and pulled away. My whole body was tingling and I had butterflies in my stomach. He looked at me intently waiting for me to freak out or something. He brushed my hair off my forehead and crashed his lips to mine. I tangled my hands in his hair pulling him even closer to me and he moaned in the back of his throat. The kiss was hot yet tender and soft.

He licked my bottom lip asking for entrance and I gladly opened for him. He is such a good kisser, I could kiss him forever. His hands were roaming all over my body. He pulled away and we both were panting. He started kissing down my neck lifting my top slightly. I didn’t stop him; I didn’t want him to stop. He pulled the t-shirt over my head and threw it on the floor.

I gripped my hand in his hair and guided his mouth back to mine. This was my first kiss and it was with Noah. We both pulled away panting for breath. He then laid down next to me pulling me to him. I was so happy I could die in this moment and be happiest person. Does this mean we are now more than friends? I hope so.

I never made out with anyone before hell; I didn’t even give any boy a simple peck on his lips. I snuggled closer to Noah and sighed happily. I hope this is the beginning of something new. I closed my eyes and drifted off to sleep listening to Noah’s heartbeats.

I hope you liked it.
