Arabella Z Volant

These last 3 days passed faster than ever. It was finally Friday. I'm scared and so fucking nervous for how Paul will react. He doesn't need this right now. Not when he's gonna put his life in danger for everybody. I decided I would end the week good by going to school. After I finished presenting my English project with Bella I decided to go home since I didn't have much work for any of my other classes.

As I walked through the front door I realized Noah's car was gone so I was now home alone. I decided to take a shower to clear my head for awhile. I tried to find the right words to say to Paul but they only led me to feel even more guilty. Especially after that stupid dream I had on Tuesday. Fuck this.

All this thinking got me tired as I fell asleep on the couch. I woke up 2 hours later looking at my phone as it said. 10:45 pm. I got a texted from Paul saying he'll be here at 11. I texted him ok as I sat back down.

I heard the doorbell ring as I opened the door. Paul embraced me in a hug as he kissed my head. I gave him a small smile as we sat on the couch.

"You ok?"he asked.

"Uh kinda."

"So what is it you wanted to tell me?"he said looking up at me.

"Well before I go any further it was a mistake and I would n-ne--,"I heard the front door slam open as Noah stumbled in.

Paul had a confused look on his face as he replayed what I was just about to say.

"NOAH WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU,"I yelled.

He stumbled as he made his was towards the kitchen. "L-LETS just say I had a little to much fun with the guys,"he said burping.

"WHAT THE HELL it's only 11 AND YOUR DRUNK?"I yelled at him as I helped him to the nearest chair.

"OH would you look it hear PAUL'S HERE,"he shouted. I had worried face. Noah don't ruin this for me.

"What is it?"Paul said as he looked at both of us instantly standing up. He looked tensed as he got closer to us.

"ARABELLA DONT TELL ME YOU DIDN'T TELL HIM ABOUT OUR KISSS--.......oh wait WAS I NOT SUPPOSE TO SAY ANYTHING,"he said as he whispered the last part while making eye contact with me.

I instantly looked at Paul as he shook with rage. "Please tell me Aria he's not serious."

"Paul please it was a mistake I was drunk I-I didn't,"I said before he cut me off.

"THERES NO WAY YOU AND THIS B-BASTARD.... ARE YOU FUCKING SERIOUS?" He shouted furiously.

"LOOK PAUL I SW--"

"NO ARIA IT'S MY TURN TO SAY SOMETHING. This asshole has been flirting with you while you were completely oblivious. Of course he kissed you. Look I'M GONNA MAKE THIS CLEAR." He stated.

"YOU NEED TO FIGURE OUT WHAT THE FUCK YOU HAVE HERE WITH NOAH AND THEN COME TELL ME WHO YOU WANT," he yelled.

I got closer to him which he only stepped back as a response. Tears started pouring down my face.

"NO PAUL PLEASE I DON'T LIKE HIM,"I pleaded. Noah laughed as I said this almost taunting him.

"Oh and one more thing,"he said as he looked at Noah. He came at Noah punching him straight in the face. I gasped as Noah fell back from his seat unable to fight back. Paul stormed out slamming the door shut as he shook his arm. I grabbed onto my head as I gasped for air. I ran to Noah as he tried to get up.
