Noah's POV

"Mom called."

Noah's words echoed through my head, repeating itself as if he's saying it over and over again but in reality he's just standing silently in front of me. Our expression mirroring each other.

Mom.

The woman who gave birth to me and took care of me most of my life. But also the woman who left.

"Wh.. what did she say?" I asked.

He sighed and ran a hair through his hair, "She's coming for our birthday."

3 weeks.

Our birthday is in 3 weeks.

We're going to meet our mother in 3 weeks, our mother who we haven't seen or heard from in 4 years.

"Why all of a sudden she's coming back?" I asked. "I thought she forgot about us already." I laughed bitterly.

To be honest, I loved and adored my mother when I was a kid. I still do. But I just have this pain inside me because she had the guts to leave and not even say anything.

Noah sighed again, "I don't know Nolan, I don't know."

I didn't know what to feel. Excited? Angry?

Of course I had the rights to be angry at her, in the same time I'm also excited to see her.

Is her face different from the last time I saw her? Will her reddish brown hair be as long? Or will her hazel eyes be as bright and full of life?

Noel's POV

I feel something different towards Nolan. I feel like I'm starting to develop feelings towards him and that's wrong.

Very wrong.

Obviously because I'm with Adrian and he's with Jazz. I'm not saying that I don't have feelings for Adrian or anything like that. He's a really great guy and he's very understanding and caring.

But when I'm with Nolan I just feel a certain comfort that no one has ever given to me before.

I feel safe with him.

Especially after I told him everything, I feel like a weight has been lifted from my chest.

And I expected him to look me in a different way, but he didn't.

Once I got home, I took a shower and picked up a book to read. It helps me take my mind off things.

I think after a few chapters of reading, I dozed off to sleep.
