Chapter Thirty-EightWant Pop?≋The following Monday, Noah greeted me with a kiss on my cheek in the morning.Luckily, I was late to class and the halls were empty so nobody saw. I didn't have a chance to yell at him because he had skipped off before I could even process what happened.At lunch, he was on the opposite end of the table and spent the whole time leaned back in his seat, looking at me with a smirk on his face. I spent the whole lunch avoiding his gaze which was difficult because I could practically feel holes being burnt into my skin like lasers.Most of the group was coming over to my place so instead, Ezra and I dipped and decided to waste time at the movies and mall and wherever else we felt like bumming around.Tuesday, about the same thing happened. I dodged his kiss by avoiding eye contact and keeping a few feet of distance between us. Ezra was sending the two of us odd looks, having picked up on the weird atmosphere around us. While Noah was busy smirking and amus

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

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?" I chuckle dryly as I continued walking to my

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 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-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-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-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-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
