Would You Say I'm Worthy? (Sequel to So Will You Wait Me Out?)

Are you cheating?...

Noah's POV: *I stood up from the chair in the corner of Violet's hospital room to stretch. I watched as Violet stirred in her sleep.* Vi? You awake?

Violet: *Groggily rubbing the sleep from her eyes.* Quiet voices please. My head is pounding.

Noah: *Quietly this time.* We need to talk.

*A small knock could be heard behind the door and her doctor entered the room.*

Doctor: *She grabbed her chart and read it to herself.* Hi Miss Violet. Glad to see you're awake. How are we feeling?

Violet: Like I was hit by a train.

Doctor: That's totally understandable. Your body has been through something really traumatic and it needs time to heal. Those medications I prescribed should ease off the pain. May I? *She pointed to the cast that wrapped around Violet's broken leg.*

Violet: Have at it.

*She examines her cast and ensures everything is in place before speaking up again.*

Doctor: Well, everything looks great. I think you're ready to be discharged. I'll go ahead and get the paperwork started.

*She disappeared down the hall.*

Noah: *I smile and made my way to her bedside.* You hear that? We get to go home.

Violet: *She offers me a half smile that eventually fades.* You were going to tell me something...

Noah: *My smile faded with hers and my expression darkened.* Are you cheating on me with Folio? Tell the truth. If you don't I'll end up finding out either way.

*The color drained from Violet's face.*

Violet: No, Noah I am not cheating on you.

*I searched her eyes for a hint of nervousness or something that would have told me she's lying.*

Noah: But I feel like there's something you aren't telling me.

Violet: *Annoyed.* Like what?

Noah: *My patience was wearing thin. I glare at her, my eyes unforgiving.* You tell me.

Violet: *She sighs heavily before sitting up in her bed.* Okay. I'll tell you the truth.

*My eyes softened with curiosity as I waited for her to say more.*

Violet: Folio...is in love with me.

Noah: What did you just fucking say?

Violet: Noah, please. This isn't the time nor place.

Noah: *Anger bubbled inside of me. I could feel my skin growing hot.* You tell me that my best friend is in love with my future wife and I'm supposed to what? Smile? Hug and fucken kiss you like I just heard the best news of my life? You're joking.

Violet: *She brushed me off.* Okay, you're doing too much. We'll discuss this later.

Noah: * I stood from my place, towering over her.* You're so fucked when we get home. The things I'm going to do to you.

Violet: Noah, please. It's not my fault!

Noah: No. You're pissing me the fuck off and I'm done. Your ass is mine.
