>>2171107It’s been about a week since you’ve cut contact with Noel. She hasn’t tried to initiate any contact herself which is a little sad but there is not much to be done about it. Flare however did pick up on the fact that she hadn’t seen the two of you together for a while and you could only tell her a shoddy excuse but thankfully she didn’t press any further than that. Flare really is an angel.
Other than that, you’ve actually been really happy within the last week. On the weekdays you just played games, watched movies and just did whatever you felt like doing in the moment. During the weekend you met up with some friends and did the same exact thing with them. A rather uneventful week but you carried a smile day in, day out. It has to have been happiest you been in a long time. Maybe happiest ever. You were stumped as of why this week was so different as you didn’t really do anything particularly extravagant or exhilarating but the answer couldn’t be any more apparent.
You didn’t have someone constantly hounding you with a barrage of insults for the first time in your life. For once you weren’t beat down verbally. No one tried to ruin your mood, even remotely. You can’t believe it took this long for you to realize that maybe having someone as toxic as Noel in your life could negatively impact your life. It’s laughable in fact. But it’s also pretty saddening at the same time. Even now you still love Noel, you cling desperately to the good times you had with her and the fact that you spent the majority of your life with her. But you can’t let this realization go to waste. You need to talk to Noel about this. If you want this happiness to continue in life, either Noel changes or you leave her behind. A tough ultimatum however it’s for the best.
Just as you’re about text Noel, you’re interrupted by the doorbell. You weren’t expecting any visitors nor did you order anything so there is no clue to who it could be. All you know is that they’re incredibly impatient as they mash doorbell button like there’s no tomorrow. It’s incredibly annoying. You head over to door as fast as you can just so you stop that incessant ringing. You open the door and it’s the last person you expect but the first person you wanted to see.
Noel. As soon you open the door she barges past you into your apartment without so much as a greeting. It’s almost eerie how she showed up just as you were about to confront her but that makes things easier and quicker so you aren’t one to complain.
You follow after Noel into your living room where you see Noel sprawled on your sofa. She’s wearing a skirt so you can see her panties clearly but she doesn’t seem to care.
“Noel it’s so great to see you! How have you been?” You ask. “Cut the bullshit small talk. Why have been avoiding me?” She demands answers in a coarse tone. She is definitely very angry right. Better tread lightly.
You explain to her that how’s she been treating you recently has taken a heavy toll on your mental health and how you want her to be less mean to you and treat you more like a friend. It’s incredibly scary doing so as she does not make so much as a sound when you explain your situation to her, she only stares deep into you with dead piercing eyes.
After you finish talking there is nothing but silence. It’s unbearable. She is still staring at you. A cold unwavering stare. She’s obviously in front you but somehow it feels like she just isn’t there, like the lights were on but no one was home.
