Fools in Love

24- Noah

Noah

White noise was all I heard. All I could see was pure, raw outrage and hatred. I couldn't even feel my fists slamming into Jude's face, I felt numb and just kept going.

Seeing Sam sobbing and screaming at Jude to stop made my stomach drop and everything went black from there. I might've been throwing profanities and threatening words at Jude, but I couldn't tell you what I said. I heard Sam yelling at me to stop, saying something about how I'd kill Jude. But that's how intense my anger was, those words didn't phase me.

And I wasn't brought back into reality until my arm was being yanked on, I tried shoving them back so I could continue, but then Sam was pushing me off of him and pulling me up.

"Stop," Sam emphasized, but I made a move to go back to Jude. Sam's hands cupped my face, "Look at me, Noah," he demanded and I finally met his eyes. "I'm okay," he said firmly. "Let's go."

"He was going to—"

"Stop," Sam cut me off and grabbed my hands, placing them on his face for me to physically realize he was safe, "I'm okay," he repeated and the white noise faded as I was pulled out of my numb state.

He let go of my hands as I looked back at Jude who was on the floor, his face fucked up and bloody. But he was still conscious based on his groaning. "I have pictures of what you did, so press charges on me for hitting you and I'll make sure you're going to jail for rape, you piece of shit."

I grabbed Sam's hand and took us out of the room. On our way downstairs, "you have pictures?" Sam asked worriedly.

"No, do you think I stopped to take photos before beating his ass?"

"Oh," was all Sam said then he pulled me aside and stopped us, "Thank you." He told me, "for stopping him."

Placing my hand delicately on his cheek, I asked, "I'm so sorry, Sam." If Jude had gone any further with Sam, I'd never forgive myself. Jude being in Sam's life was my fault and I wish I had killed Jude upstairs.

"I'm okay," he pressed, but his eyes were still watery.

I let him go, "Ben's probably looking for you," I said. "You should go be with him."

"I told Ben to leave. He went home," Sam told me and grabbed my hand again, "can you take me home?"

I nodded then said, "We have to get Kaitlyn and Ciera before we can leave," and I pulled out my phone to text them instead of trying to search for them. But I didn't need to because I got a text from Ciera a half hour ago.

Great. I sighed, "Well, I don't have a car actually."

"What?" Sam questioned me.

"I can take you."

Sam and I turned around to see a smiling Kai, "I'm ready to go anyway. I was looking for you, Sam."

"Oh, uhhh."

"He was with me," I said so Sam wouldn't have to come up with an explanation.

Kai looked down at our joined hands then looked at my other hand and back up at me. "What happened to your hands?"

Sam and I looked down at my bloody knuckles. "So you can drive me home?" I asked Kai, dodging his question.
