Trapped By The Devil

I

I ran behind him trying to stop him but he didn't paid me any attention. I was crying seeing him hurt. And the reason was me. Even if that cut didn't pained him but my words did. It sliced through his heart.

"Baby... Baby please atleast let me treat your wound... Please Noah"

I begged him when he stopped to through those pieces in the bin. My hand gripping his upper to get him to look at for once but Noah forcefully removed my hand through his bloodied one.

"Noah I am sorry... I didn't meant to..."

He didn't listened. After washing the blood away, he left the house. Before I could go behind him, I heard the car engine revving then soon the voice get distant.

I went to the bedroom to grab a cigarette from my purse. He left and now I can't do s**t about it. I walked to the kitchen and sat on the backyard door smoking and watching stars. Tears were still running down my cheeks.

After an hour I heard the engine being stopped and front door opening. I hastily threw the cigrette away and walked to the living room. Noah wasn't there. I went to the bedroom and saw him getting in bed.

"Noah..."

His name came out hoarse and his back was facing me. When I took a step towards him, Noah switched the lights off and pulled the comforter above his head.

I put a hand on my mouth to lower the noise of my sobbing and got into the bed. He didn't turned and placed my head on his chest like he usually does. We had fights but it never get this messy.

Next day when I woke up I found Noah packing his stuff back in his duffle bag. He didn't went out because he remembered how I feel in the morning after our night together.  But it did felt like lonely.

"Good morning"

I said pushing the comforter away. I was pulling my hair in a messy bun when I heard him say,

"Pack your bags... We are leaving, I have work pending!"

I nodded even if he didn't see it. I did my morning routine and it took half hour then packed my stuff also. If this is what he want then so be it.

After everything was done, we placed our bags in his car. Lucas was already there waiting for us at the door. I put my sunglasses on not wanting others to see my really red and puffy eyes. I didn't want them to get wrong idea something.

"Thanks Lucas, we will miss you"

I said handing him the keys of the house. The. Pulling him in a hug. My face was all smiley but I only I knew how much effort I was putting to get that fake smile on my face.

"Why are you leaving early?"

Putting my hand on the hips I told him I had an important call from the office. He nodded and told me to visit soon. Noah was already in the car so he just yell a bye to him.

I sat beside him in the car quietly and waited for him to start the car but he didn't. I thought may be he was waiting for Lucas to do something but nothing.

"Are we waiting for something?"

I asked looking at his face. His jaw line was so sharped from my angle that I wanted to just run my finger through it but fisted my hand.

"Seatbelt"

Noah spoke. I was like what?? He was waiting for me to wear seatbelt thats why he didn't started the car. My eyebrows were together at his exclamation.

And what is this one word reply. Now I am starting to feel frustrated. I know its my fault. I can bear with his angry words and screaming but the last thing I want from him is silent treatment.

"Basically you shouldn't even drive. You ate injured"

I exclaimed. If Noah wants to go by the rules than he must follow the rules first. He don't wanna start the car then I guess we are gonna sit here all day.

"You are not driving"

He said and went to make me wear the seatbelt. I stopped him from doing that and folded my hand infront of my chest then said.

"You ain't driving either. I'll wear seatbelt when you sit here while I drive. And don't act like it doesn't hurt."

Noah groaned and got out of the car. He slammed the car so hardly that I jumped in my seat. I thought he was going to listen to me but he did and opened my side of the car door.

I stepped out and went to the driver seat and wore the seatbelt. I wanted to laugh at my victory but controlled myself. Starting the engine, I drove out of the drive way. I played a song to chase the silence away between us.

After an hour when we were down the mountain on main city highway I stopped at a take-away restaurant. We didn't eat anything from yesterday and the one sitting beside me is a super eater.

I got out of the car and went to bring the food. And still till now Noah didn't uttered a word to me. When I was walking, my heart just felt like it was drowning every second thinking about yesterday.

After I got back I handed him the food package. He looked at it and placed it on the dashboard indicating he didn't wanna eat. Releasing a frustrated sigh I said.

"Is the grudge more important then your own health babe? Did I asked to much from you?"

"If this is what I am gonna get for expressing my wishes then I am sorry... I won't do it again..."

When he didn't answered to my question I said what came in my mind. My voice broke in the end but I wanted to let this thought out of my mind.

Till yesterday everything was going happy and jolly between us then things went down the hill. Sometimes I feel like I don't have the right to be happy because everytime I get happiness the very next day something will happen to make me feel worst.

When we reached in the parking of my apartment building, I kissed him on the cheek and said I love you and take care... With that I grabbed my stuff and waited for him to leave.

.

I woke up early today because Shae texted me last night that new boss is coming today. I dressed myself in a formal olive green shirt with black trousers. After straightening my hair, I pulled them in a high pony tail then I grabbed my laptop, mobile, purse and car keys to leave for office.

When I reached at my desk, there was an envelope already waiting for me. Placing my purse on the side of the table I settled down and opened the envelope. My eyebrows drew together when I saw the company's name. After reading its content my eyes widened and I walked straight to the boss cabin.
