Chapter 54 - Noah

(Meanwhile At Noah Su's Apartment)

Noah sat on his soft gray couch and held his face in his hands. In front of him was a black wooden table with letters scattered all over it.

All of them had 'P͟A͟S͟T͟ D͟U͟E͟' stamped across them in huge red letters. "*Sigh* What am I gonna do?" He sighed into his hands.

*BZZZT BZZT* His phone buzzed in his front pocket. He took it out of his shorts and looked at the contact that read 'Mom :'( '.

Noah bit his lip and his free hand clutched his stomach. Just staring at the picture of his mother made him want to throw up or have a panic attack. It seemed like his body wanted to do both.

His puffy and exhausted looking eyes became slightly misty and he could feel a lump form in his throat.

The phone continued to buzz nonstop and Noah had to contemplate whether to answer or not.

He decided to answer so he swallowed down the lump in his throat and took a deep breath before pressing the green accept button.

#Noah: *Inhale* Hey mom.#

#Violet: Don't call me that! The only way I'll allow you to call me your mother. Is if you give up this ridiculous decision!#

#Noah: Mo-, *Sigh* Ma'am I didn't decide to be anything. I didn't decide to be gay.#

#Violet: *Ugh* Where did I go wrong? I tried my best to keep you away from that lgbq or whatever bullshit.

And don't feed me those lies. You did decide this just to rebel against me and your father.

You just didn't want to do that arranged marriage with that lovely girl. You selfish little bitch!#

#Noah: Ma'am I assure you that's not the case.#

#Violet: Don't talk back to me young man! Just watch, your father and I are waiting for you to come crawling back. Since you don't have us to pay for your things anymore.

And once you do you'll be walking down the altar with a lovely woman on your arm.#

Noah felt his blood boil and gritted his teeth in anger.

Once he came out of the closet to his parents Lucas and Violet Su, they were furious and cut him off entirely. And they refused to talk to him until he stopped being gay.

So Noah worked late hours at horrible jobs to try and make ends meet. So he was always exhausted and rarely had time to hang out.

So combined with his temper and lack of sleep he quickly snapped.

#Noah: Oh I'm SO sorry but maybe I'm just not ready for such an amazing marriage like yours and dads.

With my wife fucking everything that moves just like you. And me fucking my secretary in seedy motels just like dad.

With my wife being some eighteen-year-olds sugar mommy just like you. And me being and a sugar daddy just like dad.

And with my wife spending millions to impress her little clique like she's still in high school, JUST LIKE YOU! And with me going on expensive vacations and pretending they're business trips because I hate my wife and kid, JUST LIKE DAD!

So yeah! Maybe I'm just not ready for such a GREAT marriage like you and dad have. And maybe I never will be so maybe you shouldn't call again, MA'AM! Beep-.#

In a rage, Noah hung up on her and felt his chest tighten in anger. He took deep soothing breaths to calm himself down.

But once he did he felt his heart being wrenched in two. Tears filled his eyes and roll down his cheeks. Even though his parents were so awful it didn't help the stinging pain of being rejected by the ones who love, or used to love you.

He threw his phone onto the table and started to let soft whimpers and sobs. The tears dropped onto his pants and his eyes started to become red.

"Ok, ok stop it. Get over it! They didn't give a damn about you! They just wanted to marry you off to some random rich woman!

*Sniff sob*

Alright, no! You're gonna go take a shower and you're gonna get over it. *Sniff*" Noah chastised himself with an occasional sniffle.

He then stood up the tears on his face with his sleeve. Then he walked to his shower shedding his clothes with every step. Once he got there he turned on some warm water and stepped inside.

Letting the water rush over his face, making him feel at peace.

(About twenty minutes later in front of Noah's apartment)

Tommy sat in the driver's seat of a black car wearing skinny jeans, a white shirt under a large black hoodie, a black cap, and black sunglasses.

Why was he there? Well, after seeing Angela leave in a hurry he became very worried especially after she didn't answer his, or anybody's calls.

He figured it just had something to do with her newfound friend. So he tried contacting the doctor who gave Angela the news.

No dice.

He tried to find out where she went.

Nothing.

So the only possible way to find out what had caused her such turmoil is to find her friend.

But he couldn't access any records as Angela is very protective about patients and their privacy so if he went digging for information. He would instead end up digging his grave.

So he decided to check if Angela had the slightest bit of contact with someone unfamiliar. Which would be easy because her life only revolved around work, home, and a very, very, very, minuscule social life.

That's when he noticed that she paid a Noah Su a total of five thousand. Now it could be nothing but Tommy had a gut feeling he wasn't wrong. This man had to be connected to that woman somehow and he was going to find out how.

He stepped out of the car with his head down to avoid the possibility of being on the front page of a celebrity magazine and being swarmed by fans.

He slammed the car door shut and walked to the up to the door of the apartment.

He knocked on the door and waited for a response.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the door, Noah wore a comfy, slightly baggy long-sleeved red shirt and baggy black pants that bunched up around his ankles. He sat on his couch hugging a big cat plushie.

Noah had been planning on what to do when Zoey and Angela came over. If Zoey found out that he had been keeping his financial situation a secret she'd lose it.

"*Sigh* Zoey has gotten more alert lately. If she finds out she's gonna pissed. I didn't want to worry her, but she'll definitely be worried when I lose my house." Noah sighed.

*Knock Knock*

When he heard a knock at the door Noah slightly jumped. He put his plushie on the couch and stood up. He walked cautiously to the door and undid one the locks. So it could only open inwards a certain amount.

Noah was met with a menacing tall man dressed in black and he instinctively went into survival mode.

"What?!" Noah growled making Tommy slightly flinch.

"What a ferocious child." Tommy thought as he looked at what he believed to be an angry middle schooler.

But he just smiled and politely asked, " Hello little guy is your father home?" This didn't turn out as positively as he'd hoped as Noah gave him a death glare.

Was this guy an idiot his father lives in a mansion why would be here Noah thought. "No. He has a mansion go check there." Noah spat out and tried to slam the door but Tommy stopped it with his hand. "This little brat!" Tommy exclaimed to himself.

"But I was told this is Noah Su's address," Tommy said with his smile twisting in annoyance.

Noah stopped for a second and just stared at him. Then it finally clicked, this dude thought that Noah was his own son. He ground his teeth in annoyance, he knew he was tiny but this was a new low. Also, even if he had a kid, they would be four at the most. So how old did this guy think he was?

But this might've been a blessing in disguise. Now he could play along and send this creep on his way.

So Noah crossed his arms and snapped, " He's not here. He went on a fishing trip."

Tommy looked at Noah suspiciously. "At first he was so defensive now he's willing to tell me where his dad is?" Tommy thought.

He started at Noah for a long while then got a big grin on his face. Keeping his other hand on the door to prevent it from closing.

He then used his free hand to take out his phone. He then dialed a number and when he did a ringing came from inside the apartment.

Noah backed away slightly but continued to glare at Tommy. "Don't you need to get that?" Tommy said cockily.

Noah clicked his tongue, did this guy see through him.

"No use trying to hide it. I know you're dad's in here, I just want to talk to him, " Tommy said.

Noah's eyes widened and he started cracking up on the inside, " *Hahaha hahaha* This guy is so dumb. I can easily lie my way out of this one."

Just as Noah opened his mouth Tommy's phone went to voicemail and Noah's voice could be heard clear as day.

#Voicemail: Hey it's Noah leave a message at night cause that when I'll be awake.#

Tommy looked at the phone and back at Noah his wide eyes hidden by his sunglasses. "You're Noah Su!" He exclaimed.
