Back To Us (sequel to Enemies In Love)

5: The fun hasn't even started!

Y/n POV

"C'mon baby, I wanna see you" Noah wines.

"But I can't, Noah. You need to understand that"

"But I haven't seen you in a month"

"Its a month, not a year. I can't just leave whenever I want. I actually want to graduate"

"C'mon" he groans "I want to feel you in my arms again. I don't want to hear you through a phone, I want to hear you moaning my-"

"Well we don't always get what we want, do we?"

(I felt really awkward writing that...and I didn't even write the full thing😂man, I'm a wuss)

"You would do it for Jack"

"Noah!"

"You're not even denying it!"

"I wouldn't leave-"

"Now you're denying it"

"Would you let me speak for once?!"

"No! Whatever comes out of that little mouth of yours is bullshit!" Noah yelled "I don't even get why you're not over him. He dumped your pathetic ass"

"Why is it every time we talk, you bring up Jack and accuse me of-"

"Accuse you of what? Huh?"

"If you would let me speak, I could tell you what"

"Well, I can't even believe you half the time with your bullshit, so why should I listen?"

"And why should I stay with you?"

"I don't know! I'm only with you because you're gullible. I can do anything I want with you if I just tell you the right things" he spoke lower "just like that night at my place"

"You didn't convince me to have sex with you, you forced me" I bit my lip, trying to hold the tears in.

"Doesn't mean I can't convince Ms. Gullible to do it again"

"So you're just using me?"

"Were you not listening?" Noah snapped "I couldn't care less if you broke up with me right here, right now. I'll just find another pathetic girl to mess around with"

A tear fell, followed by another as the memories came flooding back. That whole night. That whole year. I wasted my senior year of high school with him. The endless fights. The non-stop, hurtful comments. The way him and his friends talked and looked at me.

"Why don't you go do that. Find another girl to mess with. We're done"

I was about to hang up before Noah's voice stopped me.

"It doesn't work like that, sweetheart. I said I wouldn't care, not that I would let you. We're not done yet. The fun hasn't even started!"

He hangs up. I fall to my knees, leaning against the bed while endless sobs escape me. Mia, thankfully, wasn't here. She was at her little brothers birthday, who didn't live too far away from here.

Its only been a month here and I already want to go home and see my family. Mark. My dad. My brothers grave. All my friends. They would help me.

But I cant tell them.

Mark would get insanely mad, my dad would definitely kill Noah, Zoe would just tell me "Told ya so!".

I missed them. They knew how to make me feel better by just a single word.

A small ding lit up my phone. I sit up and grab it from off the bed. I smile instantly when I read who the message was from.

Jack
Skype?

I reply quickly, sit on my bed, and open my laptop. I was about to click the call button when I saw he called me first.

"Hey!" Jacks cheerful voice called.

"Hey" I smile, noticing that I look terrible. My face is red and my eyes are bloodshot and puffy. My face is still a little wet and I'm one hundred percent sure he noticed.

I wipe my face dry and look at the worried look on Jacks face.

"Are you crying?" He asks, his voice soft and his eyes full of worry.

"Uh" I sigh "I-I don't really want to talk about it" I spoke quietly, staring at my hands in my lap.

"Y/n-" I cut him off.

"Can we please change the subject?"

He nods.

"I would've called earlier but Raina wouldn't let me go" Jack chuckles. The mention Raina made my stomach drop.

"You two seem pretty happy"

"Yeah" he sighs "so how are you and Noah? He good to you?"

No

"Yeah, he-uh, he's great" I fake a smile.

"Thats good"

No. No its not.

"So how are you and Raina?"

"We're good. Shes getting really stressed about some report thats due next week"

"Well I wish her the best of luck" I fake a smile. She still gets on my nerves.

"Noah is trying to get me to visit him already. I can't just leave college whenever I want. He was a little upset about that"

His face dropped. He looked anywhere but his screen. I looked down to my hands, wondering how long this silence would last. It was killing me. Did I say something wrong?

"Do you think we could visit each other one day?" Jack spoke quietly, looking unsure of himself.

My thoughts go back to Noah. If he finds out I visited him, let alone started talking to him again, who knows what he'll do. We've been fighting more than usual and I'm scared to find out if he gets worse with me or not. The arguments are getting worse so theres a possibility that his abusive side will too. And I don't want to find out.

"I-I don't think thats a good idea" I glance at him, only seeing sadness and understanding in his eyes.

"Right. Sorry"

"Hey jackie! James needs us down at the police station again" a male said from Jacks side.

"What did he do this time?!"

"Brandon said he was drunk and he ran outside naked" the male laughed.

"Fine" Jack groaned "hey, Y/n I gotta go. Call you later?"

"Oh" the male stepped into view and smirked "so this is Y/n"

I wave awkwardly.

"I'm Alex, this dudes roommate" Alex leaned over to Jack "dude, how could you let her go?"

"Gotta go!" Jack yelled, slamming his laptop shut.

What just happened?
