I Love You

Chapter 9

"Are you.... are you asking me to leave?" I ask Stella, tears in my eyes. I am scared to hear her answer as she looks at me with an apologetic face. I want to cry and just disappear, i don't want to face her while she kicks me out. I literally gave up on many things in my life to be here today. I even declined my stepdad's offer. He wanted to rent an apartment for me so that i will be comfortable while I'm studying in New York. But i refused cause i thought that my bestfriend Stella really wanted me living with her.
I can't believe that i was so stupid, that i thought i will be welcomed and that my relationship with my bestfriend will stay the same after 2 years.
I didn't even spend 3 days in New York and things are already getting worse.
I keep wandering in my thoughts as i hear Stella laugh next to me. I look up and find her grinning at me.
I am confused and angry at the same time. How could she laugh while kicking me out of her house? Aren't we bestfriends? Even if we are enemies how could she enjoy  doing that to me?
I look at her my eyes filled with tears and my heart broken by her reaction.
"Did you really think i was about to kick you out?" She says before i could ask.
"What?" i ask confused.
"What do you mean...?" I say as i hold back my anger.
"I was talking about Adam when i said one of you should leave. Yesterday,  he told me that he found an apartment close to where he works. He will move out tomorrow. He said he can't stand the fact that you're in the same house as him, nor that you are not with him anymore so he wants to move away from you to give you some time to rethink about your relationship." She answers sadly.
"Wait.. what?... i.. don't get it. Are you telling me that i am staying with you and Adam is the one leaving." She nods as i continue "he is moving out to stay away from me and to give me time to consider getting back with him?"
"Yeah that's exactly what i just said" Stella says in an annoyed voice.
I stare at her for a long moment before i answer by a simple okay.
I can't think or take a proper decision for now i need some time to figure out everything that happened. I can't tell my so called bestfriend what i feel or what i think since she is already annoyed with me for apparently no reason.
I stand, grab my bag and mumble " i got to go" before leaving her behind. I walk as fast as i can before she could stop me.
As soon as i get out of the mall i remember that i don't really know the way back to the house and i immediately regret my decision.
I'm about to have a break down as i hear my phone ringing in my pocket. I read Noah's nickname on the screen. I hesitate for a  moment, i am not really in the mood to talk but i pick  up anyways.
"Hello magic friend" i say in the phone.
Noah stays silent for sometime before answering "Hi beautiful, how are you doing?" i blush as i hear what he said.
"I'm fine. What about you?"i smile feeling a little bit better.
"I'm feeling good today. you know why?" He asks exited.
I raise my eyebrow curious to know. He continues before i could answer "i just found out that you and I are going to attend  the same college can you believe it."
I don't  know what to say to him. I just know that i'm so excited to go to the same college as him. "How did you know that?" I ask curiously.
He ignores my question and states " so since college starts soon, i wanted to enjoy the last few days that we still have." He pauses before continuing "and i thought why don't i hang out with my lovely new friend."
"Just say that you want to spend time with me" i say smiling widely.
"Well.... yeah you're right" Noah answers shyly.
"Okay then, when and what are we going to do?" I ask feeling extremely good.
"So for today it's a surprise. But tomorrow we need to go shopping for college." He answers excited.
"Well i actually don't like surprises..."i say but Noah interrupt me " you will like this one i promise"
"Alright since you're confident in yourself, i will send you my location to come and pick me so i can see this surprise". I say grinning.
"Trust me you will love it" he exclaims.
"If you say so" i reply.
"Alright then be ready" he shouts in a weird voice that made me laugh.
"I love hearing you laughing. Anyways see you soon gorgeous." He says in his deep amazing voice leaving me amazed and shy because of his comment.
I mumble a quiet see you before i hung up.
As soon as i do i let out a small scream of excitement.
I can't believe that i met a good looking friend who wants to spend time with me and is always able to make me feel better after a hard time.
This is too good to be true, but i'm not complaining.
