I glanced back at Finn and I could tell he was thinking exactly what I was.

'Well shit.'

I turned back to Noah and helped him up. He was clinging onto me like a baby and pulling me down like dead weight. Finn must've noticed me struggling, because he hurried over and helped me with Noah. We took him to the couch and we sat on either side of him.

I wrapped my arms around Noah's neck and leaned onto him, trying to comfort him. "Noah, please tell me what happened."

He sniffed and dragged his hand under his eyes, wiping away his tears. He looked so cute and innocent. "Millie, I- she-" He began choking on tears again.

I rubbed his back. "Hey, its okay. Its okay. Just take a deep breath." I looked up at Finn. He had the same concerned look as I did plastered across his face.

Finn leaned forward, bracing his elbows against his knees. "Hey man, if something happened, we can't help you unless you tell us."

Suddenly Noah whipped his head around. "Just GO AWAY, Finn! GO AWAY!"

Finn and I both flinched. Finn started to stand up but I grabbed his wrist. "Wait, Noah, he's only trying to help you."

Noah looked up at me, his face twisted into sadness. "Don't you see? I need to talk to you." His voice squeaked with a voice crack. "Alone."

I looked up at Finn, knowing there was nothing I could do. I mouthed a 'sorry' and he simply nodded and walked away, hands shoved into his pockets. I looked back to Noah. "Please tell me what happened."

Noah nodded. "I'm trying, I just- I'm-"

I cut him off. "Deep breaths. It's hard to talk when you're sobbing."

He gripped my hand and squeezed, leaving nail prints. "Millie, she-" Deep breath. "I ran out of bacon to cook. So I was about to go buy more, but I heard someone at the door. I thought it was you, but it wasn't, it was Millie. She said she had something to tell me, but I wasn't expecting her to say she liked me as more than a friend!"

I could already feel the frustration welling up inside of me. Noah was crying because of Millie. But it wasn't really her fault. I just didn't know what to think, or how to feel. I didn't want any of my friends to be upset.

Noah continued. "I told her I used to like her, but then someone else came along and stole my heart and... I told her that it was you."

I swallowed the lump in my throat. "Why'd you say it was me?"

"Because it was. Y/n, I meant it when I said I loved you. I do love you, more than anything! I need you. And so I had to tell Millie and now she's mad. And I don't want her to be because she's like one of my best friends!" He looked away.

I choked on air. "Noah-"

I was cut off by a kiss. Suddenly his lips were on mine. I let it happen because I knew he needed it, but I didn't kiss back.

He pulled away. "I'm sorry. I'm just so sadandiloveyouandineed-"

I cut him off. "Its okay. But Noah... I think you should know... I... I'll start at the beginning. After the Finn incident at Stranger Con, I realized how cute and nice you are but I convinced myself that I couldn't have celebrity crushes anymore. But then I met you and we became best friends and I thought maybe I was starting to like you. But I just don't feel that intimate connection. I guess what I'm trying to say is... I don't like you as more than a best friend."

Noah visibly went pale.

I quickly wrapped my arms around him. "Noah, I'm so so so sorry...I just... I just don't feel it. I don't feel it with anyone right now."

He sniffed and looked at me. "No, its okay. Its fine. Its not your fault that you don't feel the connection. And I love being best friends. I'm sorry I put you in this situation."

So we sat there, hugging and laughing through our sadness for who knows how long.

Iris came home from who knows where, followed by the rest of the Demon Shadows cast. Noah and I were sitting on the couch watching It with Finn and making fun of him.

I felt two arms wrap around me and I turned to see Iris. Grinning, she slid over the back of the couch and landed beside me. She poked my stomach. "So how was your date with Finnnnn?"

I choked on my spit. "What?"

Finn coughed and spit out the chip he was eating. "Date?" He coughed awkwardly. "It wasn't a date."

Noah glanced around uncomfortably.

Iris burst out laughing. "Jesus, I'm joking!"

I scoffed at her, faking hurt. "How dare you take our lords name in vain!"

Iris held her hand up to her chest. "Oh my God I'm so sorry!"

Noah cleared his throat loudly. "Uhm... we're watching a movie, incase you didn't notice..."

Iris looked at him in confusion before sitting down quietly. I could tell she was concerned. Noah never acted like this.

⋇⋆✦⋆⋇

The movie was about a half hour from ending and we had sat in silence nearly the entire time.

'...me into this fuckin crackhead house... and now... I'm going to have to ki-'

Richie's iconic line was cut off by Noah pausing the tv. He stood and silently made his way to the bathroom, leaving the rest of us in silence.

Iris quickly leaned in. "What's up with him?"

Finn leaned closer to us. "You know how Y/n and I were out getting to know each other today?" Iris nodded. "While we were gone, Millie came and confessed her feelings for him but he rejected her because-"

"Because he likes Y/n," Iris finished. "I knew that part."

I sighed. "But I don't like him back. I don't like anyone right now."

"You know I'm right here, right?" Noah stated from where he stood behind the couch.

I whipped around, my face going pale. "Oh my gosh I'm so sorry! Noah- Iris, she- she just wanted to know what happened."

Noah just chuckled. "Its okay." He glanced at Iris. "Though you should know that Millie is upset now."

Finn snickered. "Now that's the tea."

Noah glared at him. "No really. You should know how she gets when she's upset." With a sigh, he sat down next to me and instinctively reached for my hand, which I pulled away.

He gave an annoyed grunt and finally let Richie finish his line.
