Noah~•~I went into the changing room to try on the dress with the help of the worker. When I came out, Aiden had a worried and confused look on his face. “What’s the problem?” “They found the person who stole the moonstone.” “Moonstone? Huh?” I asked, confused. “Pack the dress and deliver it to the house.” He instructed the worker, then took my hands and led me outside to the car. “What moonstone?” I asked again as we settled into the car. “You know how Katie has been hiding something from you? It is about the moonstone someone stole. Plus, that’s the reason Uncle Zach and Caro’s mum died.” He explained. My eyes widened at his reply. “Why did you guys have to hide it from me?” “We didn’t want you to worry. We wanted to find it first before telling you about it.” “So who stole the moonstone?” I asked with a worried voice. He took a deep breath before responding in a low tone. “It was Becky, we’re not sure yet but Katie did a locator spell that found the moonstone at Lenora
Noah~•~I went back to my room and showered again. My body was sweaty from all the things I had been doing. It was almost time for the gala and I was excited about it. I started with my makeup, I wasn’t the best at doing it but I had learnt a few things from YouTube. After I was done, I wore my dress and my shoes. ‘Come help me with my zip.’ I mind-linked Aiden and asked for help because I couldn’t do it on my own. In no time, the door swung open and Aiden appeared. He was already dressed in a silver-colored tuxedo. The two colors of the day were silver and blue. It was meant to match the theme for the Howling Gala, which was a moon-themed event. I turned around for him to help me zip up my dress. He ran his hands through my bare back and his touch sent a shiver down my spine. “Your scar.” His hands lingered towards that part and he kissed it. “It’s beautiful.” I took a deep breath, trying to calm the butterflies that were fluttering in my stomach. “Thank you.” I swallowed har
Noah~•~Dimitri was standing a few feet away, his arms crossed over his chest. He must’ve overheard our conversation. His eyes were cold and hard and he looked like he had been drinking. “What is he talking about?” Aiden asked in a low tone. “Oh, you haven’t told him about it?” Dimitri let out a mischievous laugh and walked closer to where we stood.All eyes were already on us and he was causing a scene. I felt embarrassed. I blinked my eyes multiple times as tears escaped from the corner of my eyes. “Dimitri shut up and stop being an asshole.” Aiden turned to his brother and yelled. He didn’t believe Dimitri, he probably thought he was playing a sick prank because he was drunk. He raised his hands in mock surrender and laughed. “I’m not being an asshole, ask your ‘girlfriend’.” He said the girlfriend in quotes as a form of mockery. I could hear Aiden breathing heavily. He asked me again. “Noah, what is he talking about?” This time, he was loud and angry. I couldn’t take it any
Noah~•~[Late event? Tap to let me know.]The notification from my period tracking app flashed on my screen again. I sighed and put the phone away. My period had been over a week late.I wasn’t worried at first. After all, I thought my cycle was just changing because I had sex. But when I checked the internet and read an article where they said we should be worried after the seventh day, I started freaking out. But I took the morning pill, so I didn’t see any reason to miss my period. I was nervous and I didn’t want to keep on worrying, so I decided to go to the drugstore to get a pregnancy test. I asked Katie to accompany me because I didn’t want to go alone. Luckily enough, she agreed. I stopped by at her house and we both went together. “What if I’m pregnant?” “Don’t even say that, you can’t be, you took the pills.” “But my period has never been this late.” “Let’s just be optimistic.” We made our way into the store and went to the section with pregnancy tests. There were d
Noah~•~I waited for a few minutes before removing the test strip from the cup. ‘Please be negative.’ I prayed silently before looking at it. My heart dropped as I saw what the result was. “Two lines?” I yelled and Katie came rushing into the bathroom. “Two lines?” She asked with a worried expression registered on her face. “Try it again, there must be some sort of mistake. These things aren’t accurate sometimes.” I hope there was actually a mistake. I tried staying calm while I opened the other test and placed it in the cup. I waited for a few seconds and checked to see the result. “Two lines? Fuck!” I cursed while tears welled in my eyes. I was fucking pregnant. I had sex for the first time and I got pregnant? What did I do to deserve that kind of punishment? I took the morning pills, I did everything right, and now I’m going to be having a baby. A baby for the worst person on this earth. I tried my best to wrap my head around the reality of the situation, but it was too much
Aiden ~•~“Aiden, Mum says you should come help her with something.” My younger brother, Mason said to me. I was sitting on the front porch of the house, enjoying the warm summer breeze. It had been almost two months since I had left Hawkins for Sparkle Falls. I needed some time away from everything. The news of Noah being pregnant for Dimitri broke me. It affected me more than I could imagine. I had to leave to be with my parents and siblings in Sparkle Falls. Noah had left me thousands of voicemails. She had also tried calling me several times, but I ended up ignoring her. I didn’t have any words to say to her. Even after everything, I still loved her. I tried to convince myself that it was all Dimitri’s fault, but I couldn’t help but think that Noah was never going to get over Dimitri. Would I be seen as a coward if I chose to accept her back? She was carrying my brother's heir and it would be a shame to be with her. I knew she was hurting and I couldn’t stand seeing her lik
Noah~•~The past two months have been hell. I felt alone and miserable. Aiden had left the house for Sparkles Falls after I told him I was pregnant. Dimitri, who was trying to be in my life again after the Howling Gala incident, switched up again. He didn’t want anything to do with me. Although, he was nice to me on some days only because I was pregnant. It didn’t mean anything to me because I hated him more than anything in the world. I was left alone in the house with him and some of his other relatives. I cried myself to sleep every night. I hardly went out because whenever I did, people would say bad things about me. Katie was the only one I had. She spent most of her time with me. Whenever she wasn’t around, I spent my time crying and imagining how life would be if my dad was still alive and my mum had not abandoned me. I heard a gentle knock on my door. “Noah. I brought you breakfast.” Sarah’s voice echoed from the other side of the door. Sarah was Dimitri and Aiden’s cous
Noah ~•~“She isn’t still awake.” “We just found her lying on the floor.” “The pills were next to her.” “She tried taking her life.”“I’ve called him.” I heard muffled voices having a conversation and they sounded far away. My head felt heavy and I tried to move but I couldn’t. I managed to open my eyes and I saw myself on an unfamiliar bed. Looking around, I realized I was at Hawkins General Hospital. I hated the smell of the hospital. I had been to Hawkins General Hospital severally but I had never had to use a bed. Suddenly, it dawned on me that I had tried killing myself. Someone must’ve found me and taken me to the hospital. I wondered who it was. The curtains were slightly open and I looked through the window to see what time of the day it was. The sun had gone down, so I guessed it was evening. I tried getting off the bed again but I couldn’t move. My whole body was weak and tired. After so many trials, I decided to wait until someone came into the room. Finally, the
