The night of Noah's fight

3rd person pov

Twirling in her simple black dress Cataleya stood in front of her mirror adding her mother's necklace as a final and most important touch

She didn't know if it was appropriate for a boxing match but she didn't have anyone to ask

So this simple dress will have to do

She closed her eyes and took deep breaths

In and out

Her routine continued for another 5 minutes until she opened her eyes meeting

Cold unemotional eyes that were familiar yet unrecognisable at the same time greeted her

If anyone other then Cataleya saw those eyes they would flinch back

But the problem stood that they were

Her own eyes

Dr.Cristiano taught her a sort of ... game she must do it when everything get overwhelming

And to say the last few days were just that would be an understatement

The pub night

Girl's speaking at her

Noah becoming her friend

Dancing with him

Meeting his family

His friend talking about her

And lastly Noah inviting her to his fight. 

She was a bookworm for a reason

Books don't confuse her feelings

But people does

"What did you feel when you heard those three girls" her voice echoed through her empty room directed to her reflection

She took her famous blue notebook and  flipped through pages until she found her so called emotion

"Sadness, hurt"

"What about being friends with Noah" she asked herself once again flipping the pages

"Happy and ..." the silence made her pause for the first time since 3 years she doesn't know what she is feeling precisely

She stood still for another minute then she told herself she will ask Cristiano

"What did you feel when you danced with him?" Her next question came

"I felt..." her question left unanswered because 'happy' didn't seem to fit here, it was more..

The feeling that left her almost 3 years ago started building slowly inside of her

Anger

She asked the same question about his family to be answered immediately

"happiness and warmth" it's been years since she last said that word

After that came the question about Noah's friend to be met immediately like before "hurt and sadness"

And then came the awaiting question her feelings about the invitation about tonight

And once again she didn't find the words, there was a feeling missing that she didn't knew it

"I don't understand" she mumbled over and over again shaking her head

"I DON'T UNDERSTAND!!" She screamed and punched the mirror until her reflection was on multiple small pieces

Blood dripped from her hands
