Noahs P.O.V

------------------------

"You don't believe your own boyfriend?" He looked me in the eye.

" I don't know what to believe anymore." I replied.

" What did he even say to you to make you think I would hurt you?" Finn tried embracing me into a hug but it didn't feel right...... I pulled away from the hug.

" Don't....touch me" I said as I pulled away. " H-how could I know if you're telling the truth? "

" How would you know If I'm not telling the truth." He started tearing up when he said that.

" I wo-" Right as I started talking again he walked out , in full tears . I saw him just walk out before my eyes. I started tearing up at this point. I made my boyfriend cry and walk out on me. What the hell am I doing. I never wanted to see him cry. I sat there. If I went to him I could have made things even worse . But not going to him made things even worse.


Seconds turned to minutes. Minutes turned to hours............. Hours turned to days. I stayed under the boardwalk waiting for him. Nothing...


" Fine. I don't care if you come back anymore." I murdered.


I walked away from the boardwalk leaving it. I'll see him eventually and then we can solve this. The right way. . . . I feel terrible. I just left him...... Didn't go after him....... Nothing. He could be over me by now. Maybe that thing I saw of Finn fading away as it turns monochrome. When I looked around all I saw was blood splattered.... From when we first kissed. Could that mean something now? That doesn't matter.


I walked back to my house . But I look straight down at my feet. I didn't want to look up in case everything flashed like before when I came to the beach 3 days ago. But when I kept looking at my feet color completely faded away. I was back to Monochrome. Did something happen to Finn? Or was this just like the other time this happened. I just messed up. Who cares about that right now , I haven't eaten anything since I left my house. I was starving. I couldn't run . I tried. It felt like something was pulling me back. I couldn't move. I just stood there. While there was a sharp pain in my stomach. I wasn't getting stabbed. Hunger took over and I couldn't do anything anymore. I looked at my hands and I could see my veins clearly. The red and blue flowing though my arms. I could only imagine what my face would look like right about now. I started walking slowly as I was near my house. Right as I was right at the door , when I grabbed my keys from my pocket I dropped them I was too weak to do anything. I tried picking them up.. But right as I did. I don't remember anything else. I just blacked out right then and there.
