Chapter 46: New Friend

Charlotte's POV:

I was crying continuously as I sat inside my car and started driving it until my home. I don't have words. I... Today.. He.. Oh god.. I just can't think about it.

I got to the hotel. I wiped my tears and entered it. I waited at the reception; Noah must be coming back. I want to thank him so hell much.

Finally after fifteen minutes, Noah called me.

"Are you fine?" he asked.

"Yes" I said.

"Go to my room, 252, the password is Astrid. You can stay there until I come and give you your room's card"

"Okay Noah" I said and the call ended.

I want to thank him so much but after he returns, I'll thank him in person, not in call.

_____________________________________________

I got to his room, entered the password because its card was with Noah I guess and then sat on the bed.

The room was clean. Not what I expected from a guy.

Well, I know he's totally different from others.

Someone knocked on the door and I opened it. It was Noah.

"Glad you're safe" he said. I hugged him involuntarily.

He was hesitant but kept his hand on my hairs slowly.

"It's fine Charlotte" he said.

"Thank you Noah. Thank you so damn much!"

"It's fine but I'm mad at you" he said. I got away and looked at him.

"Why?" I asked.

"Why didn't you fight back? You let him do what he feels like?" he asked.

"I.. Noah, you know, do you think that I stand a chance against him?" I asked.

"Why don't you?"

"Uh, you know, society always thinks—"

"And society is mostly wrong" He corrected me. "You wanna say that society thinks that boys are stronger than girls?" he asked.

I nodded.

"They're wrong Charlotte. The only correct thing is that the good is always stronger than bad. No matter who you are. Do you understand?"

"Yes, Noah. I'll fight next time"

"Good Charlotte. Show them what you are!"

"Thank you Noah" I said. He smiled in reply.

"Well, Noah.." I said. "Can I ask you to be my relative of some sort?" I asked.

He was confused for a second.

"Hm? What's that?"

"I.. uh.. I will tell only if you promise me to become one"

"But, first, tell me—"

"Do you trust me?"

"Yes"

"Then?"

"Okay fine!" he said.

"Be my brother, please" I said. "I want a brother like you Noah, and you are unique, so I don't have a choice" I added.

"Okay Sister" he said and smiled. I smiled back with full glory.

"Well, can I ask a pretty personal question?" I asked.

"Yes" he said.

"You always protect girls. It's in your nature. But sometimes I feel you do have a reason for it. Is it so?"

"Well.." he started thinking.

"You don't have to tell if it's personal—"

"Yes there is a reason. But, I just can't tell you" he said.

"Oh, it's okay" I said and smiled.

"Not that I don't trust you, but because I don't want to remember it"

"Oh. I feel sorry for anything wrong with someone like you" I said. "And I'm glad you didn't lie to me that you don't have a reason"

"Brothers don't hide anything, do they? And It's okay, Charlotte. Thanks for understanding"

"It's fine bro! And now, please say yes to Astrid"

"Yes I will Charlotte" he said. Then he took out his wallet and gave me, my room's card.

"Go when you feel like going" he said. I smiled.

"I'm leaving then" I said, and he nodded. I went out and to my room.

Noah's POV:

She left the room. Oh yeah, today after almost a month I remember about Liam. I totally forgot about him.

I called him.

"Hello, Noah?" he said.

"Hi Liam. Well, can we meet?" I asked.

"Hmm sure. Where?"

"Anywhere fine with you" I said.

"Where are you?" he asked.

"At my hotel"

"Send me your location, I'll come there"

"Really?"

"Yes"

"Okay" I said and sent him my location through WhatsApp.

Someone knocked on the door. It may be Liam.

I opened the door.

"Hi Noah. Glad you called me" he said.

"Hi Liam. I.. uh.. Wanted to thank you for your help" I said.

"It's okay Noah. But I do need a return favor" he said.

"Hm and what's that?" I asked.

"Can we be friends?"

"Yes sure Liam. I would love that" I said, and we did a brotherly hug.

We became friends, I was happy to have one more friend after Xander. Xan is going through so much and I don't even have time to talk to him. Well, I'll call him tomorrow because it's late and I want to sleep.

Tomorrow I'm going to give a surprise to Astrid. I don't think she will be mad at me anymore after I propose her.
