Noah POV
The Guards help me lay on my bed, I told them to leave right away. Closing my door they left.
Getting up of my bed my thoughts went to her.
After leaving her house, I met some my friends who were going to a party including Allen they force me attend the party which I did.
I think they had something mix with my apple juice that I was drinking.
She doesn't give an explanation and always tells me to leave or don't talk to her.
Taking the Vase from the Nearby table I crashed on the floor taking my anger out on it which made my hand bleed.
She always hurts me and that too without any reason.
My versions is started to get blurry, taking out my phone from my pocket, I then lay on my bed.
I called her and put the phone on speak, closing my eyes.
Marwah: hello?
I heard her voice.
Noah: thank god you answered my call!
Marwah: Noah it's 3 am. Are you out of your mind.
Noah: Yes for you! Ahhh...my head hurts.
marwah: what happen? Are you okay?
Marwah: wait.....are—are you drunk?
Noah: just a little.
Marwah: where are you? Are you okay?
Noah: I'm home.....what is it with you? And your attitude? Being rude to me it hurts me.

End POV

Disconnecting the call, sleep left her eyes. She sat up in her bed, she made wudu and pray. She couldn't help but feel guilty, because of her. He was hurt. She blamed herself, she kept on repeating 'I should have known him by now'
She made dua that. If Noah is the right person for her. Keep him with her. If he's not the person she's destined to be, keep him away. And make my heart strong"
She kept on overthinking about the whole situation,
The rest of the night she couldn't sleep. Her phone alarm rang reminding her that it's Fajr time.

On this side, Logan Jackson father of Noah was standing near his office window in Europe. Lighting up his cigarette.
"Yes sir, the guards that was keeping eyes on him informed us it was true." Logan turn around looking at his guard Ben.
Logan was Inform again about his son. "Yes, it seems that Noah sir really loves her. They have been together, if I heard it right, I heard that she didn't talk to him I think she was Upset with him. Which made him angry and led him to the bar, and drink lot. He had been aggressive towards the guards too."
Logan nods sitting down on His chair. "At first, I let him do whatever he wants. Because I thought this will be over with her, like he does with any girl. She's really becoming a distraction isn't she?" Ben Shakes his head "No I mean not yet. His grades are up, he's been doing good this year, less complains are coming from the teachers."
Logan smirks looking at his phone. "Let him, let him enjoy a little more, in a few weeks after school. I will call him here. And that little girl will no longer be in his life. I don't want him to be attached....which leads to.." he paused as his phone rang.
"You go, keeping updating me." Bens nods walking out of the office.

"Talk to me. I'm here to listen you. I want to be your comfort." She looks at him. As he kisses her eyes and noise, making her shiver.
She puts her head in his chast closing her eyes, "I'm sorry, I'm so sorry for always hurting you. For always making you worried." He sadly smiles closing his eyes hugging her to him.
After a few seconds, opening her eyes she try to step back but he wouldn't let her.
"Noah." She said softly. "I need space, you're hugging so tightly." She chuckle. He losen his grip and pull back looking at her.
She sigh touching her head and looking back at him.
"You want to share? Why you acted earlier? What is it bothering you?" He said stepping so close to her.
"I don't know...." She said 'I have fallen for you Noah, And I'm scared.' Is what she wanted to say but she didn't.
"I will tell you later." She said softly looking up.
"You sure Babe?" He says softly kissing the top of her nose. She slightly push him back "Stop-stop doing that." He laughs
Her cheeks turn red looking away from him. "Not funny" she says to him covering her face with the ends of the hijab smiling.

She kept on trying to remove his hands and push him back.
Marwah tears were falling.
"Don't you understand how fucking hurt I am. My feelings?...." He paused.
"Noah please" "You're always fucking telling me. How tired you are. But me...what about me? How hurt I was and I am.. You didn't even called me once. To ask about me. What kind of cold hearted are you? For always torturing me mentally and physically. Don't you- you have a little feeling toward me. This whole year has passed and school is about to end. My patient is running out. I said I will wait and I'm waiting for you. But you're actions? You need to communicate with me! Tell me what's bothering you, that's making you stay away from me. You tell me we can talk through this out, and solve this problem out. How many fucking times, do I have to remind you that I'm not going to leave you.
I want a forever with you. I want you in my future as my wife. I will give every little fucking thing up in this world to have you. But now...what you did to me." His tears left his eyes.
"I'm broken...my heart is broken...what did I do? I love you. I never forced you. Why—why can't you just admit you want me? Why can't I get your love and affection and return I-" "please I beg you stop"
His eyes darken, she turn her face away. Removing the scarf from her face. He kissed her cheek. Leaving her hands he cupped her face.
He kissed her eyes. She kept on trying to push him back. He kissed her nose and her tears. He kiss her cheeks again and lean in for her lips. He desperately wanted them.
"Please don't —Noah" she sobbed.
He takes a step back and made her look at him.
"You never understood me." He said it so softly yet deadly walking away from her.

The whole day passed.
Now which was 5am she was laying on her bed. Eyes closed.
She had cried the whole night, his every word killed her. His reaction, his eyes filled with tears, his words which were fill with pain.
All she felt was guilt. She did realized her actions had hurt him. The way she would ignore him.
With tears the whole nigh, she couldn't sleep. All her thoughts were on Noah. She kept on changing positions but it didn't help her.
He was right, she thought I talk to him when I wanted. I would ignore him when I wanted and that was never okay.
