Rose's POV:-
*yawns* (slowly opens my eyes) "where am i-... (realizes) OH SHIT I accidentally slept what time is it now, *10 am* WHAT?! I slept that long T.T, wher- where's Noah?" I quickly get up and go outside the room to look for Noah and there I see him cooking in the kitchen.
"Noah what are you doing? You're sick you should've woken me up!"
Noah: "I would but I didn't want to disturb you."
"Speaking of that I bet I was sleeping in your living room so, why did I end up in your room?"
Noah: I saw you sleeping in a very uncomfortable position so I carried you to my room and made you lie down on my bed."
*cheeks turn red* "Bu- but you're sick you aren't supposed to do stuff like that."
Noah:- "ahh I feel better now, I felt like I was about to dose off but then I saw that you slept so, I had to put you on my bed."
"Then where did you sleep?"
Noah:- I slept on the couch but I woke up right after a few minutes, so I decided I should make something for us to eat."
" that's okay but you should have slept on your own bed since you're the one who is sick not me, I would have slept here right on the couch." (Smirks)
What is he even smirking for ugh
(he smiled and nodded and went quiet)
"So what are you making for breakfast?"
Noah:- "I'm making mixed rice with uni, is that okay for you to have?"
"Yep, it's great in fact."
I saw him struggle a little bit making it so I decided to pop in and help him even though he insisted I sit on the chair but I told him instead to sit back so I could make it but he wouldn't listen to me at all and keeps insisting to help me, so I gave him to chop a few veggies.
Noah:- "ow, damn it!"
As soon as I heard his voice I quickly left everything I was doing and turned around and I saw his finger bleeding I quickly ran to the room to get the aid box and I came back with it and told him to sit down as I apply the ointments and bandage....
(Gets furious) " What did I tell you about not helping me? Huh? I did clearly tell you that you still need rest to heal quickly so, will you now just sit down on the couch quietly and stop making me sick worried about you now?!"
Noah:- "worried? Are you worried sick about me" (corner of his lips lowers down a bit)
"what do you mean? Of course, I am then should I just stand still seeing you bleed or what?"
He pushes me in a lying position on the couch holding my shoulder sitting right on me bending down
Noah:- "You do really confuse me or it might be the other way around to play with me if I'm right about it you did clearly say I am neither your boyfriend nor you're my girlfriend so why the heck would you even bother about me HUH?! I'm already tired of everything around me and losing people."
( i scowled ) pushing him back strongly and taking my stuff and dashing out of this house.
"What is even wrong with him, he didn't commit himself to it while speaking in front of the bullies did he? Ahhhhhh I don't know" *murmuring in a frustrated way*
As I walk into my house I don't seem to see my dad here probably because it's Sunday today so he wouldn't be here. I ran upstairs to my room and laid down on my bed and couldn't help but think about him because what he said really affected my mind and soul that couldn't be at rest also I had this weird feeling that I couldn't describe I couldn't recognize if it was hate or love for him it was pretty much messed up. I heard the doorbell ring I got up from my bed to go open the door, it was the dad I didn't think he would arrive this soon to home since it's Sunday as he is barely in the house this day anyways he came inside and sat on the couch while I sat on the other couch, I couldn't help but ask since he didn't even bother to ask...
"Dad, were you even home yesterday?"
Dad:- "yeah, I was why'd you ask tho?"
"Because you haven't called where I was yesterday or else you would call me every time I was late."
Dad:- "oh yeah so where were you?"
*sighs* " I was at my friend's house for some sort of college work."
He just nodded and got himself a can of cold drink and started drinking watching tv not bothering with whoever I was with or what work it was, as expected, why would he care, I was stupid hoping that he would be worried but he isn't at all more like he is living his life in his own world. I didn't wanna waste my time here with him so I frowned and went to my room. As I was about to take a nap my phone rang and it was Noah.
"What does he want now?" *Picks up the call*
Noah:- "hey, i- I wanted to apologize earlier about what I said."
His voice does sound a Little husky and hot ugh what is wrong with my head these days I think I should bang my head on the pole maybe then it would be better and these silly thoughts wouldn't occur, I'm supposed to be mad at him for yelling at me like that inappropriately making me embarrassed.
"Yeah right and?"
Noah:- "um...
"Oh yeah where did you even get my number from I guess we never exchanged our numbers?"
Noah:- "I took it from the college register."
Rose:- "Mhm is there anything else on your mind now that you've apologized."
Noah:- "You still seem mad don't you? I really feel bad the way I yelled at you I should have thought before I did something like that put you in an uncomfortable position, I did that because I couldn't help myself as I want you so badly.."
Wait what did he just say? I- i - want y- you?! *heartthrobs rapidly, cheeks turn red, hesitates*
Rose:- "Wh- what?"
Noah:- "Yes, you did hear me right I want you, and I'm sorry for the way I behaved earlier, I feel like you are my safe place and the only person that I ever opened up with."
Hearing that did make me happy forgetting the fact that I was even angry with him. I blushed even more and kept quiet and he knew what my silence meant so further he said...
Noah:- "I never smiled in a while as I did with you because your smile is what makes me smile and keeps me going on, I really don't know what I'd be like if you weren't there for me."
He really said that all in a serious tone and he meant it all and made me even happier that I was able to do the least for him to live up :)
"Alright, I accept your apology but I really need to go make some lunch so I have to hang up okay? Bye."
*disconnects the call*
The next day........
