Chapter 6

Author: Fifteen
When Noah was discharged, he was painfully thin.

His hair was shorter, and his hospital gown hung loose on him.

While the nurse packed his things, Noah sat on the edge of the bed clutching his stuffed animal, with no idea where he was going.

Robert and Adaline stood in the doorway.

Adaline's eyes were swollen from crying.

But every step she took made Noah shrink back.

So she stopped.

Covered her mouth.

And cried.

Robert looked like he'

  • The Day She Married My Friend   Chapter 10

    Noah's POVJuliet sat across from me, her hands still on her knees.She'd probably imagined this reunion a hundred different ways.Me crying. Cursing her. Going after her.She hadn't expected me to be this calm.Calm enough to make her face the worst part.Her throat tightened."I'm sorry."I looked at her."Did you know I kept saying it hurt?"Her eyes instantly turned red."I did.""But you still had them hold me down."Her lips moved, but nothing came out.Because it was true.I didn't ask anything else.Didn't cry either.I didn't need her reasons anymore.My friend was the knife.My parents were the ones who drove it in.She watched me cry but chose to let me go anyway.After that, I asked to move out of the place my parents had set up so they could keep tabs on me.After evaluating me, the doctor said I still needed long-term therapy, but I could try living on my own.My parents tried to make up for everything with more money and more stuff.I didn't turn

    After that, Noah started having nightmares almost every night.Always in fragments.And he always woke at the worst part.Drenched in sweat. Hands shaking.The doctor said his memories were coming back.It was a good sign.But it was also the hardest part.Slowly, Noah started remembering more.Every memory ripped the wound open again.Later, Dr. Harper mentioned Juliet's name.The cup slipped from Noah's hand.He jerked back, breathing hard."No injections. Please..."Everyone went pale.Now they finally understood.Even when Noah remembered nothing, his body remembered one thing.Juliet meant pain.Meanwhile, the lawsuits were finally settled.Both the clinic that mixed up his test results and the psychiatric facility were ordered to pay damages.But no amount of money could bring back the Noah he'd been.Only then did the people who'd once turned against him finally shut up.Some admitted he'd really lost his girlfriend to another guy.Others said no wonder he'

  • The Day She Married My Friend   Chapter 8

    When Noah said he didn't want to go back, the room went silent.The doctor called it a trauma response.Even without the memories, his body knew that house wasn't safe.So they found Noah somewhere new to live.The apartment they'd turned into the newlyweds' home was sold.Robert insisted on it.He was too ashamed to ever ask Noah to live there again.The money from the sale, plus some of their savings, went toward a small apartment for Noah.Only his name was on the deed.For once, they were actually giving something back to him.But Noah barely felt anything.It was too late.The day he left the hospital, the weather was clear.Wearing a light jacket and clutching his stuffed animal, Noah stood outside and stared at the sky for a long time.Then, like he was learning how to live again, he stepped back into the world.At the new apartment, he stood in the doorway for a couple of seconds.Then he slowly walked inside.The place was clean.No old stuff. No traces of hi

    The doctor said Noah's memories were slowly coming back.With treatment, more might return little by little.They started showing him things from his past.Noah would pick something up and ask, "Is this mine?"Most of the time, he'd look at it for a second, then put it back down.Whenever Adaline watched, hope flashed in her eyes.Then disappeared.She was searching his face for any sign of the old Noah.But Noah couldn't give her that.Later, his rehab therapist, Dr. Tom Harper, showed him a video.A little bird chirped, repeating Noah's nickname.At first, Noah just watched.Then tears started rolling down his face.He didn't even know why.He only knew his chest hurt.Like he'd lost something that mattered more than he could remember.Outside the room, Adaline saw it and broke down.She finally understood.Some pain didn't disappear just because the memory did.Even if Noah couldn't remember, his body remembered what he'd lost.Meanwhile, Paul's life fell apart.

The doctor glanced at Juliet. "He has a clear trauma response to you."Juliet slowly wen

    She finally understood.None of this had ever been for Noah's own good.He wasn't infertile.There'd never been some impossible choice to make.From the start, Noah hadn't done anything wrong.And they'd pushed him so far he couldn't even remember who he was anymore.That day, Juliet rushed into his room.Noah sat on the edge of the bed, holding his stuffed animal and eating cookies.He looked up.She seemed familiar.But she scared him.Juliet's eyes instantly turned red."Noah..."He shrank back and looked at the nurse."Why does this lady keep coming here?"Those words shattered her.When Robert and Adaline arrived at the facility, both looked pale.Adaline stood frozen in the doorway.She opened her mouth but couldn't say his name.Only then did she understand.Noah hadn't been throwing a tantrum.He was her son.He'd been hurt.
