The ride to the hospital was fine, packed with pecks here and there. We were like a cheesy teenage couple who haven't seen each other in a year, but hey! Who am I to complain?

We got out of the car in a hurry as we entered the hospital. It was slightly busier than usual, but we already knew where we are going, so it doesn't matter. 

We asked for the doctor who did the cast on my arm, for the nurse scurried off checking if he is inside his room. 

Noah sighed, giving my hand the millionth glance today as guiltiness spread through his face. 

''Noah...'' I whined tiredly, ''for God's sake. This is not your fault. I was the one who came from behind you and held your hand, and also this same Emma was the one who hit Asher in his crooked face.''

Hos face went from soft to hard in a matter of seconds and I found myself cursing mentally. 

''You still didn't tell me why you hit him.'' He crossed his arms over his chest, challenging me to say no. I glared and turned around, giving him the cold shoulder. It's not like I don't want to tell him, but I needed to do that when both Lucas and Noah were present, so it's a real and fair deal. 

''So you are not going to talk?'' He stepped closer, and I really did feel the height difference as he towered over me. I tried not to look up at him because I knew I would go goner at the sight, so I held my chin up high, ignoring the little fangirl inside me. 

He sighed, stuffing his hands inside his pockets, ''Guess I'll have to find the hard way then.'' He muttered loud enough for me to hear. That little bastard. 

My jaw ticked as I waited for the relatively slow nurse, but soon got out of the room with a flustered look on her face. Dayum.... 

''He is ready to see you.'' Her face was tinted with red dust, and I couldn't help but snicker inwardly. I passed her a smile and moved to get into the room, followed by Noah.

''You don't have to come in w--'' He cut me off by pushing me into the room with him hot on my heels. Oh, okay then.

It took about 30 minutes before we were finally done inside. Nothing major, just a little bit of bruised knuckles. 

''I will go the toilet while you finish this, okay?'' I told Noah as he stood in front of the nurse, exchanging a few words about my arm as it was still healing, even though the cast was removed. He nodded his head, planting a kiss on the side of my face. 

I scurried off to the bathrooms, feeling the killer pressure on my precious bladder. I hopped up and down the way until I reached. Once okay, I washed my hand and dried them with tissues, all ready to get back to Noah. 

I started walking, and surprisingly the corridor was less crowded when it was literally packed with people moments ago. Shrugging, I took steps forward but stopped when I heard crumbling noise under my foot. I looked down and saw a pieces of crumbled papers. Lots of them. I frowned, bending down to get the litter. Isn't this place supposed to be clean all the time?

I picked them up when I noticed one neatly folded paper, it looked different from the others, in the shape of a little envelope. My eyes caught a sight of hand-writing on one of its sides, deepening my frown even more. 

'Emma Green' 

My eyes went as wide as saucers upon seeing my name, and with a heavy heart and trembling fingers, I unfolded the paper. 

'I have eyes everywhere, pretty girl. Take care of your beloved ones.'

A lump formed in my throat, and slowly my breathing rate quickened. I felt as if I was in a very narrow room, and it kept closing on me, suffocating me to death. My head started spinning in the ugliest way possible, vomit reaching up its peak in my mouth. A hard body collided with mine, knocking me to the ground. I crazily looked up to be met with a smirk from a huge man. His bruised, cut face didn't go un-noticed by me, and suddenly it all clicked. He was the same guy whom Noah and Levi saved me from at school. 

He gave me a nod, his smirk still sticking to his face as he passed the corridor, leaving me on the ground with too many thoughts. It all felt unreal for seconds, like I was in some sort of a movie, but sadly, it was far from that. I held the note close to my chest, whimpering in pain and turn of events. Just when you think everything is finally falling in place, a hurricane comes and mess it all up again. Too many hurricanes. 

''Emma!'' A concerned voice erupted in the empty hall way, shoving me out of my trance. As I looked eyes with him, I quickly stuffed the doomed note in the pocket of my jeans and looked at him as if nothing happened. 

