If Tomorrow Never Come

23.Safe

Noel's POV

"Hey Nolan," I called; he looked away from the movie that I was watching. It was several hours after I told him about what happened so I've calmed down. And we decided to watch a movie to keep my mind off things.

"Yeah?" He said with a small smile.

"I think I'm going home, it's pretty late." I bite in my lips.

He stood up and grabbed his keys. "Okay, I'll take you home."

"Um, it's fine I can ask gramps."

"No no he's probably tired. I need to go to target anyway to buy a couple things." He shrugged, offering me a hand.

I placed my hand in his as he helped me get up, "Where's Ella? I want to say bye."

"Nah, she's probably already asleep."

"You sure? I feel bad if I don't say bye." I explained, he gave me a knowing look.

"You need to chill, love."

I put on my coat before following Nolan to the door and into his car. The drive was pretty uneventful, we talked but thankfully he didn't bring up anything about my past.

I just need a little time from it.

Nolan parked his car in front of the house and the both of us got out of the car. "I can get in alone, I'm okay." I say to him as he opened the car door for me.

He shrugged. "Nah, I don't mind."

I nodded before getting out of the car, the cold air stinging my skin, sending shivers to my body. Even though I'm wearing a coat I still feel very cold.

"Thanks for dropping me off and um... the other thing." I said once we reached the front porch.

He smiled. "No problem, I'm always here If you need me."

I put the key inside the lock and pushed the front door open. "Hel Noel?"

I turned my body to face him again. "Yeah?"

He didn't say anything else, he just pulled me into his chest and wrapped his arms around me. At first I just let my rams fall limply by my side. But then I finally hugged him back.

Something about the hug felt calming. I don't know if it is his warmth or his scent, or the fact that his body felt so strong and.. safe.

He finally pulled away, giving me another of his sweet smile. "Bye Noel, see you soon."

I couldn't help but smile at him as I waved. "Bye Nolan." I half screamed before entering the house.

I was pretty sure y grandparents were already fast asleep so I just went up to my room

Nolan's POV

I drove away from Noel's house and through the snowy street. It was pretty late –around 8.30 PM. And I lied when I told her that I needed to buy a couple of things at target.

I felt really shocked with the fact that she told me everything about her past and all I wanted to do is make her okay again and protect her.

I swear if I ever meet that Daniel guy I will beat the shit out of him to the point where he's not conscious anymore. Because how dare him hurt Noel like that.

Without me even realizing, my grip on the steering wheel became tighter and my knuckles were turning white.

I decided to go to Noah's house, since he just dropped Ella off at my dad's house. Ella often stay at my dad's house because sometimes their house gets a little messy so Noah would clean their house while Ella and Garrett stay at dad's.

I parked my car beside Noah's black sedan. I wasn't wearing any thick coats or anything so I ran as fast as possible into the house, I tried knocking a couple of times but I just decided to get in with my key that I have before I freeze to death.

"Noah?" I called out after shutting the door.

Their house wasn't small but it wasn't a mansion either. Their house was a little messy but it just makes it feel like home.

"Noah you there?" I called again, now a little bit panicking.

Where could he be? He must be home because his car is here, it would be impossible to go on a run in the cold.

A target shopping bag was placed at the kitchen counter but no sign of Noah.

"Bro I swear if you're playing with me I'll rip your hair off." I threaten.

I went up stairs and into the master bedroom, where I found Noah sitting on the bed, his back facing me.

"Oh thank god for one second I tho-" I started but then he turned around and I saw the look on his face. His hair was a mess, eye wide and he was gripping on his phone.

"Noah, what's going on?" I asked seriously.

He bit his lips and stared down into his phone.

"Mom called."
