Noahs P.O.V.

Its been about two weeks since anyone has heard from Freya to be honest both Nick and I both are on edge. I know enough from talking to her she can end up drinking. I cant blame her for wanting to numb the pain, but if she goes down that route Nick will end up broken. She means the world to him just the way he smiles when she is around says it all. I go to the party where I suspect Freya will be I dont tell Nick for fear of a huge fight. It takes me five minutes to find her drinking like crazy I grab her arm dragging her away from the party to fresh air.

What has gotten into you Frey this isnt you, and dont snap back with your remarks. I stare into her eyes seeing her so broken makes me just pull her into a hug.

How do I pick up the pieces Noah? I have no family here except for a horrible father. I want to go back home. I cant stay, but I cant leave. Not yet.

Lets get you sobered up Sparky

We both back up from the embrace too see Nick standing there. I was waiting for a blowout fight. Instead, his eyes light up, I looked at Frey and she looked at me.

We take her back to her place know her Dad wont be home for 10 days due to public intoxication. She walks to the shower taking a long one and coming out in short shorts and a Sleep Token Hoodie.

I know Im drunk, but you got a bargaining chip. So out with-it Nikki

Well talk when you sober up Sparky.

Hmm... Id argue but the fact my head is spinning mean I reached my limit. A laugh came from both us shaking our heads at her statement.

Who knew Nick, Freyas limit is a 2-week binge. I bump his shoulder she grabs a few blankets and pillows.

You two can crash in my room if you want and Ill take the couch.

Her eyes are soft and tired I watch as Nick walks over to her and holds her so close before he pulls away kissing her forehead.

Im good on the couch have Nick sleep with you might need it.

He nods and goes to her room leaving Freya n I.

If you are in love with him Noah, I wont take him.

He is my best friend Frey not my lover I cant love him like you. Just dont take him away like many other girls do.

I promise Noah I wont.

Freya why cant you leave?

Will you keep a secret?

Sure Frey what is it?

I cant leave without telling him I love him and seeing if he feels the same.
