a/n: Alright, so this chapter is a bit...weird, so i think. haha, it all depends on how you the reviewers and readers see it. :) this chapter took me forever to write and it was complicated trying to get everything right and convincing...so yeah...
Enjoy! =)
Justin glared back at him not scared at all. If Noah was going to hit him, he had all the right to beat the living shit out of the other tan boy. What he wondered, was why Chris hadn't told him that Noah and Cody were a couple. He glared down at Noah and shoved him away and off of him. He smoothed out his shirt and scoffed. He shook his head and looked over at Cody.
"I can't believe your actually dating him Cody." he said with a soft sigh.
Cody tilted his head to the side in confusion. Why was it hard for Justin to believe that he was with Noah. He stared at the older tan teen with his arms folded across his chest. He glanced over at Noah and saw the fury written clearly on his face. He sighed softly to himself and looked down at the ground for a moment. He had every right to be upset with him. He noticed that Justin had came in the bed and started to hold him, but he needed the comfort of someone after their argument. Noah had left him crying there. He only let Justin hold him because he didn't want to be alone like that.
"What's that suppose to mean?" Noah growled glaring at Justin with daggers in his eyes.
Justin turned to him and simply shrugged his shoulders and rolled his eyes. "Well, what kind of boyfriend leaves their love to cry and suffer only to have someone else come in and make sure that their alright?" he said with a dark grin. "I just don't think that Cody should be dating someone like that. He needs someone better than you." someone like me. He thought grinning.
Noah's eyes twitched slightly and he swung his fist full force at Justin, aiming for his face. He couldn't believe Justin had the audacity to say something like that to him! He had no idea what was going on between the two of them and he just decided to make it sound like he purposely left Cody alone to cry. That wasn't true! Both he and Cody both knew. It was just so much to take in and he needed to get air, and collect his thoughts. He didn't expect that leaving Cody would cause him to break down, if he had known then he would have stayed with the boy.
Justin leaned back dodging the hit and slammed his fist into Noah's stomach, sending the boy to the ground. The younger tan boy glared up at his enemy and stood back up to run and tackle Justin onto the ground. The two began to roll around trying to get a swing at the other. Justin sat on top of Noah and punched him in the face, causing his lip to bust open and bleed slightly. Growling with frustration and anger, Noah grabbed hold of Justin's head and slammed his own head into Justin's.
Cody's eyes widened at the sight of the two fighting. He's never seen Noah so angry before. He stepped back when they rolled in his direction. He didn't expect Noah to get so upset at Justin's comment. It was slightly true. How could Noah just leave him crying in the room. Yes, he needed the comfort of someone and Justin was there to give it to him. He didn't know what else to do. Yes, he could have told Justin to leave and let him be, but that wasn't the thought going through his head. His strong arms were wrapped around him protectively and he felt at ease. But by Justin saying that he should be with someone else, isn't true. He would never leave Noah for just a simple argument or flaw.
Justin yelled in pain and held his head. Taking the distraction, Noah pushed him off and stood up watching Justin do the same as him. Noah placed his fists to his face, bringing his guard up to defend himself. Shaking his head the short haired brunette placed his guard up and threw a side kick to Noah's side hoping that it would hit him. He let out a short gasp when his foot was grabbed and he was pulled forward and soon fell to the ground. Noah leaned down and punched him in the nose.
A loud yell was emitted when the crunch of the bones was heard. Justin held his face and groaned in pain. Cody's eyes widened once more and he grabbed Noah before he went in to hit the older teen again. Noah noticed that his hand was being held back and he looked up to see Cody holding his fist with both of his hands.
"Cody, get off." he said in a warning tone.
"No..." he said shaking his head.
Justin took this to his advantage and pulled out from underneath of Noah to stand up holding his nose. He pulled his hand away and saw the crimson red liquid that coated his fingers. He groaned and glared at Noah, who stood to his feet and wipe the blood from his mouth. The two glared at each other for what seemed like forever.
"If you come near Cody again, next time it wont be your nose that will be broken, asshole." Noah growled.
"Noah! Stop it. You broke his nose because a stupid comment!" Cody said standing between the two of them, staring at his boyfriend.
"Stupid comment?" he questioned baffled. "Did you not hear what he said?" he asked pointing to Justin.
The small brunette sighed and nodded his head. "Yes...I heard what he said, Noah." he looked over at Justin and sighed softly again. "He's kinda right..."
