Noah

I've never felt this way before. I've never felt my heart crumble into a million pieces as the girl I love ran out on me. Her eyes said everything to me in that moment and it made me sad, knowing I intentionally hurt her.

Am I stupid? Yes.

Should I have ran after her? Yes.

Should I have punched Aaron? Hell yes.

He's such an arrogant, selfish, Grade A asshole. He took my princess from me and it even isn't his first full day. Does he have any idea how worried we all are? I'm about to pull my hair out from all this stress. Dammit Madelyn, why must you make me feel this way? I'm just so vulnerable for you..

"You know Noah," Callie angrily says. "You are actually oblivious. You don't see the perfect, beautiful girl you have right in front of you and what do you go do? You go screw the one person you know she fucking hates. This-this attention seeking-"

"Hey! I'm right here!"

"We know and honestly we wish you weren't. Now run along." Callie says as she glares at Kiera. " You're such an asshole. How dare you hurt her like that? Maybe Aaron may be a more fucking decent guy than you. You either man the fuck up or let her go."

By now, Callie was fuming and her face was all red. Mike was trying to calm her down but that just made her angrier.

"Gosh why is everyone such a dick today!" She shouts at me before she..

She slaps me.

A hard slap across my cheek, leaving a tint of red on my face. That would definitely leave a bruise.

"Jesus woman are you on your time of the month?" Thomas asked as he chuckled to himself. Callie strutted up to him and as she did to me, she struck him across the cheek. "My god, where the fuck do you learn to slap like that?" Thomas asked as he clutched his face.

"My nana always said if a boy is disrespectful to you, whip him with a fish but obviously I don't have one. I wish I did though." And with that Callie walked out the cafeteria, leaving Mike, Thomas and I by ourselves.

I sighed before hitting my head against the table multiple times. Stupid Noah, fucking stupid.

"Dude, what are you still doing here? Go get your girl." Mike said as he watched me beat myself up. Good question Mike.

I shot up from my seat and ran out the lunch room. I need to find her. I need her.

"Madelyn!" I shouted across the parking lot as I saw her getting into Aaron's car. I couldn't let him leave with her. God knows what he might do to her.

She signalled for Aaron to get in the car without her before she faced me, her arms crossed. She looked so damn cute when she was mad. Hell, she looked beautiful every other day. I could never get my eyes off her.

"Look Noah, you made yourself clear, we're just friends." She took a breath. "I was honestly so stupid to think that you'd ever look at me more than a little sister."

"Made-"

"No, don't say anything. I know what you're trying to do. You're going to say some cheesy stuff that's probably going to make me swoon and forgive you but honestly, I'm done. I'm done with your bullshit Noah. I've been waiting for eight fucking years and now you start to give two fucks?"

"Madelyn, you know I want what's best for you. God knows what I'd if something happened to you. I wouldn't be able to live with myself. I really fucking like you." I say in one big breath.

"Then why did you hook up with Kiera?" She mumbled as she looked down at the ground.

"Because...I don't know." I frustratingly said.

"There's your answer Noah. I think you know what happens now" She started walking towards Aaron's car.

"I'll win you back Madelyn Kennedy! Mark my words!" I shout before she gets in and drives off. I'll win you back..

~-~

I slam the door shut and walk towards the door man standing near the entrance.

"I want you to go to Jeff and tell him to find out everything he can about Aaron Morne. I mean everything." I instruct him before sending him off. Right now, I just need some fatherly advice.

I walk towards his office, expecting him not to busy. He never is. I reach his office when I see the door slightly open. Inside, I hear hushed voices. My father and Kevin talking to each other. I press my ear against the door, trying to hear what they're saying.

"No, Abigail did not have a daughter." My father states as he took a seat in his chair.

"It's said after her plane went down that the girl was put into the foster system, from their on all records of her are sealed to the government. We couldn't access anything else."

"We made fucking sure that Abigail died, we can't have her daughter running around ruining our plans." My father sighed.

"Karl...she could be my daughter for all we know." Kevin said quietly. Can these guys speak up, I can't hear a thing they're saying. My father cleared his throat before signaling to the door.

"Come in Noah." My dad said as he opens the door for me. Good thing he didn't notice me before. "What's wrong son?"

"I just need..forget it, it's stupid." I say before turning on my heel and walking to my room. I don't know what I just heard but it sounded serious; more serious than usual.

Anyways, that is least of my priorities. My number one focus is Madelyn and only her. I enter my room and gaze at the pictures stuck on them, one in particular catching my eyes.

It was the day I took Madelyn to a carnival. I was giving her piggy back because she had eaten too much cotton candy. I had looked up at her and she kissed my cheek when Callie took the picture. It just reminds me of how flustered I was after.

Madelyn was forever on my mind. She was my night dreams and my days dreams. It would be foolish of me to say I don't love her. I do, I've loved her ever since Kevin brought the cute, innocent ten year old into the house.

I jumped on my bed before taking my phone and staring at my lockscreen. Again, a picture of Madelyn pulling a funny face. She had taken my phone while I was taking a shower just to flood it with many pictures of her. I didn't mind. She is so beautiful..

I threw my phone at the other side of the bed and looked up at the ceiling. How will I win her back? How will I... I got it!

I shot up from my bed and started running towards the door and down the hallway. She will love this. She definitely will.

And by this month, she will love me too.
