Noah walked down the street. As I watched him, the door opened.

"Hey I'm back" I said.

"Who was that?" my dad said.

"Who was what?" I said quickly afterwards.

My dad looked at me, "Get in here."

I walked in went to my room, took a shower, and went to sleep. While in my bed, I got on my phone and only one notification popped up.

Noah😻💯✔️: ❤️

Noah POV
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I was up at 1:30am thinking about what happened last night. First almost kissing Payton, then accidentally calling her bae, and her pushing me to leave so fast, especially that one.

Why would she want me to leave? We weren't late. What was wrong? Was it someone behind that door? Did she not want me to see them? Did she not want them to see me? Is she seeing someone else? Who is he? What's his name? I'll kill him. Wait why should she cheat? She wouldn't do that right? We're not together, why am I so hung up on this?

I texted squad.

Noahh✔️💰💯: help? who's up?

I laid down staring at the ceiling thinking about who could've been behind that door and dozed off to sleep.

Payton POV
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I was up all night listening to the footsteps in the hallway. My dad paced up and down the hallway for an hour in the middle of the night, like he was our security guard.

All night he's been on the lookout for someone or something to come in the house. I think he's been on edge since he heard Noah and I on the porch talking last night. Noah. NOAH! I totally forgot about Noah. I grabbed my phone, turned down my sound. And texted Noah.

Me: ...

10 minutes past and still no text from Noah. Another 5 minutes pass and my dad finally goes to sleep. I take a deep breath and loosen up a bit. 10 minutes pass, a text from Noah.

Noah😻✔️💯: I gotta talk to you.

Me: uh sure

Noah😻✔️💯: no now, in person

Me: idk about that

Noah😻✔️💯: I really need to talk to you please.

Me: ok come over, but don't knock, just text me

Noah😻✔️💯: y?

Me: what do think mr.wants to talk at 3:30 in the morning

Noah😻✔️💯: ohhhhhhhhhh

I rolled my eyes and went on Instagram, until Noah came over.

Noah POV
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I quickly got dressed and ran to Payton's house. I need to know if she's seeing anybody before I try to go any farther with this.

I'm on Payton's porch and just stand there for a second staring at the door. I flashed back to when Payton's rushed me to leave. About to knock, I remembered what Payton said and texted her.

Me: ✊👊✊👊

A minute later I heard the door slowly open with Payton peeking through.

"Hi" she whispered.

"Hey" I said.

She opened the door some more, so I could come in.

"Upstairs, third door on the left" Payton whispered locking the door, "Stay quiet."

I quietly walked upstairs, went in Payton's room, and sat on her donut beanbag chair. Her room was pink and black, but bright. She had pictures of her and those two girls I saw at the skating rink with her. She also has pictures of these two little kids, one boy, one girl, of them all swinging on the swings and laughing. Then she has this one picture. It was a picture of her, just her, smiling, she looked so beautiful, and I didn't want to lose her.

I heard the door close, Payton was standing there. That girl had a body. I looked her up and down, and just perfection.

Payton POV
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I locked the front door and slowly tip- toed upstairs. On the way, I thought about Noah. He looked like something was bothering him. His curls were all messy, eye bags, and I could have swore his shirt was on backwards.

I walked in my room and Noah was looking at my pictures, he was particularly looking at the one of me, what's going on with him. I closed the door and he looked my way. He looked me up and down, and I know why. I was wearing a sports bra and some shorts,with a stud belly button ring, revealing you might say.

"You wanted to talk" I said walking to my bed and sitting on it.

"Imamdmitid" Noah mumbled with his head down.

"What? You have got to stop with this mumbling crap" I said.

"I said I admit it" Noah looked up.

"What? Admit what?" I said.

Noah looked at me, then came and sat down next to me.

"I like you"