Noah's eyes widened hearing what Cody was saying. Justin looked at him with the same expression. Is he serious? That was the thought running of both of the tan teens. Justin let his body relax a bit and decided that he was going to really enjoy this. Cody was taking his side over his own boyfriends'. This was going to be great. He had to hold back a victory smile and watched as Cody continued talking.
Cody turned back to Justin with a sad look on his face. "After I told you what happened to me, you just...left. I told you that it wasn't your fault and you refused to think that it wasn't. When you left I felt bad. I probably shouldn't have told you about my childhood, but at the same time you had to know..." he said softly. "Then Justin found me crying and went to make sure I was alright. He stayed with me until I stopped crying and I guess I ended up falling asleep." he looked down at the ground for a moment before looking back up at Noah, seeing the disbelief written all over his face. "I'm sorry." he said.
Justin shook his head and placed a hand on Cody's shoulder. "You shouldn't be sorry. Noah left you crying. He should be the one to say he's sorry. Not you." he said glaring up at Noah.
Noah growled and glared at Justin. "Fuck off!" he shouted.
Cody shook his head. "Noah, calm down." he said softly
"God Cody, your siding with him!" he yelled gesturing to Justin who stood behind Cody with his hand on his boyfriends' shoulder.
"Only because you're acting like an ass!" he shouted back, feeling anger rising in him.
"I'm acting like an ass?" he repeated pointing to himself. "Really? And you don't think that Mr. Oh-so-damn-perfect, over there hasn't been acting like an ass towards me this entire time? He insulted me. He practically told you that you could do much better, by dating someone else!" he shouted narrowing his eyes on Cody. "Tell me Cody, does that sound like something an ass would say?" he said through clenched teeth.
"Yes it does, but-"
"But nothing!"
"Would you listen to me!" Cody shouted. "I don't think that I need anyone better than you, Noah! I love you, and your yelling at me because of something stupid Justin said. There was no reason for you to leave me, there was no reason that you had to start yelling when you saw me and Justin together, there was absolutely no reason for you to throw the first punch at Justin and get into a fight. And there damn sure isn't a reason for you to be fucking yelling at me!" Cody screamed as tears fell down his face. He shook his head and looked Noah up and down. "There's no reason for us to be arguing." he said softly.
Cody pulled away from Justin's grasp and moved towards the door, opening it and leaving slamming the door behind him. Noah and Justin stood there staring at the shut door. Noah looked down at the floor before looking over at Justin who turned around to look back at him. Cody was right. There was no reason for them to be fighting, but if Justin just kept his damn mouth shut, none of this would have happened in the first damn place.
Then again, none of this would have happened if he hadn't had left his boyfriend.
"This is all your fucking fault." he said to Justin, before running out the room to go and chase down Cody.
~*,*~
Justin's P.O.V
I watched Noah leave the room. I stood there in complete awe. Honestly, I never expected for it to actually go that far. In fact I never expected Noah to walk in on me holding Cody. But what makes me wonder is why Chris didn't tell this bit of information? Did he even know about their relationship? How long have those two had their little secret? I walked out of the room and headed down the hall to the infirmary.
Walking down the lobby I got so many stares from the cast it was crazy. A few gasps were heard as I passed by them. I've never had anything done to wreck my look, and after the fight I had with Noah, I have to say it was really worth it. Now Cody won't be so close to him. Cody would want to keep his distance for a while, and with that distance away from the smart-ass I can make my move and get even closer to him. Everything seemed to be working out on my part. I didn't even plan for all this to happen, and now that it has and I have a plan for my next move, I'll do it.
I walked into the infirmary and sat down on one of the beds and waited for the nurse to come in from wherever she was, so she can take a look at my nose. I gently brushed my fingers against the broken bones and hissed in pain. Noah really knows how to throw a punch... I groaned and stared up at the ceiling. I closed my eyes and began to take deep breaths. Relaxing is good. Good for the body. Good for the mind. My eyes opened at the sound of the door opening and I turned my head to it, expecting to see the nurse, but getting none other than Duncan.
Duncan stared at me with disbelief. I'm guessing that he's wondering, how me, a person who doesn't like to get his nails broken, has a broken nose. A small laugh escaped his lips and he walked closer to me, so he was standing right in front of me.
"Dude, what in the hell happened to you?"
