Chapter 16 - Sick in the head

Noah's POV

"How'd you know I was gay?" Blake asked, as we walked down the street in the dark,

"I could just sense it" I told him, he laughed,

"So it wasn't obvious then?"

"No, it wasn't obvious, don't worry Blake...my sister thought you were cute by the way" I said smiling,

"She did" He said surprised,

"Don't sound so surprised, you are super-hot Blake"

"Thanks" he smiled "So where you from? If you don't mind me asking"

"Somewhere up north, you won't know where it is so I won't bother telling you, I'm not being rude"

"So I'm guessing you didn't know Cirencester before you came here?"

"I didn't know it even existed, then again, geography has never been my a strong subject of mine" he laughed,

"No one ever does" we then went silent and just was happy in each other's company.

We ended up sat on a bench under a streetlight. It was cold, but we were huddled up together. I really felt comfortable in his company. He was easy to talk too and very funny. He's 23 and lives in a flat with a mate and is trying to save enough money to go travelling. I told him that I'd go with him.

"Really" he said surprised,

"We're going to go our separate ways Blake, unfortunately, but if we promise to meet again when we have enough money to go travelling together, then I'll see you again,"

"Seal it with a kiss?" He said, I leant in and we embraced in a warm passionate kiss. How I wish that I could have stayed in his lips.

"Noah, what the fuck is this?" I froze, my heart beating wildly. We both pulled away. Oscar was stood there, under the streetlight, in his police uniform, eyes burning evil and full of hatred,

"Do you want me to stay? Do you know him?" Blake asked, slipping something in my pocket, but I didn't feel him doing so.

"You move your ass before I arrest you" my heart was racing, Blake looked at me, about to say something, I know he had conflicted feelings about what to do, "Now before I make you," he squeezed my hand and then left. Oscar came over, yanking me up,

"Oscar stop, what are you doing?" I said, he slapped me round my face, I cried out in shock,

"Are you cheating on me?" He snarled,

"We're not even together, what's wrong with you?" I said, my voice shaking, he punched me and I fell to the ground, "What are you doing?" I trembled spitting out blood,

"You're mine Noah, your mine" he hauled me up and then hit me again and again and again.

My face was bloody and sore.

"I'm sorry Noah, but you have to learn" he began to kick me in the stomach a few times and then helped me up and hugged me. It wasn't like I was in any state to push him away. He stroked my hair,"I love you Noah," He kissed the top of my head and wrapped his arms around me, helping me walk.

I didn't realise we were in a car, until I must've came round, head banging, I rubbed it, blood covering my hand,

"I'm dropping you at the travel lodge okay baby"

"How'd...how'd you know I was staying here?" I managed to say, he didn't say anything. My heart was going mad, as was the pain in my head and stomach, I breathed, and it hurt. I wanted to cry. The car soon came to a halt,
