"I don't want to go back to her place." Lexi said firmly after I explained to her what I found about between Mia and Luke. "How am I supposed to get my stuff? I'm not staying there!" I exclaim and Noah rubs my shoulders to calm me down. "I'll go." Noah says and I turn around and look at him. "Then I'm staying at your place." I say and he shrugs. "Parents are out of town for a good 5 months anyway." He said. "Should we come?" Luke says gesturing to him and Lexi. "Luke, I don't want to go near her though." She whines and he pulls her to his chest.
"Baby, she can't hurt you if I'm there." He coaxes and my heart literally melts for them. "Madison, stop giving us googly eyes." Lexi says and I roll my eyes as we get into our designated cars. We both speed to Mia's house. We all head towards the door and I pull in a deep breath before unlocking the door. We all step in and we hear music and girlish giggles. We walk into the sitting room and Mia is there, with Victoria, Charlotte and the rest of her friends. I immediately roll my eyes and walk upstairs with Noah holding onto my hand. "Where do you think you're going?" Mia barks with a smirk and I stare her dead in the eyes.
Her face breaks at the intensity of my stare. "Going to get my stuff." I say. "She's such a bitch. Prancing around with the man that's rightfully mine." Victoria mutters but loud enough so everyone can hear. I'm nearly up the stairs but I stop to glare at her. "With your fake ass hair as well as body and your life, no man will want you, whore." I say before walking up and into my bedroom. I angrily march to my closet and grab most of the clothes I can grab. I head to the bathroom to take my straightner and curling wand and walk back into my room to grab some shoes.
I put it all in a mini suitcase. Noah stops me before I leave the room. "We left Lexi and Luke with the rest of them." He warns. My eyes widen and I run out of the room and to the top of the staircase. Lexi is in a corner with Luke covering her while Mia is attempting to attack her and Victoria and her friends are backing Mia. My eyes dart around at the scene in front of me. I run downstairs to face Mia. "Can you stop with your bullshit ok?We literally just came for my stuff! Leave her alone!" I yell and Mia doesn't even flinch.
"She took him from me! He's the one thing I ever loved and she stole him without even realising." Mia screams and I slap her hard across the face. "Get over yourself bitch." I say and she lunges at me. I kick her hard in the gut and punch her nose, hearing a crack. Blood streams down her face and she stumbles into the arms of Victoria. "Get yourself off me, slut!" She screams and runs out of the house with her friends following behind. Lexi and Luke are already running out to get in their car.
Noah is behind me with my suitcase and I look at Mia one more time. She's kneeling on the floor covering her face with blood seeping from in between her fingers. I place the suitcase down. "Put in the car and wait for me, please." I whisper to Noah and he nods before kissing my forehead and walking out of the house and shutting the door. I go into the kitchen and grab a bunch of tissues and kneel opposite her and hand them to her. She mumbles a thank you and takes them from me. "I-I-I'm sorry." She whispers. "Mia, I don't know if I can forgive you yet. It's Lexi and Luke, the people you need to apologise to." I finish and get up.
"I hope you make the right decision." I say before leaving the room and shutting the door.
I walk towards Noah, who's standing in front of my car with Luke and Lexi. I run into his arms with tears streaming down my face. "I-I lost her." I say in between cries. He wraps his arms around me and doesn't say anything. "She's the last person I ever thought I would lose and now she's gone." I say in his shirt and he carries me to the car and places me in the back seat. Luke and Lexi get into Luke's car and drive off. I put my head in my hands.
Noah gets in and drives to his house. When we arrive, I've calmed down. It's going to take me ages to accept the fact that Mia is no longer a friend, I have to move on. I get out of Noah's car and try to pull my suitcase out of the boot.
What the fuck did I pack in here?!?
"Need a little help?" Noah smirks behind me. "No Noah." I grumble stupidly. "Your so stubborn." He says and pulls it out for me. I roll my eyes and walk to the door. The door swings open and Aiden stands there with a concerned look. "What did Noah do now?" He asks. "He won't let me take the suitcase out the boot myself!" I whine and fold my arms. "Stubborness is literally all over you." He says and laughs at my childish face.
"You guys are rude. Where's my favourite Johnson?" I ask and Noah comes up to me. "I'm right here." He says with open arms and I push my palm in his face. "I'm hereee!" Liliana shouts and runs into the room. "There she is!" I yell and pick her into my arms before spinning her around until she explodes into a fit of giggles. I carry her into the living room and we all sit down and chat for a bit. "So what happened exactly? I'm still lost. I was in the toilet." Aiden says and Liliana let's out a heartwarming giggle.