I sighed, staring up at the black and green haired teen. "I got into a fight."
"With who? Or better yet, what? Your hairbrush? Moisturizer? The mirror?" he said laughing.
I groaned and ran a hand through my soft hair. "No. I got into a fight with Noah."
At this he only laughed harder. "Noah? You have got to be kidding me!" he sat next to me and grabbed my chin to inspect my bruised up face. "You're telling me, that Noah, the know-it-all little fuck, did this to you?" Duncan said looking me in the eyes.
I moved his hand and rubbed my chin. "Yes he did." I say nodding.
He shook his head in disbelief, chuckling softly. "Tell me something, pretty boy. What exactly did you do to get Noah riled up, for him to actually hit you?"
I rolled my eyes at the nickname he used on me and I could feel the corners of my mouth twitch up into a small devious smile. "He caught Cody and I cuddling on Cody's bed. We started arguing and I said something that got to him. Which results to this." I say pointing to the broken nose I had.
Duncan just stared at me for what seemed like forever and shook his head, holding his hands up in the air waving them.
"Wait, wait, wait! Why were you cuddling with Cody in the first damn place? I thought you liked girls!"
"You can't judge a book by it's cover, Duncan. Didn't think you'd be a softie either."
He glared at me for a second, before talking again. "Alright, so explain."
"I found Cody crying in his room, and decided to go ahead and hold him. We both ended up falling asleep, Noah walks in sees us and gets angry. Plain and simple."
Duncan shook his head and laughed slightly. "You got to be kidding me. Who knew Noah was the kind of guy to go and be Mr. Bad Guy." he laid back on the bed with his hands behind his head. "So are Cody and Noah, like a couple or something?"
I shrugged my shoulders. "Yeah. But I don't know for how long. I just found out today when he walked in on us."
Duncan laughed dryly and looked at me. "Got a thing for Cody, pretty boy?"
I groan at the nickname and nod my head. "Yeah. I'm the one Cody should be with. Not Noah." I say looking at him with a serious expression.
Duncan looked at me with hard eyes that held something I just could begin to describe. The door to opened again and this time the nurse walked in and gasped, dropping her things to the ground seeing me. The both of us look over to her and I stood up, walking over to her and picking up the things she had dropped. While bending down, picking up the papers, I could feel her eyes on me. I sighed and stood up handing her the papers. She took them and slowly rose her hand to my face to gently touch my broken nose. As soon as her hand came a few centimeters from my face, I quickly moved back.
"Justin, what happened?" she practically screamed.
Duncan laughed and grabbed my arm, pulling me back onto the bed and forcing me to sit down. I looked up at him with a confused and curious look. What the hell was he doing? I watched as he turned to the nurse and smirked.
"Justin here, got into a fight and had his nose broken. I'm going to fix it." he said with a devious grin.
Hearing this, my eyes grew wide. I tried to move away from him, but he kept a firm grip on my arm. He was squeezing so hard, I was sure to have a nice fingerprinted shaped bruise on it. I hissed at the force he was using and glared at him. Duncan looked back at me, and used the hand he had holding my arm and grabbed my face. I say something incoherently, before he took his other hand, grabbing my nose and snapping it back into place. I let out a scream in agonizing pain and held my nose. I could hear Duncan laughing at me and I glare up at him.
"What the hell?" I shout at him.
"You should thank me pretty boy." he said rolling his neck from side to side. "I just fixed your damn nose."
The nurse walked over and removed my hands from my face. She blinked a few times and ran her fingers down the bridge of my nose and nodded her head.
"He's right. He fixed it for you." she walked over to the fridge and pulled out a small ice pack. "Place this on your nose and the swelling should go down." I nodded, taking the ice pack from her and placing it over my nose. She walked to the sink and began to damp up a wash cloth. "You might want to clean up your face..." she said handing me the damp cloth.
I sighed and stood up, walking over to the mirror by the sink and started to clean up my bloodied face. I watched as Duncan walked up behind me with a serious look on his face.
"You can't always get what you want, pretty boy. There's a reason Noah fought your ass. And there's also a reason why you had a broken nose. If I were you, I wouldn't want to repeat the same mistake twice." he said in a whisper in my ear, before walking over to the door and leaving.
