Drunk Words Are Sober Thoughts

Chapter 10 (Finally, I know.)

CARSYN POV - Chapter 10

Another nightmare, yet again. Only this time, Ethan saw it, not just Noah. Ethan looks extremely worried and confused but Noah just stares at me. I hide my face in the pillow, hoping the pillow will engulf me into the darkness. But, it doesn't work, damn. I let out a frustrated sigh, why do I have this crap in my life?! Why couldn't I be a normal child, huh? That would make things a crap-ton easier, ya know? Sighing, I run my hands over my face, Ethan's face still etched with worry. "Surprise?" I say with a forced laugh, nor Ethan or Noah laugh at my 'joke,'

"Carsyn, can we talk?" Noah sighed in a frustrated tone. Well at least I know he's still Noah, "Can you at least let her recover from a damn nightmare? Jesus, Noah!" Ethan butted in. So this is what their bromance is like. Man, if only I had a 'friend' like that.

Before I could even say a word, my body was picked up and dropped into another room, presumably my room. I was praying I could get some actual sleep now, but that was ruined by the sound of Noah's voice.

"Carsyn... I need to talk to you about... what happened at the bar." Ugh, the bar? Just the thought of it made me want to groan, "yeah.. what about it?" He gave me the side eye, looking right back at his hands soon after, "did... Jacob do anything to you that night?" His voice cracked at 'Jacob' I took a moment to weigh my options, even though I knew I couldn't lie to him. "Well, I'd rather not discuss it, I can handle it by myself." He spun his body around to glare at me, "Bull shit, you know you can't. You can trust me Carsyn! I know I was a big jerk to you but I promise, I've c-changed." God, he's giving me this again. He didn't seem like a man I could trust, but, who else did I have...

After explaining my whole situation, Noah's jaw was unhinged to the point where it seemed like it might fall off, "That bastard! I should've been there to protect you.. I'm sorry, Carsyn..." His apology seemed half-acceptable. There wasn't really a reason to say sorry. If anything, I should be the one saying sorry. "It's fine Noah..." I'd probably regret saying this, "I... um.. forgive you."

"Noah, get your butt over here!" Ethan yelled from the living room. I took a pillow and smashed it into my face, muffling my groan of disappointment. Noah had the same reaction, but his was more annoyed. He stood tall and ran his hand through his hair "Stay here... we'll continue discussing this later." He reassured me. I don't like where this is going. I didn't want to be cliche and not stay put, but I wasn't going to let Noah of all people go talk with Ethan all on his own.

Noah soon left the room and slammed the door behind him. So much for changing, I guess. To be completely honest, I didn't have a clue on what to do next. My head still stung from the impact awhile back. I felt restless, like I wanted to do something. I had a bad feeling. And for some odd and random reason, I wasn't able to stay put any longer. I jumped up from the bed and without thinking, rushed after Noah.

By the time my struggling ceased, Noah and Ethan had disappeared from sight. God if only I wasn't so slow! I threw on my outside apparel and sprinted out the door and onto the streets of the neighborhood, starting my long search. I hope Noah isn't causing too much trouble...

After searching without success, I decided to take a break from looking. I sat down on a park bench, thinking about where they might've gone. How were they even that fast? I would've caught a glimpse of those two once they left... I heard sirens behind me. My anxiety struck me like a truck. 'That could be for anyone, stop panicking' I kept yelling at myself. I knew it wouldn't work, my mind doesn't work like that. Heck, like it even functions at all. I threw myself up from the bench and ran in the direction the ambulance was heading in, my mind blank and fried.

Once I had caught up, I realized there was nobody I could recognize at the scene. But that's when I heard his voice. "Carsyn..?" I flinch in his direction, my anger and relief struggling for dominance. It was god damn Ethan. "Ethan! Where's Noah? What did you do with him?!" I started questioning him off the bat, causing a smirk to form on his lips "Someone really must've missed me.." He hissed silently. An image of Jacob ran through my mind. Could this day get even worse? "Spit it out Ethan!" I snapped back, my hands tightly clenched into fist, waiting for the right moment to strike. "Relax, no need to hit me-" I softened just a little bit, "Where. Is. Noah?!" I stated through my gritted teeth. "Uh, yeah about that..." Ethan scratched the back of his head. "He sort of got hit by a car-" My eyes widened, "What?! He what?! How'd that happen?!"

"He and I were walking, and-- it all happened so quickly! He dashed off while the light was still green, a-and the car came out of nowhere!" Was he out of his mind? Why was he telling me this bullshit?, "Shut up and tell me what actually happened, Ethan." I tried to keep my composure, but the situation made my blood boil to the point where I was ready to lash out. But, why was I about to lash out over... Noah? Of all people?! Ethan had no more words. His mouth opened, but instantly shut after, it made him look like a fish out of water. "You know what... Forget it, just take me to the damn hospital!" I let out a frustrated and upset groan, finally, Ethan complied to my request and walked us to the car.

When we pulled up to the hospital, I didn't wait for Ethan to get out, I leapt out as he slowly pulled into a parking space, alarming Ethan in the process. "Carsyn!" I tore into the hospital, frantically making my way towards the front desk. "E-excuse me?! Where is Noah Bax?! I need to see him, now!" The receptionist typed in what I presume was his name, then turning back to me, "Honey, he's in a critical surgery right now, so he won't be out for an hour or two, go take a seat for now... Or go get a cup of-" Suddenly the door bursts open, in coming a furious Ethan... "Carsyn! What the hell were you thinking?! Jumping out of the car like that!" My body tenses at the tone, causing me to freeze in my place. Ethan's eyes blazing, but to be honest, of all the things he could be angry about, this is what he picks? Apparently I started crying, though I couldn't tell, but next thing I know, Ethan pulls me into a hug, soothing me. "Shh... It's okay. He'll be okay."

And that's where we stayed for a bit, but Ethan soon picked me up bringing us over to the waiting seats, where I fell asleep in his arms... Praying for my old best friend, mister Noah Bax...
