Not Giving Up

[12] What Just Happened?

Wendy's POV

It's already eight and Tyler haven't arrived yet. I was getting worried.

"Wanna grab a bite?" Noah suggested.

"It's okay." I said with a smile. 'Maybe he's already hungry.' I thought. "Are you hungry?" Then he gave me a wide smile. Yup. He's hungry alright. We went into the kitchen and grabbed some chips and ice cream.

We're scooping the ice cream using the chips when Noah suddenly stared at me intently. "What?" He didn't answer. "What?" I said raising my tone a bit higher. Then there was this kind of expression on his face like he was snapped back to reality. 

"So tell me about this Tyler guy." Tyler?

"What?" I know I've been repeating the same word for three times already but the last one was because of shock. Why would he ask about Tyler?

"It's just that,.." he started. "The last time I had an encounter with him was at the library and it wasn't even a good one." Then he flashes a smile. "I just want to know what kind of boyfriend is he to my best friend."

"Oh,,.. Tyler is.." The first time I talked to Tyler during homeroom class, when I tutored him at the library and got locked up, the first time he held my hands, the time when we're at the amusement park, th piggy back ride, and him telling me that he loves me. I was unconsciously smiling remembering the times I'm with him. "He may be tough, arrogant at times and annoying but he's sweet, caring--"

"Yo dudes," I was cut by Zack who's leaning at the margin of the door. "Need to go somewhere. Kiss mom goodnight for me."

"Sure." I replied. 

"Ciao pips." He said leaving. When I turned around to face Noah an ice cream was put on my cheek and Noah has a big grin on his face. 

"So you wanna play, do you?" Then I got the whole container of ice cream and grinning as wide as his. His eyes widen in realization.

"You wouldn't." he said.

"Oh yes I would." I said wiggling my eyebrows. He started running around the table. I chased him with the container still on my hand and put a huge amount of ice cream on his face. "Hahah..you..hahaha" I started laughing until my stomach ache.

"You wanna laugh Park?" he said in a tone that scares me a bit then he tickled me until I laid on the floor. "Stop! hahahahha." Before I even realize, he was already on me. I think he also realized it because he stopped. I thought he would already move when his gaze went down on my lips and...leaned closer! I was paralyzed by his intense gaze. 

Stop!

I was about to push him when....

"Wendy?" That familiar voice. Tyler. I quickly pushed Noah off me and stood up. Noah did the same thing. 

"It's not what you think." I explained. Shock still plastered on his face. 

"Man," Noah started. "Nothing happe--" he was cut when Tyler charged at him and punched him.  Noah stumbled down from the impact. I could still see Tyler's white knuckles.

Tension is at the atmosphere but then....he left passing me. Tyler left. Without  any word or a single look, then shuts the door hard. I won't let it end like this. I need to go after him.

I head for the door when Noah grabbed my wrist with a popped lip. "Let him cool down." I turned around to face Noah and slapped him.

"What the hell do you think you're doing?!" I said. He looked at me and was about to say something but closed his mouth and looked down instead. I think he realized any explinations won't do. Besides he's wasting my time. I headed outside and hoping to see Tyler.

Noah's POV

I didn't know what's happening to me. Seeing those beautiful hazel eyes and pink kissable lips..... I mentally punched myself. Wendy's right, What the hell am I doing?! I have Ashley.

Yes Ashley. The one who cheated you.

I didn't know what to do. I didn't know what to think. I just gave out a long sigh.

Wendy's POV

I ran outside and a cold breeze welcomed me. I called a cab since it's too late to call Ali for a ride. Gladly I still have some dollars in my wallet. I went directly to Tyler's house. His dad appeared and told me he wasn't there. "Thank you Mr. Adams."

"Have a nice night." He replied and gave me a smile. I returned a weak smile. I tried calling his phone but still no one was answering. I decided to head home since its school night and it's pass my curfew. Mom's going to be frantic if she comes home and I'm not around. She might call 911.

I money isn't enough for me to take a cab so I don't have other choice but to walk home. 

*DROOOOG* (Sound of thunder)

After a few steps it started to pour. Great. Just great. Being soak with rain will complete my bad day.

"Wendy!"

"Wendy!" He called again. I saw Noah with a concern look on his face. He is in his car signalling me to ride. But instead I ignored him and continued walking. Before I know it, Noah already lifted me bridal style. I started pruncing his chest. "Put me down!" But I guess he's too build up to even realize my hits. 

He put me in the passenger's seat besides the driver's seat and wore the seatbelt for me. His eyes were fixed on the road. Neither of us spoke all the way to my house.

I went out of the car even if it's still pouring hard. I don't care. I'm too physically and emotionally drained to even think about it. Noah held an umbrella for me. I was about to enter the house when he grabbed my wrist.

"I'm sorry." He said just enough for me to hear through the rain then he let's go. I went inside saying nothing to him. I'm tired and pissed off.

Luckily, mom's not home yet and I don't have to explain to her everything. That's the only lucky thing that happen tonight, I guess. I took a shower and tried to sleep hoping that tomorrow would be better.

A/N: An update at last! It took a long long long long time for me to update. Sorry 'bout that!

Noah's POV was quite short. I just want to include his point of view. So, yeah. ^^
