Seventy - Three

"Are we going to talk about what happened yesterday?" Isa said awkwardly as we all sat around the table waiting for Noah's dad, Gregory "Can we not?" Noah snapped as his leg was bouncing up and down nervously "Okay okay, let's not fight now, okay?" I said looking at Isa as if telling her to stop it. 

"Ava I can't handle this" Noah whispered with his hand on his face "Hey, you're going to be fine" I whispered back kissing his cheek "I'm going to fucking kill him" He breathed out and the doorbell rung "Take deep breaths" Rick indicated him and opened the door welcoming his father again, with his new family. 

"This is Liam, and Patricia" He smiled nodding at Rick, because last time he couldn't introduce him properly, I awkwardly cleared my throat as Noah just sat there. 

They sat down on the table aswell "How have you been doing son?" He asked Noah, Noah glared at him not answering him "Noah, please answer him" Rick pushed him, this isn't going to end well "Darling, I don't think he is comfortable just now, give him a little bit of time" His wife whispered, I smiled a bit at her and looked at the little kid. 

"He had enough time, Patricia" He snapped quietly, she cleared her throat ignoring him "I brought wine" She smiled "You can't drink, you are pregnant" Noah said, the first thing he had said "So, he does talk" Gregory smirked a bit. 

I took a deep breath to not say anything, is he really that stupid? "I know hunny, but I brought it for you guys" She explained herself, "Stop talking" Gregory said, "May I be excused?" Noah breathed out looking at Rick, Rick gave him a small nod and he ran to his room.

I stood up giving Rick a small smile and walked to Noah's room where he was already crashing things "Noah it's okay" I assured him as he was pacing around the room "I can't, I can't, I can't" He hyperventilated.

"Noah, you are going to give yourself an anxiety attack please calm down" I whispered taking his shaking hands looking into his eyes, following his head so he was forced to look into mine.

"Deep breaths" I breathed out taking deep breaths so he would copy me, and he did, "Good" I whispered when his breathing calmed down "I hate him, did you see how he talked to the woman?" He muttered "Noah you don't really talk good aswell to women, he is just stressed" I sighed.

"Don't fucking compare him to me" He glared at me "Sorry, I'm not" I mumbled, he sighed "I know you didn't leave because you knew this would happen" He whispered "What? That's not why I stayed" I whispered back.

Why are we even whispering? He looked back up to me, touching my cheek softly looking deeply into my eyes as he was trying to search for answers "So, why did you?" He spoke softly.

"I don't know" I mumbled "You are lying" He said pulling back, I whimpered at the sudden loss of touch "Don't fucking lie to me" He said angrily.

"I couldn't leave-" I started "You think I'm that fucking stupid that I wouldn't catch up your little lies?" He snapped "Okay, I knew you were going to have a hard time since your father is here but that's not the main reason I stayed" I explained myself.

"I knew it" He muttered "Out of fucking pity" He laughed "She feels bad for me" He said laughing hysterically "Noah stop" I warned him "Why don't you fucking stop? You don't know how?" He snapped.

"I don't know what you mean, stop with what?" I muttered taking a few steps back not wanting to fight with him, but he thought otherwise, I knew he wanted a fight, just to forget the real issue here.

Then there was a knock on the door "Noah? Ava? Dinner" Rick called out "We're fucking coming!" He yelled "I will prove you wrong, I can take my fucking father" He said and walked out.

I walked out after him, Isa looked at me and I shook my head, this can't be good, I know this is going to end in a fight, that Noah started that I made him start because of my worry for him.

We sat down on the table as the awkward silence grew by the moment, while I was waiting for Noah to explode on him.

"How is school going?" Gregory asked him, making Noah choke on his wine "How is school going?" He laughed "School is fine dad" He snapped.

Gregory cleared his throat while Patricia whispered in his ear "leave the kid alone"

"Your getting good grades?" He pushed it "Yes, because I have such a wonderful daddy that helps with everything, you know? When I don't understand anything, he beats me up and rapes me till I do" Noah spat out, "Noah" Rick said "What?" He glared at him, I put my hand on his lap but it had the opposite effect.

He shot up "He even invites his friends" Noah laughed "You know? So I could learn better" He chuckled as if he was telling a joke.

"You know what the funny thing is? I thought for years that it was my fault, you know?" He said with a bored tone.

"Noah please" Rick pleaded him "Shut the fuck up, you think he can come and play daddy after everything he put me thought? After everything he put you thought? You fucking took me in as if I was yours and because I'm such a fuck up I ruin every chance you ever had at happyness" He raised his voice at him.

"I didn't take you in because I had too! Please Noah just stop this right now we will talk about this tomorrow"

He got in his father's face "Don't you ever come near me, or my fucking family, I promise that I will kill you, you don't want to fuck with me anymore" He hissed and got up straight.

"It was nice to meet you, you are really nice, you too, little guy, now, have a good meal and happy fucking new year" He snapped and walked out slamming the front door.

This is all my fault.
