We Meet Again

I Care About Her

Here's a short chapter! enjoy!
*updated chapter!! was "fine!"*

No ones POV:
The same thing that happened with Dixie, Noah, and Addisons once noah got back from the park, seemed to happen several times over the next few weeks. They couldn't get rid of each other, they saw each other everywhere. But every time, they exchanged a wave and a smile, and went about there day as if nothing had ever happened.

dixie recently found out through the grape vine that noah goes to NYU as well, and she wasn't really sure how to feel about it. So besides living in the same building, there was also a small chance that they where in the same classes and that alone was a terrifying thought.

It's been 2 weeks since they first saw each other, (sept. 21) and school starts in a week. They when now both fully moved in and have partially grown accustomed to the New York lifestyle, well noah more than Dixie.

Dixie avoided leaving her apartment at pretty much all cost, so she only really left when addison dragged her out. It took dixie forever and then some to get used to Alabama, let alone another huge city. As much as she didn't want to admit it, she was also avoiding leaving because of the chances of seeing Noah where pretty high.

It wasn't that she necessarily didn't want to see him, but she was actually scared to. I mean what where they supposed to say? "hey! a few years ago you where the love of my life, now we are strangers, but anyways how's your day?" that's not gonna work...

yea, no. it wasn't a complete lie, it was actually pretty true. If you told either of them at the beginning of senior year in highschool that one day they would be almost complete strangers, they would have told you you where crazy. Absolutely insane. They had seen each other at their highest and lowest points, and in the most fragile and intimate ways. How could you go from that, to just never speaking again?

exactly. But there they where, living proof that anything is possible.

Dixie was kind of scared to see noah, she was scared he would ask her about why she didn't come visit him during holidays or the summertime, but that was still something that she was not ready to talk about with anyone for that matter. Not even addison knew, but she liked it that way, it was between her and her family and she wanted to keep it that way.

Noah's POV:
Me and Blake where walking out of practice, even though the school year didn't officially start our soccer coach wanted us to get some practice in especially cause we where new.
We stopped at a hot dog cart on the street, that was definitely something new that they didn't have in California. They had food trucks, street carts and everything everywhere you looked it was actually pretty convenient (hehehe).

Once me and blake got our food we started to walk back to our apartment, it was a short walk and the traffic was definitely not worth it so walking is the best option.

"so, when are you gonna make a move on dixie?" blake teased as we walked into our building. It was a weird question, but definitely not out of the blue. He had asked me this many times before and i'm sure it wasn't going to be the last time either.

"blake we went over this two weeks ago, not happening."

"come on noah, just take her to Starbucks or something, just talk to her"

"blake drop it, and be quiet we are right in front of her door" i shushed

"noah, honestly your gonna tell me not even a small part of you wants to? I'm your best friend and it's my job to make sure you don't make stupid mistakes, and this is one of them."

"fine, fine! oh my god if it means you'll stop talking about it then i'll ask dixie out! my lord now leave me alone" ah shit, no no no i didn't mean to say that. great.

"oh my god finally. How about right now?"

"huh?"

Seconds later,dixie and addisons apartment door swinging open. I turned on my heel to face the door, praying that it wasn't dixie standing there, thankfully it was just addison.

My eyes went straight to blake, he's dead.

"i didn't do anything i swear! it's not my fault this time!"

I wanted to yell at him again, but addison cut me off before i got to do so

"can you guys stop being so fucking loud, dixie is trying to sleep" addison said crossing her arms in the door way, staring us down

"wait, is she okay?" i was actually worried about her

"noah, after what you just said it doesn't seem like you actually care. All i'm doing is asking you to be quieter or leave" it was clear that she was not happy with me at all.

"okay, sorry. But honestly is she okay?"

"noah, it's really none of your business right now"

"well addison, while we have you here, noah wants-"

"let me stop you both right there. Do you think i couldn't hear you guys before? Noah don't just ask out dixie because blake wants you too. Enough guys have wasted that girls time and she doesn't need you doing it too. Especially when you mean so much to her"

"wait! what's that supposed to mean?" i stopped her before she could leave

"i meant what i said, you mean a lot to her. Dixie has had terrible luck with guys since college started. If you ask her out just to mess with her, i don't know what that will do to her" addison sounded sincere

was she being serious? damn i guess i have missed a lot these past few years. Now i feel bad. That i wasn't there to help her, get her through the things she had went though. I feel guilty, i don't want addison to think i'm messing with dixie. I would never, i care about her even if it's hard for me to admit it.

"addison, it's 12:30 right now, once dixie wakes up tell her to be ready by 4, i'll come pick her up" i smiled and walked away, heading back to me and blake's apartment

I didn't get to see addisons reaction, or blake's i just walked back to my apartment. I assumed blake followed behind me though.
For some odd reason, i was actually proud of myself, and genuinely excited.

Fuck, now i have to plan a date.

Wait was this a date? it couldn't be because i didn't actually asked dixie, oh god dixie didn't even respond or say yes. Im praying that this actually works out. I mean i do have an upper hand, i know everything dixie likes, so hopefully i can do something special for her, even it's not a real date. I just want her too know that I care.

I hope you liked it! more chapters coming today!
