It's not life without the Twists and the Turns! Chapter 14, a hush, hush fanfic

It's not life without the Twists and the Turns!

Hey guys, I hope you enjoy my story, I have lots of ideas for it. So, this is about Nora from HUSH HUSH, but here she is called Nora Monowara Grey, she is currently 16, and she has 2 brothers, Donny Anthony Grey is 18 and Max Edward Grey is 14. Enjoy.

Chapter 14

NORA POV!

My brother's, my mum and Liam had gone to Ells worth, which is about an hour drive away from here, visiting family. Liam had gone along because they all loved him and had insisted that he also came along. They would be back tomorrow morning or late tonight, depends on when they decide to leave. They were visiting Asian relatives, so my mum got out one of her Asian dresses to wear. They had specifically told them to NOT bring me along. They believe me to not be a good person, because I have not achieved my mother's love. They were really mean about it. I acted like I don't care, but I did. It hurt a lot to think that they loved Liam more than they loved me. Everyone did. Liam was more loved even though he was s stranger to them, where as I was family. But I didn't hold it against him. It wasn't his fault, and I liked the fact they he's finally fitting in. He's like family anyways. Even my White and Arab relatives preferred him to me.

Vee was off somewhere on a family outing. She had asked me to come along, but I preferred to stay away. The family things... so not me.

FLASHBACK (TO LAST NIGHT!)

11.30 pm.

I sat at the kitchen counter just sipping some coffee and enjoying the time alone. Liam had left for the Dumping Ground a little while ago. My brother's were still up, they were watching TV in the living room. I would have joined them, but I just needed some alone time, like I said before.

After a little while I heard the TV go off. I expected to hear them make their way upstairs. But instead I watched them walk into the kitchen, they took a seat at the kitchen counter. Both looking extremely nervous. I wondered why. I knew they would eventually tell me anyway.

"Hey sis," Donny greeted me. He then nudged Max with his elbow. K, now I really wondered what was going on.

"We, er... wanted to talk to you... about ... your relationship... with... Patch." It took a while for me to register what had just came out my little brother's mouth. I was slightly shocked for a moment. A moment. I was kind of expecting it, since they were my brothers, but not now. And now Max to be concerned. But it was nice to know they were there for me.

"Ummm... what would you like to... umm... know?" Ok I was slightly nervous now as well.

Max started to say something. "Ummm... we er... we wanted to know... if you had been... umm... do you... - "

"Do you love him?" Donny just blurted out, cutting off Max.

I took a little while for me to register this.. But I finally said something. The truth. "Yeah, I do love him, he's soo sweet to me and loving and caring and well... everything. He actually cares about me. And, I can actually see us lasting for a long time. And well... he loves me too."

Max and Donny just exchanged smiles. " Thanks sis, I knew this was awkward and everything, but thanks for being truthful and telling us. And remember, we'll always be there for you' and Liam. You can talk to us."

I smiled at them. "I really do love him!"

I made them coffee. We just fooled around a bit. Laughing and Joking. Until we got tired and made our way up to bed.

FLASHBACK ENDED!

So I was stuck here at home. But I decided that I would go out to do some grocery shopping since the fridge looked awfully empty. I also decided that I would go the library later, and then spend the rest of the day with Patch.

I was walking round the store with my trolley when I was shoved at the back. I jerked forward and bumped my head on something. God knows what.

"Fuck! Be careful! If I get a bruise, I'm suing you." I said, rubbing my head. I hadn't even turned around to see who it is.

"Should have like watched where you're going, yeah," she said in a nasally voice. I knew that voice, and God was it annoying. I turned around hoping to see that I was wrong. Nope. It was her. Marcie. Darn it. What was she doing grocery shopping?

"Fancy meeting you here?" I said still scowling at her. At least I was trying to be civil. Bit it was very hard since she was glaring at me.

"Here with my mum, like that's , none of your, business." She folded her arms over her chest, still glaring at me. "So, what are you like, doing here? Aint you , attached at the hip, with that like fat cow?"

