[EDITED]

Noelle's POV

I never really felt heartbroken before, as a kid I taught myself to keep my emotions to myself and never let anyone see me down.

I know people hate me or get annoyed easily at me because I'm so loud as a kid. I always laughed, smiled wide and kept my unstable emotions to myself.

I was depressed as a kid. I had multiple problems in my life and I started to cut. I stopped eventually, people started to notice even though I had so many bracelets on.

I felt stupid, useless and most importantly worthless. People always told me to shut up or to go away. I don't even want to remember the other things.

I used to cry every night. I still do, but I stopped it. They're gonna see me or hear me.

It was six in the morning. I woke up early, I didn't really sleep though. I slept for like one hour or thirty minutes and stayed awake all night.

I grabbed my jacket, phone and wore some pajama shorts. I wore some socks and some running shoes. I left a little note on the table.

Went out for a run. Be back soon.

I walked out the door and ran. I just ran away and I didn't care wherever I might go.

I found myself running somewhere I don't really know. It was a cute little public park. It just opened, I sat down under a tree.

I like trees.

I panting like crazy. I opened my phone to play 'JellyKing'.

"Hey," I looked up to see Bryce smiling at me. He gave me a bottle of water, which I gladly took. "You wanna tell me why you're panting under a huge tree at six-thirty in the morning?" he chuckled while I took a sip.

"Something happened. Something really stupid to be sad about." I said looking down. It was.

"Well, are you gonna do something later?" he asked fixing his hair. His nose wiggling a bit.

"I don't know. Why?" I wasn't really sure. Maybe we're gonna have a heist and nobody told me?

"I know this is gonna sound weird and awkward, but do you.. I don't know, maybe go on a date?" he said staring at me. He fixed his glasses and once again, fixed his hair.

"Uh.. sure? I don't really know." I'm pretty sure that when I get back they're gonna scold me or something.

"I'll take that as a yes." he smiled. My gut is telling me to not trust this guy so quickly, but my brain is telling me to go with him.

"I'll pick you up at 4:00. Wait for me here." he said looking at his watch. I smiled and just nodded.

"I better go. They're probably planning to ground me." I laughed lightly. I stood up and waved goodbye.

But before I went back I ordered some Maccas.

"Hey. I'm back!" I hollered. I set the food on the table and all of them came rushing in.

"Thanks. Oh, did you know? Tyson, Kasper and those three other guys are going to Russia!" Mike cheered munching on his fries.

"That's good." I said taking a sip of my coffee. I should pop the question right now.

"Guys? Is it okay if go out later? With a friend." I said taking a bite of my sandwich.

"Okay. We came here to the Philippines to relax. We just had one heist. With who though?" Emma said tying her hair into a ponytail.
