I kept debating with myself whether or not I should call Noah. In the end I decided it was the best option for me right now. I picked up my cell phone and dialed his number, a few rings later his voice mail played in my ears. I sighed and wondered Noah always has his phone on him at all times, He doesn’t let his phone go dead. Noah would plug it in, even when he still has two bars left. Something’s not right. For all I know, he could be wondering the streets right now lost and have no way of calling someone. I was starting to worry, what if I go over to his house and ask his father?
No. He is probably okay, right?

I can’t call anyone, Nicole has the flu, Skylar is hanging out with Hayley, Wynter is out, Joshua is packing for Florida, and I can’t call Gage he probably hates me. None of them live close, the closest is Nicole and she lives 20 minutes away. I don’t feel like getting lost in the dark while suffering from hypothermia. I started sobbing; I still remember when Wynter came into my room showing me a letter my mother wrote before she left.
*Flashback*
I was lying on my bed listening to Linkin Park, as my brother knocked on my bedroom door. I always knock my door for some reason; I guess it just makes me feel safer. I got off of my bed and opened the door to a teary eyed Wynter, holding a note in his left hand. He embraced me in a hug and started whispering ‘I’m sorry’ over and over again. I was so confused, but if Wynter was crying I knew it was bad. He never cries, only when it is about something or someone very important to him. I’m guessing someone by the looks of the note. I pulled back and took the note from his hands, and walked over to the bed and sat down. While taking a deep breath I unfolded the note.
Dear Wynter and Noah,
I’m sorry you had to find out this way, but I had to leave. I can’t tell you the reason why I’m leaving, simply because I want to protect you from the truth. You don’t need to worry about it; I just needed a break from everything. I’m not sure if I will ever see you guys again, but I want you to know that I love you boys very much. That won’t change. I know this is probably hard for you to understand but you will discover the truth later on. Just do one thing for me please, find someone who makes you happy.
Love,
Mommy. Xoxo
I started shaking and reread the note once more, just to see if it was real. It was. Wynter sat down beside me and hugged me tightly, I sobbed into his shoulder. I fell asleep in Wynter’s arms comforting me.
*End of flashback*
I know my mother said it wasn’t out fault she was leaving, but I still blame myself for it. Ever since that day Wynter and I have been close, not that I mind I like feeling protected at home to. Well, I guess it’s not a home anymore, I wonder how he is going to take it. About me leaving. Will he leave with me? Or stay? So many questions, but no answers. I tucked my hands inside of my shirt, in attempt to stay a little warmer but it didn’t work.

I grabbed my car keys and went to get my vans when my father’s voice called me from the kitchen, “Where are you going, son?” I didn’t reply I just slipped on my vans and ran to my car.
I feel like something’s wrong, its 11’clock at night. I sped out of the drive way and drove in the direction of Noah’s house. I couldn’t think straight, so many things were running through my mind. Was Noah okay? Did his dad find out? Is he hurt? Is he al- I stopped myself from thinking further. No, Noah was fine. Even if he does hate me, he would still call me if it was an emergency, right? I turned on Noah’s street and pulled over on the side of the road right in front of his house.
What I saw broke my heart. I jumped out of the car and ran up onto the porch to find Noah curled up in a ball freezing cold. I took off my jacket and wrapped it around him as I hugged him giving off heat. He tried to talk but nothing would come out, it killed me to see him this hopeless. What happened? No, questions later. I need to get him warm first. I picked him up bridal style and walked down the path way to the car, he nuzzled his head in my chest. I opened the car door and gently placed him on the seat and ran around to the other side, I blasted the heat and he sighed. I put mine and his seat belts on and drove away; I rested my hand on his knee as we reached a red light. He peered up at me with tears in his eyes; I kissed his forehead quickly before the light turned green. He finally able to speak, but it was very hard to understand because of his stutter,
“T-t-th-thank y-y-ou, I r-really a-ap-appreciate i-it.” His voice was muffled by my jacket, I gazed over to him and smiled and he returned it weakly. We arrived at my house; I hopped out of the car and went around to Noah’s side to help him out. I picked him up and walked up the front steps, before I could even open the door it flew open reveling a very pissed off father but as soon as he has seen Noah in my arms his expression softened. He moved over allowing me to step through, I walked up stairs to my room and shut it with my foot. I sat Noah down on the bed while I went to my closet to grab some pajamas. While doing that I gazed over my shoulder to find Noah staring at me, I smiled at him and he just looked down blushing. So cute. Wait what? Never mind. After getting him some plaid pajama bottoms and a t-shirt, I grabbed his hand and walked over to the bathroom. I sat him on the counter while I started the bathtub. I didn’t care if he didn’t want a bath, he was going to have one just so he could get warmer. He looked at me confused but then he understood what was going on and he didn’t refuse, he smiled and nodded at me. He spoke up but I could barely hear him due to the bathtub running,
“Thanks again.” He whispered, I smiled and walked over to him. I separated his legs and I stood between them, I brought him into a hug and kissed his forehead while whispering, “No problem.” He giggled and hopped off of the counter and started taking off his shirt, heat traveled to my cheeks. “I-I’ll be in my room waiting f-for you.” I muttered embarrassed. He giggled and nodded, while he was unbuttoning his pants. I left before I could see anything else, no matter how much I wanted to. Huh? Okay. I’ll stop action dumb, truth is I like Noah. Yeah, it took me a while to figure out my feelings for him, but I truly do like him –as in more than a friend. Again my cheeks turned crimson red at the thought of him naked in the bathtub, just one door separating us. I brushed the thought off and flopped down on the bed waiting for Noah.
