XIII // Home Sweet Home...

My plane touched down in Toronto 30 minutes ago. After a night of crying on Alexanders couch with Nugget. I was sitting in an uber outside my house, staring at it. Yes just staring because I knew as soon as I walked in questions would explode on my face.

Why are you home?

Whats with the dry tears?

And If I answered Nate would go crazy. He had put so much trust in Daniel and Kelsey. Some part of me wanted them to hold onto Daniel and Kelsey a little bit longer. I sighed, louder than I had ever done before.

"You okay ma'am?" The driver asked. I look away from my house and up to the 50-year-old man. I smiled at him which he soon replied with one as well.

"Just questioning whether to get out the car," I say. He nods his head, probably adding me to the list of people who wouldn't get out the car.

"A path with no obstacles probably doesn't lead you anywhere," He chirps. He starts his car up again, signaling for me to follow the path. I smiled and nodded. My suitcase was waiting on the sidewalk because he had got it out earlier.

I grabbed my duffle bag and got out the car. I rolled my suitcase to the front door. My dad's fiancee' car was parked in the driveway beside Nate's. My hand rested on the door before knocking.

The door opens and a tall brown haired boy stands there. He chews his gum and stares at me before realizing who I was. "Noah?" He asked. I didn't know his name because I had never met my step-siblings.

"I assume you're my new brother," I say. I tried to not have a tone but I assume it did come off with one. He nods his head before allowing me into the house. He shuts the door behind me.

Everyone was sitting in the lounge watching Peter Pan. I look at the tv screen as Peter became flying across smiling. Tears began falling down my cheeks.

I sobbed loud enough for everyone to turn and notice me. Nate and Norman widen their eyes. "Noah whats wrong?!" Nate says jumping off the couch. I bring my hands to my head and fall down onto the ground. I place my head on my knees.

"Noah?!" Norman mumbles beside my ear. His arms were wrapped around me as were Nates. I just rested their crying in their arms.

My clothes were finally hung up in my closet due to the help of Katherine. I held my pink fluffy pillow in my arms as I sat on my bed. No word had fallen out of my mouth since I walked into my house.

"So what's the reason your home early and crying?" Katherine says shutting my closet doors. She sits on the end of my double bed and waits for a reply. "Noah you know Nate,"

"That's why I can't tell you guys okay," I snap. She puts her hands up in defense. I fall back on my bed as my bedroom door opens. I look up slightly to see Nate and Norman walk in. Katherine pats my leg before leaving and shutting the door behind her.

The boys stayed silent, waiting for me to speak first. I look at them and sit back up, their looks seemed so disappointed. "I called Daniel," Nate says. I widen my eyes. "'He just answered and started to repeat sorry over and over again. Then the call cut out."

I sigh of relief, "He has been trying to call us but I decided to let you tell us what has happened before I answer." He continues.

"Can you let me just soak it in for a bit. I still don't believe it all happened," I explain. Norman sits at the end of my bed. He begins taking off his slippers and falls down on my bed beside me.

"We will just wait till morning then," Norman says. He shuts his eyes and places his head on one of my pillows. Nate looks at me and nods. He leaves the room.

I lean down and grab my phone resting on the floor. I place my headphones in my ears and plug them into the phone.

My hand hovers over the lock screen, the selfie of Daniel and I by the Hollywood sign just a couple of days ago. I pull one earbud out and sigh.

"He did something didn't he, something that broke your heart," Norman mumbles. I look down at him. He stared at me with his hands by his head.

"Things get complicated after High School kid," I say. I rub his hair with my right hand.

"Pass," He says sitting up beside me. I look at him staring directly at my phone. He leans over me and grabs it out of my left hand. He unlocks it with his fingerprint.

I watch him go straight to my photos. He presses the delete button and clicks delete all photos. "Don't hold onto the past right," He says. I stare at my empty gallery.

He goes to my Instagram and takes a picture of Toronto and him and Nate. He makes the Toronto one my lock screen and his one the home screen.  He locks the phone and gives it back to me.

"New and improved mission. Mission New Noah," He smiles. I look down at Toronto on my screen. I smile.

"You need to sleep," I explain. He rolls his eyes before turning around to face my wall.

"Night Noah," He mumbles. I lock my phone and pull my earbud out. My eyes drift as my body slumps down into a lying position.

"Night Bud," I mumble.

Home Sweet Home...
