part 5

Chase POV:
I open the door to find Noen running into the room, slamming the door behind him and coming to give me a big hug.
"Bub, what happened?" He asks me.
"Cynthia happened" I mumbled under  my breath.
"Come,lets sit".
"Ok".
"If you don't want to talk about it, you don't have to"
"I just want to cuddle"
"Ok, bubba"
He lays down first and me right after him, falling into his arms. He instantly starts playing with my hair, taking a strand of it and twirling it around his finger. We lay like that for about 20 minutes,cuddling.
His hands are so soft. His smile makes me happy. He is a friend that everyone wants to have. Im so lucky to have him in my life,I  think to myself.
He breaks the silence after a couple of minutes asking:
"So, wanna tell me what happened now"
"Well, you see... It was actually something about you"
"About me? Did I do something wrong? Omg Im sorr-"
"You didn't do anything, don't worry. So, she started calling you names like 'fag' and other and I just wanted to protect you... She said that she overheard the convo between you and the guys. I guess when she found out you are bi, she instantly thought you liked me. So she started telling me  some things like 'Dont hang out with him.. he likes you.. he is obsessed with you.. hes a fag...' and I started yelling at her. She has been acting all bitchy lately.. Im sorry you have to go through all the bad things someone does to you"
"Its ok, Im used to it. Thank you for defending me. You didnt have to.."
"Of course I did! I am so thankful to have you as a friend.. You are so good to me and we have just met"
"Thank you. So are you, my cute lil bunny" he says squeezing my cheek like my grandma does when I see her.
"Ok now that we cleared all of that out, wanna go to taco bell? I mean,if your in the mood.." He says looking at me with my puppy dog eyes that I really couldn't resist.
"Sure, lets go, Im starving!"

Noen POV:
I feel so loved right now. Chase really did step up for me. He is such a sweet boy... and a great friend... And not to mention he is so handsome. But he has a girlfriend. And he will never see me that way.
"Hey! Are you ready? I just have to fix my hair and im ready to go!" I hear Chase say from bathroom.
"Yeah lemme just change my hoodie it stinks" I say laughing.
I take my hoodie off. At the same moment Chase comes out of the bathroom. Looking at me.
"Wow, um, yeah,ok, you look uhh good I mean handsome I mean.." he mumbled.
"Haha thanks" I chuckle and go to my suitcase get another hoodie to wear.
"Lets go!" I say putting a finishing touch by putting some chains around my neck.
We get out of the hotel, following a map on his phone that leads us to taco bell.
" So, I never, um, asked you this but, whats your sexuality? I mean, I guess you are straight because you have a girlfriend.." I ask.
"Well, yeah I guess I'm straight. I mean, I haven't liked any boys before, but maybe someone could change my mind" he says smiling at me.
"But don't bring that hoe up, I'm still pissed at her. She just ruins my mood" he adds smoothly.
"Ok I wont"
"Its just around the corner, we're almost there" he tells me happily.
In front of us was a dark street, full of unknown faces, on which end was taco bell.
"Its a dark street there, I dont like it. Im scared" I say worried.
"Here, hold my hand" he says with a big smile.
"Ok thanks. I hope you aren't feeling uncomfortable"
"No I dont, you are my bub and im gonna take care of you" he says kissing my cheek, while we walk through the dark street. I instantly fluster at the little gesture.
We pass trough the street to find taco bell on the end of it.
We get to it, still holding our hands, and we see somebody in front of the restaurant. It was Payton and Griffin
'Oh shoot' I think, 'they saw ur holding hands and him kissing my cheek.
