NOE
You know there's many different ways that you can kill the one you love
As much as Noe loved that Jude was finally letting loose of some of his anger - and, thankfully, directing it at the right person - she hated the way his hurt shone through in his voice. And when she heard Sohalia start to argue, she scowled furiously. How dare she think that she had some right to be in his life, as though she could force Jude to forgive her if she just stayed long enough?
"Um, no."
Noe stepped out from around the corner, strolling nonchalantly toward Jude's door as though she'd only just arrived. To any outsider, she looked like a girl on a perfectly cheerful morning stroll, not Jude's new best friend preparing to kick some blonde ass. But on the inside? Oh, on the inside, she was seething.
She smiled at the Heart. It was not a kind smile. She could tell because she couldn't feel her face. "You don't get to talk anymore. He asked you to go." She huffed a cold laugh. "You should listen."
She saw the moment that Sohalia recognized her as the girl who'd questioned her leadership all those months ago, and she fluttered her lashes, purposely trying to be as infuriating as possible. The blonde, wisely, didn't try to argue. She looked back at Jude one more time, looking thoroughly and completely broken-hearted, and turned on her heel and walked away. Noe watched her go, arms crossed, until she turned the corner and Noe could hear her heels clicking down the hall.
Then she turned to Jude. She didn't bother asking if he was okay. "Do you want me to go?"
"Um, no."

The slowest way is never loving them enough
