"Unwanted Attention", Midnight Moon [that summer book TXT] 📗

me picking me up and sitting me up. I wince in pain. Noah grabs my clothes and puts them beside me.

I just sat there as if I was a statue. 

Noah tries to put my bra on but I shake my head in protest. 

Noah grabs my underwear and helps me put them on. Noah holds me up making me stand so he can put them all the way on, I whimper in pain when he touches my back. 

He suddenly drops his hand, I-I’m sorry did I hurt you. Noah says concerned. I shake my head no. Noah looks at my shirt realizing it’s stained red daiquiris, Noah takes his shirt off and puts it over my head pulling it down. He then picked me up slowly and carefully trying not to hurt me in the process. Noah sets me on the toilet. Grabs a wet rag and dabs the spots with blood on it. I wince in pain as he does so, Noah finishes cleaning my wounds. He again pickles me up, carrying me to his car. It was silent all the way home, Noah didn't even ask what happened. He just knew something terrible happened and that I was in shock. When we get home, he sets me down on his bed softly, making sure he didn't hit my head. Noah just paces back and forth. I whimper, as I try to grab his wrist, he stops and comes over to me. Noah sits there holding my hand. Noah can you just lay with me tonight please I say shakingly

He lays down on his bed, I lay there on his chest, I Instantly got up and ran to the bathroom, I puked out the alcohol I consumed at the party. When I was finished I brushed my teeth and went back into Noah's bedroom. He lays there on his bed asleep. Noah even sleeps with a concerned look on his face. I lay next to him while he sleeps. I roll over, I suddenly fall asleep. I jolted awake crying, My dream was my nightmare from hell. Noah just lays there staring at me with concern in his eyes. I smile faintly and cuddle up next to him still shaking from my dream. Noah rubs my back making circles on my back, the way my mom used to when we were kids. I listen to his heartbeat, Rem, what happened back there at the party? Noah says

I sit up looking at him with watery eyes, He-he r-r-r raped m-m-me I say hysterically crying. Noah's eyes widened in discussion. He grabs me and holds me rocking me back and forth. 

Who hurt you Rem Noah says 

N-n-n I start to cry harder. I couldnt finish my sentence. 

 Noah just lays back with me not asking any more questions.

I fall asleep listening to his heartbeat.

 

chapter 5 Sorely Hurt

 I jolted awake screaming and kicking, 

Noah wakes up concerned, looking for me, 

 I’m right here I say shakingly with a sense of relief noa relaxes a little. 

I'm going to make coffee for you okay,Noah says kissing my forehead. Walking out of the room to the kitchen, leaving me there alone in his room.  I lay back down groaning in pain as I stared at the ceiling, from my head. Not realizing that I had fallen asleep, 

Hey Noah softly nudges me awake whispering. 

Here take this it will wake you up Noah says softly giving me the cup of coffee he made. 

I take the cup of coffee from his hands, 

Our hands softly touching 

We sit there for a good minute, breaking the silence 

I take my cup, taking a sip and setting it down on the nightstand next to me.

So what would you like to do today milady Noah says as if he's from the 18th century. I smile at him 

Can we just stay home today and watch hallmark movies please? I'm not up for much of a walk--- I suddenly jump up running to the bathroom to puke. I hate puking, I never liked puking as a kid, It always felt like death. I know that sounds a little exaggerated but that's how it felt. I was still puking when Mrs Millton walked passed, she abruptly stopped what she was doing and knocked on the door. 

Rem sweetie, are you alright? Mrs Millton says 

I'm alright Mrs Millton I’m just Hungover that's all I say flushing the toilet and brushing my teeth. I could hear Mrs Millton’s footsteps fade away. Thinking I was done puking I opened the door to see Noah standing there in the doorway about to knock.

 Oh sorry I was just checking in on you, I wasn't trying to Invade your privacy or anything he says nervously laughing.

I laugh smiling at him, as I punch him softly.

You're not , I would have told you if you were. 

I say walking up to him whispering

Plus you have seen me naked so you can invade all you want  teasing him, I open my mouth to say something but instead I turn around and puke once again. After I was done puking I brushed my teeth and walked out of Noah's bathroom. Noah closes his door, as I sit on his bed staring at the wall in front of me. 

Rem, what happened at that party, I mean why were you bloody and bruised, why were you, as if scared to say it he walks up to me whispering. (naked).? 

I want to know. Noah says pleadingly 

I walk to the bed, laying down as Noah does the same.

Noah I say looking at my best friend since kindergarten.

Noah I continue but Mrs Millton barges in. 