''What's wrong? Why are crouched down like that?'' He bent down, taking my hand in his. 

I shook my head lightly, ''Uhm, litter... I just wanted to pick it up.'' I smiled, faintly, going back to picking up the crumbled pieces of papers. I couldn't meet his eyes; however, I could tell he could see through my lie, yet he didn't push it. 

He helped me up, keeping a tight hold on my waist as we exited the whole place. We entered his car, and he silently drove off. I felt bad that I couldn't tell him anything, but how could I? 

Hey, Noah. Your father wants us apart, or he will kill you, and probably me too in the process. 

Doesn't sound like a plan to me. I sighed before resting my head on the tinted window, getting lost in my own thoughts that I didn't notice I had went into deep slumber.

Light movements made me open my eyes hastily to recognize that I was moving. Moving? Emma, your legs are not moving. I shot up but got my face hit into a solid chest. I looked up and saw Noah shaking his head at my silly behavior; however, a small smile was tugged on his fine lips. 

Wait! Is he carrying me?

''W-wha-- Why are you carrying me?'' I hissed, twisting myself out of his grip, not that it did much difference because he still held me tightly up to his chest. I huffed, looking around and....Holy guacamole! What are we doing in my house!?

''Thank you Noah so much, come on I squeezed fresh oranges.'' My mum gushed as Noah lowered my body down to my bed. I looked at her weirdly, surprised by her attitude towards Noah, who she has just met. 

''Yeah that would be great.'' Noah smiled politely, exiting the room with her, both of them ignoring my existence .

''Hey!''

''What?'' Mum shouted from downstairs already. My eyes were wide as the sun, I literally felt as if I was third wheeling, at least let me understand something, people!

I got off my bed, going behind them in order to see what was happening. They were standing at kitchen counter, both laughing as mum handed him a cup of orange juice. 

''Do you know each other from before?'' I questioned, getting closer to them. Noah looked at the cup in hands, not sparing me a glance and I felt a slight pang in my chest.

Mum nodded her head, ''Yeah! He was Lucas's and Logan's friend. Dunno what happened between them, though, but I strongly disapprove of their split.''

I took in the information with a slightly surprised face because I didn't know mum knew about this. 

''I think it's better if I go now. Thank you for the juice, Mrs. Green.'' Noah thanked mum sincerely, putting down the cup on the counter. 

''It's okay, sweet heart. Emma, go with him to the door, please.'' Mum winked, turning away to wash the cups in which they both drank their juice in. I gulped at her, a fine layer of red dusting my cheeks. Noah was already by the door, getting ready to leave. I couldn't understand why was he acting cold when he was just fine at the hospital, so I quickly caught up to him just before he could go too far. The door was already opened, so I closed it after us, taking him by surprise. 

My hand reached out for his arm, ''What's wrong?'' He turned to me with locked jaw and mad eyes. 

''Nothing.'' He stated coldly, sending me to the edge even more. 

''No, tell me. Did I do something wrong?'' I looked up at him, my eyes not wavering away from his eyes and he the same. 

''I don't know, Emma.'' His voice was calm, but the anger behind it made my skin crawl, ''Why don't you think about it?'' He turned to leave, but I was quick in holding him back again.

I stood in front of him, taking his bulky arms into my petite hands in order to keep him in place, ''No, hey, what did I do wrong? It could be a misunderstanding.'' I said softly, earning a change of emotion is his beautiful stormy eyes. However, my happiness was long gone when they were placed with fury once again. 

''I don't want to fight you, but until you are ready to tell me everything you've been keeping away from me, I am afraid it would be too late.'' He said, gently, caressing my cheek. I bit my lip at what he said, contemplating what I should say now, but it all went in vain when he bent down a little, capturing my lips in a dazzling kiss. 

