Love Is Deadly

Chapter Fifteen

There's one thing that I hate in this world, and that's liars. They disgust me in so many ways. How can someone say something but not mean it. It hurts people and that's not okay. Lying can cause people to lose trust in you and worse not even want to associate with you, however if you treat someone worse then possible you can end up severely beaten, or end up dead.

It's 4:00 in the afternoon and I'm currently surfing the web seeing if I have any ideas for my essay that's due in 1 hour. I have only half of it done and it is due really soon, I honestly don't even think I can finish it in one hour. It was the last day today before Thanksgiving break and I'm excited because my mom had planned for Josh and I to go to the beach along with her and our Uncle Calvin.

My phone buzzes and I look over to see a text from Noah.

Are you busy?

I open it and wait a minute and then reply.

No why?

Noah opens it and leaves me on read, but then five minutes later there's a knock on the door.

"I'll get it"! I yell and run downstairs, and open the door, revealing Noah.

"Let's go". He says.

"What? Where"?

"You'll see, come on". He says trying to grab my hand.

"Why do you do this? Show up at my house unannounced and then just take me somewhere".

"Because you're a boring person and you need to have more fun". He shrugs.

"Wow, thanks". I mumble.

"Now are you coming or not"?

"I have to finish my essay". I say shrugging.

"You can finish it later". He says tugging my arm lightly.

"If I say yes, will you stop coming over anytime you want"?

"Uh I can't make any promises". Noah laughs and I roll my eyes.

"Let me go get my hoodie". I mumble walking inside the house, running upstairs and grabbing my hoodie.

I get back downstairs and see no sight of Noah.

"Noah"?! I yell.

"In here"! He yells back, his voice coming from the study.

I walked in the study and saw him holding a picture of my family and I on our beach trip a couple years ago.

His eyes were concentrated and once he noticed me waiting for him he put the picture back and walked out the room without saying a word.

"You okay"? I ask as we get situated in the car.

"Yeah". He mumbles softly, then takes off.

As he's driving I take time to notice the tattoos along his arm.

Noah must have caught me staring at him because he snaps me out of my trance by saying "is something wrong? Why are you staring at me like that"?

"Did they hurt"? I ask as his green eyes focus on the road ahead.

"What"?

"Oh, your Tattoos, did they hurt"? I ask a little louder and he shrugs.

"I don't mind the pain that much".

"Oh. Where are we going"? I ask and he looks at me for a second.

"A club".

My eyes widen and he notices, chuckling at my reaction.

"Not a nightclub, just a karaoke club". He says and I feel calm after hearing that.

We soon arrive and once we get there I notice the place is packed.

"We're here". He smiles parking the car and running over to my side to open the door for me. I mumble a small thank you and he takes my hand and we walk in together.

Noah walks me over to one of the seats and a couple is singing Beyoncé on stage. Noah asks one of the waiters for a drink and looks at the couple on stage.

"Their good". I say to Noah and he shrugs.

"We could do better". He mumbles taking a sip of his beer that the waiter just gave him.

"I can't sing". I laugh and he shakes his head.

"I doubt that. You can do everything else. Have you ever tried singing"? He asks and I shrug.

"Does the shower count"? He chuckles and gets out of his chair walking to the guy working the karaoke stand whispering something in his ear. He then points to me motioning his finger for me to come up there.

"What are we doing"?

"Just follow my lead alright". He whispers in my ear, and hands me a piece of paper with lyrics written on it.

He then starts singing, and I listen to the lyric, swaying my head back and forth to the soft music.

"I knew I loved you then, and I know now. That's we've come so far along, some way somehow. But now your gone and I am feeling pain, i see that your with him, my hearts in vain".

Noah continues to sing and it sounds so peaceful. His voice is deep but when he sings it sounds so angelic and nice.

"Just promise you won't go. Just promise you won't go". He sings, finishing the chorus and now it's my turn.

"I know you loved me then, but you hurt me. You had me crying and tears falling down my sleeve. So I am leaving and my heart still hurts, you cause so much damage and my mind feeling worse". I sing and he smiles at me the entire time and I return the smile back. At this moment when I'm singing I start to realize that no matter how hard I try, there's always that feeling I have for him.

We finish the song and get a few claps and hollers from people, and Noah stands up and gives me a huge hug. He kisses me on the cheek and we head back down to the table.

"You were so good". He says smiling.

"Thank you but you were...wow. I honestly didn't think you could sing like that". I laugh and he acts offended.

"What is that supposed to mean". He chuckles taking a drink from his bottle.

"Nothing. Did you write that"? I ask and he nods still drinking.

"yeah. For Olivia". He says softly and looks away.

"How long have you been singing"?

"Since I was 5. I used to dress up and hold my mum hostage in the room and sing". He Laughs pulling out his phone, scrolling through photos and shows me one of them.

"Here's a great example". he says showing me his phone which had a picture of a small little brown haired boy holding a microphone and a scarf on.

"Aww how cute". I giggle and he chuckles again.

It's silent for a minute until he breaks it.

"You going to formal"?

"Um I'll probably just go with Cassidy and her boyfriend Liam. Sam and his girl might go. I don't know yet". I shrug and he nods, taking a sip of his beer.

"Go with me". He says sitting back in his chair.

"Wait. Are you asking me out to formal"? I ask, smirking and he rolls his eyes.

"I guess. If that's what you want to call it". He shrugs.

"Yes I'll go with you I guess since I have no other plans". I laugh.

"C'mon I wanna take you somewhere else". Noah says standing up, placing a 50 dollar bill on the table, then walks out, and I follow him out to his car.

"Where are you taking me now"? I ask as he starts the car.

"A special place". He smiles.

"You're not going to kill me, are you?''

"I'm getting Deja vu". He chuckles.

"Yeah because it happened like 2 months ago when we met". I say and we both shared a laugh.

We start going on the road again and listen to backstreet boys on the way there.

"We're here". He smiles and I look out the window to see a park.

"Are you sure you're not going to kill me"? I laugh.

"No I have a surprise". He smirks.

He runs over to my side and opens the door.

We start walking, hands intertwined around the park.

"What's the surprise"? I ask and he smiles.

We stop in the middle of the park and stand there. He then sits on the ground and motions for me to do the same so I sit next to him.

"So the surprise is this". He says handing me a piece of paper. I give him a questioning look and he chuckles.

"Open it silly". His voice sounded softer than usual.

I open it and it's a Poem.

Your eyes sparkle like the stars in the sky.

Your smile shines like the sun

Your lips are pink and plump

Your laugh is what makes you fun

I couldn't imagine

My world without you

It's hard to admit

But everything I'm saying is true

Your ears are small and cute

Your hair is very long

Every time I'm with you

Makes me want to write a song

Each day I wake up

Your on my mind

Not a day goes by

Where I'm wasting my time

Every night I dream about you

Longing for your touch

I'll try and promise you

I won't do to much

Ava Davis

Such a beautiful name

Makes me feel good

But makes me feel pain

Even if this comes to an end

No matter how far you go

I'll always be a part of you

Forever I know

~ Noah

I smile and give him a hug. "What's this for"?

"I don't know...I just feel like I owe you after everything happens". He mumbles, laying on my shoulder.

I look at the note before noticing one part which is the last sentence.

'No matter how far you go I'll always be a part of you'

That was the exact line from the yearbook that Jaden found at the Halloween party that night...
