my best friend;noah flynn

chapter 2

she has a bunch of her things at noah's that she just leaves there. she has razors and shaving cream there. shampoo and conditioner. body wash. clothes. face wash. toothbrush. a straightener for her hair. hair elastics. perfume. makeup. etc.

she has all that stuff at her own house but just makes sure she has extra for noahs house cause she spends a lot of time there.

same for noah at her house. he has clothes,cologne,body wash,shampoo and conditioner,toothbrush,and all the other stuff he may need.

whenever they can be,they're with each other. those two have been best friends since the first day of preschool. and they've been inseparable ever since.

as she finished up her shower and rinsed the last of the soap off her body she got a call.

"hello"
"hey honey,me and john are going out tonight,i know you're with noah but if you end up coming home later and we're not home don't get worried"
"oh okay. have fun love you!"
"love you more honey"
*end of conversation*

reya put her phone down.

that call was from her mom. her and her mom are really close. john is her step dad. she's kinda close with him. her dad is in and out of her life. he comes around whenever he feels like it. and reya always forgives him. she loved her dad a lot. and he makes her vulnerable. and he knows it and uses it to his advantage. she doesn't really like to talk about him. noah is the only one reya has ever opened up to about her dad.

she got out of the shower and wrapped herself in a towel. she opened the bathroom door and walked into noahs room.

"who were you talking to"
he asked
"my mom,her and john are going out tonight. she just called to tell me"
she said as she took a white cropped shirt out of noahs closet that she left there. and a pair of her ripped jean shorts.

"we should go to the beach so you can take pictures of me for insta"
she said
he rolled his eyes and smiled "okay"
"yay" she held onto her towel and jumped up on him to give him a hug

she went back into his bathroom to get in the clothes.
she came out and threw herself on his bed.
he watched her and raised his eyebrows
at her outfit
"what do i look fat"
she asked.
he nodded his head "what? no. you don't look fat. but that shirt it a little revealing don't you think?"
she rolled her eyes and looked onto his floor where she saw one of his sweatshirts sitting.
she bent down and picked it up and put it on.
she mocked his face and they left his bedroom
"i'm taking this off when we get to the beach" she said
he rolled his eyes at her

they got into his car and he drove them to the beach
on the way there she wouldn't shut the fuck up about the drama between some of her cheerleader friends
"well like hailey is coming to me complaining about mia and mia is coming to me complaining about hailey. but like both of them are my friends and they're putting me in the middle and it's so annoying. and honestly i don't really care about their drama"
she spoke.

noah sat there quietly listening to her talk about them.
"i want to quit cheerleading,i don't want to do it for another year" she complained
"you are not quitting reya"
noah said.
she rolled her eyes
"noahhhhh i hate it"
"yeah but my football games aren't going to be the same without you cheering for me"
he whined
she rolled her eyes
"you act like a 6 year old"
she said.
he smiled
"i love cheering,don't get me wrong. but it just takes up so much of my time and it's annoying."
she complained.
"it'll look good on your college applications though"
noah said.
"i don't really think harvard will care if i was a cheerleader or not" she said.

noah and reya have had plans of going to harvard together for years. reya wants to be a therapist for children and teenagers.

"just please don't quit,you only have one more season of it anyways"
noah pleaded.
she looked at him and nodded her head
"fine"
she said.
he smiled and they arrived at the beach.

she got out of his car and walked behind him.

when they got to the water she pulled out her phone and threw it to him.
she also took off his sweatshirt and threw it at him
"okay take good ones bitch"
she said.

she started posing and smiling in front of the water as noah snapped at least 50 pics of her.

she took her phone back and looked through them
"these are cute" she said.
he handed her back his sweatshirt for her to put back on. she rolled her eyes at him and took it but she just held it in her arms instead of putting it back on.

they decided to walk on the beach. that was always their favorite thing to do with each other.

as they were walking along the beach and laughing with eachother,a group of guys walked up to them.

"can i have your snap?"
one of the boys asked.

noah clenched his jaw and looked down at reya who looked up at him for his approval.
"um yeah" she said with a smile
she typed her snap into the boys phone and he walked away.

noah looked at her
"WHAT?!"
she said.
he nodded his head and laughed.
she hit his shoulder
"just he happy that i'm getting over ayden"
she said.
noah held his fist tightly
"no because nothing should have happened between you two in the first place"
noah said angrily.
reya looked up at him and half smiled.

ayden is reya's ex. he was super abusive towards her. physically and mentally. all he did was yell at her and tell her she wasn't worth anything and he would get mad at her for everything she did. he would hit her and grab her and choke her. there were constantly bruises on her body from him. she tried to keep it a secret from noah but he found out pretty quickly. and reya just kept denying it. but noah wasn't buying it.

flashback-
reya walked into noahs room with leggings and a sweatshirt on.
"it's 90 degrees outside why are you wearing that?" he questioned
she shrugged her shoulders
he raised his eyebrows at her
she laid in his bed and got under his covers and shut her eyes.
then her phone started ringing
it was ayden
she answered it
"hello"
"where the fuck are you"
"noah's"
"of course you are. you're such a fucking slut"
"ayden stop"
"fuck you"
he hung up
she threw her phone onto the floor and cuddled back onto noah's side
"i really fucking hate him" she whined.
he rubbed her hair
she moved herself and it made the sweatshirt she had on roll up her arm a little bit.

noah saw a couple bruises on her arm.
"reya"
"hmm"
"take the sweatshirt off"
"why"
"just fucking do it"
"no"
"reya"
"what"
"why was there bruises on your arm"
"i walked into a door"
"don't lie to me"
"i'm not"
"reya just take off the damn sweatshirt"
she wouldn't.
after pleading with her for 10 minutes he finally got her to take it off.
she had just a bra on under it.
he saw bruises and red marks all over her stomach,neck,chest,and arms.
"reya what happened"
"nothing"
she said through tears
"bullshit"
he said.
"look you can't tell anyone"
she said.
"did ayden do this to you reya"
she looked down.
"if i tell you,you need to promise to not say a word to anyone"
he nodded
"sometimes ayden just gets mad i don't know"
"so you let him hit you because he's mad?"
she shrugged her shoulders.
he pulled her in for a hug.
"you know i love you"
he whispered into her hair
she tightened their hug
"i love you"
she said into his shirt.

end of flashback

he tried to fight ayden to scare him off but reya would never let him. reya and ayden would break up then make up. and they just had the most toxic relationship in history. but in the middle of the summer around a month ago,she had called things off with him for good this time. and she hasn't gotten back with him at all. and she's finally getting over him. which has been super beneficial for her. she's a lot happier now anyways.
