"Ashanti, you have to calm down, or he will hear you," she says lowly. I shrug my shoulders. "I don't care. Fuck him," I spat. "Say that one more time, I dare you," Noah says calmly. My eyes widen in shock, hearing his voice. I didn't realize he was here. Fuck, I just messed up. Why couldn't I just keep my big-ass mouth shut? ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Updates Every Sunday!
