Confrontation and Explanation 1

Her hands scuttled through the glossy wooden drawers, picking up just about anything and throwing it in a lavender colored duffel bag. Noelle finished off the bag by placing her toothbrush and makeup bag on the pile of clothes. Zipping the bag up, she tried to suppress any feelings of anything that poked at her mind.

'I'm doing it,' was a recurring thought in her busy mind. Her parents and her brothers were gone, all out on their daily school and work adventures and Noelle easily "drove to school" and drove right back when her mother and father were both out and the kids were at school. She was fed up with everything from her parents "divorce" to his secret affair with Noelle's own 17 year old friend and now her mother's pregnancy. She heard them fighting too and her mother said how she's moving out with all the kids and Noelle decided to take matters into her own hands. With her bag packed and her phone and wallet on her side, she was ready.

Ten minutes later, she was pulling her car into a familiar driveway. One she felt disgusted pulling into, but this time there weren't mysterious cars, but only his car. Charlie's car. The house was the same. Not like Noelle expected anything different. Charlie probably wasn't even shaken up about Noelle discovering his secret, but she hadn't spoken to him so she wasn't sure. She left the bag in the car and made way to his sealed up door. If it wasn't for his car, she would've thought he made the shocking decision to attend school for once in his life.

She invited herself in, pushing the door open and being invited by his exposed body in the kitchen.

"Oh my God!" she shrieked when she rounded the corner to his open kitchen where he rummaged through the drawers. He didn't seem the least startled and didn't bother to cover up his manhood.

"Nothing you haven't seen before," he brought his eyes to her face. She rolled her eyes, remembering how much of a douchebag he could be.

"Yeah and I'm not the only one," she retorted. He didn't say anything and hardly reacted. After a silent minute, Noelle walked over to him. "What the hell was that?" she asked, regarding what happened when she came by. His cockiness and pride died down.

"I have to explain."