He wrapped his arms around me in a hastily behavior, both of us panting already from the intensity. I smiled at his lips as he tickled the little bit of skin that showed from under my t-shirt softly. He groaned, and in a crazy moment I was up in the air, legs around his torso. 

''Oh my God, behind the house...'' I whispered with a weak voice, and he obliged, not wasting a moment. 

His tongue slipped into my mouth, exploring every inch of it as if it was his first time doing so. My back was up against the house wall, legs tightly wrapped around him as I brought him in even closer to me. His mouth wondered down my jaw, leaving me with heavy breaths and tied up moans. 

''Fuck...'' He groaned, kissing the soft spot behind my ear, erupting a moan out of me. ''Baby, you're killing me.'' He grumbled, sucking hard on my exposed neck. 

''You smell so good,'' He mumbled, giving my neck feather, sloppy kisses. I gripped his shoulders, as yet another moan escaped my filthy mouth, reacting to his heavenly touches. 

''We should stop...'' I mumbled weakly, hoping I hadn't uttered those words. But we were literally at the backyard of my house, imagine what would happen if we get caught? I shuddered at the thought. 

''But we can still go on...'' He placed a kiss on my lips, staring at my eyes deeply. Green and grey striking together, it erupted some butterflies in my stomach involuntarily. ''I fucking missed you.'' He gripped my waist tightly, but not enough to hurt me. 

''I did too.'' I said, ''A lot.'' 

''Don't ever do that again, do you understand?'' He nuzzled his face in the side of my neck, ''Promise me that you will never leave me.'' He looked at me again, sincerity lacing his eyes. 

''What about you promise me because I could never think of it.'' I cupped his cheek. 

''I could never leave. I became dependent.'' He played with a fallen strand of my hair, tugging it behind my ear. I smiled, leaning to give him an earth shattering kiss. 

''Holy mother of sins!'' I shrieked, letting Noah set me back to the ground as we both scowled at a frantic Abby. ''Oh my God! You guys are back together! Holy shit, why were you doing it behind her house, though? Ooohhh, risky, I like that, but lemme tell you they are here, so I think Noah should run. Like right now! Run, Noah, run!'' 

''Shut up, dude! Are you on coffee?'' I asked her seriously. Coffee is like some sort of weed when it comes to Abby as she is already hyper all the time, so it adds fuel to the fire. 

She shook her head vigorously, ''Levi and I just made out.'' 

''Disgusting.'' Noah muttered from next to me, and I chuckled at him. 

''Hey, mister! And what were you doing moments ago? I could still see your boner for God's sake.'' I blushed deep red, avoiding eye contact with Noah. I could feel his glare at Abby as he held me, hiding my face into his chest, covering my embarrassment. 

''Fuck's sake.'' Noah muttered, not helping the situation at all. 

''Anyways, as I said they are here, so I think you should go.'' Abby started once again. 

''They know, we don't have to worry about that anymore.'' Noah said. 

Abby's jaw fell down, not hiding her shock at all, it felt refreshing seeing her like that, and I don't know why, ''Come again.'' 

''They caught us today at school. Lucas is outraged, but Logan is fine.'' I explained, mouthing out the words for the first time to the both of them.

Noah turned his head to me, ''He is?'' 

I nodded, ''Yeah, and there is something that he and I would like to discuss with the rest of you too.'' I elaborated further more. 

''Oh my God, what are we waiting for? Let's get this over with, besties.'' Abby grinned from ear to ear, already making her way into the house like a housefly. I shook my head at her, but didn't bother hiding my smile seeing her happy. 

''She is so precious.'' I sighed out loud. 

''And loud.'' He teased, forcing an aggressive kiss on my cheek as he led me on to the house once more. Mum looked at us weirdly, and it hit me that she still doesn't know that he is my boyfriend. She shot me a questioning look, earning from me the 'later' eyes. 

