Chapter Twenty-FourHellish≋"I hope that son of a bitch doesn't live to see another day. God, I wish I fucked him up some more, Christ sake I've never been this fucking angry.""Ezra," Jade's soft voice spoke in a calm manner. "Please, calm down. You're fuming and it's perfectly understandable but you put the kid in a hospital already. He could press charges.""Like hell, he'll press charges!" Ezra's voice was loud and angry as he snapped at Jade. "I already called the cops and reported what he fucking did and if they don't press charges I swear to God I will fuck him up much worse than we already did.""Ez, man," Charlie spoke softly, calmly. "Look, you roughed him up and we already reported him but there's nothing more we can do. Jade is right. The last thing we need right now is you being arrested."Ezra grunted in response but didn't say anything.It took me another five minutes after that until I was fully conscious and able to open my eyes. My eyes fluttered open and I blinked

Chapter Twenty-FiveOur Spot≋The next two days I stayed in my room avoiding everyone because I knew they were downstairs hoping I would come down.Charlie and Ezra had come to my room multiple times to see if I needed anything but I knew they were just trying to find an excuse to talk to me.I just... I felt so weird. My head was spinning; every time I would try to get my shit together and thoughts in order, I just couldn't stop flashbacks and things I did not want to think about from flooding my head.I felt disgusting in my own skin. I was mad and sad and so many things all at once.I just didn't want to talk to anyone because the pity and sorry and worried looks in all of their eyes made me want to squirm.They really thought this was the worst I have been through?Ha. That's funny.I just wanted to put up my rough exterior and forget about feelings all at once. If hadn't let my guard down and let myself feel pathetic and bad for ruining their plans by saying no I didn't want to

Chapter Twenty-SixLike Foxes≋"I hate to bring it up," Charlie spoke up, a sheepish look on his face. We were all sitting in the cafeteria as it was lunch. "But with the game being this Friday, there is no way the Herbrooke guys are going to come in here all civil. They're going to want bloodshed and tears - as intense as that sounds.""What are you saying?" Luke asked, his eyebrows pulled together in confusion.I guess it was safe to say that the Herbrooke guys would be mad - more mad than usual. Because we reported Taylor, they lost one of their players. Because of the rivalry, they were going to make this even more personal and come looking for a rough fight."They're going to want to start as much drama as they can." Charlie explained. "Being realistic, they're going to be looking for a fight. Even if Taylor dug his own grave, which he did, those guys aren't going to play easy.""I'm confused," Jade mumbled."They would play rough either way," Noah stated. "But even if they step

Chapter Twenty-SevenKeep An Eye Out≋Friday came along faster than I expected. That meant it was game day.I couldn't help but feel a bit anxious as I thought about the Herbrooke boys visiting our school. After everything I had heard about them along with witnessed from one of them, I had a feeling something bad was going to happen tonight.I decided I wasn't going to go to the game.With my bad luck, it was bound for something bad to break out and the last thing I needed was one of our boys getting into another fight because of me.My plan was nearly a success.Keyword: nearly.Luke ended up making sure he didn't leave my side because he knew I was planning on dipping."You are officially my new good luck charm which means you have to come." He told me. "You can't sit out because of them, they won't hurt you. I promise, princess.""I'm not afraid they'll hurt me. I'm afraid one of you guys will get hurt because of me." I explained to him."Why would you cause us to get hurt?" Luke

Chapter Twenty-EightDid We Win The Game?≋I woke up in a familiar room.Right when I came into my senses I groaned, shutting my eyes again, tightly. I sucked in a deep breath as pain shot through my whole body. My whole upper body felt sore and weak and almost lifeless."Tiffany," Noah exhaled, coming over to his bed that I was laying on.I squinted my eyes open as I looked at him. His hair was a disheveled mess, concern all over his face. "Hey, Ace." The words came out in a weak croak. I grinned at Noah who couldn't look more like a worried, sobbing mess even though he wasn't sobbing.I wondered why the hell I was at Noah's house as I tried to sit up but failed when the pain shot through my all my limbs again."Woah, take it easy." He said softly but in panic at the same time. "Let me help." Noah put one of my arms around his shoulders as he gently lifted me up so I was in a sitting position. He put a pillow behind my back before taking a seat on the edge of the bed beside me.I sm

Chapter Twenty-NineA Little Hasty≋I stirred awake the next morning, shifting in the bed as my brain regained conciousness.I blinked a few times until I got into my senses. I looked up to see Noah who must've felt me move because a few seconds later his eyes fluttered open."Good morning, sunshine." He mumbled, a smile on his face. His voice was hoarse and groggy from sleep.I exhaled through my noes as I rested my head back down on his chest, not wanting the warmth and comfort to go away just yet. "Morning."Noah reached over to grab his phone from the bedside table. I couldn't see what he was doing since my head remained rested on his chest, my arm draped across his torso, but I could tell he was scrolling with his free arm since the other other was still wrapped around me.I shut my eyes, still sleepy.Noah exhaled deeply, continuing to do whatever on his phone, "Charlie, Luke, and Ezra headed back to your place this morning since we were still sleeping. Said we should meet them

