Chapter 58: Secrecy & Caught

For a few weeks things have been a bit more stressful. Noah is barely home. I sometimes have to put his messages on my voicemail on a loop just so I can hear his voice. It's either my work or something other that has to do with his raging mother. And I'm actually not okay with him just gone most of the time. I get more stressed and lonely when he's not here.

    I know how crazy it is to actually sound like I'm a housewife. My day starts out the same these past couple of weeks with my alarm going off. I wake up, shower, make myself coffee, brush my teeth and I get dressed for the day.
I start with running at the park. And I return home, and I use my energy to meditate. And I shower again, and I get dressed in my uniform and I drive to the Bean. I drink six cups of coffee usually before I head in. I have my hair tied up and I'm ready to work as either the server or the barista. And I just find myself surrounded by coffee and coffee beans. And still I don't hear much from Noah. For two days, he has been gone. But he did leave me a few texts saying he loves me.

    I know that I should see Noah. But I'm not even positive. And I'm terrified to find out the truth about anything. Noah has been acting different. And still, my boyfriend is avoiding my affection. He doesn't come home when I need him. I eat dinner alone. Usually Chinese takeout and I'm just stuck without him. And still, my bruises are stuck on my pale flesh from him of what he causes. It hurts to see him walk out and leave at five in the morning. He usually would rub me on the head and kiss me gently on the head. And I know that it might be a while for when I see him again.

Nothing is okay when it comes to Noah. And the worst part is that I know things have been quite different around here. Especially when I see our bedroom windows have the full open with tower size windows to look out our penthouse master bedroom windows to see Los Angeles. On one morning, I decide on taking a shower, and after I get in my work outfit. And I tie my hair into a ponytail, keeping it out of my face and I head to the kitchen to make myself some coffee and I put on my shoes, grab my phone and purse. But while I saw a few boxes packed, I saw they were boxes that had things that Noah was planning on getting rid of.

I opened one of the boxes and most were paper files on people. These must be from his office and he wants to get rid of them. I found a plastic bag, and the first thing that I see is something that looks familiar.

I gasp.

I see that it is my necklace placed in the plastic see through bag neatly. I found it. In a box of where things he was getting rid of. And I actually couldn't believe it. I took it out of the bag and I decided to put it on. I finally was able to breathe. There has to be some kinda explanation to why my necklace was placed in a bag in a box with things Noah was getting rid of. Did Noah take my necklace? Why was he going to get rid of this? He knew how special this necklace was to me and he was going to get rid of it. I couldn't believe it. I know Noah took it. Even when I asked him a few weeks ago, he told me he didn't know where it was, that he hadn't seen it. He lied to me. But why? There has to be a reason for it. I don't have anyone to talk to about this kinda thing. The only person I can truly think of is Naomi. She's not the best at advice but she's good at listening. And I think that's all I need.

I notice that Noah has been getting more and more distant and so fucking forgetful. I don't want to think of the possibility that he could be seeing someone. That someone being Kate Paulista. She is constantly calling or texting his phone. Especially when he's with me. But lately I think he's changed her name on his phone. Why would he do that? And I can't even think straight knowing or worried that Noah might be cheating on me. But I clearly don't want to think of that. It'll be the last of our relationship if he is.
