"What the hell?" I asked quickly standing up.
"Happy to see me Noah?" He smirked.
"Are you kidding me?!" I yelled.
"How is that tone necessary?" He asked.
"Are you fucking kidding me?" I asked angrily.
He slapped me across the face.
"You fu-"
He grabbed me by the throat and pushed me up against the wall. I couldn't breathe and began slapping him and trying to pull his hands off of my throat. Robyn ran up behind him and pounded her fists against his back. He let go of me and I collapsed to my knees holding my neck and trying to catch my breath. He grabbed her wrists and she looked at him as if she was looking in the eyes of her worst nightmare.
"Miss Kessler, trying to save him? It's already too late." He smirked.
"Let her go." I sighed.
He pushed her away from her and picked me up by the shoulders and brushed off my sleeves.
"That's better." He smiled.
"Why are you here?" I asked.
"They let me go, they said I was innocent." He shrugged.
"But you killed her." I exclaimed.
"Who?" He asked.
"Reilly! You killed Reilly!" I shouted as tears fell from my eyes.
Everyone was looking at me in shock.
"I knew you'd start crying when you saw me, just like the good old days." He laughed.
"You killed Reilly." I scoffed.
"Did I?" He asked.
"Yes! You said you did!" I exclaimed.
"Who says I was telling the truth?" He asked.
"Were you not?" I asked nervously.
"Of course I didn't lie, I would never lie to my best friend." He smiled.
"You and I are not friends, we will never be friends." I scoffed.
"Awe Noah, my feelings." He sighed.
"Oh shut up." I exclaimed.
"Noah, I'm here to have a good time, not argue with you." He explained.
"You started this." I sighed.
"Then let me finish it." He shrugged as he directed his fist right into my gut.
I tried my hardest to not throw up and plopped down on the couch. Robyn rushed over and sat next to me, she placed her hand on my cheek.
"Noah are you ok?" She asked.
I held my hand over hers, lifted it off of my face and looked at her wrist.
"You're bleeding." I sighed.
"I know Noah, but are you ok?" She asked again.
I'm assuming Jayden had dug his fingernails into her wrists.
"He's such an asshole." I scoffed.
"Noah! Are you ok?!" She yelled as tears streamed down her cheeks.
I stared at her with a shocked look on my face.
I nodded.
"Ok." She sighed as she got up to stand with Maria as she danced.
I sat with Alex.
"That was bad, are you ok?" He asked.
"I think I'm going to be sick." I sighed.
"Then go to the bathroom." He shrugged.
"You need to come with me." I exclaimed.
"Why?" He asked.
"Please just come with me." I sighed.
He nodded. We made our way through the crowd and into the bathroom. We walked in and Alex closed and locked the door. I hunched over and threw up over and over again. Alex sat next to me, rubbing my back and giving me sips of what was his water. Almost a half and hour had passed and Alex finally asked,
"Do you want me to go get Robyn?"
Normally I'd shake my head, but I knew this was probably serious so I nodded. The second he stood up I threw up and stared down into the toilet in fear.
"Alex." I sighed in shock.
"What?" He asked nervously.
I pointed into the toilet. He slightly gasped. I had thrown up blood, yeah, this is super serious.
"Please get Robyn." I begged.
He nodded and ran out of the bathroom, closing the door behind him.
"Oh shit." I scoffed.
About a minute later Alex came back with Robyn. She gasped and quickly squatted down next to me.
"Noah, are you-" She slightly trailed off as she looked into the toilet.
"I can't stop." I cried.
"Noah, it's ok." She nodded.
"No it's not! I don't know what's happening, this isn't normal!" I exclaimed as I began to hyperventilate.
They ended up calling the police and I was brought to the hospital where they kept me, my mom stayed with me overnight and my dad came during the day. It was hard, I would just lay there and cry and that was the only way to feel better.
