Trouble | Noah Beck

S E V E N T E E N

"yo ortiz!" you hear blake yell as you stormed through the hallways, coincidentally, noah was right next to him.

you pause to walk over to them, "whats up?" you say with crossed arms. noah stared at you.

"is it true you slept with Dolan?" he asks, noah clenched his jaw at the question Blake had asked.

"yes... so what?" you say.

blake chuckles, "so you cheated on my boy?" he says looking over at noah.

"i- ... we were. never. dating." you say fiddling with your fingers.

"dont play that shit Denali... me and Athena knew the truth." he says, noah stood next to him.. avoiding eye contact with you.

"what am i playing blake? some shit went down and we weren't on speaking terms.. so do me a favor and fuck off." you say walking off.

you hear them mumble something, not paying any attention to it, but noah not bothering to step in and defend you was pretty shocking. you really didnt know what to think.

you hear whispers such as, "is that noahs hoodie?" as you walked.. you decide to go into the restroom to take it off.

you walk in to find Marilyn, Jess, and Nat. you mentally face palm yourself.

"oh Denali! what a surprise." she says obnoxiously, while twirling the ends of her blonde hair.

you were determined to confront her. "what the fuck is wrong with you huh?" you say walking over and pushing her.

she scoffs, "what are you talking abo-" she says as her back slammed against the bathroom stalls.

"you text noah saying that you'll 'ruin my life' if he doesn't leave me?" you say crossing your arms, the corner of her mouth beginning to tilt up into a smirk, and you knew if she kept this up you were going to slap it off her damn face.

"he doesn't need you bitch, he's only using you to make all of us jealous so we'll fall right back at his feet." she says smiling.

"i dont care! okay?! but i swear to god Marilyn, if you send another one of your little spies near mine or noahs house ... i. will. fucking. hurt. you." you say mocking her smirk.

"just you? or you and your alcoholic dad too?" she says , nat and jess giggling.

THAT WAS IT . THIS BITCH IS GETTING THE BEATING SHE DESERVES .

you slap her across the face with all your strength, grabbing her and throwing her onto the floor , punching her with all force as she tried to reach for your hair.

you start hearing people gather and chant, 'fight fight fight'

"move out of the fucking way!" you hear noah say as he pushed through the crowd of people standing around us.

you feel him grab you and pull you off Marilyn. she gets up with bruises all over her face.

she glances at you, shaking her head and running out of the restroom with Nat and Jess following her.

everyone begins walking away, Noah lets you go and turns you around.

"what the hell?" he says.

"dont even start with me..." you say starting to walk out.

be grabs your arm pulling you back.

"why would yo-" he says.

"i confronted her about it! she said that you were using me to make all the other girls you've hooked up with jealous!" you say walking away.

he follows you, walking next to you through the hallway.

"and you believed her?"

"of course i didn't noah!" you exclaim.

you turn the corner and find everyone gathered at your locker. you and noah look at eachother confused.

you shove everyone out of the way, finding it spray painted with the words 'whore! slut! trash!' you freeze.

your heart sinking.

"go to your fucking classes and mind your own business!" you hear noah yell, they all fleed away.

you begin to sob, as he embraces you in a hug.

"why! why are they doing this?!" you cry into his chest.

"i-i dont know.." he says with his chin resting on your head as he rubbed your back.

"denali?" you hear athena say behind you.

you walk to her, pointing at your locker.

her jaw drops, "oh hell no! im getting all three of those fucking bitches!"

she storms off, "no athena stop!" you yell.

"why are they messing with you?! what happened?!" she says walking back you.

"they dont like that me and noah are together" you say as noah stood next to you looking down.

she stands there with crossed arms, "i-im sorry D, but if thats the reason then it might be better off if you guys are seperated, for your safety" she says.

you didnt want it to come to that, but you were barely at school for one day and your life was already fucked up.

you look over at noah who was fumbling with his fingers. "can you give us a sec A?" you say, she nods walking away.

"noah... she's probably right." you say, he avoids your eye contact.

"so we're over?" he says crossing his arms.

"just until we get this all to stop... i dont want to put you in danger because of these psycho bitches who can't get over you." you say.

he sighs, nodding. "well, i'll see you later.. i guess." he says starting to walk away.

"noah... wait." you say, he pauses turning his head to you.

you walk over to him, smashing your lips against his for a quick second.

"we'll get through this." you say as you pulled away.

he smiles slightly, but you knew he was upset. its what we had to do... its whats best.

he walks away, turning the corner.

i will always love you noah beck.