"Shut up Bitch. And what are you doing here? Shouldn't you be out somewhere giving out free blowjob's?" I crossed my arms under my chest and glared at her. Though, I was happy with the little statement that I had made. I mean it was true.

"Marcieeeeeeeeeee babyyyyyyy" Came another nasally voice from just behind me. Both me and Marcie glanced behind me to see where that annoying voice had come from. It was Marcie's mum. Ugh. The Millar's had always got on my nerves.

She had made her way to us and she said, "Come on Marcie Baby, let's get out of this dump before we catch something. I still can't believe that the Nanny got sick and your father made us come to grocery shop for his dinner party for him. Ugh. Men these days." She didn't even glance my way. As if she thought she was better than me. I hate when people act like that. Bitches.

With that she brought out a white tissue and held onto the shopping cart, pushing it in the direction of the till, with a meter distance apart from them. She was acting like she might get dirty of she touched it, or she might catch something.

"Come on baby, you don't want to spend time with these little people." The hag called over her shoulder to her daughter. Bitch.

This was my cue to leave and carry on with my shopping. I might just do something that wasn't very lady-like ( swear at her at the top of my lungs ) if this woman carries on like this.

"Cya" I muttered a to Marcie as I started to push the shopping cart.

"Hey Grey," I looked back looking for an insult. I would insult her back if she says anything. "Tell your boyfriend he's hot and everything, but that I would never date him, 'cause he's such a freak. Standing outside my window at night looking at me." She gave me a sly look, knowing that I knew nothing of this. I watched as she walked away in what looked like death traps. ( Stilettos ). I didn't say anything back like I usually would have. It took some time for it to sink in that Patch may be cheating on me. With Marcie.

He'll be just one of those other guys. God knows how many guys I've dated, however all of them have managed to cheat on me with Marcie. I hate it. Why her? Why me? Am I not good enough for any of them? Am I not slut enough?

I shouldn't just believe something that Marcie had said out of the bloom. I should ask Patch and found out if it was true.

And that's exactly what I'll do tonight when he come's round.

PATCH'S POV!

LATER THAT EVENING!

I knocked on my angel's door. I knew I couldn't be here, but I had to see my angel. I stood with my hands in my pocket, not wanting this to be the last time that I could actually kiss her, touch her, and just show her that I love her. I never wanted it to end.

But it had to.

I expected her to give me a hug straight away, like she normally greeted me. But today she just stood there silently, looking anywhere but at me. I wonder what happened.

"Hey," she said casually "You forgot to call last night. Where did you end up going?" Still not looking at me. Is that why she's angry? Cause I forgot to call her?

"Around. You going to invite me in?" I said, showing no emotion.

She just stepped back, allowing me entrance. I walked in and shut the door behind me. I leaned down for a kiss, but she dodged my advance and went on teh couch. Watching The Jeremy Kyle Show. I knew she loved that show. But today she just seemed... well... not here. Distant. I tried entering her mind, to find out what was going on, but she was blocking me out. As if she was hiding something.

I followed her and sat down next to her.

We sat in silence for a while. It was very uncomfortable. The only noise being made by that Jeremy dude shouting at some guy, for beating his six - year old daughter. Yeah, I know, terrible.

My angel finally broke the silence by saying, "It's nice to know that Marcie's house is just, you know, around."

It would be an understatement to say that I was shocked. I definitely wasn't expecting that.

She looked into my eyes for answers. How did she know about last night?

"Want to tell me what's going on?" She said in a calm tone.

I didn't know what to say to that. I couldn't tell her. So I thought for a moment before I answered her. I just kind of blurted it out. I couldn't thin of anything else to say. "You sound jealous angel." That was a lie. I couldn't get any emotion from her. I couldn't read her face. It's as if she was an expert of hiding her emotions when she wanted to. But I guess she has a life time experience, her being with her family and everything.

