Why me? (bxb) {Editing}

Chapter Twenty-Three

Sandy and others were taking photos while me and Noah were sitting on the benches watching them. Ethan somehow also got dragged there with them. Everyone looked happy. Correction everyone was happy.

Except for Noah. He looked anxious like he wanted to get out of this place as fast as possible. Actually he looked like that all morning. Something must have happened because I have never seen him like this. Whenever he wasn't okay, I was the first to know. What was it that he didn't want me to know? Did I do something wrong?

"Are you in love with Saunders?" He said stopping me from my trail of thoughts.

Wait, did he just ask me if I was in love. He knew how I felt about using the 'L' word.

"How can you ask me that?" I gaped at him.

"I...just want know if you're in love with him then maybe I'll try to be nice to him." He shrugged.

I didn't understand why he would try to be nice now. I mean me and Ethan have been dating for quite some time so why now? What has changed? Don't get me wrong I was happy he was willing to give Ethan a chance and I cared about what Noah thought. What puzzled me was why he would act all weird then ask me something like that.

I looked at him trying to read his thoughts. I could always tell what he was thinking but somehow since we came to the wedding...I couldn't.

"He is my boyfriend. You should have always tried to be nice." I told him.

"Not really. If you're in love with him, me being an asshole to him would dent our relationship and I don't want that but if you're not then it doesn't matter and you won't choose him over me." He explained.

He thought I would choose Ethan over him?

I would never even if I was in love with Ethan I wouldn't choose him over Noah. Noah was important, not that Ethan wasn't important but Noah as been with me for a long time, he was family. How could he think of something like that? Scratch that. How could he think I would do such a thing?

I sighed looking at him. "You know I'd never do that to you not after everything we've been through. If anything I should be worried you'd ditch me."

He looked offended that I would say such a thing and I shrugged.

Welcome to my world.

"I wouldn't dare." He stated without hesitation.

I smiled at him I knew he wouldn't. I wondered if this was what he was worrying about. It seemed like it wasn't he still seemed uneasy. Before I could ask him what was bothering him Ben called me.

"Let's go! You gotta be in the family photos!" Ben exclaimed.

I shook my head disagreeing but he grabbed my hand and so I grabbed Noah's so he could get up. He groaned.

"If I'm doing this then so are you." I told him, he frowned but walked with me and Ben anyway.

I was happy to see Ben happy. He was trying to heal. He didn't heal yet I know because still flinches when Ariel smiles at him or tries to touch him but what's important was that he was trying.

We took an hour or so to finish taking pictures then everyone started entering the Hotel. I didn't realise how big the hotel was until I entered. The hotel restaurant was reserved for the wedding. The broad white tables with flowers in the middle surrounded the hotel restaurant and the ceiling so far up but was engraved with paintings was just beautiful.

This all got me thinking: How rich was Ariel?

We were all walking inside when Ethan caught my elbow and told me he needed to take a call and that he would be back. I told him that was okay and entered alone since others were already in.
