The Dare

Chapter 19

I couldn't breathe, I was so lost. I don't know where to go. I ran, and I ran. I need to get home.
My mind is plagued of memories with him that I can't get out of my head, my vision being filled with fresh tears, before rolling down my rosy cheeks.
I finally make it to my house and I slip inside trying not make anyone notice me, which was a success. I found a note on my bed from mom "gone with Rachel back in a while- mom <3"

Falling forward, crippled by the pain in my stomach, I roared into my pillow. My hand gripping onto my bed. His face flashes into my mind, his face when Brittany told me, his such big brown but emotionless eyes staring right back at me and it killed me. I choked on a strangled sob, I curl into a ball on my side, tears falling freely down my face, pouring onto my bed.
The past few weeks have probably been the best weeks of my life.

I should have known, I should have listened.

Noah

I run my hands through my long hair watching her run away. Shit.
I turn back inside raged with anger, "What the hell Brittany"
I say walking towards her. A smile formed on her face
"Is this not what you wanted Noah?"

She pauses with realisation.
"Wait....You actually liked her?"
She laughed.
"I thought she was slut but-
I couldn't hear those words come out of her mouth, I turned to the couch and got my stuff. I needed to get the hell out of there.
"Hey, Hey! Come on Noah it was a joke-
I hear before slamming the door. I walk down the driveway, still full of anger.
I take out my phone and start to dial her phone number. I hesitate before pressing "call".
I wait and wait, until it goes to voicemail. I try again, then I try messaging. "Come on" I say under my breathe.
I tried once more and it went straight to voicemail.
She blocked me.
I sat on the curb running my hands through my hair, just thinking about her, what she's doing right now.
I could feel my eyes water but I try to hold them in.
I forced myself to walk, somehow, my feet led me home where I found my dad on the couch. As he hears the door open, he turns around and notices my red eyes.
"Noah? What happened"

I dragged my feet to the couch next to him and rested my head in my hands.
"Dad, I messed up"
I could feel dads eyes on me but still confused, I don't have the energy to talk anymore but I somehow find the strength to say
"It's y/n, I messed up and-
I wipe my cheeks with the back of my hand. I turn to my dad who is still staring at me , he reaches out his hand and puts it on my shoulder pulling me in for a hug.
"You know what, you have changed so much since you met y/n.
Your you again, I remember when you fell into that popular group that your in now. Ever since you met y/n I could see the real side of you coming around, and I missed you much"
He's right, I felt like y/n made me change in so many ways, and showed me that there is so much more to life.

"I love you so much dad" I say with my arms wrapped around his neck. He pats me on the back, "I love you too Noah."

I'm in my bed staring at my ceiling, not getting the thought of her out of my head. Regretting everything I did, i drifted to sleep, waking up the next day to a Monday morning dreading what's about to come.
