Chapter 39: A Big Help
Astrid’s POV:
I called him just after he left. Nope, I wasn’t missing him so much!! I was just curious of what he said to mom, and I didn’t want to ask mom about him coming at that time.
“Is everything fine Astrid? Should I stop by?” he spoke hurriedly as he picked up my call.
“NOPE!” I cleared my side. “Hi Noah. Actually, I was just curious of what you told mom” I said.
“Oh, that. I didn’t say anything, because she didn’t know I came” he said casually.
“WHAT” I asked.
“I said she didn’t know I came” he repeated.
“I know, Noah, I heard you, I just couldn’t understand!!” I said.
“Oh sorry. Actually, I entered from the window of the next room to yours” he said.
Wait. That’s my mom’s room!
“What the hell Noah, that’s my mom’s room for god’s sake!” I yelled through the phone.
“Yeah I kind of got an idea when I entered. It was full of her and her husband pictures, and it was clean, unlike your messy roo—” he was speaking but stopped as I started my ‘words’.
“That’s not what I meant, Noah, my mum would’ve saw you, and then what bloody reason would you give for climbing in a girl’s house like that, my mother would hella give you to the police for that—”
“That doesn’t matter, Astrid”
“What?”
“What mattered is that you needed my company” he said. “And you know what, I peek inside before entering it!!”
“So!!! You’re so bloody dumb, Noah—”
“Thank you”
“I’m not complimenting you, Noah, so stop that already” I said, a little irritated, but not really, I was enjoying this conversation.
“Everything you say is a compliment” he said. A red color flew into my cheeks, as I knew I was clearly blushing at that line.
“You’re so good with words, you know?” I said.
“Oh, okay. Thank you for your constant compliments!” he said and chuckled.
“I.. err.. that was the first compliment, dumbo!” I said.
“Yeah, okay fine. So, call me later, can you?” he said.
“Sure, bye Noah” I said.
“Bye” he said and the call ended.
Noah’s POV:
I ended the call. She is finally back. I didn’t know how to react. It was all like a dream, like the perfect dream anyone would ever dream to dream. If you dream of what you want to dream!
Still, her life had some issues, and I was the only one who can help her, because I knew what hell kind of person that devil is. I have to get him out of her tracks because it’s just not okay for her to change or leave the college because of him.
I called him.
“Oh hey, you still remember me? Oh, I thought, you must’ve been busy with your love, aren’t you?” Lucas replied.
“Yes, I’m very busy, but I want you to leave the college as soon as possible Lucas, don’t forget I can do anything with your sister” I said.
“Oh really, you can’t. You can’t go against her dignity, and I don’t fucking care about anything else!” he said.
“You don’t care about anything, Lucas!” I said.
“So? What are you threatening me for?” he asked.
“Just wait and watch” I said, and the call ended.
It was time to take help of someone I never thought I would take help of.
Charlotte.
“Hello.. N-Noah?” Charlotte spoke as she picked up my call.
“Hello Charlotte. Sorry for calling like this. Actually, I wanted to talk about some serious matter related to.. your.. Uh.. your cousin” I spoke.
“Wh-what? What about h-him?” she said with fear in her voice.
Why was she so scared to talk about him?
“Well, I want him to leave the college, because he almost ruined a life, you know-”
“Can I help you?” she said boldly, a different confidence in her voice, which I didn’t expect to come, because she was talking about her own cousin brother, who she is living with, after her parents left her.
“umm. Yeah. Just tell him that I’m harassing you, and you.. uh aren’t liking it and that you’re scared I might do something wrong—”
“Fine, Noah. I’ll tell him right away” and with that the call ended.
Something is suspicious. Why is she so bold towards her almost real brother? Why is she so desperate to be against him?
After almost five minutes, I received Lucas’ call.
“Hey—” I was cut off by him “What the fuck, Noah; you crossed all your limits today, leave her right now, you whore, slut—”
“Stop it. I’ll stop right here if you promise to leave the college”
“But, why the hell do you—”
“It’s about her dignity” I used my last card. “Her self-esteem and it is at stake” I added.
“FINE! I will leave the college and not enter it even once, just get the hell out of there and leave her alone!!” he yelled.
“That’s more like it. Don’t try to act smart or she’s mine!” I yelled making sure that I had made my point and then cut the call.
That was it I thought. Although I called Charlotte to thank her.
“Hello, Charlotte, thank you” I said.
“It’s fine Noah, I myself wanted him to leave—”
“But why?” I asked.
“I…uh...just because he was so humiliating for everyone in the college” she said, but I sensed lie.
“Oh” I said. “OKAY, bye Charlotte” I said.
“Bye Noah” she said, and the call ended.
