Falling - NOAH CENTINEO

ch. 21 | My Hero

Anthony was pulled out of the car door by the collar of his shirt and I was left speechless.

It was my knight in shining armor. Noah slammed Anthony's body up against the car.

"What the hell do you think you're doing?" Noah said, shoving him harder into the car.

I got out of the passenger door to see Anthony smugly leant against the car. "Taking my lady out."

Noah's face turned red. He was absolutely pissed.

"How many times do I have to kick your ass for you to stay away from her?" He growled.

"Chill, dude. Blake willingly got in my car." Anthony smirked.

"Yeah, because you were blackmailing me!" I shouted, furious at him.

Noah looked at me for the first time. His eyes suddenly went from rage to confusion.

Anthony smirked. "You don't know?" He said, looking at Noah. Anthony knew I'd never tell him, he was just saying it get a rise out of him.

Anthony looked over at me. "I guess you wouldn't tell him about our little video."

Noah looked at me, holding tightly onto Anthony's collar.

Tears welled in my eyes. I shouldn't of said anything. Why did I say that?

I opened my mouth to speak but nothing came out.

"Blake, get in my car." He said, quietly.

"Why-"

"I said, Get in the car." He said, scaring me.

I nodded and gave Anthony a look while I got into Noah's car. I sat in the seat, holding my head in my hands, crying my eyes out. Now Noah's gonna ask questions that I didn't want to answer. He may very well hate me but just wanted to save me from getting raped by that jackass.

I wiped the tears from my eyes, looking at the ground. I couldn't bring myself to look outside the window and see what Noah was saying to him.

Then, Noah's door opened and he got inside the car while Anthony drove off.

"What did you say to him?" I asked, shakily.

"Doesn't matter." He said, gripping the steering wheel.

Noah stared at his purpling knuckles on the wheel. He didn't say a word.

"Thank you." I whispered.

He shook his head and looked down, putting the car into drive and leaving the parking lot.

"Why were you with him, B?" He asked.

I formulated my words. I tried to think of a lie but I couldn't decieve this boy. My hero that rescues me constantly. He only deserves the truth.

"That letter that Anthony sent me," I said. "Was him asking me to talk to him and he said if I didn't..." I sighed. "He'd send you a video."

Noah's hands clenched around the wheel even harder. He looked so stiff.

"What kind of video, Blake?" He asked, like he already knew the answer.

Tears fell from my eyes. "Anthony made me make a...uh... sex tape with him. A long time ago." I said.

Noah sighed, finally releasing a hand and rubbing his eyes.

"Blake, why?" His voice cracking.

"He said that if I really loved him, I would. I wasn't even in the mood, I didn't want to do it at all. But I was younger and stupid." I sighed, wiping my tears. "I should've broken up with him right there."
