Running Into Noah

RIN/Chapter 2

I took a long chug from the cold bottle in my hands. This was my third beer and it was finally starting to kick in.

"And then I realized..." I slurred to Mike who was still sober. "Noah will never, *hiccup*, love me like I love him- so, *hiccup*, I told him goodbye and walked home- then I left the next day. *hiccup*." I told him, tears welding up in my eyes.

"But it's obvious you're still not over him." Mike said and I nodded my head.

"I am over him!" I shout and some people looked over to us. I am over Noah if I wasn't then I would still be stuck at home probably crying over him.

Mike smirked at me and took a long sip of his beer, "Oh really?" He asks me and I nod my head. "How come when you woke up the first think you said was Noah?" He asks me and my face goes blank.

"It was just a dream." I said as I took another sip. "Wow, I'm so glad I can drink." I said mostly to myself.

"You actually can't." Mike said as he look the drink from my hand, "You're only 20 and had 3 beers already so you can't have anymore."

I frowned at him. "Have you talked to Noah at all?" I ask him and he nods his head. "Really?" I smile.

"Yep." Mike says as he looks at the door when someone walks in.

"How is he?" I ask him, eager to know how Noah has been these past years.

Mike looked back to me and frowned. "Good, why?" He asks.

"Because I want to know..."

"But I thought you were over him." He says with a smirk.

I roll my eyes but because I'm drunk it's kind of hard to actually do things with my face so when Mike laughs at me I know I look completely stupid.

"I don't like drinking." I hiccuped again and Mike got up threw some money on the table and smiled at me as he helped me get up.

"Lets get you home." He said as we walked out the little bar.

When I woke up the next morning everything smelled and my head hurt so bad I literally cried when I stood up.

"Dani..?" Tom says as he helps me get up from bed. "You okay?" He asks and I nod my head but it was a bad mistake because my head started to hurt real bad.

"I only had three drinks." I said and Tom smiled at me.

"Babe, one sip gets you drunk." He said and I couldn't disagree.

Drinking and me don't mix well but sometimes you just need it.

"Where's Mike?" I ask as I get to the living room but when I hear snoring I know he's on the couch. "Uh, I need coffee." I said going to the kitchen and making myself a big cup of it.

"So..." Tom said as he also came in the kitchen. "About Christmas." He started and I rolled my eyes.

"I'm sorry." I apologized. "I know going to Richards is what we always do because it's good for your job but going to my moms won't be bad-"

"You're saying that like I'm going to come to?" He said and I looked up to him.

"Well, aren't you?" I ask him and he laughs.

"No, I have to go to Richard's." He says and my head starts to spin a little. "I have to go because it's like a tradition for the job."

When the coffee machine beeps I quickly go over to it and pour myself a cup, "Want one?" I ask Tom and he shakes his head. When I take a sip of the hot coffee it doesn't make me feel better as much as I wanted it to. "So, you're going to Richards?" I ask.

"Yeah, and you're going to your moms." Tom said and I nodded my head.

"So were going to spend a holiday apart?" I ask, my stomach starts to twist up and it feels gross. Why did I have to drink last night?

"Yeah I guess-"

I put my cup down and ran to the bathroom to throw up, ew.

"Dani?" Tom said as he knocked on the door. "You okay?" He asks.

Obviously not. "Yeah." I lied, hoping he will come in an at least hold my hair back for me.

"Okay." He says as he walks away from the door.

Jerk.

After I got ready and showered up I went to work which was at a building, it's wasn't anything special just something to start off with but it lasted longer than I thought.

"So, you're going back home?" Melissa asked me as we walked to the break room to get some doughnuts.

I nodded my head, "Yeah with an old friend." I said and she looked at me weirdly. "Not Noah." I said.

Yeah I told Melissa about Noah because she's literally my best friend here in New York.

"Oh, I was about to say." She said and I laughed at her. "But is Tom going with you?" She asks and I shake my head.

"No, he's going to Richards." I said.

"Ugh, guys." She said and I agreed.

"Yeah, I got sick this morning from a hangover and he didn't help make me coffee or even hold my hair back as I was throwing up, he just asked if I was okay then left." I told her and she shook her head.

"Men." She said as we both took a doughnut and sat down at one of the little tables. "So going back home, huh?" She asks with a little smirk playing on her red lips.

I rolled my eyes at her. "I don't even think I'll see Noah." I said and that thought got me a little upset. I want to see Noah.

"Looks like you want to." She winked at me and I blushed.

"I had another dream." I said and her eyes lit up.

"Was it like the one last week?" She eagerly asked and my face got so red and hot I wanted to scream.

"No." I said shaking my head not trying to remember that dream. It wasn't something I should dream about while dating some else. "It was weird. It remember me of like, twilight or something." I said as I scrunched up my nose. "We were like, standing on water and dancing and then I drowned and it was just- strange."

"So you guys were like Jesus?" She asked and I laughed at her. "No but seriously, maybe it's a sign..."

"Maybe." I said taking a big bite out of my powdered doughnut.

But what kind of sign is that?
