Noah's P.O.V.
"I think Ethan needs to do something already, its been weeks" Roni begins to complain.
I partially listen to her speak and keep my own comments concerning the situation to myself.
His problem doesn't concern me. She does.
Kayla doesn't deserve all this bullshit and I don't want Roni watching her go through that but its not my place to say anything.
Ethan should be the one talking to her and telling her the truth not me. Nor anyone else.
"...I mean come on Ethan should man up and-" right about the time Roni was about to finish her sentence Kayla rushes over to us both excitement and nervousness laced in her tone.
"He asked me out!" she squeals.
Are you kidding me!!!
"You're serious?" I scoff.
Roni shoots me a death threatening glare and shakes her head.
"That's amazing" she praises her with a smile.
"I know its just-" she pauses and takes a seat. "Did I forgive him to quickly?" Kayla sighs.
"I mean i-" she tuggs on her hair in a frustrated manner. "I'm new to this"
"I have no fucking clue on what to do and I'm so freaking scared Ron. What do I do?" she panics.
Roni looks over at me kindly asking me to go without actually verbally speaking.
She doesn't want me to see her so vulnerable.
I nod along and excuse myself from the situation.
The first thing I need to do is find his ass and talk sense into him before this goes on longer than it has to.
-
I passed along a couple of hallways until I heard loud grunts and screams coming from nearby.
"You fucking piece of shit!" Ethan mumbled under his breath as he held Kevin by his collar up against the lockers.
"Hey dude let him go" I pushed Ethan off him.
"No i need to-" he angrily retorts before I cut him off.
"You need to back off"
A couple minutes before intervention...
Ethan's P.O.V.
He isn't going to get out of this one alright.
I speed walk through the hall as I let all my anger consume me once again leading me towards his direction.
Once I spot him near some lockers I take the chance to push him back against them.
"I told you to fuxk off Kevin?!" I exclaimed while Kevin took his stance again.
"I'm doing this for her," he cockily smiled back. "She needs to know that he whore of boyfriend can't keep his-"
He surely is asking for it
"Don't you dare speak of it again" I speak through gritted teeth.
A smug grin grows on his face causing my fist to collide on the side of his jaw.
"Punch me all you want Dolan she will never-" I push him against the lockers by his collar causing his head to slam harshly on the metal.
"Kayla is mine and nothing will ever change that. " i look straight into his eyes. "UNDERSTOOD" I scoff.
He doesn't answer making my blood boil more than before.
This time I punch his nose and fave repeatedly hoping somehow my mistake would fade away in his face.
Present
Noah's P.O.V.
"You need to back off" I push Ethan by his chest.
His breathing is still heavy and his adrenaline is surely sky rocketing as his knuckles begin to bruise.
I hold him off while turning to look at Kevin who's eye was slowly turning a dark purple shade and his blood began to drip from his nose.
"Stay out of trouble Dolan" Kevin lastly said while he wiped a couple droplets of blood from his nose and walked off as if nothing happened.
"You need to get your shit together and tell her" i angrily turned to face him.
"Why does it matter anymore? She forgave me for the party" he smoothly said massaging his knuckles.
"She doesn't know everything." I look up at him. "She doesn't know that-"
"Fine I get it but I can't hurt her that way Noah. I'm miserable without her" he admits with sorrowful eyes.
"She will be miserable either way Ethan she deserves the right to know and maybe then she will forgive you" I try persuading him.
"She won't forgive me. She barley forgave me this time" he paces back and forward in a stressed out manner.
"She will never forgive me so no I won't tell her" he decides.
"Its best if you tell her because if Kevin or anyone else decides to open their mouth your screwed especially since you beat the shit out of Kevin"
"I can't!" he exclaims.
I nod my head in disappointment and leave him with these last few words.
"If you lead her on, I will tell her whether your on board or not"
Before he has a chance to reply I turn on my heal and walk away leaving Ethan by himself.
He better choose wisely.
