If Tomorrow Doesn't Come

Chapter Eleven: Catch Me If You Can

Haley's P.O.V

I woke up surrounded by warmth and the smell of a strong cologne that wasn't half bad. Shifting from my left side to my right I realized I was cuddled up against Noah. I smiled as his hair softly fell against his forehead and he tightened his hold around me when I moved again. For someone who was suppose to be a serial killer he sure didn't look nor seem like one. Looking down at my watch I saw that it was 3 a.m. and I knew immediately that if my dad was home we was freaking out. I know that I texted him that I was with Brittany but I hadn't filled her in on my plan. Knowing my dad he called her to check on me when I didn't answer my phone when he called.

Crap! my phone where is it? 

I gently rolled my way out of Noah's arms trying my hardest not to wake him. Making my way across the room I grabbed my sweater and pulled my phone from its pocket.

"Everything already?" Noah asked now standing up beside is bed with worry plastered on his face.

"No, yeah , I was just checking my phone I've got a few miss calls from Britt and my Dad."

"Oh, I hope bringing you here isn't going to get you in any trouble."

"It probably will but what my dad doesn't know won't hurt him right?" I tried making this into a joke but like all my others it fail miserably. Even though I thought the joke sucked Noah still laughed lightly at it.

"Well in that case maybe I should get you home?" He suggested but I frowned in response. I didn't really want to go home. I liked being around him I just felt so safe and secure. 

"No I want to stay, I'll come up with some reason why I wasn't home or at Britt's."

"Wait are we sneaking around? because if we are we should at least make things a bit official don't you think?" 

Smiling like an complete idiot I knew that he was right. I mean if I was going to be keeping him a secret their might as well be an actual secret to keep.

"Are you asking me to be your girlfriend Windsor?" I asked sheepishly putting my phone down on his desk.

"Yes I am, but, are we using last names now? I didn't get that memo Summers." 

"Well yes I would love to be your girlfriend and yeah I tend to call people by their last names." I replied laughing. Turning my head only for a moment and then back in front of me Noah had been standing so close that if I moved nothing more then an inch we'd be touching. 

"I've been wanting to do this for a while..." He spoke so quietly but still loud enough for me to hear him. His cool breath brushed against my skin as he leaned down softly pressing his lips to mine. For a moment I froze but it didn't take long for me to return the kiss. Wrapping my arms around his neck I deepened the kiss and pulled my heated body to his cold one. I swear it felt like we had been kissing for hours but in reality it was only minutes.

"Whoa whoa what is this?" A voice broke out kiss and I stepped back wiping my lips in embarrassment. "Finally my little brother is getting some."

"Milo I'm not getting anything now leave" Noah said in a flat tone. Milo stood in the doorway with his arms crossed over his huge muscled chest.

"Well someone is a little angry aren't that?" 

"Milo leave!"

"Look before you get all pushy hear me out..." Milo said putting his hands up in defense. " I need your help."

"With what?" Noah asked making his way to his desk where he say down. I figured this conversation would take awhile so I sat down on the bed and stayed quite.

"What do you know about Hartford witches?" Milo asked leaning against the opposite side of the desk Noah was sitting in.

"Uh, not much just that they originated in Europe but traveled for awhile until they finally settled here in the 1600's" Noah said leaning back in his seat. "Why?"

"Well there's one here Beckon Hills and I kind of sort of pissed her off."

"What's new Milo? what do you need my help with?"

"Killing her, she cast a binding spell me linking me to a very much dead man and if you put two and two together-" He started but Noah stopped him.

"They you'll die when dies isn't that a surprise" Noah stated getting up and running his fingers through his hair.

"I vote let him die what do you think Haley?" Kendall's voice chimed in from the door and I frowned at her very being. Did none of these people sleep? "Thanks for having a family meeting and not inviting me."

"No invited you because it's not a meeting."

"Oh Noah, you're so smart and independent and I get it that makes you you but the very thing that makes you who you are is the very thing that's going to get you killed."

"Kendall save it alright? I'm going to help him because I've learned something in the last five minutes."

"Yeah and what's that?"

Yeah what's that?" Milo asked shortly after Kendall.

"That you guys are my family it's obvious that no matter how hard I try to get rid of you it just isn't going to work so I'd rather help you and embrace your very existence than try ignoring you and have you two be a bother to me." Noah stated simply. In some ways I was proud of him because If I were in his shoes I'd tried to kill them both.

"Great to who are we killing first?" Kendall asked looking her nails and then to her brothers.

"I don't think you guys are going about this the right way I mean I know I know nothing about what it is you guys do or how you do it but do you honestly think trying to kill her is the answer?" I asked curiously.

"And she speaks." Kendall said rolling her eyes.

"You're right going after her will only frighten her causing her to retaliate and we don't need that look what's already happened" Noah replied looking at me. I smiled at him being a little happy that maybe I could actual help.

"Screw that she put a binding spell on me I'm going to rip her throat out!" Milo nearly shouted standing up straight from the desk. Just as he stood up straight he bend over at the waist yelping in pain and palling to his knees.

"Milo!" Noah called out from his brother as he dropped down beside him to see what was wrong. "What's wrong?"

"I don't know I just got a sharp pain in my side, I feel like someones scratching at my skin" He said pulling his shirt up earning a gasp from Kendall and I. Right on his rib cage his skin had been nearly popping of from is place. It looked as if someone had been actually trying to claw their way out of his body and Noah jumped back.

"There's a person in you?!" He said not really sure what he was seeing.

"Get them out!" Milo breathed falling over onto his back.

"I can't just rip you open without knowing what the hell is going on."

"Do it!" 

"No!" Noah shouted having the last word. I couldn't believe my eyes at all ,I've never seen anything like this before and I becoming more then freaked out.

"Is he going to die?" I asked stupidly palming my own forehead at the sound of my own question.

"Does it look like he's going to be okay?" Kendall asked now at her brother side.

"I was just asking a question I-" I started but she cut me off.

"We don't have time for your questions make yourself useful and go downstairs and grab a blood bag from the fridge" she demanded and as much as I didn't want to take orders from a bitch like her I complied. I didn't want Milo's death to be on my hands all because I didn't listen and get something as simple as a blood bag.
