Running Into Noah

RIN/Chapter 13

Everyone go read Remember written by hellyeahitshannah! she's in the comments! Seriously though, she has an amazing book!

We sat in front of the fireplace and just listened to the sound of the crackling wood. I took a sip of my hot coco and smiled to myself.

I really loved this about winter, the hot coco and blankets and fireplace marshmallows. It was my favorite because it just made me feel all warm inside.

Noah looked at his hand watch then out the window and frowned. "The snow should of stopped by now." He said and I looked over to see little white flakes falling to the ground, and fast.

"You think it's a storm?" I asked him and he nodded his head.

"Yeah, Mike said we will be clear up here." He said as he got up and went to the window. "Holy shit-"

"What?" I asked, kind of scared. What if someone was out there?

"The car..." Noah said and I quickly walked next to him to see the car completely covered in snow. "My baby." He said and I glared at him.

"How the hell are we going to get out?" I ask him and he shrugs his shoulders. "If this snow doesn't stop soon it's going to be more than two days that's for sure."

I walked back to my spot and covered myself in the fluffy blanket and Noah followed.

"Three days wouldn't kill us." He said and I glared at him.

"Four might." I said to him as I bit my nails. "It's almost Christmas and I will not spend it here."

Noah rolled his eyes, "You won't. Don't worry." He said as he took a sip of his coco and looked back at the fire.

I looked at Noah and watched how the fire gave a good glow to his face. I smiled at him and looked at the fire too.

Maybe if I was to spend more than two days here it wouldn't be bad...

Two hours later Noah and I were laying on the couch and laughing at complete nonsense. We just talked about the old times and how much stupid things we did. But what made us loose it more was the old pictures we found.

"Ugh, I don't even know what I was thinking when I put that shirt on!" I said as we looked at a picture from elementary school- I had a bright yellow shirt with funky looking orange leather pants. "Why did my mom even let me leave the house like that?" I asked myself as I looked at my hair, god my hair! I had one small ponytail at the top of my head and it didn't even have all my hair in it just half and guess what! The rest of my hair was spiked, or w
That's what I wanted it to look like.

Noah held onto his stomach as he laughed his lungs out. Im pretty sure he's going to pass out because of this...

"It's not funny." I said trying not to laugh at the 7 year old me.

Noah's laugh was like music to my ear but him laughing at me made me pissed off. I mean, I was only 7! "Look-" He said pointing in the far back corner and I squinted my eyes as I looked at the back and that's when I started to laugh.

Mike was in the background mooning the camera. I know it Mikes because he always wore these red rain boots cause they made hims 'look like a firefighter' or whatever he said.

Now Noah and I were basically crying at this. There is so much wrong with this picture. Even Noah looked stupid, he didn't have his two front teeth and his shirt was tucked into his pants that were risen so high it looked like he had a wedge.

After calming down a bit I looked at the picture and smiled, "Can I have this?" I asked Noah and he nodded his head as he brushed away some tears.

"Yeah." He said as he coughed up a little laugh. "My mom always made fours in ever picture so there's more somewhere here." He said as he picked up another pile of pictures and scanned through them.

I did the same and smiled at pictures. I missed these days, life was so much easier and so much better. Every Halloween Mike, Noah and I would go as the three musketeers and sometimes we went as the power rangers or even just creepy monsters. It was always fun. It was simple and carefree.

"Hey, look at this." Noah said as he showed me a picture of us to next to the pond, it was probably around the time we were only 13 or 14, it was snowing and we had out skates on. Mike was in the background with some girl- I think her name was Holly, he used to really like her, and then it was Noah and I smiling in the camera and we had out hands over each others shoulders.

I remember this day completely. It was the first Christmas I was spending with Noah's family. I was so nervous of spending time with Noah because this is right after I found of I liked him. Mike knew how worried I was so he brought over Holly too so I wouldn't feel alone and would have a girl to talk to but Mike was all over Holly I never got the chance to even have a proper conversation so I was stuck with Noah. I was scared and the butterflies in my stomach stayed that whole little trip because I was so nervous to be around my best friend, the boy I fell in love with.

In this picture I was actually shaking from nervousness but I told Noah I was cold so he put his hand around my shoulder and I did the same so it wouldn't look weird. I was blushing like a fool but thankfully my cheeks were always red when I was out in the cold.

"We look so young." I said to Noah as we looked at the picture.

"Yeah." He said as he set it down and looked through the other pictures.

I looked at Noah and just smiled. Im glad I came here this Christmas because I think if I was at Richards cottage I would just regret not see Noah again like I did every year.