"Should I be?" It was simple. She wanted to believe me, but there was something that was stopping her from doing so. I couldn't blame her though. I mean, I did kind of knock on Marcie's door, and then kiss her when she opened. I don't know why I did it.

"No."

"Any reason for you to be at her house?" She still wasn't looking at me.

"Taking care of business." Ok, that was partly true.

She swept her eyebrows up. "Didn't know you and Marcie had business. You guys share anything else that I should maybe know about?" I still couldn't read her.

"We do, but it's just that. Business." That's not true, I kissed Marcie. And if my angel found out, she would be hurt.

"Anything else you wanna say? You know, get it all out in the open."

She was giving me a chance to make everything better and to just tell her what had happened. But for some stupid reason, I couldn't.

"Marcie ran into some trouble this afternoon. She was caught in a crossfire when a group of Fallen Angel's tried to force a Nephil to swear fealty inside the men's room at Bo's Arcade. The Nephil wasn't sixteen so they couldn't force him, but they had fun trying. They cut him up pretty bad, and broke a few ribs. Enter Marcie. She's had too much drink and walked into the wrong restroom. The Fallen Angel standing guard pulled a knife on her. She's at the hospital but they'll release her soon. Flesh wound." This was true. But this hardly had anything about what my angel had asked. But she didn't know that I was lieing. I hate lieing to my angel.

"Marcie had been drunk. Chances are she remembered what she saw. We try to stay under the radar, but someone like Marcie had a big mouth, and can threaten their secrecy. The last thing they want is for her to announce to the world what she had say. Our world operates much more smoothly when humans are ignorant of it. I know the fallen angel's involved. They'd do whatever it takes to keep Marcie quiet."

I looked at her. Studying her. How did she feel about this?

"I'm sorry. I shouldn't have accused you of anything. I should have heard you out before I jumped to conclusions." She turned her face away from me, ashamed. "Is Marcie alright? The Nephil?"

"Yeah, they both are."

I put a finger under her chin and turned her face toward me. I bent down so that my face was level with hers.

"It's alright angel. I forgive. But I hope that we can work on your trust issues."

I leaned down and planted a kiss on her lips. He stayed like that, hugging and kissing, watching the Jeremy Kyle Show. Until it was time for me to leave. I told Marcie I would visit her.

My angel hugged me at the doorstep.

"I'm sorry." She whispered again.

"It's alright angel. Nothing will ever come between us."

"Promise?"

"Promise." I kissed the crown of her head, and then walked away. To visit Marcie.

The other woman.

NORA POV!

I watched as Patch left and drove off in his jeep. He said that he needed to be somewhere, and I trusted him.

I felt really bad for accusing him when he was innocent. I should have given him more credit. I was totally out of order. But I'm glad that he forgave me. But I hope that I'll be able to make it up to him. I still feel kind of bad.

I hate to say it, but I also kind of felt bad for Marcie. It sounded like she was really roughed up. I'll ask her if she feels better. I know that she'll probably insult me, but i actually, genuinely feel bad for her.

THE NEXT MORNING

NORA POV!

School's out it's summertime
I know a girl and I wish she were mine
I think about her but she's by best friend's girl
WHoaa oooh

He doesn't know what's on my mind
He doesn't know she's with me tonight
She tells me everything we go out everywhere
I know it's wrong but I don't care

There goes the sound of my alarm on y phone. Yep I know, weird. But it was the only way that would actually get me out of bed.

I looked up at the clock on the wall. 7.02. I would have to shower now, if I wanted to get to school on time. I would shower first and then wake up my brothers. And if I was correct, Liam was spending the night here, in the guest room, so I'll make the shower real quick. I turned off my phone so the music stopped. I wouldn't be able to hear it while in the shower anyways. So I went over to my boombox. I t was black and expensive and I absolutely loved it. Max had given it to me for my last birthday. It had two speakers attached to the sides. And... it was loud, so I would hear it, and also, it would do the job of waking my brothers up. So i got a CD of some of my music and put it on. Loud. The first song was Call Me Maybe by Carly Rae Jepson.

