One and Only

Awkward...

Hey guys! Thank you all new fans for fanning! :D It means a lot! :D

THERE AREN'T GOING TO BE ANY LITTLE JADE'S OR LITTLE NOAH'S RUNNING AROUND WHILE THEY'RE STILL IN HIGH SCHOOL!! Honestly, that would just ruin the story. Do you honestly think I'd do that?

Anyway, the cover to the side is by justsmilex. Thank you! :D

So, I don't think there's anything else I need to announce, so on with the story. :)

One and Only

Thirty-Three - Awkward...

I opened my eyes sluggishly to meet the bland white wall of the hotel room. My head pounded, A's if my brain itself was banging repetitively against the sides of my head. Feeling the incredible pain of each throb made me groan, and the fact that I couldn't even remember why my head was hurting so much made the sensation worse. Yet despite the massive headache, I felt a strange lightness in my chest, like last night had been the best night of my life even though I couldn't seem to remember it. Though by far, the most unusual thing I felt was this feeling that I had absolutely no clothes on. Maybe it was just me, but the warmth of Noah's body seemed to have increased, like my bare back was touching Noah's bare chest. I shook the feeling off, blaming it on my morning confusion.

"Noah?" I called, when I felt the bed shift a little though I didn't turn around due to pain-filled head.

"Hmm?" I could feel the deep vibration of his chest as he responded.

"You know what's funny?" I asked.

"What?" his voiced was tinged with exhaustion, considering it was around eight or nine in the morning.

"I feel like I'm naked," I murmured, not exactly sure why I was telling him this.

I felt his body shake slightly beside mine as he chuckled. "Me, too."

"You too what?" I questioned, having forgotten what I said prior to his laughing. The melodious sound had been quite distracting.

"I feel like I'm naked, too." he answered.

"But you usually don't wear a shirt to sleep anyway," I pointed out, then added, "Is your head hurting, too?"

"No, it's different, I felt completely naked. And yeah, my head's pounding."

I was suddenly hyper-aware, bolting straight up and wincing slightly at the pain in my crotch. My heart started beating deafeningly loud as I started getting a nagging feeling as to what exactly had happened last night. Oh please let it just be me. Please let it not be what I think it is.

Slowly I looked around the whole area of our room. The scattered clothes and the...is that what I think it is? and a used condom by the corner of the bed. All the facts were right in front of me. The realization hit me like a slap. Noah and I...we had just...

Reluctantly I turned my head to face him, to find that he had also sat up and was staring wide-eyedly at the scene before us. I took a deep breath, "Noah, we had sex." If wasn't after I said that that I realized how horrible stupid I sounded.

"I figured." he said, still seemingly dumbfounded, then his voice softened and he whispered, "I-I'm sorry."

My felt found his blue one's questioningly, "Why?"

"Because," he pointed to the small trail of blood on the snow-white sheets, "I hurt you."

Even though I wanted to hug because of how sweet he was being, looking at the drops of the red liquid made me realize just how serious this situation was. I dug my head into my hands. No, no, no, no, no, no! This couldn't have just happened! It would ruin everything! Everything after it had just become right!
