Broken // One-On-One // CLOSED

"Other direction." Noah grinned, grabbing her hand and dragging her the opposite way.

So that Noah wouldn't have to drag her, Trini jumped onto his back, forcing his to give her a piggy back.

"Oof." He laughed, jumping up to mess with her and running down the hall.

Trini held on and laughed, bouncing up and down as Noah ran. It was just like old times. And she hadn't realised how much she'd missed this.

Noah kicked open the door to his bedroom and tossed Trini onto the bed, rifling through the top drawer on his dresser. "You got a color in mind?"

Trini laughed as she landed on the bed. "Yellow," She answered. "It's still my favourite colour."

"You just got lucky, because the yellow one was my favorite." He grinned pulling out a canary yellow hoodie and tossing it at her.

Trini pulled the hoodie on happily, leaving the hood up. She stared at Noah as she put her hands through the pockets, fiddling with her ring.

Noah untied the apron and tossed it on the chair in the corner, leaning a shoulder against the dresser to look at Trini. "How do my hoodies always look better on you than they do on me?"

"Because I am fucking adorable," Trini said with a smile on her face.

"Mmmm. Among other things." He smirked.

Trini's face softened. "I missed this," She said softly.

"Me too." He looked over to the window, out at the rain. "Are you-are you staying?"

"I-wasn't planning to, actually. I was only going to stay a few days either side of Cam's wedding. But then I came here, and we made up." She paused. "And once we're married we'll have to move in together. But…"

"I don't want to get in the way of your dreams, Trini." He turned back to her, meeting her eyes.

"I've already reached my dreams, Noah. I have my own photography company and I make a lot of money off it. I'd love to move in with you but I have my own life back in the city."

"I know. I can't ruin that…let's just-put it off, okay? While you're here. And then we can figure it all out and worry."

Trini didn't say anything for a while. She was thinking.

Noah sat on the bed next to her, worried. "Trini?"

She looked at him. "I want to spend the rest of my life with you, I really do. But I cant just leave my life behind."

"I know. That's what I'm trying to say. I love you, so much, but I can't take your life away, and I-I have my own here."

Trini looked at Noah, then fell towards him, her head resting on his chest.

He wrapped his arms around her and rested his chin on her head. "This is still a mess, isn't it?"

"I wish we hadn't left it like we had," Trini replied. "I know we've made up, but now we have separate lives.

Noah sighed. "I guess good things can't be easy."

Trini's phone buzzed and as she checked it, her eyes widened. "Uh…"

"What is it?"

Trini looked at Noah. "I forgot to say. I technically have a boyfriend. But he's really clingy and I've been looking for a good excuse to break up with him."

Noah opened his mouth to say something, closing his eyes and throwing his hands up. Nothing managed to come out, even as he mouthed like he was trying to say something.

"Can you blame me? Everytime I try to break up with him, he begs me not to and gives me reasons. Like that he's not clingy and I'm just making it up." Her phone dinged 5 more times while she was saying it.