I walked into the shower and stripped off my clothes.

I threw a wish in the well,

Don't ask me, I'll never tell

I looked at you as if it fell,

And now you're in my way

I sang along with them music, just enjoying myself and the hot water.

I'd trade my soul for a wish,

Pennies and dimes for a kiss

I wasn't looking for this,

But now you're in my way

I really liked her voice.

Your stare was holdin',

Ripped jeans, skin was showin'

Hot night, wind was blowin'

Where you think you're going, baby?

Hey, I just met you,

And this is crazy,

But here's my number,

So call me, maybe?

It's hard to look right,

At you baby,

But here's my number,

So call me, maybe?

Hey, I just met you,

And this is crazy,

But here's my number,

So call me, maybe?

Ok, I admit it. I'm slightly freaky. Right now, I was in the shower, singing AND dancing along to the music. I'm pretty sure no one dances in the shower. LOL. At least I know how to have fun.

And all the other boys,

Try to chase me,

But here's my number,

So call me, maybe?

I carried on singing.

You took your time with the call,

I took no time with the fall

You gave me nothing at all,

But still, you're in my way

I beg, and borrow and steal

Have foresight and it's real

I didn't know I would feel it,

But it's in my way

Your stare was holdin',

Ripped jeans, skin was showin'

Hot night, wind was blowin'

Where you think you're going, baby?

Hey, I just met you,

And this is crazy,

But here's my number,

So call me, maybe?

It's hard to look right,

At you baby,

But here's my number,

So call me, maybe?

I walked out of the shower, having finished, I grabbed my fluffy white towel and wrapped it around me.

Hey, I just met you,

And this is crazy,

But here's my number,

So call me, maybe?

I walked past my phone, I had gotten two messages. One from Vee and One from Patch.

I looked at Vee's first.

To: Nora

Hey babe

soz, but Alex is dropping me off today, I'll meet you there

Love ya babez

I laughed at that, someone seemed happy today.

And all the other boys,

Try to chase me,

But here's my number,

So call me, maybe?

I then look at Patch's message.

To: Angel

Sorry angel, something came up and I can't drop you off today. I'll cya at skwl l8r.

Patch

I was cool with that.

Before you came into my life

I missed you so bad

I missed you so, so bad

Before you came into my life

I missed you so bad

And you should know that

I missed you so, so bad

It's hard to look right,

At you baby,

But here's my number,

So call me, maybe?

I carried on singing and went to my wardrobes.

I picked out a plain white tank top, blue denim shorts, a long sleeved black, DKNY cardigan, a thick brown noisy belt and a pair of plain black pumps. Vee would be happy. I was dressing up, because I was happy. (LINK ON PROFILE!)

I walked over to the boombox and just turned the music off, making my way downstairs.

As I making my way to the bottom step, I managed to trip over absolutely... nothing. Yep, you guessed it, I'm a klutz.

Luckily, Donny caught my in time.

"Hey sis, why don't you just move into the ER. I heard they have rooms available." Asshole.

That's how my day started.

I was in no way ready for what was about to happen at lunch that day!

LUNCH TIME (STILL IN SCHOOL)!

I walked to lunch with Vee. She was talking about going shopping today and getting a new outfit for her date on Saturday. She's been going out with this guy called Alex for 2 months now, and I was really happy for her. She liked him. But how hard I tried to concentrate on the conversation, I couldn't, my mind kept wandering to the fact that I hadn't seen Patch all day. Maybe I would see him at lunch. Hopefully.

So me and Vee walked into the lunch hall. We were still talking about shopping. Not that I minded. I mean, I am a shopaholic.

