*Noah’s POV*
As I stepped out of Ciaras flat I started to hear shrieking and immediately I turn back to see what happened. I hear another shriek and then some talking. Instead of leaving then I put my ear up to the door to hear what’s going on.
“Noah likes you!! I saw you two holding hands! And I saw that kiss he he gave you!”
Kiss? What kiss? I suddenly realize that Ciara was talking about the kiss I gave Iz on the forehead. Wait… Ciara thinks I like Izzy?
“I barley know him! He can’t like me after a day!”
“Iz, remember it hasn’t been a day for him it’s been years.”
“Well how did he act when we were friends?”
“For years we were all just friends, but around grade eight, which was out last year together, he started acting like that”
What does she mean by that? Kissing Iz’s forehead? I had been doing that for the last year we were all together, it comforted her. And it comforted me to know it calmed her. But that doesn’t mean I like her, does it?
I mean…I do. But does it matter? Nope, cause she barley knows me.
*Izzy’s POV*
Shortly after Noah left, I decided to head back to my house. I started to think about what Ciara said, about Noah liking me. Maybe I like him too. He just… he calms me, I feel safe with him.
As I walk up the front steps of my house I grab my keys and unlock my door. Suddenly I decide I need to see if I have any old pictures. I set down my things and run up to my closet in my room, grabbing as many old boxes as I can. I open my first box, and start my search. After a few pictures I see a picture of me from around 4th grade hugging a dark hair boy. Gently setting it aside I look for more.
At the end of my search I have large size of pictures with this boy, and Ciara, the boy, and me. But the last one was the best. It showed our 8th grade graduation. Ciara was on one side of me, the boy who I figure is Noah on the other. Noah has his arm wrapped around my waist and Ciara has her arm around me. We are all smiling and embracing each other. And suddenly I remember that day.
*Flashback*
As I pull up to my school I see Noah and Ciara waiting for me. Ciara is in the dress she got when I got mine and Noah is a black dress shirt and dark jeans with his beanie. I walked up and gave them both a hug before we went in to meet with the rest of our class. Noah grabs my waist and leans over to me.
“You look beautiful Isabelle”
I start giggling
“Thank you. I love your beanie.”
We both laugh and finally get to where our class is. We get through the ceremony, and I walk outside to meet with my two best friends. I spot Ciara and call her over to a less crowded area. We started talking about high school and other random things. Suddenly I feel arms from behind me, and I am being picked up and spun around. When I am back on my feet I turn to see Noah smiling at me.
I give him a big hug and he wraps his arms around my body and whispers in my ear.
“I’m going to miss you so much Isabelle”
It’s right then I start tearing up. I have to accept the fact he is leaving us. But it’s just so hard. I can’t look at him and think it’s gonna be ok when he leaves. I have too many memories, to many years, to many feelings…
*End of Flashback*
I sat and just cried. I wept for the pain I felt, the time I forgot, and for now remembering my last day with him. I decided I need to talk to him. I quickly run down the stairs and grab my phone from the table I left it on.
*ring ring*
“Please pick-up”
*ring ring*
“Please…pick-up…”
*ring ri-*
“Hello?”
I quickly sniffle and answer
“Hi Noah…”
“Isabelle? Are you crying? Is everything ok?”
“Umm…yeah. Well actually no. it’s not”
“Are you ok? Do you want me to come over?”
“sigh… yeah, that would be great”
“Ok, umm, where do you, uh, live?”
I quickly gave him my address and simple directions to get to my house and hung up. After that, I just sat and waited.
*Noah’s POV*
As soon as I heard Iz crying I knew I had to go over. I quickly tell Alex I have to leave before running out to get to Izzy’s house. Suddenly I realized I have my skate board in Jordan’s house, so I run back in, grab, and then take off. As I near her address, I get of my skate board and run up.
I run up her front steps and knock on the door. Almost immediately Iz opens the door and collapses into my arms sobbing. I pick her up and carry her inside gently setting her down on her couch. I place my fingers under her chin lifting her face to meet mine. Wiping her tears away I decide to speak up.
“Hey… what's with the tears?”
“I…I remember *sniffle* that last day in eighth grade”
Immediately I remember it, my last day with her. I remember seeing the pain in her eyes. I remember the pain I felt when I was leaving her. I remember the love I felt for her.
“You…you do?”
“Yeah… I was going through some old pictures and… I kept seeing this little boy who was always with me *sniffles* and then I saw a graduation picture. It was me and Ciara, and that boy, but he was older now and he had his arm around my waist. And I knew right then that boy was you. Same look, same goofy smile, same hair…”
She looks up at me with a slight smile, and I wait for her to continue.
“And then, I remembered that day. Right up until you told me you would miss me. It broke me, to feel that pain. I realized how much you meant and now mean to me.”
“Oh Isabelle, you have no clue how much you mean to me, it killed me when I left. I promise I will never leave you again.”
She leans into me resting her head in the crook of my neck. I wrap my arms around her and kiss her head.
“Do you want me to stay tonight?”
“You know what Noah? That would be amazing.”
She adjusts herself so she is laying on my chest and turns on the T.V. I wrap her securely in my arms and watch as she dozes off. I follow not much later.
