Chapter seven
Noah POV
I have spent most of my life hiding from what my father didn't want me to be. I have had so many good things in my life and of course my father has ruined
most of them. I can never say that my life has been great. I cant say that I had a place that I could call home. Well the only place that felt like home was
Branson. Branson was the only place that we actually stayed in for more than a year. That probably is the only thing that I can thank my father for because
if I would've left Branson I would've found out that I was gay the hard way . Not to say that coming to terms with me being gay wasn't hard because it was hard.
It was just easier because I had someone I cared about. Now Oakdale has become like a home to me. I have everything that I need right here
in this small town. I have Maddie, who means so much to me and is like my best friend. Then I have the guy that I am deeply and madly in love with and cant
spent one minute with out, Luke.
Luke and I have had this thing going on since I came to Oakdale and we finally figured it out. I know that we still have a long way to go till we can
actually be happy, I still have to tell daddy dearest. So after I tell him then me and Luke can be happy for once. I mean we can have everything a 'normal'
couple has. We wont have to hid anything. I know that will be the best part. Going out in public and not being afraid if he would see us in a 'heated' moment
is going to feel great.
"Thanks Maddie. It means a lot coming from you. I'm sure that it took a lot to say that." Luke said hugging Maddie.
"So Noah have you told you father yet?" She asked me.
"Um..N..No. I wanted to tell you first. I thought that you deserved to know before him. I mean I was playing around with your heart here. So I think that you would go before him. Plus I want to try to push that off as humanly possible," I said eating a french fry.
"But you are going to tell? Right?" Maddie said.
Luke looked at me in a concerned expression.
"Or course I am going to tell him. I told Luke that I would. It's just hes going to freak out when I tell him. He never wanted this to come up again. He thought that this was all gone. I just want to take my time and break it to him when it's right. If I just tell him at any time then he might be worse than if I would have waited."I said looked from Maddie to Luke.
"OK. As long as you're going to tell him then it's OK. Just like you said take your time. I don't want you to think that I'm pressuring you." Luke told me placing his hand on mine.
I smiled at him.
"You're not pressuring me into anything that I don't want to be pressured into. I want to be happy for a little while. It just seems like every time that I am happy that my father always ruins it. So I want to be happy before he comes and destroys that." I said.
"Noah I'm not going to let him take your happiness away. You deserve to be happy for once and that's what your going to do. Your not going to let your father rule your life."
I cant believe he is being so understanding.
"Noah if you want I can pretend to still be your girlfriend. All I want to do is help," Maddie looked at me.
"Maddie I know that you want to help, but I don't think that you pretending to be my girlfriend is a great idea." I said to her looking from her to Luke.
"Why not?" Maddie asked me.
"Because I'm not going to let you do that. I will come up with something else in case he get suspicious before I tell him. OK? I'm not going to let either of you lie for me anymore. OK?"
" OK." Maddie and Luke said at the same time.
"Good. So Maddie do you want to join us for dinner?" I asked her.
"Um. I think that I barged in on a date so in that case no."
"It's not a date. We just got hungry," Luke told Maddie and then looked at me like he wanted me to help him.
"Maddie come on. I'm sure you starving." I pleaded.
"Are you sure? I don't want to crash anymore than I have."
"Yes. I am sure. We'll just get the waiter over here and we can just eat and talk about everything. Sound good to you?"
I asked her and then calling over the waiter.
"OK. Sounds good."
She smiled at me.
I am so glad that we all can be friends. I love that we instantly jumped to being friends.
