Weirdest|| Noah Grossman- SLOW UPDATES

4

"Thank you guys for coming. I know I'm the last person any of you want to see, but I Just wanted to clear the air with you all."

"You're going to start without Noah."

"I don't think he's coming. Besides, what I have to say at him will be in private. Anyway, first I wanted to say sorry. What happened at Ian's house was...unacceptable. I don't expect you all to ever forgive me. Especially you Shayne. I don't hate you. I don't think I ever could. Courtney, Olivia, I'm sorry that you were even put into this situation. You all need to understand that a million things were running through my mind and telling Noah seemed to be the least of my problems. I didn't even think it would be a problem. I was to caught up in myself to even think before words started spilling from my mouth. I'm in my early 20's and I'm pregnant. Where I'm from...it's just not normal. So I freaked. I know it's not an excuse but I just wanted to let you guys in on it."

Anna finishes but the three others stay quiet before Olivia speaks up.

"Why didn't you just tell us? We're your best friends and you didn' tell us. I was upset about you shouting at Shayne, but I wasn't mad until I realized you weren't only hiding the pregnancy from Noah but from us as well."

"I guess I didn't really think of it that way."

"You obviously weren't thinking at all...but I do understand what you're saying. So I guess I forgive you."

"Same here, Anna. I don't know what I would do if I ended up pregnant." Courtney says laying her hand on Anna's. All eyes turn to Shayne as he looks at the table deep in thought. Finally after seconds that felt like hours. Shayne looks up at Anna.

"It's good to have you back, Anna"

"It's good to be ba-"

"Anna."

Noah appears behind Anna's chair before walking around and sitting next to Shayne. He looked destroyed. His hair was a mess and bags covered the bottom of his eyes.

"Hey, Noah."

"Sorry I'm late I...I wasn't actually going to come but I wanted to know what excuse you came up this time."

"We'll leave you guys alone." Shayne says getting up.

"No everyone stays." Noah says grabbing Shayne's arm. They all slowly sit back down looking at Anna but all she's looking at is Noah.

"I hope you didn't come here to make me feel worse."

"I doubt I could make you feel as hurt as I am right now."

"Noah, I have a career. Do you seriously think a baby was even close for us? Cause I for one didn't want one for years."

"I didn't either Anna but we would've worked something out if you had just talked to me."

"I know I should've but you just have to understand how shocking it was for me, Noah."

"I do know! I felt the same way you did when Shayne told me. Not only was I shocked but was sad because one the people I love the most repeatedly lied to me."

"I never lied to you Noah. You never knew so I just wasn't going to say anything."

"So you're saying when I kept asking how you were and you kept saying that you were fine. You were telling the truth. I highly doubt that."

"Noah..."

"Don't Noah me, Anna. All of this is your fault and you keep trying to push the blame on someone else. You know, if you had just told me I wouldn't have even taken a moment to process it. I would've immediately done whatever you had asked. But instead, you lied. How do you expect me to get past this."

"Maybe we can't."

"No, I'm not letting you do this again. When things get hard you always run, but I'm not letting you do that again. Not this time."

"Then what do you want me to do?"

"I don't know, Anna. What do you want me to do?"

"I want you to support me and not hold what happened against me. I thought I was doing what was best for us and for our careers."

"Fine. I forgive you but I'm officially moving in and you have to tell me everything. From what your thinking and feeling. This isn't just your baby, Anna."

"I'm okay with all that."

The three other friends look there shocked by Noah's assertiveness. They certainly thought that the fighting couple would be officially moving in but they're happy that things will work out for them. 

"Well, I expected some water to be thrown." Shayne states breaking the silence after Noah's demands.

"It's not that hard to negotiate with me, right?"

"No of course not, Anna." Olivia says.

"Okay, whose up for some ice cream." Courtney says.

The five friends get up and plan to me at an ice cream shop. Everything is fine. Everyhing is normal for them. For now.