Chapter ThirtyStreet Speeding and Killing a Bunch of People≋Just like I had expected, the group got into a conversation about what happened at the soccer game yesterday not too soon after Noah and I got to my place.Everyone was gathered in the basement, some of the boys playing video games while Joy and Jade were on Charlie's laptop on the Sephora website."Why would we let them get away with practically - sorry to say it like this, guy practically almost killing Tiffany?" Leo sputtered, looking between Noah and I like we were crazy.Luckily, I had Noah who was doing most of the talking for me. "Look man," Noah sighed. "I'll be straight with you guys. If we do anything to get back at them, they'll only come back with worse. Theoretically, what if they come back and hurt Tiffany again? I don't know about the rest of you but I for one much rather drop the revenge and let them feel like they won if that means Tiffany won't get hurt again."I ignored the concern Noah had for me when I

Chapter Thirty-OneBecause of What Happened≋"Heads up.""What?" I turned around to see Ezra walk up to me and lean against the locker beside mine. He crossed his arms over his chest and gave me an amused look."Cade. He wants to ask you out on a date."I slammed my locker shut and gave Ezra a baffled look, "What the hell are you talking about?"Ezra shrugged nonchalantly, "I'm telling you what I know. He's into you and wants to ask you out."My eyes widened and eyebrows furrowed, "Shut up. You're kidding."Ezra tilted his head, a smirk resting on his face. He was too amused and finding this more funny than I was - considering I didn't find it funny at all. "Nope. He actually came up to me and asked me if I thought it was a good idea.""I'm assuming he expects you keep your mouth shut," I mumbled knowingly, narrowing my eyes at Ezra.Ezra shrugged casually, "Yup, but since when do I listen to other people?""So you're not fucking with me right now?" I asked slowly. I knew he wasn't b

Chapter Forty-SevenLucky You?≋NoahI took both her hands in mine, my gaze not leaving hers for a second. "I'm in-love with you, Tiffany Vos.""You're what?" Tiffany's eyes widened and face contorted into a look of absolute disbelief.I smiled softly, "I'm in-love with you.""You are?" She muttered quietly, eyebrows furrowing together in confusion and shock. "Are you... sure?"A chuckle escaped my lips as I nodded my head firmly, "Yes, sunshine, I am positive. No doubt in my mind."Tiffany nodded slowly, her eyebrows still furrowed. She seemed to be in thought. "I'm not someone you would want to love, Noah."My smile slowly left my face. I hated that she thought so little of herself. "Yes, you are," I told her confidently. I raised one of my hands to cup her cheek, softly caressing her cheek with my thumb. "You are an amazing person whether you see it or not. You see everything you've been through as bad luck but I see it as struggles that you made it through and became stronger fro

Chapter Forty-SixIt's Their Dying, Not Yours≋Noah"I killed him.""Who?""The guy I was in love with." Tiffany gulped and looked away from me. I stayed silent, letting her talk.She clenched her jaw as she looked back to the water. She took a moment to collect herself before continuing to tell me what happened."When I started high school I was ready for a fresh start - to go back to the happy girl who played soccer and loved spending time with her family." She fiddled with her fingers as she spoke, clearly uneasy as she opened up the memories she had shoved away."It had been two years since my parents divorce, since Charlie and my dad moved away. Those two years were miserable." She chuckled dryly."My mom is a workaholic who spends all of her time at work, worrying about work and nothing else. It's her life, literally," she told me. "It's all she's ever cared about. She was the mother who forget her child's birthdays and wouldn't notice if I had been sleeping at my friend's hous

Chapter Forty-FiveI've Messed Up≋NoahI had to use my phone's flashlight to guide me through the forest since it was late and dark out.When I got to the opening and walked out to where the dock was, right away I noticed Tiffany. She was sitting with her legs crossed in her lap, staring out at the water.I exhaled a deep breath to keep my posture and calm before slowly walking up the dock and going to the end where Tiffany sat.The only light was from the moon along with a lamppost that was on the far left away from the dock so there wasn't much light out but enough to see the bare minimum you'd need to see."Everyone's looking for you, you know?" I said when I was standing a few feet behind her.I saw Tiffany's body tense when she heard and recognized my voice. Her body then relaxed and she stayed silent, ignoring me.My hands were starting to feel sweaty and clammy from the nervousness I felt. I took a seat beside her on the dock when she chose to not say anything to me.When I s

