The Dare

Chapter 37

I lie in bed, staring at the clock hanging on my wall.

2:37am.

I sigh, with only him on my mind. I bring my hand to my lips for the fourth time in the last hour, still feeling his lips on mine.

I don't know why I ran away. I.. I think I was just so overwhelmed and still so confused with everything. I break out into another sob.

Knock knock.

Emma's head appears around the door.
"Y/n?"
I sit up in my bed and bring myself to the headboard, where I break into another sob.
She walks over and climbs into bed.
"Noah."
"What about him y/n"
"He.." My breathe comes out shaky.
"Y/n just breathe everything will be okay."

Inhale, exhale.

"Noah explained what happened at the party, and.... he kissed me."
Her eyes open widely.
"He said he loved me."
I could hear Emma suck in a breathe.
"Y/n, remember I went to the coffee shop to get us coffees?"
I nod not knowing where this is going.
"Noah was there and...
"And what Emma." 

"He told me he loved you."
I stare at her. He.. he loves me.
"I don't know Emma."
"Y/n, he's obsessed with you, he almost started crying when I told him about how your doing now."
"Why did you tell him?"
"He asked."
I pause.
"When I told him what you saw, he just found out that you saw him. He didn't know why you weren't returning his calls or texts, he thought he did something to you."

I swallow, closing my eyes and resting my head on the headboard. Resisting my tears coming again, I say "And he asked how I was?"

"Yes."
I look back at her. She presses her lips together and nods.

"Emma what do I do."
"Well.. do you love him?"
"Yes but.. I don't know."

She shuffles closer "Has anyone made you feel like this before, what your feeling for Noah."
I shrug my shoulders.
"Y/n I've seen you. I've seen your face when he walks into the room."

I stare at her, taking in everything she's saying.
"And he puts an alarm on your phone for a sunrise?" She laughs,
"God y/n, your blind. I know he's made such terrible stupid mistakes. I know, you know, he knows.
But you gotta start realising what he's doing to you. I have never seen you as happy out of all the years you've lived in this apartment with me."

She looks at me waiting for me to talk.
But I don't, I look down at my hands picking the skin around my nails.
"Y/n how do you feel when he looks at you."
I glance back at her, then down at my hands again. "When he looks at me.... I feel like the only thing that mattered in the world."

She grabs my hands. "That's it y/n.
Don't you see that's what he's trying to tell you? You ARE the only thing that matters to him."

I nod, I'm starting to believe everything she's saying now.
"Get some sleep."
She says before kissing me on the forehead, climbing off the bed and closes the door shut.

I lie back in my bed, bringing the duvet up to my chin.

I'm in love with Noah.

——————————————————

The alarm goes off, just like everyday. I sit up in my bed and stare at the door. Screw it. I grab the blanket in the living room and I go outside where I see him. I stop and look at him. I suddenly can't breathe when his eyes meet mine. I walk up to the railing and look at the sunrise. It's slowly coming up. The sun is slowly shining above the horizon.
I pull out my phone and hold it in the air, showing Noah. He nods, and pulls it out of his pyjama pants pocket.
I call him.

"Hi." I say with a tired voice.
"Hi." He says slightly smiling.
We don't say anything for a few seconds. I don't know where to start, I also don't want to break from his gaze.
I finally talk. "About last night..

I could see his chest rise, sucking in a breathe.
"Noah.. you make some real stupid mistakes, and... no matter how much times you've hurt me.. I can't seem to keep myself away from you."
He doesn't say anything, he keeps one hands on the phone, and one on the railing.
" I fell in love with you, not knowing what love really was. I stayed in love with you because no one else made me feel the way you did. I still fall for you everyday because there's no one I picture my future with other than you...

He stares at me for a moment, then rubs his forehead standing up straight.

"I'm sorry..." he whispers.
"For everything." He says, you can hear the pain in his voice.
"I'm so sorry from the core of my heart for hurting you y/n. I'm sorry, I'm so sorry." He says shaking his head running a hand through his curly hair.

His hand at his ear drops, and he just stares at me, before walking back inside.
Have I done something?
I watch his door for several seconds waiting for him to come back out.
But he doesn't.
I walk back inside and stare at the floor.
Have I said anything wrong?
Overwhelming thoughts swarm my head.

Minutes go by and there's a knock on my door. I run to open it, it's him.
Noah's standing in my doorway.
He steps closer closing the gap.
"I love you y/n."
"I love you too."

His eyes widen, to my words, he can't help but kiss me. I kiss him back with passion
"Say it again." He says while smiling.
I laugh "I love you Noah."
He kisses me again.
He steps back a step and stares at me shaking his head.
"I can't believe you mine again." He whispers.
I smile for the first time in a while. I grab his hand and lead him out to the balcony where my blanket is still in the ground. I wrap Noah and i underneath and we look out at the sunrise.
I turn to look at Noah, his eyes glance to mine. I smile while I bring my head to his chest, and he wraps his arm around me.
I could feel him lean down behind me so his mouth is at my ear, and whispers

"I wanna spend the rest of my sunrise and sunsets with you y/n."
