chapter five

The night was still young when Nova returned from the back yard to hang out with Jessie and Ashley. They all needed some air after a heavy game of beer pong, where they lost from Jack, Jonah and Daniel. It was inevitable, the girls barely ever competed because the boys would just outplay them every single time.

"So," Ashley started as she reached for the cupboard to retrieve some straws and a new bottle of Bacardi, "Have you heard anything from Noah at all?"

Nova sighed softly as she leaned against the counter, swirling the black straw around in the leftovers of her previous mixed drink, "No, I- uh- I actually blocked him because I knew he was going to keep trying to make me give into him."

Jessie shook her head, "Babe," She spoke up, wrapping an arm around Nova's shoulders, "You know he's not good for you.. The fact that you block him because he keeps nagging about you forgiving him isn't healthy at all. It just kinda shows you're sick of his bullshit if you ask me."

Ashley sent Nova a look that indirectly told her her friend agreed with Jessie's statement. It caused Nova to sigh deeply this time, the back of her head leaning against the cupboard. "I jumped into this relationship without understanding the consequences because I didn't know him well enough.. And now I'm just- I don't know what to d-"

Her sentence got cut off due to a deafening yell coming from the living room, a loud thud following just seconds after. The three girls looked at each other with wide eyes, Jessie quickly reaching for the door that separated the kitchen from the living room and dining area. Once she opened it she was stunned by what she saw, Ashley and Nova quick to follow into the room without knowing what was going on.

Nova looked around the room to see the reason why everyone was yelling, her eye falling onto two guys stumbling over each other while fighting. Her eyes widened once she noticed a familiar blond leaning over her best friend, pulling back his arm before he swung it forward, his knuckles coming in contact with Corbyn's jaw.

She was quick to react and sprinted over to fist Noah's T-shirt and forcefully pull him back so he fell back onto the floor. His elbow came in contact with her face and she winced in pain, but didn't let that stop her from showing her anger. Hell, that action made it even worse.

"What the fuck do you think you're doing?!" She yelled at Noah, her eyes full of raging anger as she shoved him backwards. It caused him to fall onto his butt and the whole room fell silent after she raised her voice. "Why the fuck are you even here!"

She hadn't even realized that even if she blocked him, he was still able to see her location and could easily figure out where she was if she wasn't home.

"I knew you were fucking him behind my back," Noah scoffed, nodding his head into the direction of where Corbyn now sat up straight, Daniel and Ashley supporting him. "I politely asked you to choose between him and me and I see you turning up at his house every fucking day while you're my girlfriend-"

"Dude," Corbyn chuckled, wiping some blood from his busted lip, "That wasn't polite at all. Plus, the fact that she's here with me should tell you enough."

"Corbyn," Nova warned him, eyes widened because he was so straight forward. Deep down she felt like smiling, because he was actually kind of right. He raised his hands up in defeat before sending her a smug grin. Nova turned her head back to Noah after Ashley smacked the back of Corbyn's head to keep him from saying more shit that could've made him get punched once again.

"I don't think I've been clear enough," She stated calmly, her voice coming out cold but collective, "I told you I wanted some space. Why do you think it's okay to disrespect my needs? Because it's not," Nova told him, earning a few encouraging whistles from Zach and Jack and a quick applause from Jonah.

"Let me be clear about this though, Noah," She smiled sarcastically, "I don't ever want you around my friends and me anymore. Stay the fuck away. We're done, now get the fuck out before I lose my mind and do things I'm going to regret."

Her calm words were a surprise to every single one of her friends in the room, especially Corbyn. He never thought she had the courage to go against Noah because Corbyn always got the feeling she was slightly scared of him and didn't want to make him angry.

He watched Noah scribble up from the floor, scoffing and muttering things under his breath before he disappeared out of sight and a loud slam of the door followed a few seconds after.

"I'm going to talk to her," Ashley spoke up, looking at her best friend, who was currently shaking her head and was deep in thought about everything that just happened, "Can you take Corbyn outside?" She asked Daniel, receiving a nod from him, "I'll make sure to tell Nova to check on you after our talk okay? I need to calm her down right now."

Corbyn nodded understandably, watching his younger sister wrap her arms around Nova before leading her outside with Jessie following right behind them. Corbyn sighed deeply and flinched when he tried to sit up some more, the punches he received in the stomach and ribs hitting him a lot harder than he expected.

Daniel still sat down right next to him, a chuckle escaping his lips, "Damn bro, that was something different, huh?"

Corbyn turned his head to look at his friend, shaking his head before he laughed as well, "I didn't think she'd actually stay so calm, man," He told Daniel, "I just hope everything's okay and she isn't harmed by anything she saw."

"Nah," Daniel shook his head, "She's a tough but caring woman, I bet she's way more worried about your well being than hers."

On the other side of the house, Nova had calmed down slightly after her girl friends took her outside to go get some air.

"I don't understand how I let all of this happen," She sighed softly, "I should've end things with him as soon as he wanted me to choose between him and Corbyn. Look what he did to Corbyn- he's hurt because of me."

Jessie shushed her immediately, "He isn't hurt because of you, he's hurt because Noah is the biggest asshole and he was going to flip out either way. The douchebag was a ticking time bomb and we just had to wait for him to go off."
