You Can't Love Him

36

"Noah's back."

Instantly at those words, memories of last night flooded my memory. I knew it was him. My heart beat speeds up. He's really back.

"So it was real! I did see him last night!" I exclaim.

"You saw him and didn't tell us!" Will exclaims! Soon everyone was looking at me shocked. The tension in the room was so strong.

"I didn't know if it was real. Someone mixed my drink and I thought I was just hallucinating because of it." I shrug. I'm trying to stay calm about that.

"Well, we are going to have to figure out where he is staying. He isn't at his aunts house. Did you talk to him at all?" Will asks.

"He ran from me." I frown. He said my name and then ran from me. He didn't want me to know he was there. Though that's kind of dumb to go to a party your ex-girlfriend and friends might be at. Dumb on his part.

"Why wouldn't he tell us he was back?" Collin asks.

"Maybe he doesn't want to talk to us anymore." I shrug.

"Don't think like that!" Will growls.

"Sorry." I apologize. He must be freaking out.

"Alright, let's make a plan to find him." Jocelyn demanded. It takes a few minutes before we come up with a plan. It seems like our problem solving skills have gone up.

"Okay so E, Aaron, and I will take one car and you guys take the other." Will and Collin nod and quickly leave the apartment.

"Alright so we are checking where first?" I ask.

"We can check his Aunts house. It wouldn't hurt to check even though I'm pretty sure he won't be there."Jocelyn suggests. I shrug. Like she said, it wouldn't hurt.

"I want to drive," Aaron doesn't even give us time to argue before grabbing the keys and jumping over the couch. He quickly runs out of the flat.

"Your boyfriend is weird." I laugh.

"Yea but I still love him." She laughs.

"Let's go." We meet Aaron in the car and he already has it running.

It didn't take long until we arrive at Noah's aunts house. I noticed his truck wasn't here so in guessing he isn't here. Non of us thought he would be. It would be too predictable.

"He might be inside. You ready to go in?" Aaron asks.

"I guess, but if that bitch tried anything I'm not afraid to slap a b-"

"Let's go." I quickly open the door and jump out of the car. The others follow behind. We all stand on the porch waiting for one of us to knock.

"Ugh I'll do it." Jocelyn groans. She hits her fist against the door making a very loud noise. It didn't take long until the door swung open.

"Can I help- oh it's you guys. What do you want?" Noah's Aunt glares at us.

"Is Noah here?" Aaron asks.

"No he's in Australia. Now leave." She goes to shut the door but I place my foot in the way.

"He's back. Do you know where he could have gone?" I question.

She glares at me and then sighs. "He could be at the bar. He used to go there after school. Now will you leave." I nod and pull my foot away. I turn around and walk back to the car. To the bar we go.
