NOAH
" what's wrong Noah" i heard a familiar voice by my side and when i turned it was my baby sister Jules " nothing love I'm ok " i assured her "it's because of that boy again right?"
" no "
Yes , this is because of that same reason , this boy 'Alaric' has been a constant reminder of how much I hate myself , we go to the same school together we're both in middle school on our last semester and everyone keeps comparing me to him ,
'Why can't you be more like Alaric ' my parents hate this and they don't hide it
Everyone thinks he is better than me and I hate it , I hate him
" i should do something " my thoughts were cut by my little sister's voice my eyes widened in fear " no " i snapped , she was crazy not literally but she could anything
" listen your seven Jules i doubt if there's anything you could do so don't worry i handle this " i told her
"Ok " I wasn't so reassured " Jules I'm ser …"
" I said I won't do anything" she crossed her arms and walked away
I watched her leave knowing it was a complete lie .
NEXT DAY
I got off the subway going back home , as I got near my house I noticed something , a car it was black Audi parked by our house , something in me just shifted I sensed something wrong
The moment I walked in the house I felt suffocated like too much emotion in the air .
The first thing that caught my eye was Alaric , standing there in between his parents looking…. terrible . Then my eyes moved slowly to the right where Jules was standing hiding behind my dad and mom .
Anger rushed in my , she looked worse than anyone in the room , her dress was torn in some areas like someone tried to rip it off her her hair was messy and her faced was puffy from constantly crying . I was confused
I looked back at Alaric ….it clicked ,
In a second I was there shoving my fist into his face
" you raped her" I shouted hitting him again and again till my dad came to hold me back
" Noah " he warned
" we are so embarrassed by this I'm so sorry on my son's behalf " his mom spoke , she looked on the edge of tearing down
" please we beg you he can't go to prison "
She spoke
" the hell not? " I screamed looking directly at him , his eyes seemed different from the proud look he always wore , they looked pleading like begging me not to believe this
" I didn't do it ….i didn't rape her" his voice came out hoarse " so she's framing you !? " I shouted again anger pulsing in me
" Noah please … " my mom spoke to
How are they so calm Jules got hurt …raped
" Leave " my father spoke calmly looking at them " I will turn a blind eye on this if you leave , your whole family get everything and leave so that my daughter would never see your sons face again"
Are serious right now , I turned to my father but he was just calm .
" just like that ? No … I'm calling the cops "
Alaric's eyes widened
" I said I didn't do it " he shouted and before I could say a word my dad slapped him hard across the face
" I am letting you leave so respect that"
He spat blood to the side from the impact
" leave" Alaric's parents didn't say a word just held him and left
I wanted ran after the car punch holes in their wheels so that they wouldn't go anywhere then but I turned to my parents
" how could you?"they didn't look fazed
" Jules lied " my mom spoke calmly my eyes widened the anger vanished in an instant
" Alaric didn't touch her…Noah she's pretending " my dad spoke looking at her with a somewhat proud look
" your proud of this?" I asked him and he raised a brow at me
" that boy has been making it hard for our family for years, it's good that he's leaving "
I felt so disgusted looking at them , my eyes went down to Jules who smiling waiting for me to praise her , suddenly Alaric's face came to my mind , how he was pleading , how he hoped I'd somehow believed him
I didn't, guilt filled my chest in an instant
" do not speak to me " I told her coldly
Her face fell her eyes watching me replaced with sadness " Noah your sister was trying to help you " my mother spoke
" and I'm very disappointed " I spoke looking directly at Jules who's eyes had been filled with tears now
I left heading to my room .
I thought it would take them some time before they left but by the next day everything was gone. I was hoping to apologize to him and his family , I've never been so weighed in my life before
But I couldn't , he wasn't there anymore , no trace of him or his family , I knew his house and it was empty … like he never was there in the first place .
I felt my eyes sting ' you should have listened Noah' my conscious tortured me
How can I fix this …..
'Alaric I'm sorry' I said though he would never hear me
