I just got to know from Ace that he had spilled the tea over to Rhyss. Surprisingly, I can already hear the hurricane which is about to enter my house anytime from now. I wonder what she thinks of me now. It's not like I knew all of it either. I mean, the reason. All I did know though that the truth isnt exactly gonna make her like me anymore if not hate me.
While I thought a million ways in which it can all end, the roaring became audible. She left Ace's house with a heavy heart I'm sure. Not because he did what he did but on me for hiding exactly what she needed. There was a loud thud on my door and I knew that I need to invite it.
"Hey.......", I tried covering my nervousness
"Shut your heys, I'm coming in", she announced and pushed past me to sit down on the kitchen slab.
Did I say kitchen slab? Definitely didn't say with a knife right? Yeah, with a freaking knife in her hands. Mostly playing with it, but I know what it's for.
"Um....that-that, knife isn't; Safe", I gestured. Still nervous
"Shut up and answer me, k?". I nodded......Fine you guessed it. Nervous wreck. She continued, "When did you plan to tell me? Answer anything that isn't gonna get you killed"
"And....what is 'that' answer". I'm gonna die, lord. She narrowed her eyes telling me to speak cause it's more like I'll get killed anyway. So I did, I moved my neck corner to corner. Telling her that it's a clear 'no'.
"Huh", she sighed. The expression of disappointment clearly printed on her face.
"Look.....I didn't know it all either. I-I needed to know why he did that. I can't just let you think he's the villain cause I'm sure he isn't! And now you know.", I explained.
"D", she called out. "It doesn't matter what you knew. It matters if you ever planned on sharing". She got down and started to leave.
"And do what? Hurt you with it? And be like 'Oh look. We did that!' ", I stopped her in her way.
"Oh so what? You were trying to save me?!"
"I tried to save you!!!", I shouted at last, not being able to control my growing nervousness as well as frustration. "You think I didn't? I tried every freaking way so that you would stay away from him! I tried telling you to stay away after he kissed you only because. Well you know now how it all started and I just thought... I even fed his girlfriend, or whoever that Ace's little brunnete is, that you and Ace kissed and stuff! So that you guys will be upset and start ignoring eachother and eventually his plans would fai-"
"Wait, that is why you had that look in your eyes, the one I failed to understand. Because you are Noah"
"If it helps, that's the first name I could think of when Mylin asked me...."
"So.....all.....of this searching-"
"-I was trying to keep you away from him. But then I felt like I needed to keep you away from me. Cause I can't probably fall in love with my own best friend's lover, can I? Moreover, you like him too. And anyway, I myself know I'm nowhere near him and you don't need to tell me that. I'm not the person you need and I can't force you to make me your need, or your want. Just at least believe me when I say that I tried. I-I tried to tell you about this. But then again, I was too afraid of you to hate me. Even though I always knew it was gonna be a part, a part of the journey, all of it. And it matters that it ended finally and we all have what we wanted. You have Ace. Ace has you. And I'll - I'll always have myself"
"You........l-liked me?"
"Chill, that won't be the future. It can't be".