I stare at the door for a minute or so, thinking over what was just told to me. What did he mean by all of that? What does he mean by no repeating the same mistake twice? What I did, there was some reason behind it. I was able to get Cody and Noah separated for a while. That is if Noah hasn't got to him first and talked to the boy. I sighed deeply and finished cleaning my face. I tossed the cloth into a nearby hamper and walked out of the door, holding the small ice pack to my face.
Now to find Chris.
~*,*~
Noah ran down the halls looking all over for Cody. He stopped in the lobby and looked from left to right. He had to find Cody and make talk to him. He couldn't have him mad at him like this. This was their first fight, and it's definitely at drastic measures. Measures they shouldn't be at. He had to blame both himself and Justin. If he hadn't left, and just stayed with Cody, none of this would have happened. And if Justin hadn't fucking walked in and crawled into bed with his boyfriend, that damn fight would have never went down! He was growing furious at the very thought of Justin's hands on him. And what he said in the bedroom. When he said that Cody deserved someone better than Noah, was Justin implying that Cody would be better off with him? Noah growled at the thought and ran out the building.
He had to calm down before he found Cody. Was it wrong for him to get upset, seeing his first love in the arms of another? For Cody, Noah had it bad. He's been watching Cody for the longest. Concealing his feelings for the boy for the longest. He's been helping him for a while now. And since he came out with his feelings for him, things seemed to have gone wrong. He knew things probably wouldn't go well, but he didn't think things would spiral out of control so quickly. He sighed deeply and stood at the bar and looked around the pool-side.
Courtney looked up at Noah from sipping her drink, and stood up walking over to him, placing her hand on his shoulder. At the contact, Noah jumped and spun around coming face to face with the CIT herself. He groaned, not having time for her questions or concerns. He needed to find Cody!
"What?" he said, his voice slight raspy.
She tilted her head to the side, and placed her drink down. "Noah, what's up with you. You look like hell."
"And you look like a donkey's ass." he retorted.
She gasped and slapped him across the face. "Sorry, for having the slightest bit of concern for you, asshole!"
He groaned and held his face. "Fuck. Sorry." he drawled out his apology and look around him.
She rolled her eyes and leaned her weight onto one side. "You look fucking paranoid. Someone after you or something?"
"No. No one is after me. I'm looking for someone."
"Who exactly are you looking for?"
He groaned and ran his hand over his face. "Cody."
"Oh, I saw him hop into the limo with Izzy and Bridget." she said using her thumb and pointing it into the direction of the gates.
He looked at the gates and then back at her. "Did they say where they were headed?"
Courtney shook her head and shrugged. "Nope. Sorry."
Noah sighed deeply and began to walk away. Courtney raised her arm in the air and waved it slightly.
"Hey, Noah!"
Noah turned around to face her, his face filled with sadness. "What?"
"Why do you need to talk to Cody so bad?" the former CIT questioned.
"I need to clear things up with him." was the last thing he said before running back to the hotel.
Cody left with Izzy and Bridget to go somewhere. He could understand Izzy going with him, but Bridget? What role did she play in this entire thing? Did she know about Cody as well as Izzy? He shook his head and groaned. He desperately needed to talk to Cody and tell him that he was so sorry. He had to make things right with him. And knowing Izzy, he won't be back until late tonight. She's probably taking him out to get his mind off of things. Noah reached his room and opened the door finding the least person he'd expect there.
"What the hell do you want?" he questioned stepping into his room and glaring at the person sitting on his bed with a devious grin on their face.
~*,*~
Justin's P.O.V
I walked out of elevator and walked down the hall to the suite that Chris stayed in and stood in front of his door. I wanted answers dammit. He probably knew fully well that Noah and Cody were together. I mean he was the host of the show, and I know he loves snooping into the lives of others, so he should know...right?
Right.
I raised my hand and knocked on his door. I waited a few moments for him to answer the door. When there was no answer after the first thirty seconds, I knocked again, this time louder. Still no answer. I groaned in slight frustration and knocked again. A lot louder and harder. I had no time to be playing games. It was because of Chris that I got into a fight with Noah. Then again, I played a huge part in that too...but Chris could've at least told him!
Growing more irritated by the second, I hit the door harder nearly breaking it off the hinges.
"Chris! Open this door!" I shouted.
"Hey, hey! Hands off my door King Kong!"
I spun around seeing Chris McClain standing there with a water bottle in his hand. He glared at me as he shoved his hand into his pocket fishing for his room keys. Once he had them, he unlocked the door and stepped in tossing his keys on his dresser near the door.
