Cause girl I gotta thing for you.
And I know it's kinda crazy,
Cause I know that you have someone else,
Wondering where you were last night.
But oh yeah now, don't think we're through,
I gotta thing for you
Hinder~ Thing for you
Chapter Fourteen
Bright
I watched as Carrie, Chad and Shame left to follow Noah. Carrie said she knew where he was going and that he wasn't doing it alone. Chad flipped out and told her she wasn't going without him, and that told Shame he had to go to. From what I had gathered in the five minutes after I walked back inside, was that Shame was the only person in this mix that could calm Noah.
I hated this feeling in my chest. I hated that he was pushing me away. This was the first time I could have actually been there for him and instead he pushed me as far away as possible. I have no clue where he went, or why he felt the need to get away.
I blame Tayla, for supporting Hessian Aggression instead of her friend.
I blame me for pushing him every time he wanted to hide.
I blame him for letting it all implode on him.
I replay those last few moments alone before he left when I begged him to stop and he refused to let me comfort him. Refused to let anyone comfort him.
I wanted to tell Carrie to please let me come, but had a feeling it was personal. We are in Washington and I assume he went home.
"It's been six hours Carrie!" Tayla yelled into the phone. Cal storming out of Noah's room behind her.
"You are in the wrong here Tayla! I am sick of you being all business all the fucking time!" Cal says and takes her phone from her hand and put it to his ear. "Care, she'll talk to you tomorrow, take care of my boy." He looked at his girlfriend then with disgust. "Tayla would say the same thing if she remembered who the fuck Noah is!" He turned the phone over to Tayla after ending the call.
"I don't know what happened the last four or so months babe, but you better reel it in and remember that sometimes you aren't the manager, sometimes you're his friend."
"Cal-" she cries and I feel like an intruder on the set of Days of Our Lives, but keep watching, hanging on every word because I am sick of not knowing what's going on.
"No Tay." He shakes his head and makes a call, pinning her in place with his stare. "George, can you bring Axe to Noah's bus in my jeep, we are going home for the night." He hangs up and looks to Tay. "I love you, more than you can imagine, but I am disgusted in your behavior, disappointed in your lack of judgment and I need you to look at this shit with your eyes not Hessians."
He looks to me, effectively shutting her up. "Bright, you’ve done a hell of a job doll. Don't doubt that." He squats in front of me. "I agree with you earlier, some things don't need to be so extreme to get a reaction. You have busted your ass here, we all see it even my psycho girlfriend over here shooting daggers at the back of my head." He turns and catches Tay's glare. "Noah is doing better than they all give him credit for. They are scared and though I get it, they're all idiots. He has always been dark, brooding, serious and sarcastic. He teases endlessly and loves the same."
He stands and pats my head, clearly not comfortable with emotional deep shit because he legit patted my head like I was four. "Good talk." He says and turns to Tay. "I am going to meet them in Gig. Cassa is coming to be with Bright, you better go find your heart and soul baby."
With that he left and T fell apart.
I didn't know what to do. If it was Cassa or Carrie, I would, but I don't know Tay other than the hard ass she is. Cassa walked in, thank God. "Holy fuck what did I miss?" She says and sets a stack of glorious, beautiful, antique back issues of Vogue.
I try to hide my excitement and focus on the issue at hand. Tay can't talk through her tears so I look to Cass and let it all roll out.
"Well, after Carrie, Chad and Shame left to find Noah, Cal and Tay stayed back in Noah's room, until about thirty minutes ago." I look to Tay, because I don't want to repeat the mean, yet kind of true things he said to Tayla. "They argued over Noah's best interest and he left to go to Gig with everyone else tonight and told her to stay here and think."
"That's a watered down version Bright, but thank you for putting it mildly."Tay said and wipes her tears, looking to Cassa. "He told me I am a bad friend, that he is disgusted by my behavior as well as disappointed." She cries harder and looks to us both. "That's so much worse too."
No lie, it totally was.
"He left me here to find my heart and my soul." She cried harder and Cassa and I both hugged her.
