Noelle's [POV]
"Finally! I don't know how you ended up in this godforsaken place, but we're leaving right now!"
As we walk into Izzy's, Mom charges over to me. She grabs my arm and starts pulling me toward the door. I jerk away from her so forcefully that it causes her to trip. She's about to crash into the wall when Nash grabs her shoulders to steady her.
"Get your hands off me!" Mom recovers and slams both her hands into Nash's chest. He throws his arms in the air like someone just pulled a gun on him.
"Mom! Oh my God. Stop. This is my friend Nash," I say as I back up against him. He squeezes my shoulder to let me know he's okay.
