Chapter Seventeen: Pity//Moodswings

*The Next Morning*

I woke up in Noah's arms. I smiled, thinking about last night. I grabbed my phone from the dresser, careful to not wake up Noah. I scrolled through Discord until Noah woke up. He rubbed my lower arm, until I realized what he was doing. He was feeling my cuts. I jerked my arm away from him, almost hitting him in the face. He opened his eyes, feeling his face for his glasses.

"They're on the dresser. Good morning." I said, angry for no reason. He grabbed his glasses from behind us and sat up and looked at me.

"What's wrong? I thought last night was fun." He said, with 'confused' written all over his face.

"Last night was fun! It's just.. well, I don't really know. I have these moodswings sometimes. I think you triggered one by touching my scars." I said.

"Oh.. well, I'm sorry. I didn't mean too." He said, looking at me with sorrow.

"Don't make that face." I said, knowing what face that was

"What face?" He asked, going back to the 'confused' face.

"Pity." I said, getting out of the bed.

"What, no, wait Zach." He said, grabbing my arm before I could walk away. Damn, he didn't look it, but he was strong. I thought to myself.

"What, Noah?" I asked, crying for whatever reason. He crawled over to the side of the bed I was on and sat down.

"Stop. And talk to me." He said. It felt like his eyes were looking straight into my soul.

"Okay, what do you want to know?" I asked, suddenly calming down.

"Why did you start to cut?" He asked, with a dead serious look on his face.

"I felt alone. But then I met you. I'll try to stop. It's hard though, the voices in my head tell me to keep cutting while my heart knows its wrong." I said, sitting back down, "I probably sound like a crazy person." I wiped my eyes.

"No, not crazy. You sound human." Noah said, trying his best to comfort me.

"Thanks, I guess. Sorry for jerking away earlier." I said, looking at him.

"Hey, lets go to the park down the street." He proposed.

"Okay, you didn't bring an extra set of clothes.." I said, realizing all he brought was a toothbrush.

"Oh.. Yeah, this is my only really nice shirt. Can I borrow one of yours?" He said.

"Yeah, of course. Go through my closet. I'm gonna say good morning to Trish." I said, walking out of my room and closing the door.

"Trish?! You home?" I shouted throughout the house. No answer. I walked into the kitchen and saw a note on the counter that read,

zach & noah, i'll be out with they meyers. there's still pizza left. dont do anything 2 crazy, kids .

I smiled at the note and grabbed some pizza for me and Noah. I went back upstairs and opened my door, seeing Noah in nothing but his briefs.

"Oh! Uh, sorry!" I said, backing out of the room, closing the door.

"Oh, it's fine you can come back in." He said, nonchalantly. I felt sort of weird, but I walked back in and set his plate of pizza down. I sat down on the bed and started to eat my pizza. Something tasted sort of weird so I looked down and I saw that it was Noah's slice. He turned around just in time to see my take the pizza out of my mouth.

"Motherfucker! You wanna eat my pizza? Two can play at that game!" He said, grabbing my slice of pizza and eating it in three bites.

"It was an accident! I'm sorry!" I said as I finished the pizza. Just in time for me to put the plate on the dresser, Noah trampled me, attacking me for eating his pizza. I started to laugh when he planted his lips on mine. I smiled before kissing him back. He pulled away after a couple of minutes of just straight kissing.

"What?" I asked, afraid I did something wrong.

"The park!" He exclaimed.

"The park's open all day. Let's go back to what we were doing." I said.

"No! I have something to show you there." He said, putting his shirt back on. Somehow it got off during the heavy makeout session.

"Alright, as long as you're not planning to kill me." I said, finally getting ready to put clothes on.

"Hurry! I have something important to tell you!" He said, walking out of the room, then coming straight back in.

"You're back." I said and rolled my eyes sarcastically.

"Yep, I didn't wanna miss this show." He said, plopping down onto my bed. It took me a minute to realize what he was saying, but he was talking about me. I was the show.

"Haha, very funny, now let me pick a shirt." I said, digging around my closet. I found a shirt and put on some jeans and my tennis shoes.

"Grab our phones, I have to pee." I said, walking towards my bathroom. He nodded and I started to pee, while thinking about Noah. Okay, it is pretty weird to think about Noah while I'm peeing, but I like him. I thought. I washed my hands and went downstairs to see Noah all ready to go.

The walk to the park was about 5 minutes, and me and Noah talked every minute. Once we arrived at the park, I finally asked him about this thing he had to tell me.

"So what did you wanna show me?" I asked, still confused.

"Come over to the swings, okay?" He said, running ahead of me.

"Alright, wait up! I'm coming!" I said, running after him. Once we made it to the swings, he told me to sit down. He started to push me on swings.

"Okay, whats the best feeling and the worst feeling?" He asked me.

"Uh, happiness and sadness, why?" I asked, still confused. He pushed me higher.

"So switching between those two, would be a moodswing, right?"

"Yeah, I guess." I said, more confused than ever. He started to laugh super hard.

"What? What is it?" I asked, actually getting scared.

"Moodswing, get it? Mood. Swing! Ha, you're on the swings, get it." He said, slowing down the pushing. I started to laugh as the swing came to a stop. I laughed. Hard. I wasn't laughing because of the joke, rather, because of him. He thought it was the best joke in the world, while I thought he was the best person in the world.
