Second chances

Chapter 38

Noahs POV

Olivia is awfully quiet and that disturbes me even more than the deep wound on her arm. She has yet to answer me about how that happened but I don't want to force her.
We will talk about it later but first I have to smothen Primcipal Gothans mood. Which isn't the easiest task.

I take Olivia with me towards the building the principals office is located in. I can feel her resentment as we get closer but she lets me lead her without resisting.

I just walk inside the office building the guards and everyone looking at us but not stopping us. I have what could be called a special connection with the principal and the guards they know better than to cross me.

As we reach the principals office I push Olivia in one of the chairs that are in front of the office and ignore her questioning look as I walk inside alone.

I didn't bother to knock so I can see the principal whincing because of the sudden opening of the door.

"Mister De Angelo to what do I own the pleasure?", her expression is stoic and her eyebrows are raised making her look not so nice. I ignore her bad mood and annoyance and sit down on the chair opposite to her.

"Well Olivia Sommer is in front of your office right in this moment.", I state casually catching her attention.

"I won't ask how you did it or what your connection to her going missing might be. My question is what excactly you want from me. I know you.", she is leaning back in her chair.

"You really know me well in this regard.", I chuckle shaking my head at her.

"I'd say we'll leave the girl alone about today... I'm sure it must have been a terrible misunderstanding."

"De Angelo you can't do everything you want here. This is still my school I don't care about who your family is.", her face has gotten red but I know she will listen to what I am telling her.

"We both know how it goes Karen..." Her face becomes sour but she nods at me and I take it as a clue to leave. At least she still has some common sense.

I open the door and still as I see Olivia with her face in her hands. I know she tries to be quiet but I can hear her sobbing. I hate to see her cry and I also don't know what to do about it.

„Livi? Livi, come on we can go... everything is alright now.", i get her attention and what I see shocks me honestly. Her eyes are red and swollen and her face is full of the blood that has been on her hands before.

"I don't unterstand what's going on? Won't I get in trouble?", her voice is small and broken as she looks everywhere other than my face.

"Babe can we talk somewhere else? Just come with me and I'll explain, alright?"

Her reaction is a faint nod but she gets up and slowly walks beside me. I decide to take her to my dorm room because i know hikdid won't be there for the next few hours.

I know the fact that we just walk into my dormitory building and towards my room without anyone uttering a word confuses her but she remains silent. I don't often use my family's name to get what I want but today I had to. Hopefully my dad won't get too mad.

In my room she silently sits down on my bed and I can see her body shaking.

"Now let's talk okay. Tell me whats wrong baby. What happened today?", I sit down beside her but stop myself from touching her.

"I just feel asleep and hurt myself on the fence nothing more.", the tone of her voice is void of emotions and my feeling that something else is bothering her gets stronger and stronger.

"But why are you crying so much then? Please just tell me what's wrong and I will fix it...", I move myself so I kneel infront of her. When I realise she doesn't want to answer me I take her hands into mine ignoring all of the blood on them.

"I can't tell you Noah...", she whispers while I try to tame my anger. I'm not essentially mad at her but at the situation. I wish she would let me help.

"I will do anything, just tell me.", I plead but her eyes tell me I lost the battle against her today. She won't tell me... at least today.

"You can't solve everything Noah."

My heart whinces at the look on her face and her visible sadness. Maybe she needs more time to truly trust me. Trust is earned.

I just nod at what she said and decide to take care of her wound instead. First I wet a towel and start cleaning both our hands and than her face. She follows my movements with her eyes but doesn't talk again. Searching around my room I find old bandages I can use for her wound and go back towards Olivia.

What I don't expect is for her to take of her hoodie leaving her only in her bra. I keep my eyes on her arm as I take of my shirt on her arm. Of course I find her sexy bur know it's not the time for any of my horny thoughts.

"Luckily it doesn't look like it needs stitches.", I tell her after looking closer. She doesn't answer so I just start to wrap up her arm again. I don't miss how she looks away the moment her wound isn't covered. I give her one of my hoodies and some shorts to put on and a few minutes later we both lay in my bed.

"How did you do it?", she says after a few minutes her back turned towards me and I know what she is hinting at.

"My family pays a lot of money to this shit thing called school. I just reminded the Principal of the importance me and my family have for here..."

I wait a while but I don't get an answer and I can hear her breaths slowing down probably falling asleep.
