Bring me the light

Chapter 18

"Maybe it's not always about trying to fix something broken. Maybe it's about starting over and creating something better."

Chapter 18: If I end up in prison bring me Nutella.

He pulled away just a little and cupped my face on his hands using his thumbs to wipe the tears. "You shouldn't be scared of me princess. I would never, ever, do anything to hurt you. Not intentionally. I care about you way too much."

"I know. I care about you too and I like you way too much but my brain won't shut off."

"Listen to me. I know you care about me and I know you know I care about you and in my opinion that's enough. We don't have to put a name to what we are. We just are." He leaned closer and kissed my cheek. "And if I'm being honest, that way seems more fun to me than being like normal people and having a label. We don't have to have one, at least not yet."

I smiled at him, a genuine smile and I could feel those stupid butterflies in my stomach that wouldn't leave me alone for one second when I was close to him.

"You know," I chuckled trying to lighten up the mood. "If you kiss me right now, it'll be like those cliché moments."

"I would have kissed you already but I'm afraid you'll run away." He said, snaking his arm around my waist and pulling me closer with a smirk on his face.

"What if I kiss you? Will you run away?" I asked linking my arms around his neck.

"I will never leave you."

I just knew that his words held a deeper meaning and that was the last push I needed to slam my lips with his.

Now:

I don't think I have ever entered school with a bigger grin than the one I had on that morning. I felt so happy I didn't think there could be something that could make me sad. I told the girls I had to go to my locker so we parted ways and said we would meet for lunch.

I walked to my locker and saw Noah, Luke and Levi at Noah's locker. They were bickering about something and I saw Noah punch Levi's shoulder. I furrowed my eyebrows and was really curious to know what they were talking about.

Luke noticed me and walked towards me, he leaned closer and said with a chuckle. "Wipe that Cheshire cat grin off your face before they take you to a mental hospital."

I punched his arm. "Are you calling me crazy?" I hissed at him.

"Yes, and I'm also calling you and LB violent." He said rubbing his arm as if I had punched him that hard.

"LB?" I asked in confusion.

"Lover boy." He nodded towards Noah. "With a short name, I can call him that whenever and wherever I want and he won't know the meaning." He ended with a smirk.

"I can always tell him." I responded.

"You wouldn't dare." He narrowed his eyes at me but before I had a chance to answer I was pulled by my hand and slammed onto a hard chest. I looked up to meet Noah's beautiful blue eyes.

"Am I supposed to feel offended that you haven't greeted me yet?" He asked huskily.

"Hi." I said almost breathlessly.

"Not enough. I think I might need a kiss." He smirked.

"Not happening." I shook my head as I tried to free myself from his grip.

Key word- tried.

"Just a teeny tiny peck." He almost pleaded but I still shook my head.

He got closer to my ear and whispered. "I don't think you had a problem doing that last night."
