Nochelle - Why me?

Chapter 9 - Truth

Richelle's POV

I've been waiting for Noah since he said that we would talk later. Its not like theres not much to do in here. But wierdly, the number of furniture seems to increase everyday i wake up and the food had gotten a bit nicer. There's a bit more of a variety now, compared to a few days ago. A week on here feels like forever. It hasn't even been a week but only four days but still. I miss the studio alot, when i'm not dancing it feels as if a big part of me were missing. I guess i'm just attached to TNS since i've been dancing there practically my whole life. As im lost in my own world of thoughts, i hear the door squeak as it opens. I turn my head to see Noah, i smile as he walks in.

"Hey" he says gently

"Hey, look we need to dicuss alot of things" i say, i wanted to get to the point and fast

"Ok, what do you want to talk about?, ask me anything"

"Why would you do this is me?" I ask and he seems a bit hurt by my question

"Richelle, i never wanted to do this to you. Its because im being..forced." He says, wringing his hands

"Forced! By who?!?" I ask

Noah's POV

"Richelle, i never wanted to do this to you. Its because im being..forced" i say. I'm not supposed to speak about this but i know that Richelle deserves answers and i can trust her with anything.

"Forced! By who!?!" She ask with a look of worry and concern written all over her face. No one really new Richelle like I did. People often misjudge Richelle. She just likes being honest and like to express her opinions in her own way.

"Richie, if I tell you this you can't tell anyone ok?" I say clearly while Richelle nods her head quickly, eager for answers.

"It's my dad. I thought you would have figured it out by now"

"But..you're dad's dead right?"

"No he's not. I had to keep it a secret from everyone. If people found out.. Let's just say It wouldn't end well"

"Oh Noah!" She says hugging me tightly to comfort me 

"But why!?, he's you're father? Why would he do this?"

"Richie, not everyone has the perfect family and unfortunately I'm one of those people. My father is connected to Elite in a way. Ever since Miss.Kate asked me to audition for A-Troupe is when all this drama started. I guess I didn't know I had more family other than my mom and myself. When my dad found out about my chances o get onto A-Troupe he kind of mysteriously showed up and..and.." I hesitate and I feel a lump forming in my throat. This was a touchy subject and I didn't talk about it with anyone.

"He has my mom"

Richelle's POV

"He has my mom" My eyes widen and i gasp at the sound of the news. How could he be so cruel?  I quickly pull in Noah for a hug seeing he was on the verge of tears. 

"Its ok, you dont need to tell me more" i say soflty. I didnt want him to go through with telling me everything if he wasnt ready. As his girlfriend, i need to respect his decisions and thats what im going to do. 

I gentely stroke his hair while we hug. I can feel his tears falling on my shoulders. After a minute or two, Noah pulls away to look at his watch. His face instantly changes into shock as he looks at it. 

"Its nearly 6!!, i have to go" He exclaims

"Its ok. I understand" i say. Great. Alone..again.

He kisses my forehead and says "i promise Richelle. I'll get you out of here" and runs back out the door and closing it behind him.
