Romans & histoires Noah Kahan A Troubled Mind

This time, I sat at the edge of the bed, waiting seriously for her to clarify things. "For starters, they told me that Noah is in deep waters and that he needs my help." "W-Wait just a damn second." I stood up, swaying my hand in the air to indicate my confusion. "How in the world is this your problem?" "Apparently, Noah is feeling guilty about what he did to me and wants closure. He wants to talk to me so he can find peace within himself."

I complained. Noah crouched in front of me. "Hey, it's not that bad. There is another side to this incident. I think you will understand later. Try to calm yourself down first, "pleaded Noah. I smiled thinly, "there is another side, you say. I don't need that. can you bring Dennis back to life? "I asked firmly. Noah was stunned, his expression getting angry with me. "Can you stop thinking about another man in front of me? I'm tired of enduring this turmoil, you know? It's not just you who is sad here, "snapped Noah.

A low playlist hums from the speakers — old Arctic Monkeys — threading through the crackle of laughter and the hiss of beer cans opening. “Alright, I’m throwing this out there because it’s been chewing at me for days — do you guys ever think you’re in love and also think you’re just horny?” Noah is curled up on the arm of the couch, with his knees tucked in like he’s afraid of the floor, nursing his beer like he’s not sure he should be drinking it. He looks thoughtful, shirt wrinkled, shoes missing, socks mismatched. The room cracks with laughter before anyone answers.

Noah pondered for a moment before he said, "I went to check on Madam Hans, and she really does have a problem." "What is it?" Nathaniel frowned slightly. "Would you believe it if I said that she is a drug addict?" "What?" Nathaniel stood up abruptly before a bout of dizziness overcame him and he nearly slumped to the floor.? "What's wrong? Are you that agitated about the Hans family? I'm not done explaining." "That's not it." Nathaniel shook his head wearily and he realized that there was something wrong with his body.? "Noah, can you examine me quickly? I think something's wrong. I only had two glasses of wine, so why am I feeling so dizzy?"

The sound was muted, but I could see the captions scrolling across the bottom of the screen in bright letters. BREAKING: KAI RHODES HOSPITALIZED AFTER SURPRISE RADIO BROADCAST. MANAGEMENT CLAIMS 'NERVOUS BREAKDOWN.' SOURCES CLOSE TO THE ARTIST ALLEGE SYSTEMIC MEDICAL ABUSE. I looked at the glowing screen and then back at the man shivering in the hospital bed. To the rest of the world, he was just a shocking headline. To me, he was a collection of shaking limbs and broken memories that I had to somehow help him piece back together.

He sniffled between words, cupping his hands around his mouth. Poor man was broken. Lane gave me a brief look. He then asked the ward boys to take Noah back to his room. I was assigned to look after him while Lane was out of town for a few months. He comprehended that Noah was agonized and any of his answers wouldn’t benefit us for now, additionally after observing all the aspects he was confirmed to be mentally unstable.

He moved behind me, fixing his cuffs in the mirror like it mattered more than it should. I watched him for a second. “You’re tense,” I said. “Like, dangerously tense.” “I’m good.” “No, you’re not,” I replied. “You’re loud in my head right now.” That made him pause. “I said I’m fine.” [I've waited nine years for this. I'm not letting some rookie mind reader mess it up tonight.] I winced slightly at the sharpness of his thought. "I told you I'm not going to mess this up, Hale. I want to catch this guy just as much as you do."

asked that woman couldn't believe it. "Mrs. Zoe ... she d-dies." Gladys stammered. "Geez!" Mr. Retter brushed his hair roughly. His head hurt thinking about it. Noah has used his powers. It meant that his brother would soon find out about their whereabouts. "I had to use my powers, Dad. I can't just keep quiet to see them hurt. Moreover, Gladys. I can't just be silent! I'm sorry ... I have no regrets about what I did to defend my sister. But I'm so sorry because it caused you problems." said Noah as if he knew what Mr. Retter was thinking.

"Someone who can handle you, Minnie. And before you say you don't need handling, everyone needs handling. Especially you." "Hardin and I are fine," I insist. "We talk, we..." “You tolerate him,” Noah says bluntly. “He worships you. The imbalance is embarrassing to watch, honestly.” “That is not true.” “Sure,” he says, unconvinced. “Keep lying to yourself.” “Why do you even care?” “I don’t.” “You clearly do...” “I just hate watching disasters unfold slowly. Makes me bored.” I snap my head toward him. “You know what, Noah? Maybe mind your business. Maybe stay out of my relationship. Maybe stop projecting your lonely, miserable, serial-hookup issues onto me... It's pathetic. It's sad actually,"

“Kind of. Took a break to spiral and question everything I know about human decency.” “Fun.” He nodded slowly. “A blast.” Another silence. This one felt a little tighter. I leaned back and looked at the ceiling. “You ever feel like everything’s just… too loud?” Noah turned slightly toward me. “All the time.” “My brain won’t shut up. It keeps replaying everything. Every photo. Every second of that night. Every damn word.” “I know.” I looked at him. “Do you?” His eyes didn’t flinch. “Yeah. I do.”
