"What did he just say?" Noah asks me and I feel my stomach flipping.

"It was nothing, Noah," I said and stepped close to him.

"Did he say that he kissed you?" He asks. He's still calm right now.

"Noah, it was nothing, don't worry," I tell him.

"So, does that mean it was true? You did kiss?" He asks, still calm.

"Well, yes, but it wasn't like the kisses we have," I tel him.

"What? You're not lying? I just made you my girlfriend and you kissed somebody else?" He says and his voice cracks in the middle.

"Noah, c'mon, it wasn't like that," I tell him.

"What was it like?" He asks, his tone suddenly angrier.

"It was just a kiss, and we weren't even together," I say, beginning to panic. I can't lose Noah after I jut got him.

"Oh, so it was before I met you," he says. Relief clear in his voice.

"Well, no," I say.

"So, you cheated on Zayn with two guys?" He asks, his voice a mix of anger and confusion.

"No," I run my hands through my hair.

"Well what happened then?" His anger is growing again.

"I, we went bowling one night and he won, so.." I start to tell him.

"So, what?" He angrily nudges me to continue. I've only seen him angry like this the day Zayn beat up Logan.

"So I kissed him," I spit out.

"You went bowling with him after we started dating!" He shouts and I jump back.

"We weren't official yet," I say somewhat quietly.

"Did you think that we were never going to be?! You kissed another guy and that means that you were interested in somebody else at the same time as me!" He says and throws the door open to storm out.

"I was not!" I shout back and follow him.

"Then why the fuck were you kissing another guy?!" He shouts and slams his fist into the good of his car. It looks like it hurt, but his expression doesn't change.

".. Are you okay?" I ask and grab his hand. He jerks it back and throws open his car door.

"I'm fine!" He shouts and climbs in.

"No, you're not," I say but he closes the door in my face. The windows are still down.

"I said I'm fine!" He says and shoves the key into the ignition.

"Are you still going to drive me home?" I ask. He rolls his eyes and stares at the passenger seat to think for a few seconds.

"Fuck! Fine, get in," he shouts and I do as he says.

When I get in I fasten my seatbelt and he pulls out of the parking lot.

"I really didn't mean to hurt you," I say and play with the collar of my work polo.

"Then why did you do it?" He asks angrily.

"I don't know! He asked me to and I thought it would be ok at the time!" I say and my voice cracks. I hope I don't cry.

"If he asks you to jump off a fucking bridge will you fucking do it?" He shouts.

"You sound like my mother," I roll my eyes and pull off my visor.

"Shea, I really fucking like you, and you kissed another fucking guy and I'm pissed!" He says. I've never heard him swear so much. If course I've heard him swear, we're teenagers, but I've never heard him do it so angrily and concentrated into one sentence.

"Noah, pleas relax," I say and put my hand on his knee. His jaw unclenches.

"Shea, I can't do this again," he says.

"You don't have to do it! It was just a peck on the lips and I didn't feel anything! It wasn't like when I kiss you, it really wasn't," and I begin to cry.

"Shea, stop crying," he says, anger still slightly in his tone, and takes his right arm off of the steering wheel to wrap around my shoulders.

"I'm sorry," I say and wipe my tears with the back of my hand.

"I just don't want to lose you," I admit and hear him sigh.

"Then why did you kiss Niall?" He asks quietly and calmly.

"Because I'm an idiot and I didn't think it would risk anything between you and I," I admit.

"Look, I'm not going to break up with you," he says and I look at him. He takes his arm off of me to turn into his driveway.

"You're not?" I ask surprised.

"No, I will fucking murder him if he touches you again, but I don't want to break up with you," he says somewhat playfully and smiles. I smile and wipe off the rest of my tears.

"He won't touch me, I promise," I say and pull his head to mine for a kiss. It was only a peck but it was so much better than the peck with Niall in ways that I can't explain.

"C'mon, let's go unside," he says and we get out of the car.

When we walk into Noah's house Jared is on the floor playing with Lux while Logan eats a sandwich on the couch.

"Hey Shea!" Jared says and looks at me.

"Hey, I see you met Lux," I say and sit down next to him. Lux rolls a ball over to me.

"I have," he says and looks up and my face then furrows his eyebrows.

"Have you been crying?" He whispers.

"I was, I'm ok now," I say and give him a reassuring smile. He smiles and hugs me.

"Good," he says in the sweetest voice.

He is the coolest eleven year old I've ever known.