"Mia and Luke broke up because Luke realised he had feelings for Lexi and Mia got mad and snapped at Lexi but Lexi didn't know at the time that they had broken up or that he liked her. She ran to the bathroom and when I found her she had a knife in her hand, a deep cut and tears spilling down her face. Do you get it now?" I ask and Aiden thinks for a second before answering, "Nope." I want to reach over and slap him.
"Luke and Mia broke up cause Luke's whipped for Lexi and Mia's jealous. Basically." Noah explains and Aiden nods his head. "Cool, I get it now."
I roll my eyes at him. "So where is Lexi?" Aiden asks. "She's at home. We all used to crash at Mia's place but obviously not anymore." I mutter.
"Baby, how did Mia get a broken nose?" Noah asks and I look at the ground. "Oh, well. Umm. I kinda, You know." I stutter. "You hit her?!" Aiden exclaims. "Bitches need beatings." I say with a shrug before looking at my nails. "You have a violent girlfriend." Aiden mutters to Noah and my head snaps up and Aiden flinches and cries, "Don't hurt me!" I roll my eyes and get up. "I'm gonna put my stuff away." I say. "Do you need he-" Noah questions.
"No!" I interrupt and haul the suitcase to the staircase. I look up the stairs and sigh before lifting it up. I drop it on the floor with ease once I've reached the top.
I walk into a guest bedroom and get to work with putting all my things away. I take off my makeup and change into sweatpants and a clean sports bra. I head downstairs again and everyone is sitting on the couch. Liliana was in the corner, playing with a dollhouse. I go to sit with Noah and he lets me with open arms. He lays on my chest again and starts creating circles on my chest with his finger. The little touches ignite a fire inside of me.
I look down and smile at him but he's already looking up. I lean down to kiss him and he turns his head so I kiss him on the cheek.
***********************
"It's time for bed honey." I say and Liliana objects. "I don't wanna sleep!" She complains in the most childish voice I've ever heard. I grab her and haul her onto my back and as she attempts to wriggle free, I speed walk to her room. I let her go once she drops onto her bed and pouts at me. "Go and brush your teeth." I say gently and she jumps off the bed and runs to the bathroom. 5 minutes later, her little feet run back into the room and climbs into the bed. She picks up a book and starts reading. I kiss her forehead before walking out of the room towards the guest bedroom.
I lie on the bed on my laptop looking at colleges. I know that I only just started my senior year and it's September but I don't know what college I'm going or if I'm even going. Would I want to leave my family behind here at Florida, but I've always wanted to study at Falls or Colorado or even New York. Noah jumps onto my bed and lays his head on my lap looking at the screen. "What college are you going to?" He asks and I shrug. "I don't know if I'm even going." I sigh and his head shoots up to look at me. He notices my stressed out self and pulls me in for a hug.
"Where will I get the money to go? Will I want to leave Liam behind?" I ask myself out loud. He strokes my hair and whispers, "I would pay for it for you." I raise my eyebrow at him. he takes my laptop and does some typing while I look at him concerned. He turns to face the laptop in my direction. It's a bank account with a very very large number as his balance. My eyes widen and I look at him in disbelief. "Did I ever tell you that my mom works as a doctor, travelling to different countries and my dad has 5 star hotels all across America?" He says and I shake my head with my mouth hung open.
"Y-Y-You can't pay for my college. I don't wanna take your money. I-" I begin before he shuts me up with a kiss.
"I would give up so much for you. I don't think you realise that." He explains calmly and I look at my hands. "You don't have to do that." I whisper and he lifts up my head softly to look at him. "I would. And I will," He says sternly and I nod. " And your stubborn self won't stop me." He states and I roll my eyes with a smile on my face.
"Wait. Why are you even here?" I ask. "I should be asking you that question. My beautiful girlfriend should be sleeping next to me and not in a completely different room." He states and I grab my phone before he picks me up and carries me to his room. Aiden is playing on their PS4. He turns around and raises his eyebrow at both of us. "Don't look at me, you're the one with a clingy brother." I say.
He shrugs and goes back to playing his game.
Noah puts me down onto his bed and lies next to me. I put my phone aside and cuddled into his chest until I fell into a deep sleep.
