arabella had experienced a lot of shock in her life. for example, the day she was diagnosed with adhd and anxiety disorder, that was a shocking day in her life. or when she posted a tiktok, only to wake up in the morning to millions of likes. that was another shocking day in her life.
but this, this was a different type of shock.
this was the type that made your stomach sink and your heart completely drop.
arabella gulped, slowly removing her hands from his.
"what?", she choked out.
"i'm leaving for arizona tomorrow and i'm coming back on new year's eve," he repeated, awaiting for a proper reaction from the girl.
her mouth was slightly dropped open in shock, she couldn't comprehend it. she was still and silent. but an overwhelming feeling of frustration and betrayal came over her senses.
"why didn't you tell me?", she asked, giving noah an offended look.
"i thought you knew, it's kind of basic knowledge bella," he laughed slightly, shaking his head.
arabella couldn't believe the way he was acting right now.
"are you seriously turning this into a joke noah?", she asked slightly frustrated.
"because it's not a big deal!", he defended. "why do you have a problem with me wanting to spend christmas with my family. why would i pick here over my family."
arabella was in shock, he was acting so inconsiderate.
"it's not even that noah! it's the fact that you didn't tell me!", she exclaimed.
"i don't need to tell you everything bella," he sighed.
"no you don't, but you could've told me before i spent ages planning your gift and planning what we were all going to do on christmas eve. you have been there every time when we've spoke about it and included you in plans but you chose not to tell me then?", she asked, completely annoyed and dumbfounded by noah's actions.
"it's really not a big deal, quit making it one," he groaned.
arabella was completely annoyed.
"it would've been nice for you to tell your god damn best friend, that you won't be present!", she exclaimed, standing up from the seat.
she looked down at noah who was sitting, a frustrated expression on his face.
"oh, you wanna talk about keeping shit from people? how about you, huh?", he scoffed, standing up.
arabella crossed her arms and looked up to him.
"what are you talking about," she asked in confusion.
noah rolled his eyes, shaking his head slightly.
"don't act like you don't know arabella. you've been being sus and sneaky all week and hiding shit from me, and you want to come after me about this," he argued.
arabella rolled her eyes, it's because it was your christmas present dickwad she spoke in her head.
"exactly, you have nothing to say," he deadpanned.
arabella sighed.
"because it was for your god damn christmas present you asshole!", she shouted, finally at her breaking point.
noah was taken aback, he'd never seen arabella like this.
"i've been hiding shit from you because it was supposed to be a god damn surprise for you! i've put so much time into making this perfect with help from the guys and addi, that's why we kept making sure you were there for christmas eve! it was a god damn surprise noah. and now it's fucking ruined," she screamed, her eyes beginning to water.
noah felt his heart physically ache, regretting his tone and words towards arabella.
"i sacrificed so much sleep and energy, i became physically drained to make sure this was all perfect for you, but it doesn't matter now. because you didn't have the balls to tell me that you weren't going to be here," she continued.
she let a tear drop down her face, shaking her head with a scoff.
"merry fucking christmas," she spat, lifting her arms up before storming away and back towards the house.
noah chewed on his lip, angry and frustrated at himself for talking to her like that and keeping it from her. all of her secrecy was all for his surprise, her lack of sleep and energy that she used on his gift triggered her bad day. she's done so much for him and he won't even be there.
arabella stormed past jaden, almost knocking him over in the process.
"woah what's wrong bel?", he asked concerned for the crying girl.
"just please leave me alone," she cried, storming up the stairs and to her room.
arabella slammed her door behind her letting out a frustrated scream. she couldn't stop crying as she frustratedly tore noah's hoodie off of her body and throwing it onto the floor. she threw herself onto her bed clutching her pillows tightly and sobbing. around ten minutes later, she drifted off into a deep sleep.