Chapter Forty-FourKnow You're Still Here≋Noah"She's not at school," Ezra said to Charlie, his voice low.I was grabbing my books for my first period class out of my locker with Luke and Jade leaning against the lockers beside mine when Ezra and Charlie walked down the hall, coming over to us."If she was planning on coming here she would've been here by now," Charlie responded to Ezra, a small frown on his lips."What's going on, babe?" Jade asked softly as Charlie came over and gave her a hug.Charlie shook his head softly, "Nothing," he gave Jade a reassuring smile but none of us were fooled."Are you sure?" Luke asked, narrowing his eyes. "Where's princess? Is that who you guys are talking about?"Charlie sighed while Ezra typed away on his phone, not paying attention to the rest of us."Yes," Charlie said firmly, his face straight and without much emotion. "She stayed home. Wasn't feeling good.""What happened?" Luke asked as his eyebrows pulled together, worry flooding throug

Chapter Forty-ThreeI Feel Like a Honey Bee≋The weekend after Noah disappeared for a while, he didn't come to school the following two days.When he did come back, things were just as they had been the past few weeks.Noah would be fine, laughing and talking to the others while him and I acted like we didn't even see the other person standing a foot away from us."You could just talk to him. Confront him, tell him to get over himself," Ezra muttered dully, shrugging.It was Friday now. I couldn't stand to be stuck in the cafeteria having to see Noah because it made my stomach twist and chest feel like there were bricks lying on top of it.Ezra came through in the hallway with me. The two of us sat on the ground with our legs stretched in front of us and backs leaned against lockers.I refrained from rolling my eyes, "Raz, he's made it more than clear I'm not welcome in his life.""Then maybe you should get over yourself and let yourself be with the guy," Ezra chuckled, shaking his h

Chapter Forty-TwoLot of Hurt Going on≋Luke and I got to Noah's house after the others since we had left later.When we got there, my dad, Noah's parents and brothers along with the rest of the friend group where all sitting around in the family room.Noah's mom looked drained out and exhausted as she sat on the couch and rubbed her hands in anticipation."What's going on?" Luke said as soon as we had walked into the room.Cade shrugged as he stood up and shoved his hands in his jogger's pockets, "Nothing, really. Noah's upstairs in his room but won't talk to anyone - at all.""How are you doing, Mrs.Coates?" I asked softly as I walked over to where she was sitting and stood beside my dad. He wrapped an arm around me and gave my shoulder a reassuring squeeze.She gave me a small and sad smile, "I'm okay, dear. I'm just glad Noah's safe."I smiled lightly and nodded, "So am I.""Princess," Luke said softly as he came over and placed a hand on my shoulder.I stepped away from my dad a

Chapter Forty-OneCosmic Force≋Three weeks had gone by and it was radio silence between Noah and I.As much as it agitated me that this is what it was like now, I wasn't going to do anything about it because Noah had made no effort to talk to me either and I was no the type of person who was going to change for some guy and go confess my deeply shoved down feelings for him so we could end up happily ever after.All the points have been established.This was for the best.I may miss him and want to hang out with him, I may also hate seeing him everyday, I may hate the questions arose from everyone in the group, I may hate that he laughs at Amy's stupid jokes and stories but I was a much stronger person than this and am frankly, very good at keeping a guard up - even if that meant coming off as a stone-cold, heartless person with no feelings and emotions.Three weeks and I was starting to get used to Noah and I being on these weird and unfriendly terms.It's easier sitting behind him

Chapter FortyQuite Fine≋Noah and I hadn't been talking at all and Luke caught on."Okay, seriously, what is going on with you two?" Luke stood in front of me with his arms crossed, blocking my path and not allowing me to take a step away from my locker."Luke-""No," he cut me off firmly. "Noah won't say anything and you've been avoiding me too. What happened with you guys?"I kept a blank face on as I pushed past Luke and started walking down the hall, "Nothing happened."Luke easily fell into step beside me and started walking with me. He scoffed, "That a lie and a half! I figure you'd at least try to be a little convincing, princess."Speaking through my gritted teeth with annoyance, "Go ask Noah. I don't know or care."After the argument Noah and I had, it was clear on both sides that neither of us were in any mood to talk it out or talk at all, really.Luke sighed in defeat, "He won't speak about it.""What makes you think I will?"

Chapter Thirty-NineGood Morning to You Too≋I blinked a few times to adjust my sight to the sunlight that was beaming through my room in the morning. My eyes still slightly droopy, I looked over to spot Noah.He was lying on his side with his head resting on his arm that was bent so his elbow was sticking outwards. He was looking me, eyes also droopy and a soft and lax smile on his face as he looked at me.I groaned as I turned so I was also lying on my side and facing Noah, "Watching me sleep, Ace? Not creepy or uncomfortable at all."A soft chuckle left his lips, his eyes lit with amusement, "I was taking in how peaceful it is when you're asleep - no annoyance or glum responses from you."I rolled my eyes, a small grin on my lips as I looked at him, "I can't see or hear you when I'm asleep, of course I wouldn't be annoyed."Noah grinned, not offended but rather more amused by my comment, "I don't think I annoy you. I think you like having me around but you won't admit it."I narro
