All Chapters of Fated to my best friend : Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

LIAM'S POV Noah stood up immediately after his phone pinged.“Sorry, I've got to go,” he said to Andrew who nodded towards him, then he patted my shoulders, “see you back at the apartment.”He didn't walk too far away, when my lips moved. “Where are you going?” There was a slight edge to my voice which I hadn't intended. I knew there was only one person who could make him leave mid conversation. “ Oh yeah. Leela is sick, I need to check on her,” he said, as casual as ever.Leela. Leela. Leela. The fuck it was always Leela.“Mhm, see you later then,” I answered calmly even though my beast raged within me.He turned and just left after that, leaving me with Andrew.Andrew shook his head and sighed.“That must be painful watching…..”“Shut up!” I snapped, my hands gripping the fork so hard that it bent. Andrew didn't look fazed, instead his smile deepened. Oh how I wanted to snap his head into two for ever bring up that day at the bar.“What? I was just curious, you know? I wanted

LIAM'S POV The rehearsal ended quickly and I escorted Noah to the cafeteria. He was still quiet, occasionally staring at his phone. “You know she might just be busy,” I said to him but he only sighed and ordered a glass of juice. Nothing else to it.My expression hardened. If he kept up this way — starving himself, he would probably get sick soon.“Have something to eat,” I said and he shook his head. “Not hungry.” I smacked my tongue against my teeth and ordered some burgers. “If you don't eat, you would get sick too,” I said as I followed after him. He sat down opposite me and drank from his glass. His brows were gathered, as if he was lost in thought. “It's normal to be worried about my girlfriend. I don't even know where she is,” he breathed out. I do know where she was. She was with Sammy, probably acting coquettish and innocent and lying. Sammy had sent me his conversation with her. She swore she didn't have a boyfriend.“I'm worried about you. Just eat something,” I sa

NOAH'S POV“Sorry to interrupt. I was told to find Liam Rayne here. Do you … perhaps know where he went?” She asked, her puppy eyes wide with expectation. I sized her up while still hugging Leela, then I shook my head. Although I would love to tease Liam and probably send the girl after him, I didn't know where he had gone, and I also didn't want to piss him off. Her shoulders sagged. “Can you ….” She paused. Her gaze lingered on Leela who hadn’t bothered to look at her. She continued. “perhaps show me the way back to my dorm?” She asked and that was when Leela unhooked herself from me, staring intently at her. Leela stared at her like she was inspecting a suspect, “You are a business student?” Leela asked and Zoe smiled, bowing again that it felt too generic. Now I understood why Liam hated her. He must have felt she was too fake. “Why do you keep coming to the theatre art department?” She asked and Zoe’s expression broke for a moment, before she regained her smile. “I always ge

LIAM'S POV “Are you okay?” Noah asked as he noticed how quiet I became.My head was dipped in a bow. My hands clenched as I struggled to control the beast that threatened to take control. “Hm,” I hummed but it came out like a groan. Deep and guttural.Noah didn't react, he only patted my back softly. I shivered at the warmth of his palm against my cold back, but then he retracted his hands and continued showering.I opened my eyes again, and this time, my eyes had returned to the usual black. I exhaled and let the water pour down on my body. Right now, all I wanted was to be done with this. To clean up, and stay the fuck away from him before I did something I would regret. We were done, and I spent the next few minutes looking down — counting my toes while wiping my body. If I dared stare at Noah right now, I couldn't promise what I would do next. “When would you start work again?” Noah asked after we were done dressing. The room was still dark with only the phone light on. The w

NOAH'S POV Back at the apartment, Liam was still showering while I waited, scrolling through my messages. I saw my mother's message still sitting there — unread.I pursed my lips, stared at it for a while before swiping it open. “What do you want for your birthday dear?” The message read. My birthday? I had forgotten that Leela mentioned it about a week ago. I stared at the message for while, then ignored it and turned off the phone. I should feel bad. I should feel a slight tug at my chest, bitterness on my tongue, instead, I felt nothing. I was just ignoring them like they ignored me all my life. Liam finished up, dressed and we left the apartment to have dinner. “Which restaurant do you have in mind?” I asked and he fished out his phone instead, scrolled through chats, he stared at a particular chat for a while before he slid his phone back in his pocket with a strange calm. The type of calm that made me wonder what was going in his head. “Let's wait a bit. I have something t