"So babe, I was thinking of buying a cute dre..." I wonder why she just stopped talking like that. I also wonder why her eyes had gone large and what she was staring at. I followed her gaze, and saw what she had seen. Patch. And Marcie. Patch was sitting with Marcie at her table, with her little skank group. No I knew why Vee was so shocked. Me? I wasn't really shocked, having experienced what had happened with Patch yesterday, and also the fact that ALL my previous boyfriends had cheated on me for Marcie. Why would Patch be any different? Shut up, I told my self. Just shut the fuck up! I had no right to accuse Patch like this. He's innocent until proven guilty.

However, I was upset, since I really like Patch. I hope there's nothing going on between them.

But I knew better than to jump to conclusions. Especially after yesterday. Maybe they had a project or something that they had to discuss. I doubt it though. But you never know.

Me and Vee had got into the very short line, having gotten over the shock. They still hadn't seen us yet, which is good I guess, so then I could walk up to them and just ask for the truth.

I grabbed myself a plate of lasagna, roast potato's and some beans, with a chocolate muffin for desert and a bottle of mango juice. We both payed for our food.

This was it. Time to find out the truth.

I gave Vee a look, thankfully she understood and took a seat at out normal table with the others. I knew there was a reason as to why I loved her so much. I took in a couple of breaths and walked up to Marcie's table. I stood right in front of them. Preparing myself for what was about to happen.

Marcie was the one that looked up to me first. Patch just stayed looking down at his plate, picking his food. She smirked. I didn't know if I was glad that she looked up first. She put her phone down, presumably stopping the texting. She then nudged Patch with her elbow to get his attention.

He looked at her, "What?" I couldn't tell how he felt. He hid all his emotion very well. Like he usually did.

Marcie kissed him on the lips for what felt like hours. And the worse thing was, Patch didn't stop her. He didn't even respond or anything, but he still didn't push her away. She pulled away first and then turned to me with a fucking smirk on her face. That evil little bitch. Then again, Patch aint totally innocent in this either.

Patch followed her gaze and looked up at me. At first I noticed a wave of shock flash through his eyes. He stayed like that - shocked - for ages. I can't believe him. But maybe... just maybe... he wasn't expecting her kiss, maybe he just stayed like that because he was shocked. No wonder he never reacted to her kiss. No! Stop making excuse for him! I was confused.

But I decided that I would be the one who would speak first. I carried on with my poker face and spoke, "Hey Patch, Marcie. Patch, I was wondering if maybe you'd like to sit with us at out usual table, like we've been doing for months now." I said this while not looking at anyone. I just kept my gaze on the glass windows behind them, which led to the picnic tables outside.

"Sorry Nora. But he's sitting with his girlfriend." I still wasn't looking at them, but I didn't like what I had heard. "Oh, sorry! I forgot that you were his previous girlfriend. I guess to him you weren't important enough enough to tell you that he had moved on. What a shame! Hey, aint it funny that ALL your boyfriends end up dumping YOU for ME. Why don't you just get the fact that nobody wants you and nobody ever will. I mean your slut of a mum doesn't want you and neither did your dad. Why don't you just get the message and leave us the fuck alone."

She didn't have to say that twice.

"OK, thanks Marcie for the update. I really appreciate you telling me." I refuse to cry for him. I haven't cried for God knows, since I was ten. And I wasn't gonna cry because he cheated on me. Just like the others.

"I... I hope you guys... umm... are happy and everything... err... Good luck with your umm... relationship... And I... wish you the best." I looked at Marcie directly in the eye and said this last bit, "My mum's not a slut." The worse thing was. That Patch had lied to me. Lied about everything.

With that I walked off, back toward my table, tray in hand, without even glancing back to either one of them. That was when I noticed that I was getting numerous stares from the kids in the cafeteria. I looked around and noticed that everyone, and I mean everyone was staring at me. That just made me feel worse. I sat down in a seat at our table next to Vee and started to speak with the other girls.

"So I heard we were going shopping tonight." My voice got quieter near the end. and I hated it. I didn't want Patch to think that him going out with Marcie had affected me.

