Noah's POV (as usual please forgive me for any spelling grammar and word choice errors I really do try when editing and tysm for reading❤️)
_______________

I had called my mom and told her that I was going to see her but neglected to tell my dad because I didn't want to stress him out about it.

"Baby you know I support you and you know I care a lot about you" Pax said

"There's a but isn't there" I ask and he nodded his head

"I just don't think this is a good idea is all but if this is something you have to or want to do I'm here all the way ok" he said and i nodded

"Ready to go" he asked and I sighed dreading it

"If we have to"

"Baby we don't have to do anything, we don't have to go if you don't want to" I nod and he just started the engine of his truck.

Almost twenty minutes later we pulled up to my childhood house and my breathing soon became erratic

"Shh shh shh baby breathe" pax said effectively calming me down

"C-can I go in alone. It's just something I think I need to do" I say and he nods

"I'll be in the second you need me" he says and I nod believing him because I know it's true

"Alright" I say giving him a quick peck on his lips and getting out of his car.

Walking up to the door brought back both happy and sad memories mostly of the last time I was here

As I walked up the steps onto the porch I knocked on the door. It's not my home anymore so I couldn't just walk in.

"Oh Noah" mom said as she answered the door

"Come in come in" mom said ushering me in Closing the door quickly and quietly

"So how have you been" she asked and brought us into the living room. I noticed all of the pictures of me and mom had been taken down and she noticed it as my eyes roamed over the bare walls

"Oh uh Darren and I are putting a fresh coat of paint on the walls soon" she rushed out quickly and I just nodded silently not believing her

"Mom you know how I feel about Darren" I said frowning

"I don't know what happened between you two but hush now he's bringing out some drinks"

"Mom" I protest but she hushed me again

"Noah" Darren said roughly

"Oh let me go get the scrapbook I made years ago" mom said excitedly ignoring me

"Ugh" I sigh

"Some nerve you have showing up here boy" Darren said as soon as mom was out of ear shot

"I was invited Darren" I spit out angrily

"And I thought I told you to never come back" he said gruffly

"I should have ratted you out to the courts" I mumble quietly but he seems to hear

"Want to say that louder boy" he says loudly

"Fuck off you prick" I said angrily and he comes over and wraps his hands around my throat and starts tightening his grip on my throat

I start screaming and soon I was able to breathe again.

Pax had knocked Darren off of me and was kneeling in front of me protectively.

"Why you little bastard" Darren said angrily at Pax to which he scoffed at

"What the hell is going on and who is he" mom screamed and I glared at Darren

"Mom this is my boyfriend" she gasped and covered her mouth with one hand and did the motion of the cross over her chest with her other hand.

"Get out of here this is a place of god not sin" Darren said and Pax glared at him

"Gladly. Let's go Noah" he said lifting me up off the ground and stormed out with me close behind not even looking back. He placed me in the truck and placed a kiss on my lips before he go in on the drivers side and drove off a soon as humanly possible out of the neighborhood I used to call home