As I wake up as a fresh start of the day I did what I usually do and went to college
And when I reach there I saw the same bunch of girls surrounding Noah and I didn't like the things I saw but as this couldn't be enough a girl ran to him and hugged him tightly and said: "I love you, Noah we'd make a great couple together." I did get mad but also disgusted the way she just confronted suddenly without even considering his feelings or knowing him well *ugh* I tried to ignore the scenario and went to my class...
Noah's POV:-
I am so tired of these girls surrounding and the audacity they have after bullying my girl and still coming back to me shamelessly as if nothing happened...
"Um I appreciate the love and concern you have for me but please let me have my privacy you guys can't surround me like that every single morning- who even hugg
Random girl:- "Noah, I love you! we'd totally make a great couple together"
"WHAT? Who said we'd be a couple at first place?"
Oh no- I bet Rose saw all that since she was going to her classroom so I make a way for myself rushing towards her...
"Good morning Rose, I hope things arent as awkward between us anymore."
Rose:- "Yeah right, if it wasn't you with those bunch of girls."
" Wait, do you think I give a damn about them Rose? I don't even care about them since they only cling on to me just because of my looks, and that girl she came at me suddenly that I couldn't even think about moving away quickly but I did make a way to come to yo-.. but why am I explaining all this, you aren't even my girlfriend so why get worked over nothing? huh" (huge smirk on his face)
Rose:- *blushes* S- SO? Does that mean you would just do nothing while those girls surround you or hug you? I just said it that way because they might take advantage of you and nothing else don't get the wrong idea."
*laughs* "okay okay fine I was just teasing you."
Rose:- *pouts angrily*
"Wait wait could you do that thing again you just did?"
Rose:- "what thing you dummy?"
"The thing you did with your lips, pout- angry pout you looked cute I've never seen you this way!" (Smiles with his upper teeth)
Rose:- ugh NOAH! (Slaps on his arms and walks quickly into the classroom)
*laughs and giggles* Fine okay!
Rose's POV:-
He smiles and laughs also giggles so adorably uwu~ ROSE ARE YOU IN LOVE WITH HIM OR WHAT?! You are definitely confusing him by your acts omg T.T what should I doo~ *whines mentally*
Noah suddenly grabs my hands but then I shrug him off by removing my hand....
Noah:- "you don't like it this way?"
Rose:-"Noah I'm serious now just leave me alone and go and do something about those group of girls before I shave their head off."
Noah:- "Rose I thought you over it now, are you still worried about what they might do to me?"
"shut up Noah, can't you be serious sometimes?"
Noah:- "Then be mine first, my girlfriend."
"WH-WHAT? How can you just say it anytime you want to?"
Noah:- "I'm being serious now and you aren't" (Noah turns around to walk away as he gets angry)
(Rose getting worked up not knowing how to stop him suddenly she grab his shirt from the back)
Rose:- I must confess shouldn't I? This is driving me crazy for a while now okay so here I go....
"I was gonna hold it in for a bit longer but YOU JUST- *sighs* fine I like you dummy I was confused about my feelings for you at first but then I realized that I feel for you and I didn't like the way those girls were with you."
He turns a little and see me crying he then grabbed my hand and took me to the laboratory
because I couldn't hold my tears in and it was weird that I couldn't maybe because I confessed? I turn around from him and wipe my tears it did feel embarrassing, while he removes my hand gently and wipes my tears with his thumb, and embraces me into his arms by patting my head gently telling me...
Noah:- " I've been liking you for a while too and everything is gonna be alright okay? And your presence has always made my heart flutter and happy in these many years so far, you're the prettiest girl I've ever seen and I'd do anything for you so trust me?" (Keeps a smile on his face)
I somehow felt like the burden was taken off from my shoulders after confessing and hearing those words from him as I wanted the time to remain like this forever being embraced into his gentle arms and the warm scent from him that makes me wanna hug him forever.
He whispered into my ear saying, "you're mine now. mine alone"
Which made me turn crimson red. Ever since that day, we started dating and learning about each other.
A few weeks later.........
It was the last day of college and I saw Noah being upset. I comforted him and tried helping him out and asking if he is okay but every time I came to ask about him he kept a bright fake smile so I should not be worried and wouldn't answer my questions and change the topic.
So we did get a long summer break
I tried reaching out to him and texting and calling but he wouldn't read or call back nor pick up my calls, I was worried sick about him and my mind wouldn't be at rest at all.
But then a day finally came when he texted me I dropped whatever I was doing and I quickly opened the text but I wasn't expecting what he wrote and it made me tear up so much that everything went blurry for me to see anything and my heart started hurting.
Noah's text:-
Rose, I am very sorry as I apologize deeply from the bottom of my heart I didn't want things to end this way at all and neither I'm happy about this so unfortunately, I will be leaving this city and I don't think we'd meet ever again, don't cry or bother looking for me I want you to be safe and happy every day, please do take care of yourself,
Bye, I love you
Xxxxxx
-Noah
I cried the whole night till my eyes swelled up, I didn't even get a chance to say goodbye and hug him, all I felt was being miserable and depressed.
...to be continued🧍🏻♀️..........🧍🏻
POEM
LOVE WAS UNHEARD
BUT MY FEELINGS WERE HEARD
THOSE DAYS OF US TOGETHER ARE NOW MELTED LIKE SNOW
SCARS WERE LEFT ON MY HEART
NOT ABLE TO HEAL BY ITSELF
WILL YOU BECOME THE REASON TO HEAL IT
BECAUSE YOU ARE MY ONLY HEALER.....
