Oblivious

Chapter 17

Finally the last bell rang. I rushed outside and waited for Noah. A pair of hands covered my eyes. "Guess who?" It was clearly Noah. "Hmm let me guess. Is it Noah?" I say. Noah removes his hands from my eyes and stepped in front of me. "Lucky guess. Are you ready to go?" Noah asked. "Yup. Let's go." I say. Noah grabbed my hand and started to lead me to his car. I looked over and my eyes locked with Ethan's. I hope he saw the whole cute eye covering thing. Noah lead me through the parking lot. "Well this is my car." Noah said. My jaw dropped. He had a bright yellow hummer aka my dream car. "Shut the fudge nuggets up. You have my dream car." I say. It's beautiful. "Well hop on in." Noah said. I jumped up and down excitedly. I opened the door. It had nice leather seats. "Ok all I'm saying is that if your car gets mysteriously stollen don't look in my garage." I say. Noah chuckled. He started the car of my dreams and we were off.

"It's coming up on the left annnnd we are here. My humble abode." I say as Noah pulls into my driveway. "Nice house." Noah says. I smile. "Thanks." I get out of the car. "I could pick you up Monday morning if you want." Noah says. I smile. "Sounds like a deal. Could I ask you for a favor?" I ask Noah. "Yeah sure." I smile. "Could I borrow your history notes. I can't really read the board." I say. "Sure thing cutie." Noah started to dig through his bag while I blush like an idiot. "Here you go." He handed me his note book. "Thanks." I say. "Bye cutie." I can't help but blush when he calls me that. "Bye." I say and close his door. I watch as he pulls out of my driveway. I started to walk inside my house when Ethan and Grayson pulled into their drive way. I wave at Grayson then I notice Ethan walking my way. I turn around and speed walk to my door. "Madison wait! I just want to talk!" Ethan yelled. I glanced behind my back to see him running after me. I quicken my pace. I throw open my door and try to close it but a foot stops it. "Madison please. I'm sorry. Can we just talk?" Ethan asked. "Move your foot." I command. "Madison no. Please just talk to me." Ethan begged. "Ethan no. Please just move your foot." Ethan sighed but moved his foot. I shut the door and ran up to my room. I threw my window open. There's a latter type thing that my aunt grows vines on that was right next to my window. I climbed up it and on to the roof. I do my best thinking here. I pull out my phone and start playing my music. I lay down and close my eyes.

"Madison get your ass down here!" I hear. It's my aunts voice but why is she so mad. I climb down the latter type thing. I make my way all the way down to the ground. I walk over to my aunt. "What do you need?" I ask. "Your such a disgrace." She slurred. Her breath reeked of alcohol. "Have you been drinking?" I ask. She doesn't say anything she just raises her hand and smacks me. Hard. I grab my cheek and I feel tears weld up in my eyes. "Why would you do that?" I ask. "I'm so sorry." Her face filled with guilt. I felt a tear slide down my cheek. She tried to step closer to be but I backed away from her. I turn around and ran. I ran right into the twins house. Their parents and sister don't get home till late so I knew I wouldn't see them. I run up the stairs and into Grayson's room. His back was facing me. "Gray." I cried out. Tears were now flowing from my face non stop. He turned around. "Oh my gosh. Madison, your cheek it's all bruised. Who did this?" He ran over to me and engulfed me in a hug. "M-my aunt." I say. Grayson wiped away some of my falling tears. "It's ok. My parents and sister are gone for the weekend. You're going to stay here tonight. Ok?" I nod my head.

It's Monday morning and I'm waiting for Noah to pick me up. I practically spent all weekend in Grayson's room. I successfully avoided Ethan all weekend. The bruise had faded which is good. Noah's yellow hummer pulled into my driveway. I stand up and pull down my skirt. I'm really regretting getting rid of all my old clothes. I jump into Noah's car. "Ready for another day of hell?" I ask. "Not even close." Noah replies. "Here's your notes. Thanks again for letting my borrow them." I hand Noah his notebook. "No problem cutie." Noah winks at me. I blush. Again. The rest of the ride to school we just listened to music. Once we get to school Noah and I walk into the school and headed to History. I think it's kind of funny how that now it's my sophomore year I still have advanced history first and gym second and with Ethan. All my other classes switched around though. "So can I take you home again today?" Noah asks when we sit down. "Looking forward to it." I smile.

*One month later*
The final bell rang and I made my way over to Noah's hummer. He's been driving me to and from school all month and I haven't talked to Ethan at all. Ethan really hurt my feelings. I waited by the hummer till Noah came. "Ready to go?" He asked. "Yup." I reply. Noah and I make small talk all the way to my house. We finally pull into my driveway. "Thanks for the ride." I say. "No problem cutie." Noah said. He moved his hand on my thigh. "Uh what are you doing?" I ask. "Oh come on. I know you want me." Noah slides his hand further up my skirt. "Um actually I don't so I'm going to go." I try to open the door but it's locked. I tried to unlock it but it wouldn't. "Noah unlock the door." I say. "Come on stay." He said. Noah leaned over and kissed my neck. I pushed him away. "Get the hell away from me!" I yell. "Come on cutie." Noah starts to pull my shirt up. I scream. "Get away!" I yell. I hit him but he's really strong. He's practically on top of me now. I continue to scream in hopes that someone would hear. Noah's car door opens and he gets yanked out of the car. My door opens and someone gently pulls me out. I turn around to see Grayson. A tear slips down my face. "It's ok. Ethan's taking care of that pig." Grayson says as he wipes away the tear. I don't want to think about what could have happened if Ethan and Grayson didn't show up. I run around to the other side of the car to see Ethan on top of Noah throwing one punch after another. Noah's face was all bloody. "Ok Ethan that's enough. Just let him go." I say. He ignored me and continued to punch Noah. "Ethan!" I yelled. He looked up at me and got off of Noah. Noah jumped up and started to get in his car but Ethan slammed him against the door. Ethan put is arm over Noah throat. "Don't you ever fucking touch her again. Do you got it?" Ethan said in a low and scary voice. Noah nodded his head. He looked petrified. Ethan backed away and Noah got in his car and drove off. Ethan ran over to me. He grabbed the sides of my face and looked me in the eyes. "Are you ok?" He asked. I nodded. Ethan kissed my forehead and engulfed me into a hug. I hugged back. I had my best friend back.