I guess though I can't blame them. Only because it didn't work out with us, that doesn't mean that it may not work out with them. I mean everyone deserves their happiness. And I guess I won't be getting mine with Patch. I sighed. I really wish that it had worked out with the two of us, I mean I really liked him. And I was about to tell him that I loved him the other day. He means a lot to me. I mean, meant. But I guess he just doesn't want me. Just like the others didn't.

I guess it's not life without the Twists and the Turns!

Vee being the best friend in the whole world, leaned over and hugged me and rubbed my back, making me feel slightly better. At least someone loved me. The others gave me sympathetic and sad looks.

"No shopping tonight. Me and you are going to have a girls night at your place tonight."

I love this girl.

PATCH'S POV!

I sat in the cafeteria picking my food. I sat next to Marcie the bitch and her gang of skanks. I had to look after her and protect her. But the Arch Angel's don't get the fact that she isn't the one who needs the protection, if anyone needed protection it would be my angel. She's a danger magnet and she needs me. And I need her to. But the ArchAngels will not allow it.

I just sat there still picking at my food, finding nothing better to do. The bitch, or should I say Marcie was sitting next to me texting some guy. We sat like that for a while, until Marcie just put her phone down. I didn't really care so I didn't look up to see what was going on. After a little while, she nudged me with her elbow. Ugh. What does she want now?

"What?" I look up at her, pissed. SMACK! She just shoved her gross lips on to mine. Saying I was shocked was an understatement. But I knew that I couldn't push her away. If I did, then she would push me away, then I would be in BIG trouble with the Arch Angels. So I just stayed like that until she pulled away, with a disgusting smirk on her face. How do guys find her beautiful? I know for definite that I don't. She carried on with that filthy smirk and averted her eyes from me - thankfully - to the person in front of her. I tried to go back to picking at my food, however curiosity got the better of me and I had to look up to see who was standing there.

I looked up, to say I was shocked was an understatement. I can't believe that my angel had seen all of this and not said anything. This is so not like her.

I looked at my angel, looking for any type of emotion. None. She was holding her poker face now. And for once, I couldn't read her face at all. "Hey Patch, Marcie. Patch, I was wondering if maybe you'd like to sit with us at out usual table, like we've been doing for months now." She said this while not looking at anyone, but the picnic tables behind this. I was also shocked st to how she managed to keep her voice so calm.

Before I could think properly or even say something, the bitch opened her fucking gob."Sorry Nora. But he's sitting with his girlfriend." I didn't like what I heard coming out of the bitch's mouth, but sadly, I couldn't do nothing about it. My angel still wasn't looking at me like I wanted her to. If she did then she could look into my eyes and see that I don't like Marcie. I like, shit. I love her and only her."Oh, sorry! I forgot that you were his previous girlfriend. I guess to him you weren't important enough enough to tell you that he had moved on. What a shame! Hey, aint it funny that ALL your boyfriends end up dumping YOU for ME. Why don't you just get the fact that nobody wants you and nobody ever will. I mean your slut of a mum doesn't want you and neither did your dad. Why don't you just get the message and leave us the fuck alone."

Marcie was such a bitch.

"OK, thanks Marcie for the update. I really appreciate you telling me." She still wasn't looking at me. I knew that that comment had been for me,a nd boy did it sting. I felt really bad. Shit. I felt my heart breaking into a million pieces if that were even possible.

"I... I hope you guys... umm... are happy and everything... err... Good luck with your umm... relationship... And I... wish you the best." She looked at Marcie directly in the eye and said this last bit, "My mum's not a slut." The worse thing was. That Patch had lied to me. Lied about everything. She thinks I led to her. She is absolutely correct. I did. But I wish I hadn't.

She walked back to her own table. Upset. I hate seeing my angel like this.

My heart was breaking over and over again. How can my angel believe all this bull shit? Doesn't she understand that I have to do this and that I love her. No. And it isn't her fault.

She's better off without me anyway.

And I would stay out of her life so she can have a normal life.

The bell rang with a !

Time for Biology.

Great.
