Noah's POV

Chloe and I were walking to a cafe after our workout, so she could get some boba. As we were a few stores away, I could hear that same melodic voice from my past.

"-Kayla. I already told you. He hurt me so much. So much I don't know if I will ever forgive him. He was my only friend. I only had him to rely on. And he just left me. He didn't even tell me. He didn't send a letter. His mother sent a letter after a month of me sending him letters with no reply. His own mother has to be the one to tell me he was gone a month after he left. My parents were fighting. Joe was gone. I thought I'd have Noah. I thought I'd have someone to lean on. No. He left me. And I can never forgive him for that."

I stopped walking and so did Chloe. She heard it too. "That boba doesn't sound too good right now. I'll get you a smoothie another time Noah," She notices I'm frozen and grabs my arm. She turns me around and slowly pulls me back toward our car with pity.

When we get home, I don't speak, I just walk up to my room and take a shower.

A couple hours later I was just staring into my wall. "Hey, Noah," Chloe moves to sit next to me and I glance at her.

"I know that was rough Noah, but that's her feelings. And that's what she thinks of you. And it's not gonna be that easy to change it."

"But I wish I didn't do it. If that's actually what happened, then she'll never want me back. I don't even know what I want with her! Friends? Lovers? AGHHH!!!"

"Noah, the best thing you can do is apologize. And be kind to her. Though it might take some time."

"I'm horrible!"

"No Noah your not. You made a mistake."

"A big mistake. Big big mistake."

"You're Noah Schnapp. You can fix your mistakes."

"But-"

"No. We are not arguing about this anymore. C'mon. Let's go downstairs and I'll make you whatever you want for dinner. And you can go get yourself a smoothie and me some boba."

"I feel like you're just saying that so you get boba," She laughs.

"I was going to get it after our workout but you didn't let me," She looks me up and down.

"Fine. And I want spaghetti!"

Joss's POV

"I'm home!" I say as I unlock the door to our apartment. No reply. It made sense, since after we had smoothies I went shopping.

As I walk into the kitchen and turn on the lights, I notice a note on the counter.

Dear J,

I've already left, but there's a pizza in the freezer you can eat for dinner. I'll be back at 2am and I promise to not fuck her. I also got Maya tulips since they're your favorite. I'll be back before you know it, goodnight!

I love you,
Joey

I set down his note and dig through the freezer to find the pizza. I find it and notice it has ham on it. I shove it back in the freezer and decide to go to the grocery store and buy a salad.

I grab my stuff again, as well as the grocery list. I get back in the car when my phone starts vibrating. I pick it up and it happens to be Kayla.

"Hello?"

"Uhh, Joss? Could you pick me up?"

"Yeah. Is someone following you?"

"Yeah," She pauses and whispers. "Please come fast."
