Chapter 21

Noah's POV:

*Flashback*

When I first knew that Dylan was the one that did this to Scott I knew that one way or another, sooner or later, Lori was gonna know. To be honest, I've been wanting to actually ask Lori out, but first I knew that I had to take permission from someone. Not her father, not her mother, but her older brother Cameron. He's the one that frightens me, he's the older brother and feels very responsible for his brother and sister. So when I asked for his permission, he looked at me at first like someone who had just stabbed him in the chest, then he smiled and told me that it was okay and then he asked me if I wanted to play a game with him and I agreed, one led to the other until it was time to go. I opened the door and when I was getting out he said these exact same words "I swear to god if you hurt my sister, and broke her heart, I am gonna break your nose and you will never ever have a chance to have kids and I am not kidding." He looked at me and his eyes were a darker age than before. I gulped then nodded my head and left.

*Present time*

I was getting ready for my and Lori's date. It wasn't something fancy, it was kinda like any very first date which is the movies and then we were going to have dinner at any fast food place. I was very excited about this date, I mean, I went on millions of dates with Sarah, and at first, they were very amazing at first, but then, later on, I started to feel nothing towards them at all. I am not gonna lie when we went to have dinner at Lori's and they started talking about the marriage and all, I was so happy because I have been trying to find any excuse to break up with Sarah and this was the perfect opportunity. No one had seen or known how Sarah reacted, it was terrible. I swear to god she was screeching like a dead cat or something.

*Flashback*

I knocked on the door waiting for Sarah to open the door so I can finally break over with her, I was starting to get bored of her and I know that this sounds so rude or something but she was getting on my nerves. When she came to my house once and she met my sister she freaked out thinking that I was cheating on her but the thing is that I have told her millions of times that I have a damn sister. Later on, this escalated to her not wanting me to look or talk to any girls, she would call me over 30 times a day! 30 FREAKING TIMES! So she could see where I was going or who was I texting and stuff like that. She opened the door and greeted me with a lot of kissing but I kinda pushed her off me. She looked at me with hurt in her eyes, she was confused, if anyone else was in my place, they will actually feel sorry for her but I didn't, not even the slightest.

"Hey, sit down I want to talk to you," I told her.

"Yeah, sure what's up?" She asked me.

"I am breaking up with you," I said with no emotion in my eyes.

"What why?" She looked angry, like a lioness ready to attack her prey. You know the look that Nala had before attacking Pumba in the lion king, it was way worse than that.

"Well, there is something about forced marriage and I have to get married after senior year, and to be honest with you, you have been unbearable these past few weeks and I have had enough of you calling me more than 30 times a day and asking me who am I talking to or what I was doing. It's getting on my nerves, you even freaking call me when I am in the shower, you exploded in my sister's face, and called me a cheating brat, so I am pretty sure that the marriage isn't the reason why I am breaking up with you because I have every damn reason to." I took a large breath because I kept talking and talking without breathing.

"YOU SICK SON OF A BITCH, BREAK UP WITH ME OVER WHATEVER SHITTY PERSON YOU FOUND AND JUST MADE UP THIS REASON SO YOU CAN LEAVE ME, I AM SO DONE WITH YOU, YOU ARE LYING AND I KNOW THAT YOU ARE CHEATING ON ME FOR SURE...."To be honest, she kept talking and stuff, so I took this as a chance and got the hell out of that house before she tries strangling me.

*Present time*

See, she was crazy like really really crazy. I looked at the time and freaked out because I was supposed to meet Elena half an hour ago and I totally lost track of time. She probably thinks that I stood her up or having second thoughts. I got out my phone and called her, she answered after the first ring.

"Hey, I am so sorry that I am late, I lost track of time and didn't realize that I am half an hour late, I swear to god, I will make it up to you," I said completely freaked out.

"Noah relax, if you checked your phone earlier, you will find out that I texted you if we can meet at 8 instead if 7:30 but you didn't answer so I was about to call you."
