Trouble | Noah Beck

T W E N T Y S E V E N

I'll be switching to an "I" point of view, probably just for this chapter. I'm not sure yet.

I flinched at his harsh words, he never yelled at me, much less told me to 'get out'. It's all for the better, I want to leave him behind, but I need him in my life. I love him.

I yank my arm out of his grasp, "Don't ever fucking yell at me like that Beck", I scold him reaching for the door knob. He quickly regains a hold on both of my arms, pushing me up against the wall and pinning them above my head.

"Baby, you don't boss me around", he said with his breath fanning my face.

I open my mouth to say something, but I'm cut off with our lips colliding, roughly.

I kiss back, I needed to let him know how much I love him.

He releases the hold on my arms, moving one of his hands to cup my face and the other to my waist. He grinds against me, making me let out an unintentional whimper. He continues to kiss me, with no sign of passion, just utter anger, jealousy and disappointment.

He pulls away, glaring at me, "Leave.", he spat.

I roll my eyes, pushing him off of me, "I'm staying with Vinnie", and with that I walk out of his house not thinking twice about the words I said or my actions.

——————

I sat in the cafeteria, reading a book I had checked out from the library earlier.

I never actually read much, but for some reason I just felt like it. I needed something to distract my mind from everything.

As I flipped through the pages I feel someone seat themselves next to me. I look up to find him, my gorgeous boyfriend.

"Hey baby", I smile, Vinnie leans in to place a soft, gentle kiss on my lips. The complete opposite of the last kiss Noah gave me yesterday.

He pulls away, leaning his head on my shoulder as I continued reading.

"You know, I was going to ask you if you wanted to go out for dinner tonight. Since you declined my offer yesterday."

I shut my book, and turn to him. "I'm so sorry Vin, I was just really exhausted, but I'll make it up to you tonight", my mind flashed back to the night before. The way he made me feel, I have to get him out of my head, I don't know how, but I have to.

He smiles, as he tucks a strand of hair behind my ear, "You're so beautiful Denali"

I feel my cheeks heat up at his comment, and butterflies fluttered inside me.

"She is, isn't she?", the familiar voice makes me jump slightly, I turn around to see Noah towering over me.

"Go. Away." I snap, standing up from my seat, Vinnie glares at him.

"I will, once you tell him where you actually were last night", I freeze. Why the fuck is he doing this?

"What is he talking about Denali", Vinnie stands up as well, pulling my arm gently to turn to him.

"Nothing Vin—"

"She was with me", Athena steps in, I haven't talked to her in a while, but she's always going to be my best friend. I feel relief wash over me.

Noah chuckles, "Don't lie to him", he smiles arrogantly. He knew exactly what he was doing, he's trying to separate us.

"How about I just tell him. She was at my hou—"

"No, there's no way, she wouldn't.", I instantly begin to panic again, my heart almost popping out of my chest.

"Oh there is and she did, you see, that phone call you both had, she sounded funny didn't she?", I knew this was going to fucking happen, but I'm just so stupid that I did it anyways.

"Denali- is that why you fucking rejected me yesterday? You slept with him didn't you? And you didn't tell me? How long were you going to lie?", he snaps, looking at me in complete disbelief. I hate myself. I hate myself. I hate myself.

"Vin I-"

"We're done.", he stormed out of the cafeteria in rage. I felt absolutely terrible. Athena wraps her arms around me, embracing me in a hug. I replay what just happened in my mind.

"You fucking asshole, what's wrong with you?", I remove myself from her hold, walking up to Noah as he stood there with a smirk that I just wanted to slap off.

"You're mine and you know it", he winks, walking off. I turn back to Athena, "I hate him", I hug her once again.

"You don't D, you both want each other back", she rubs my back in reassurance. I sigh, it's the truth, but he's so frustrating.

"What?"

"Noah, I need to apologize and I also need an apology from you as well", he leaned up against the lockers in the empty hallway we stood in.

"Why do I need to apologize to you? All I said was the truth.", he rolls his eyes as he pressed his tongue against the inside of his cheek.

"You're a dick", I huff in annoyance at his stubbornness.

"You said things to me and I said things to you. So, we're apologizing to each other." I continue.

"Fine, I tell you what to say" he smirks, crossing his arms to flex his biceps.

"Why- whatever, go ahead",

"I'm sorry daddy", he smiles, my mouth parts as I realized what I had to repeat.

"No— I'm not calling you that", I scoff

"Say. It." he demands

I pause, hesitantly I let the words fall from my lips, "I'm sorry, daddy",

He smirks devilishly, "Apology accepted, are we done here?"

"I'm waiting for your fucking apology Noah", I huff, crossing my arms and tapping my foot impatiently.

He groans, "I'm sorry for telling the truth and ruining your relationship",

"I- fine, thanks", I shake my head at his shitty excuse of an apology.

I begin to walk off, feeling his arm wrap around my waist, spinning me back around to face him.

"So, are you my girlfriend now?", our foreheads touched, his nose brushing mine.

"No! I'm not, is that why you did that? Thinking that I would get back with you once we broke up?", I push him away,

"You are. That's that." he quickly pecks my lips, walking off afterwards.

I sigh, standing there as I ran my fingers through my hair in frustration.

I guess I am.
