ログインSienna’s POV
Liam leaned down, nodding as Noah spoke to him animatedly. Emily stood on the other side of Noah, gently ruffling his hair with a soft smile—as if she had always been there. As if… I had never existed.The pain came like a wave, crashing from a direction I didn’t expect. I knew I was the one who left. I knew I was the one who chose silence. But seeing them like that, as though I had never been a part of their lives at all, made it hard to breathe.I had to leave. RigSienna's POV It was really late at night when I finally heard the front door open.I was sitting in the living room. I stood up right away when I heard it.My heart was racing with a mix of relief and anger.I knew those footsteps well. "Noah." He walked in looking really tired. His hair was a bit messy. He seemed completely exhausted.None of that made me feel any better about what I had been feeling all day.I walked up to him."Where have you been?" I asked him, my voice shaking."Why did you just take off like that?"Noah did not say anything for a moment, he just looked at me. "Can you please just listen to what I have to say l, Mom?"His voice was really calm. He was not arguing with me.For some reason that just made me even more upset. "An explanation?" Then I laughed, but it was not a
Sienna’s POVI carried the tray carefully with a bowl of food, a glass of milk and some fruit on it. My hands were shaking a little. I tried to stay calm.I had been thinking about a lot of things. I was wondering if I was too harsh with Noah night. Maybe I should have talked to him gently. Maybe I should have listened to him more.I stood in front of his door took a breath and then unlocked it.The door opened slowly. "Noah Mommy brought-" My words stopped.The room was empty.I froze at the doorway my eyes looking around the room. I saw the bed, the desk, the chair.. Noah was not there. "Noah?"I stepped inside quickly. "N-Noah?" My voice is shaking now. I opened the bathroom door. It was empty too. I turned around. My heart was beating very fast.Then I saw the window. It was open. The glass was broken.The tray fell from my hands. Crashed t
Noah's POV "Rachel."She turned around looking a little surprised that I spoke up. Her eyebrows went up slightly. "What?"I could see that she did not care about what I was going to say but I did not care about that.I put my hand in my jacket pocket. Pulled out a ticket. I held it for a moment then gave it to her.Rachel looked at the ticket at me. "What is this?"I took a breath. "It is a car race." "I am going to compete in it." She looked a little confused like she did not expect me to say that.I kept talking, my voice a little stronger this time. "Maybe I am not good at painting."I looked at her being honest. "But it is not yet."Rachel did not say anything. She just kept looking at me. I could not tell what she was thinking.I clenched my fist slightly. "N
Noah's POV The cab stopped just in front of the show. I opened the door before the car was fully still. My hands gently went for a picture I had held, like it was the most precious thing in the world.Because that’s exactly what it felt like.This wasn't just a picture, it was proof of my first step.I gazed at the tall structure in front of me, fancy and packed with nicely dressed folks. The smell of paint and cloth already felt close to me even before I walked in.My heart pounded.“I’m here.”I stepped inside.The air was packed, but not loud. All talked in soft tones, looking at each work with deep care. The pale walls had artworks from different creators; some strange, some lifelike, a few really amazing.I swallowed. I couldn’t lose.I walked to the spot given to me. My hands started to peel off the cover of the picture I was holding.
Noah's POV I took a breath then I climbed out the wind felt stronger outside I stood on the edge gripping the wall and the window frame tightly.I whispered, "Do not look," but of course I did and instantly regretted it. It was too high.I swallowed hard. I had come this far. There was no turning slowly. I lowered one foot searching for a foothold, on the outer wall my fingers tightened, gripping hard to keep my balance.A little more, a little more suddenly my foot slipped. my heart shot up into my throat I almost lost my grip my body swayed dangerously but I quickly held on tighter my breathing turned chaotic.“Calm down, calm down."I shut my eyes for a second then I forced myself to focusSlowly and carefully I lowered myself further.One step. Two steps. Finally my feet hit the ground.I let go and stumbled back a few steps.I made it. I actually ma
Noah's POV Dad glanced at me quickly. His look wasn’t mad, wasn’t rough but strong enough to leave no space for a fight.“Eat first.”That was it. No explanation. No answer.Then he turned, and walked to the door, each step feeling very slow in my eyes.“Dad.”I called out again, but he didn’t stop.The door popped open, and before I could say nothing elseBang. It shut again.Click.The sound of the lock echoed through the room. I stood still, not moving or talking for a bit.Then slowly the feeling of disappointment and hurt.An empty laugh came from me. “Good,” I whispered to myself.My hands clenched again. It was not my Mommy who did not believe me now my Daddy too.No one wanted to listen to me, no one trusted me.I stared at the door for a time hoping it would open again this time.
Liam’s POV I had just opened the front door when the sound of small footsteps came running toward me. “Daddy!” Noah shouted, his face bright with joy. He immediately hugged my leg tightly, as if afraid I might leave again. I bent down, ruffling his slightly messy hair. “Hey, Noah,”
Liam’s POV I helped pick out a few more sets of clothes, making sure to pack a thick jacket since the hospital air conditioning was usually cold. “We should bring pajamas too, so you can sleep well tonight,” I said as I folded them neatly. Noah nodded, then tossed one of his small toys into
Sienna’s POV This morning was different than usual. As soon as I opened my eyes, the sound of Noah jogging down the hall was clear to hear. He was so excited, even before I could fully get out of bed.“Mommy! Hurry, Mommy! Today's goodbye!” he called out, knocking on my bedroom door
Sienna's POV I stared at the city lights in the distance, glittering like shards of glass scattered in the night air. The wind carried the scent of salt and a faint trace of fuel from fishing boats docked somewhere far away. My legs wanted to move forward, but my body stayed rooted i
