Mr. Popular

Chapter X

Struggling to push him off me while he forced his tongue in my mouth, panic settled in my chest, but with adrenaline kicking in, I kneed him in the balls, making him back away as he grunted in pain.

Not looking back, I made a ran for it, but as soon as I reached our table, "what the fuck?" I muttered under my breath while staring at the empty seats.

After quickly scanning the room, I couldn't see the others anywhere. Before my mind could think, my legs automatically started walking towards the lobby to take the elevator up to Noah's room. I needed to see him, be in his arms and feel safe again.

Feeling agitated, I immediately tried the handle and was relieved when the door opened. Rushing inside, "Noah" I called out for him, but stopped in my tracks at the sight of him and Addison kissing, while she sat on top of him in bed.

*Noah's POV

Hearing Bryony's voice, I pulled away and my heart dropped when I saw her staring at us. As soon as our eyes met, she turned around and rushed outside.

Pushing Addison off me, I ran after her and before she could reach her door, "you kissed Drew" I said as we stood in the hallway.

Turning around, "what?" She asked in a small voice, "don't give me that bullshit, I saw you" I angrily said, "oh, you mean when he forced himself on me?" She said matching my tone. With my jaw clenched, "he did what?" I thought out loud.

Wanting to hold her and protect her, I closed the distance, but when I tried to wrap my arms around her, she pushed me away, "is that why you were about to have sex with her?" She asked while gesturing towards my room.

Taking my silence as a yes, "you couldn't just talk to me like a fucking adult?" She angrily said making me hang my head in shame, "I'm sorry let me explain" I started to say but, "what's going on?" We heard Peyton ask as she approached us.

Wrapping an arm around her, they exchanged a look before Bryony faced me again, "no, I'm sorry for thinking I could ever trust you" she said with her voice cracking, making my heart ache.

When they turned to walk away, "Bryony" I called out to her, but Peyton protectively stood in front of her while glaring at me, "I'm sorry" I said in a small voice, as they entered their room and locked the door behind them.

Not knowing what to do, I rested my forehead against the door when I heard footsteps approaching. As soon as Drew saw me, he looked worried as I clenched my fists.

Marching towards him, I roughly grabbed him by his shirt and held him against the wall, "how could you?" I angrily asked, resisting the urge to punch him in the face.

Noticing him look behind me, I turned around and saw Addison walking out of my room. They exchanged a look before she walked into their room, "you're the one to talk" he said with a scoff.

Feeling disgusted with myself, I let go of him and, giving Bryony's door a glance, I walked back into my room and locked the door behind me.

When my alarm went off the next morning, I felt like a zombie. The guilt kept me awake and I was hoping to hear back from Bryony after spamming her with messages all night, but nothing.

I couldn't blame her. As soon as Drew left for some fresh air and Peyton left to call Logan, I quickly went to find Bryony because, as cheesy as it sounded, I missed her and I wanted some alone time, even if it would have been for only a few minutes.

When I saw Drew all over her, it broke my heart and wanting to get back at them, I went to Addison and made a move. It felt so wrong, but I refused to think rationally. I felt so resentful.
