Falling For The Jock [BxB] ✓

Chapter 33

Elliot's POV

I was laying in bed, texting Aiden who was a wrestling match out of town this weekend. Just listening to the rain hitting my window. My fathers were on a date for the first time in what seems like forever, so the house was only for me tonight. Of course, it isn't the best feeling to be alone when it's dark and raining. At least the thunder hasn't started yet. But one Saturday alone at home without any plans feels good once in a while. 

Just as I was going to get myself something to eat in the kitchen, the doorbell rang. I checked my watch. Half-past ten, who could come so late. I wasn't stupid enough to just open the door when I was home alone, so I sneaked myself toward the window to look through it. Outside stood a drenches Noah, who looked like he was crying but it could be the rain.

''Noah!'' I said worryingly as I quickly opened the door and let him in.

''What's going on?'' I asked him looking at him as he took off his shoes and jacket.

''Let's get upstairs so you can change and warm yourself!'' I said and dragged him upstairs so he could take a quick shower while I found some clothes that he could wear afterward. 

When Noah came out from the shower, I saw how puffy his eyes were and I felt bad about asking, but I had to know what was going on at the same time.

''Noah, if you feel like it, please tell me what is going on'' I said as I stroke his back when as he sat on my bed and his tears started to come down his cheeks again.

Without needing an answer right now, I grabbed him and pulled him into a tight and warm hug. He was really crying now, I've never heard him cry and act this way. Something must be terribly wrong!

''My mum... My mum'' Noah cried

''What is it about your mum?'' I asked, scared that something had happened to her.

''She... nothing... she wants... nothing... to do... with... me'' He cried and suddenly it developed into him balling his eyes out. 

I tried to calm him down, but he was really down. It took so much to not cry myself. Never in my life have I felt this bad for another person. What does he mean that she wants nothing to do with him?

''I came out'' Noah said as he hid in my shoulder and could barely talk as he was crying. 

Oh no. She totally disowned him. What kind of parent can do something like this! It's horrible. I made sure to hold onto Noah even more secure. I want him to feel like he came to somewhere safe. Here he won't be judged by anyone. 

''I have no place to stay, my mum want's me out of the house by end of next week'' he told me, crying harder out of panic. I tried my best to calm him down by stroking his back as I held him close to let his tears fall down on me. 

''Stay here then, you can sleep in my bed and will figure this out together!'' I said optimistically as I used my thumb to get one of his tears away from his cheek. 

''Really?'' he said as he moved away from me to look me at me better. 

I approached him with a hug ''of course, I'll do anything to help you!''

''Thanks, Elliot, you're a really good friend.''
