MY UFC FIGHTER

Chapter 24

*Noah*

Why does it hurt so much that Ethan said those things to me? I should be happy now more than ever that he finally got the hint that I want nothing to do with him even though I wished he would still try to talk to me like he had done for the past few weeks. Why did I even go up to him today? I should have ignored him like I had been doing the past couple weeks but instead I found myself walking up to him only to be shut down and told that he was leaving me alone. I even pleaded with him to listen to me but what he did next shocked me and made me realize that what he had been saying about never hurting me was a lie. He shoved me and told me to stay away from him.

I have never seen him so angry aside from when Mitch, Kendall and Derek would bully me. That was the first time that I truly saw his true colors. I'm afraid of him now more than ever but there's a part of me that still believes that he didn't mean to shove me away from him the way he had done. I saw the look in his eyes when he shoved me away, I knew for a fact that he didn't mean it but I'm still afraid of him. During lunch I had thought that Ethan would come sit at our lunch table like he always does but he never did.

I saw him enter the cafeteria and walked to the canteen to grab lunch and pay for it but instead of walking towards our table he turned around and walked away and not long after that I saw him sit in one of the picnic tables outside. He didn't even touch him food. I felt my bother stand up and make his way outside.

"What do you think is going on?" I heard Kyle ask

"Don't know but whatever it is, it's not good" Jason said

"Do you think Jay's asking Ethan about why he shoved Noah?" Andrew asked

"Maybe, but the way Ethan is now walking away from him only means that the conversations over" Levi answered

"What do you think he said?" Rikki asked

"Could be anything really" Maddie mumbled

"True, what do you think Noah?" Jake asked and I shrugged

"Don't know" I replied still looking out the window ignoring the pair of eyes of my friends on the back of my head. I watched Ethan walk away and my brother follow him not long after but they each went their separate ways since Jay walked back to the cafeteria and Ethan was nowhere in sight.

"What happened?" I asked and he just shook his head

"C'mon, I'll walk you to class" he murmured and I gave him a confused look

"Will you tell on the way there?"

"Sure, c'mon" and I sighed but nonetheless stood up and walked away with my brother leaving our friends behind.

"What happened outside Jay?"

"He said he's leaving Noah. He's letting you go" he replied and I furrowed my brows

"What?" I asked

"He's done trying to get you to talk to him Noah. He gave up trying to get your attention and decided that the best thing he could do is to leave you alone and leave. He loves you enough to let you go Noah" he replied and I stared at my brother, tears threatening to spill from my eyes

"He's leaving" I mumbled

"He's leaving Noah. He hates himself for hurting you and doesn't want you to be afraid of him so the best he could do is let you be happy with someone else who will make you happy and will love you" he stated and I swallowed the lump in my throat and nodded before looking away and walking into the class.

"No-"

"I'll be fine Jayson" I whispered before walking in. Why did it hurt this much hearing my brother tell me that Ethan was leaving again? Why does it hurt this much when he said that Ethan finally gave up? But most of all why did it hurt so much hearing my brother say that Ethan is letting me go so I could be happy with someone else? I should be happy right? I should be glad that Ethan finally understood that I didn't want him near me, but the truth is I didn't want that to happen.