Sorry was I interrupting something? Mrs Milton says 

She walks over to the dresser and sets the clean folded laundry down before fore walking out, I’m making pancakes if you guys want some and walks out closing the door behind her.

Noah locks the door and lays back down as he waits for me to continue. Noah I.I.I I stopped to take a deep breath, I wasn’t going to lie to my best friend. 

Noah I need you to just listen to me okay, you need to think rationally what I’m about to say okay I said looking at him in the eyes making sure he was listening. 

Okayy? Noah says urging me to continue,

Getting up I stand in front of Noah and his bed.

I started to tear up but stopped myself. I can do this, I say, talking to myself. 

I took a step forward, closing my eyes as I took a deep breath.

Noah May I ask you something I say hesitantly 

Yeah anything Noah says curious 

Noah is N...

I took a deep breath, I hated saying his name. He gave me shivers and not the good kind either. 

I Nick your friend from basketball right?  I say forcefully 

Uh yeah come to think of it yes he is why? Noah says in confusion 

He had to promise me before I could tell him anything. 

Can you promise me something I say biting my lip nervously 

Rem, you know you can ask me anything and make me promise, as long as you're happy I will be too. He says confidently 

I walk up to noah, grabbing his hands to give me courage and strength to say this out loud.

 Noah I need you to promise me, you won't sat or do anything stupid, after what I’m about to tell you. Promise me you wont try to confront Nick or hurt him please. I say begging him 

Noah Michal Millton promise me, I say sternly as I look at him with gentle yet stern eyes. 

Noah was silent for a couple of minutes as if debating what to do. He then takes a deep breath. 

Putting his right hand up as if he’s on trial in front of a judge.

I, Noah Michal Millton swear to uphold the information given to me, promises to keep the information confidential between me and you, Even if It kills me to do so, I promise to think rationally and not do anything that will end up with me or Nick getting hurt. I Promise not to say anything around or to Nick chaser.

I’m serious Noah, I say trying to hold my laughter in and keeping a straight face. 

Noah I can’t have Nick finding out by anyone saying what I’m about to say to you. I say nervous

Okay okay I promise but why can’t he know? Noah says puzzled 

Noah I say looking away as I bite my lip 

Noah then reached for my face, I flinched, but realized it was just noah.

Taking in a big deep breath I say it.

Noah, Nick I say forcefully as I shook from saying his name.

As I Crossed my arms. 

Noah he raped me --- t-- t -that night at the p--arty, I say stuttering in fear as I relived the rape in my mind. Noah’s eyes widened in fury 

Closing my eyes, I cried in silence.  

I couldn't even look at Noah without being ashamed of what happened.

 Noah doesn't say anything he just nudges me to the kitchen to eat. But I couldn't eat without wanting to puke. So I just pick at my pancakes. 

Rem, sweetie do I need to call your father you don't look so well Mrs Millton says motherly. 

 Noah cutts in before I said anything. 

Rem's dad is out of town for a couple of days so she's going to stay with us if thats okay mom Noah says 

Oh okay well I will just leave you guys to it then she says smiling as she picks up our plates. 

Thanks Mrs.Millton

Thanks Mom Noah says with me

I tense when Noah puts is hand on my back, But he romoves it noticing my tension, but I liked it I felt safe when he held me or touched me.

grabbing his hand I put it back where it was.

As Noah leads me to his room, he shuts it behind us. 

Behind us i could hear Mrs.Millton say, Noah, Rem I will be gone for of hours depending on my boss, so please dont wait up for me, theres leftover in the fridge. bye Love You. Mrs Millton locks the front door leaving.

as soon as she left, we were left in silence. 

No grabs my hand and leads me to his theater room to watch a movie.

turning the T.V on he put hallmark on for me. 

Noahs room was cozy, i had a king sized bed with a white and baby blue comforter with a fan above the bed as well as a huge bathroom.

 Rem I'm going to take a shower will you be alright for a monment. Noah says nervously.

mhm yeah okay I say igualfed in the hallmark movie I was watching. 

 He smiles and walks out and around to the bathroom closing the door behind him. 

When I hear the shower start I had the urge to go in and kiss him.

MY BEST FREIND. 

I really was losing it. I never thought of Noah as anything else but a brother and a best freind. So it's really weird thingking of Noah in a sexual way. 

 I dont know what came over me, but suddenly after the incident at the party, and him being so gentle and sweet and worried, made me want to pounce like a lion, I cant tell if thats just the alcohol talking or me. It did certainly change things.

As I get up I suddenly become lightheaded, As I tried to walk I kept tripping
