Chapter 19 Nora's Heartfelt Speech

Nora spits out whats in her heart at Bradley for Jade.

I sat untouched in my dorm room. I felt sick and exposed, I hated feeling this down and depressed when I was finally coming out of it. That was because of Jade and her smiles and laughter, made me feel comfortable. She shared the same past as me, we were connected in a way. Then she goes and spreads my past all over the school. I hated her. I hate her. Never trust the quiet girls. I looked out the window, all I could see was blue sky, clouds slowly drifting. I wanted to stay sealed away like this forever, in my misery.
        I got my phone out and stuck my earphones in and just listened to my music which emphasised my mood. My screamo song Alesana - Congragulations, I Hate You. It totally picked up my mood, especially since it was on shuffle. I laid back on my bed and stared at my ceiling.
        Suddenly, my door burst open. Lewis stood gasping for air. Only he knew where I was hiding. Then, behind his blonde hair, I seen Nora's black hair. I sat up, my anger pushing through me. I wanted peace and quiet since the school had a new topic too talk about.
        I pulled out my earphones and shouted. "I told you I needed peace!" I aimed it at Lewis. I wanted to punch him for bringing her here.
        He backed away, practically because Nora pulled him out of the way. "Listen you freakin' idiot!" Nora shouted in my face, I gritted my teeth. She smelled like Jade. "You know yourself that Jade wouldn't say s**t about you," She began to snarl at me.
         "Nora," I gritted my teeth. "I can't believe you are doing this! She must've told because it was just me and her last night! I hate her because of what she's done. I can't even look at her!" I knew I was partly wrong, but I felt sick and aggitated.
         "You know she wouldn't say anything about your past. Now go to her and talk to her, because that girl hasn't done nothing wrong!" She pointed at my door. She had a killing look in her eyes. I didn't want to mess with her, yet I do know. I know Jade wouldn't say anything about me, not even my past. But who else could when I told only her?
         "He doesn't need to come to me." I heard that voice that made me feel at ease all the time. She appeared at my door frame, she looked hurt and small. Tears rolled down her cheeks as she stared at me. She held onto her necklace, it looked like she couldn't swallow. I wish I didn't say what I did. She ran down the corridor, her shoes slapping the hardwood floor. I ran my fingers through my hair. Great.
          Nora bent and clutched her hair. She didn't at all look happy. She silently squeeled. Lewis was behind her and just exhaled. Nora stood straight and looked at me. "You were with Cassidy today, right?" She knew she was right, I could tell. "What exactly is she to you!?" She nearly screamed.
          "What's it to you?!" I could scream better. I came closer to her yet she stood her ground.
          "Because my bestfriend is ripping her hair out thinking if last night was real, if it was the beginning or the freakin' end. She is in tears of what happened today, she has no clue to what she did! She is going back and forth trying to make things right!" Nora curled a fist and punched my chest as hard as she could. It hurt, I admit. It also hurt inside. And because of what Nora said, I just took it. Jade was all I could think of now, lately. Nora's little speech reached me. But I was so confused, so frazzled. I grabbed Nora's flying fist as she fell to the floor. I looked at the floor, thinking of what was actually real.
           I ran out my room when I slipped on something. Lewis grabbed my upper arm and helped me up properly. I looked at the ground at a dirty posh glitzed french manicaured fake nail. It looked the exact same as Cassidy's. Nora was by my side like a ghost.
           "The girl who follows you like a puppy tries everything she can to cancel her competition. Spying to get what she wants. When," Nora smiled. "The girl who learns from you everyday, who notices you in every single angle, who makes you laugh and smile, who would just give up if there was competition to put up with, who will do anything to get to know you inside out just to be by your side. You know this girl, or do you? Since you can't even trust her." She walked off in a calm state like she hadn't just been punching me over and over again. I was left, Lewis just followed Nora and she high fived him. Traitor.
I sat there, speechless. In my own awkward silence, I was stuck. Boy, that Nora could give some powerful speeches.
