Noah

Unexpected

She started fiddling with her fingers.
And then I heard the thing that should have made me more than happy but the only thing I felt was guilt.
"I think I like you"
My breath hitched and my heart tightened.
I kept staring at her not knowing what to say or do until my vision became a little blurry with unshed tears but I kept it in. Am sure she saw the change in my eyes because she shifted her gaze and then returned it.
I bit my bottom lip and averted my gaze and looked down with a sigh. She slowly nodded but I could see pain in her eyes. As if she was trying to keep it all in but isn't succeeding. I hate to hurt her.
Maybe I should have stayed away when I noticed that I had feelings for her. One thing was clear tho, I don't regret my feelings for her.
I don't regret spending time with her as if we are the only ones who exist.

"Angel I..." I tried to complete my sentence but ended up sighing instead.
"It's ok Noah" she said with a pained smile and my heart shattered when I saw her tears swaming her eyes but she was fighting against them.
"Angel am really sorry"
She laughed a little. "No it's fine really" she sighed
"I just...I just thought that I wasn't the only one... who felt the sparkles when we first met" she continued. "But it's fine I understand" she said.
"Am sorry it's just that ... I dont know if I feel the same way" I muttered the last part. She did hear me.
"Yeah"
"Can you give me some time please" I said and she nodded. I don't know why I said that because I'll turn eighteen tomorrow and eventually find out who my mate is and I fear they'll be no time.

We got engulfed in an uncomfortable silence and I stopped the translation. Neither of us seemed to be concentrating on the movie. We were lost in our own world. Our popcorn and sodas were now untouched.

After about five minutes, she broke the silence.
"I'm gonna go use the restroom" she said and got up but also took along her bag.
"Why are you taking your bag?" I asked.
"Oh girl stuff" she said with a smile and I nodded.

I resumed watching the movie or more like resumed my train of thoughts.

It's been like ten minutes since angel was gone and I was getting worried now. Nobody told me girls stuff took that long. I decided to give her some time but I was growing worried every single minute.
Now it's been twenty minutes and I decided that it was enough now.
I got up and packed everything before going to where I supposed was the girls restroom.
I made my way there and some girls were giving me the look. Not that I cared because I was worried about Angel.

I knocked on the door of the restroom but didn't dare go in to check the stalls. "Angel are you there!" I shouted but there was no response.
The door opened and a girl came out giving me a suspicious look. "Umm excuse me? Is anybody else in there?" I asked her but she shook her head.
How is that possible?"

I rushed back to where we were but no one was here.
I ran outside and asked the theatre assistant about her and since we were the only ones, he recognized her. "Excuse me sir have you seen the girl I came here with?" I asked him and he thought for a while.
"Umm yeah she left like thirty minutes ago" he replied.
"What! She left!" I yelled and he was shocked. "How did she look when she was going". I asked again.
"She looked like she was crying kinda I asked if she was ok but she didn't reply"
Oh shit. I rushed out and immediately hopped into the car and drove off in the heavy rain.
Oh no what have I done. I just hope she didn't actually walk and took a cab. It was even starting to get dark.
I reached the house and parked the car before going in the house where I saw what blowed my mind.

Angel was sitting on the couch with a heavy blanket around her and she was shivering like crazy. While the guys were around her and Jane was feeding her soup. My heart tightened at the sight but I was also mad very mad.
"Oh Noah your her.." I cut mark off by saying. "Angel! Why the heck did you run off like that?!" I practically yelled while stomping to where she was.
The guys frowned and Allias stood up to hold me back. "Whoa whoa whoa calm down don't you see how she is shivering" he said.
"What do you mean, if she hadn't run off like that it wouldn't have happened" ok that was harsh.
"Why do you even care?" She whispered but I heard that clearly. I looked at her questioningly.
"What do you mean by why do I care?!" I asked.
The guys sensed something was wrong.