I walked in closing the door behind me. I looked around his room and noticed the huge queen sized bed sitting in the middle of the room with blue silk like sheets across it, a lot of pillows covering the head of the bed. A silver canopy hung over the bed. My eyes wandered and looked at the big bay window that opened and lead out to a balcony. Sitting on the balcony was a table and a few chairs around it. I looked around a bit more and noticed that his dresser was near his door, and his bathroom was just across the room.
My eyes found Chris sitting down on the bed with his water in hand, drinking it. I groaned and walked closer to him. The dark haired host looked up at me with a questioning look. He took a few more drinks from his bottled water and then twisted the cap back on.
"Can I help you?" he asked looking at me before stifling a laugh. "What the hell happened to your face?"
I groaned and gently held my nose. "I got into a fight with Noah." I said narrowing my eyes on him.
Chris smirked and looked at my nose for a bit, before meeting eyes with me. "You got into a fight with Noah?" he asked with amusement held in his voice. "How did that happen?" he asked placing a hand to his chin rubbing it.
"How it happened? Well he blew a gasket after finding me in bed with Cody." I say with a sly grin.
I watched as his eyes grew wide with shock. "You slept with Cody?" he practically shouted.
I laughed and shook my head. "No. Noah caught me holding Cody in bed. Cody was crying so I walked in on him and decided to comfort him. Noah finds us, we start arguing and some things were said and we got into a fight. Which results to this." I say pointing to my nose.
"He broke it?"
I nodded. "Yeah, but Duncan put it back into place." I said with a groan.
"Uh-huh." he said standing up, walking over to the window, opening it and walking out onto the balcony. "So, you came to my room just to tell me that you and Noah got into a fight?" he questioned, leaning against the balcony looking directly at me.
I shook my head and stepped out onto the balcony and stood a few feet away from him.
"No, I came here to get answers." I say.
Chris shrugged his shoulders and nodded. "Well, shoot." he said waving his hand out, as if telling to go ahead.
"Did you know that Noah and Cody being boyfriends?" I ask sternly.
I wasn't going to leave here with my questions unanswered. Chris really did have a lot of explaining to do. I looked at him and watched as a sly grin made its way upon his face. I narrowed my eyes and already knew that he was up to no good. Then again, what the hell am I thinking? Chris was known to be up to no good.
"Yes. I did know." he said with a small chuckle. "Guess I forgot to tell you that part." he said with a fake surprised look. "Whoops."
I growled and clenched my fists. "What do you mean 'whoops'? I got my nose broken because you 'forgot' to tell me that Cody and Noah were dating!" I shouted.
He held his hands up in defense and chuckled nervously. "Hey, hey. Calm down alright?" he placed his hands down and placed them in his pocket. "At least you figured it out sooner, rather than later." he shrugged his shoulders and rolled his eyes. "No big deal."
"No big deal? Dammit Chris, do you know how much harder it's going to be for me to make out with Cody, now that Noah's going to be all super-protective-boyfriend over him?" I asked tilting my head to the side.
"You'll figure it out. You're a smart kid. You do the math." he said pushing up off the balcony edge and walked past me, into the bedroom.
I stared after him and watched as he pulled off his shirt and tossed it into a nearby hamper. I raised a brow and watched him.
"What are you doing?" I asked walking back into the room.
"Going to take a soothing bath. Unless you care to watch, I suggest you get the hell out so I can do this in peace." he said unlatching his belt and slipping out of his pants.
My eyes widened and I walked rushed over to the door, opening it and walking out shutting the door behind me. I stood on the outside of his door and I could hear the manic of a host laughing at my actions. Rolling my eyes, I walked away and over to the elevators. I had to think of something to do. Considering Noah would want to be with Cody...wait, after that fight, I highly doubt that Cody would want anything to do with Noah!
A large grin plastered itself across my face as the doors to the elevator opened. Maybe things would go smoothly for me if I just played my cards right.
a/n: honestly, i don't feel so confident about this chapter...the fight scene seemed so iffy! i had to keep changing it over and over, just to see it it would fit...and the part where i dunno...this chapter to me was just eh...but i have to say that i do like how the fight/argument scene came out..
i think my favorite part is where Duncan came in and talked to Justin. =)
well, i'd love to hear from you guys! :D
