Noah curled up tighter under his blankets, hiding himself away from the rest of the room like that would help him hide from what had happened. He had decided to come hide on the couch in the living room because he was hoping he could avoid Lucas's well meaning concern. And it was Sunday; everyone was either already asleep in preperation for classes, or locked away in their rooms hurrying through homework they put off.
But try as he might to run from what happened, it was still playing in his mind no matter how he tried to distract himself. Finn's fury. Finn's bitterness. Finn's mocking voice. Noah had already cried after Finn left from the sadness and self-loathing and shame, but just thinking about it again made his eyes sting all over again.
He took a deep shaky breath. No. No more crying. If Archer did come over, he didnât want his eyes to be more puffy than they already were. He clutched his phone tightly, pressing it to his forehead. He had already texted Kent, but he still didn't feel better, even after his pep talk. And yet, he knew being with Archer would make him feel better. Kent was his confidante, but Archer was... something else. His enthusiasm was so contagious, and Archer liked him. He was so unlike Finn, who hated him now.
Noah really hoped Archer could come. Hoped he wanted to come. The thought of spending the rest of the night alone with his thoughts and the words of Finn still ringing through his mind sounded absolutely awful. He hated how needy he felt, but at the same time he didn't care; he couldn't care, not with his head so messed up at the moment.
