"I guess you never knew that but it was a contract marriage." I said teary eyed well who wants to get married without there own will. I guess no one knows except for our parents, Noah and I.

"What do you mean I never knew? I was there when my parents and Noah were talking to your parents. Naomi I don't know where you got this contract thing but its not for all i know." Cal said frowning and I can tell that she is shocked to the contract marriage.

"A-Are you s-sure?" I said. I have no clue what to do right now. Its not everyday you find out something that big.

"Oh Naomi. Who told you this marriage is a contract. I mean I kinda knew that your relationship with Noah is not good but I didn't know how forced you were in this relationship. We thought you said yes willingly. We were so happy, there was no pressure." Cal said sympathetically and hugged me. I don't know what to do. By doing something will anything change.

I paced around my room for the last one hour waiting for Noah. I never knew he comes so late. Yeah I did know he comes late but not that late. I glanced at my phone it is 1:15 am right now but I don't. I want to know if this marriage is contract or not. My parents won't lie to for something like that. They are not that bad parents but not great either but they won't. I know that used to love so much when I was small. I was so lost in my thoughts that I didn't hear the noises outside my room.

I took a deep breathe and made my way out of the room. I looked at the living room and kitchen but he was not there. I knew that he was in his room but I didn't want to go there so I looked around the living room and kitchen. He didn't come out of his room so I made my way there. I am nervous but I feel my anger building.

I knocked on his door. No answer. I knocked again still no answer. It made me more angry and without thinking I open the door. There he stud in nothing but black sweats.

"What the hell?" he screamed at me and I stood in front him. This time I'm the one glaring at him though I know its not his fault.

"What are yo-" I cut him off by asking "Is our marriage a contract marriage?"

He just turned around and headed towards his closet I think. This is my second time in his room. When he got inside the closet I walked to him as clam as possible and turned him around by grabing his arm.

"Answer me." I said gritting my teeth.

"Why does it say I have to give you money?" he said monstrously.

"Answer me damn it." I said wrathfully.

"No. There was no contract marriage." he said. I stared at him if he is prevaricating but no there is no emotion except for hate. I took a step back I can't believe it.

My parents said there was a contract. My parents. I run and grabbed my car keys and went to my parents house.

After parking my car I started ringing the bell nonstop. I don't care if they are sleeping right now, I need to know the truth.

As the door opened I barged into the house calling dad.

My mom opened the door as I see my dad heading downstairs and my mom was asking "What happened Naomi?" I really don't feel like answering so I just wait for my dad. Don't get me wrong I'm not disrespectful to my parents but right now I'm furious.

"What is this Naomi? Why are here at 2 am? Can't you think before you do something?" dad yelled.

"YOU said this marriage is a contract. YOU guys lied to me. Why did you lie?" I screamed at dad. He just looked at me but I asked again in a calm voice "Why did you guys lie to me?"

"For your own good." Dad finally said and this is his explanation 'For your own good'.

"How?"

"You don't need to know."

"I don't need to know. What do you mean I don't need to know? This is my life and you are playing with it."

"I don't need to explain you anything. Anything." saying this dad turned around but I'm not done.

"You know what?" I walked up to him as he turned around to look at me.

"You guys are pathetic excuse of a parent." I spat in his face. But suddenly I was pushed back by a lean body which I tell is Noah's. Wait what. When did he come here? As I look up to dad and Noah, Noah is holding dad's hand which in the air. Which means dad was going to slap me. They never rasied their hand on me. Never. They always talked to me calmly. Wow. I never saw this side of my dad before getting married.

"Don't you dare." Noah said in a deadly way and it snapped me out of my daze. It didn't sit well with my dad that Noah did that because his eyes were blazing. Noah turned around grabbing my hand and we left. Its still hard to believe my dad would do that.

"How did you get here?" I asked in a whisper still not registering what happened but as I looked around. I disn't see his car anywhere. "I came with you." he said.

"Uh I think if you came with me I would know." I said with frown.

"You were busy driving like a manic." he said clearly amused.

"You find it amusing." I scowled. He is so weird. Now is not the time to be amused. Not at all.

"Yes and its about time you speak to your parents."

"What do you mean? You knew didn't you. Why didn't you tell me?" I accused.

"Yes. I did know that. And telling you won't change anything. As you can see, your parents will do anything to get you to marry me. So I didn't really see a point to tell you that." he shrugged.

I sighed he does have a point that my parents will do anything. "But still you at least should have told me." He shrugged again.

"You know its nice to have a normal conversation with you." I said after a long time.

"Is it now?" he said with a genuine smile. As I saw him smile I smile back.
