I Am Here For You

A Few Minutes Later

"So are you gonna tell me what's wrong?" He asked me as I began straightening myself out " I can't tell you." I really couldn't tell him, what will he think of me? What will Noel think of me when he finds out that I murdered someone. These thoughts kept running through my head. "Jess, Jess, Jessica" Noel kept repeating my name until I finally broke away from y thoughts. "Sorry, but I can't tell you" I looked away from Noel, I know that if I look in his eyes I will break and everything will spill out of me. That didn't stop him.

He grabs my chin forcing me to look into his beautiful hazel eyes. "You know you can tell me anything. Right?" he questioned worriedly that I didn't have any trust in him. When I looked in his eyes I could tell they were searching mine but there wasn't anything to read. After so many years of tell people I was fine, I learned to hide my true feelings and put them behind walls. I put my head down "I-i-i just can't, you won't look at me the same."

His beautiful face instantly saddened to the fact that I was not willing to have faith in him with a certain part of my life to which I didn't want him involved. Even though a part of me was hoping to tell him, I knew that we were not in that serious of a relationship or even if we were in an actual relationship, to begin with. "Thanks for coming." That was when I noticed that I hadn't even invited him in so I quickly added "Oh please come in" I had blushed a bit from the fact that I was so tangled in my own mess that I completely forgot to invite the boy who came here just to see me a crying mess and be tackled in the middle of an apartment hall.

I lived with Jasmine and my brother "Nice place" Noel commented as he stood in the middle of the living room. The sun had set and the moon had awoken, for the earth to sleep. The moonlight shone beautifully on Noel's caramel complexion. After a couple of seconds of us just standing in silence, I finally realized that he had been holding the items he brought me. All while me having the mini-meltdown. I quickly made my way towards him. "oh sorry let me take those" I apologized as I took them into the kitchen.

He followed right behind me, I set the things down and immediately noticed the big ass bag of hot Cheetos. My mouth started to water, I immediately grabbed the bag tearing it apart. In a couple of minutes, the bag was empty, that's when I realized that Noel was still here and had just witnessed me turn into a hungry hippo. His eyes were wide open as if he had seen a dead body. (haha get it... too soon¯\_(ツ)_/¯).

"sorry" I still had a couple of Cheetos in my mouth so it was more muffled, a couple of crumbs flying out my mouth. Noel let out a small chuckle, his eyes wrinkled up making it hard to see his beautiful hazel eyes. The moonlight shone on all the right parts to make him look so angelic. I quickly straightened up "Imma go get clean up, I'll bring you something to change into," I said as I walked into my room.

I went into my closet and got somethings from... pendejo's draw. I would throw these away but cone on there hoodies I ain't gonna put the to waste. I give him the clothes that consist of baggy gray sweatpants and a white tank top. I lead him to the bathroom.

   "Ok well I leave you to it I'll be in my room changing" I say kind of awkwardly "um...ok" he responded looking at me weirdly. I walked back to my room and changed into some sleeping clothes. I was gonna wear one of Jason's hoodies, but realized that would of made things awkward. So I decided to wear a burgundy silk pj set with black lace.

I hear a soft knock at my bedroom door, I open it and...holy shit. Wow Noel looks hella hot. I see him looks me up and down. "Well where am I sleeping" Noel asked smirking, I knew what he wanted and I wasn't going to give it to him that easily, "on the couch" I said in a 'duh' tone. I went towards my closet and handed him a blanket and pillow. He looked at me sadly and turned around to walk to the couch. I let out a small chuckle "hey" Noel turned around to look at me, hope in his eye. "Is that a thick enough blanket" the hope disappeared "oh um...yeah thanks" I turned around and closed the door, I waited a couple of minutes and went out to the living room. When I was in the living room I saw him sadly laying on the couch, "aww are you okay" I asked mockingly pouting my lip at him. He looked at me rolling his eyes "no my girlfriend just kick me out to sleep on the couch," My eyes went wide. Did he just call me his girlfriend. I am not ready for a new relationship, when I just got out of one. A what I thought was a committed relationship, I guess I was in a committed one and he wasn't even in a relationship. Anyway back to now Noel seemed to notice my reaction and asked, "We are in a relationship. right?" I hesitatingly added "look I like you I really do but I'm not really ready to get into another relationship just yet" he looked at me hurt and a bit angry. "But you where fine with having sex" he argued "That's completely different"

   "How?" He asked "I do have feelings towards you but it's to soon to be in a relationship, I mean we just met and I just broke up with my boyfriend of one year" I exclaimed he started getting up "I gotta go" he replied "wow you know what fine if you can't understand that I need time to completely heal and be done with Jason. Completely. Then go" I expressed the word 'Completely'. He didn't even bother to reply, he just grabbed his phone from the counter and left. Great another awesome event to add to my day. Note my sarcasm.