Noah and I ascended the stairs quickly, getting into my room. ''Wait here.'' I smiled, turning around to summon the others, but he reached for my hand and twirled me around. 

''It's my first time ever seeing your room in daylight.'' I giggled at his remark as he snaked his arms around me boyishly. ''It's a pleasure, Miss Green.'' His nose touched mine and I found myself hitching. Oh God...

''I really should go call the others, you can take this time exploring, though.'' I smiled and turned around to leave, but this time he actually let me go. 

I was faced with Logan once I got out of the room, to which he smiled before his expression darkened as he saw who was inside my room. ''Hey, tiger, Mom knows he is here, plus I was just about to call you and Lucas.'' I explained quickly. 

''Lucas is with Carter in his room. He is still angry, so let me get him, but you will come with me.'' I nodded as we both entered Lucas's room without knocking. Abby trailed after us, gripping my hand as a way to tell me she was nervous. I shot her a reassuring look, shifting my attention to a silent Lucas. 

''What's that? Is there something, you guys?'' Carter asked, overwhelmed by our entrance. 

''Yeah, Logan and I sorta found something concerning Lucas, and we would like to share it.'' I said, my eyes focused on Lucas to see his reaction. His eyes rose up, squinted in question, and I found myself relaxing that he for the least was willing to listen to what we had to say. 

''I need you to come into my room, and once you do...try to stay calm, or I swear, I will never talk to you again.'' I warned, shaking my pointer finger in his face. He rolled his eyes and stood up. We all became alert as we guided ourselves back to my room.

My eyes widened when Noah was no-where to be found, my pulse danced in my veins painfully as I waited for any indication that he was still here and didn't just bail on me. I-- 

''I've never really knew your room could be this fun in the morning.'' Noah came out of my dresser, in his hands...a red bra. My eyes balls fell on the floor as his looked at us in shock, muttering a small 'shit'. 

Next thing I know, Lucas is flying across the room in attempt to get a strong grip on Noah, who automatically got into fight mode. I shrieked in surprise as they both fell on the bed, missing punches as they rolled, creating a mess. 

''Freaking hell!'' Mum screamed from outside the room, harshly closing the door on us.

Abby shook me vigorously, ''I'd have recorded that shit.'' I rolled my eyes, deciding to interfere before my bed is ripped apart. 

I was about to take a step forward when Logan and Carter stopped me, ''Do you have a plan?'' Shaking my head no, they nodded as we all jumped on the bed, trying to tame these bulls. 

I fell on Noah, straddling his lap with my legs around him as the others held Lucas back in place, pinning him to the bed. Noah looked up at me, his breaths ragged, hair tousled all around, nose flaring every second of the minute; but that all started ceasing when we stayed like that for almost a minute. Everyone was calm, not a word uttered around the now messy room. 

''Not because I am okay with this I get to see you on top of him, Emma.'' Logan said in a deadly tone, breaking the silence, making me jump away in the instant. 

''Okay with what exactly?!'' Lucas shouted, struggling to get out of Carter's and Logan's hold. I flinched at the sound of my brother's anger, thinking about all the possible scenarios that could happen right now. 

''We are not here to discuss that, Lucas. I chose that I am fine with them dating, and I am not waiting for your opinion about it, but we are here now to tell you something else.'' Logan's voice was firm, held no place for negotiations. He stood up from the bed and looked at Abby, ''Where is Levi?'' 

''He should be here by now, I called him.'' She answered excitedly, happy the by the big reveal. 

Carter kept looking at me from across the room, wanting to know what was happening exactly, but I kept telling him wait until Levi is here, so we could get this over with. 

''I am here.'' Levi announced once inside the room, ''Oh, what's happening?'' He asked once he saw us all in the room, giving each other death glares. He went to Abby, hugging her side into his as she blushed, resting her head onto his chest. Awwww...

''Okay, folks. Here we go.'' Logan started.

XOXO

I hope you are all safe and sound. Love you <3

See ya,
