Neighbours

Chapter 9

Dixie: *tries to get her hand out off Noahs grip* Noah leave my hand, we are far behind the others. We need to catch up

Noah: *holds her hand tighter* We can catch up with them and let them hear what i want to speak to you about, which i am she you will not want them to know, or we can walk slowly far behind them so that they wont hear us. What is your choice?

Dixie: *stops walking and looks up at Noah* What is your problem?

Noah: On second *shouts for everyone to hear him* MOM, DIXIE AND I WILL MEET YOU GUYS IN THE BEACH

Amy: Ok

*Noah takes Dixie hand and carries her to a bench to sit at outside the store*

Noah: Wear the bikini and let them see your bruises

Dixie: Something is truly wrong with you

Noah: If they see your bruises, especially Bryce then maybe he will stop being so harsh on you

Dixie: I do not want sympathy from anyone, not even you

Noah: *pulls Dixie onto his lap facing him* I am sorry for ignoring you and being rude to you when you kissed me

Dixie: Apology not accepted until you tell me why you was angry at me

Noah: Do you trust me?

Dixie: More than i trust myself

Noah: I was angry at you because to me, it feels like you do not trust me. When Bryce saw us making out, you moved away from touching foreheads. When Avani asked if you wanted to go on a double date and i accepted, you declined the offer. I said that i would protect you from Bryce so why do you keep acting as if i am going to harm you or let others harm you?

Dixie: I guess that i am afraid because i have been hurt my entire life and never had someone to protect me and now that you are willing to protect me, i am afraid that while protecting me, you may get hurt and i really do not want that to happen but i really do trust you Noah

Noah: Well let me protect you then and can you wear the bikini for me please?

Dixie: *hesitates but then answers after a while* ........yes

Noah: Thank you, now lets go

*they hold hands and walk to the beach where everyone is*

Amy: Everything good with you two now?

Noah: Yup

Tim: Ok ok guys, we do not have plenty time so change into you swim suits and lets go in the beach

Tatum: Dixie you coming to change with us?

Hailey: Yeah it is going to be me, Tatum and Charli and you of course if you want to come change with us

Dixie: In the same changing room?

Tatum: Well yes

Dixie: *looks at Noah then back at the girls* I am not really comfortable with that

Bryce: Noah you changing with me?

Noah: No, i will change by myself so i will wait for Dixie to change then i will change in that room

Amy: Ok then lets go

*Everyone goes into the changing room to change. Charli, Tatum and Hailey are in changing room #2, Amy and Tim are in changing room #6, Bryce is in changing room #9 and Dixie and Noah are standing outside the last empty changing room, changing room #17*

Noah: Go in first then when you are done, i will come in

Dixie: I know that this is weird but why don't you come in with me? We can both change at the same time and not look at each other
