Falling | Choen

Chapter 5

~Chase~

It hurt. Everything hurt. I had spent two hours yelling at Cynthia, telling her why I didn't like her but each explanation just seemed farther off than the first. All I wanted to do was leave, go into my room and never go back.

I was still yelling at Cynthia and she was screaming at me. I couldn't handle it. I just wanted everything to be over and my heart cracked when I said these words.

"I don't care anymore. I don't care about anything. We are over."

I said it in almost a whisper. Our relationship was never going to work out. I just should have realized it earlier. I sighed as I turned away from Cynthia and walked into my hotel room.

My heart felt empty and I felt tears start to come to my eyes. I laid down in my bed and cried. It was silent but the silent ones always mean they hurt the most.

Cynthia was my first real relationship. My most serious and the fact that it only lasted a couple months depressed me. The fact that I would also have to explain to my fans that we broke up almost made me sick. I felt trapped.

I didn't realize anyone had come in until I felt a dip In the bed at my side. I looked over and it was Noen. His white hair hung around his face like an angel. He reached over to touch my shoulder. With that simple movement I melted into him and he grabbed onto me.

We stayed like that, hugging, until I had stopped crying. He looked at me with concerned eyes.

"Come with me."

I was confused as he said the words but he stood up, grabbed my arm and led me to the outdoor pool. It was medium sized and shaped like a bean with lights that illuminated the inside.

No one was around except us and the whole situation felt calming. Noen pulled of his shoes and socks, lifted his jeans, and put his feet in the water. He gestured for me to do the same so I did. I sat close enough so that I could rest my head on his shoulder without having to lean.

I moved my head when Noen reaches into his pocket and took out a small box. He handed it to me with slight hesitation.

"When I saw it I thought of you." Noen said. His eyes looked aqua from the reflection of the water.

I opened it slowly as if this present could change me somehow. I pulled out a silver bracelet with a heart charm hanging from the side.

I smiled at the bracelet. Only Noen could make me smile when I'm at my lowest. I turned to him and hugged him at full strength.

"So does that mean you like it?" Noen asked, his eyes hopeful.

"I love it." I replied as I let go of him. I hand the bracelet to him and said, "Will you put it on me?"

Noen nodded and gently placed the bracelet over my wrist. I shivered as his finger trailed down my arm. My heart race sped and I couldn't stop looking at him, my angel.

When he finished he looked up at me and we were staring at each other. I couldn't help it. I leaned in closer and I could smell him. The scent of honey and lavender was so aromatic. He leaned in closer to me until our lips were centimeters apart. I felt drunk, my heart was filled with something and I could feel my pulse quicken.

Everything around us stopped. The wind, the birds, everything. If I leaned any closer our lips would touch but we both turned when we saw that the gate to the pool had opened and the cleaner told us the pool was closing so we had to get out.

Both of us were blushing as we walked back to our room. We walked in silence but it was awkward. It felt comfortable like both of us knew something now.  I couldn't help but smiles little bit.

As we got to our rooms, Noen plopped down onto his bed and I went into the shower. Thinking about everything that happened. Cynthia and our break up and Noen and our almost kiss.

When I got out of the shower, Noen was already passed out. I got into my bed and before I could pass out myself, I needed to say one word.

"Goodnight, Noen."

I drifted off into sleep but could hear the faint voice of Noen speaking.

"Goodnight, Chase."
