"I know I can trust you because I wouldn't be here if I didn't. When I was four I couldn't sleep one night and I tried to find my parents room and when I accidentally opened the door to the guest bedroom I heard some moaning sounds, but kept quiet. When the door had been opened far enough I saw two faces, one was my dad's and one was my pre-school teacher. I had run away back to my room and from then on, ignored my father. Of course when I was seven, my mother had recieved a notice from my old pre-school teacher that she was pregnant and that the father was my father. She was devastated and demanded a divorce from my father and she kept the house and the money too. I hate my dad and even though he's tried to get me to connect with him again and my younger half-sister Annabelle I stay away from him because of how he's traumatized me" and then Noelle leaned back and rested the back of her head on Blake's lap and looked up at him.

He gave a small smile. "That's a first. Barely anyone trusts me." He murmured. Then he listened and felt a flash of anger towards Noelle's father. Hell that was worse than with him...and his parents never cared about him and kicked him out of the house. He sighed, and then lightly stroked her cheek as he looked at her for a moment, then away. "My parents spoiled me when I was younger, but then kicked me out and made me live on the streets when I was 13. I came here to Aiden, because I had no where else to go. Out of anger at my parents, I ended up getting into drugs and street fighting, something that's illegal. I only quit street fighting last year, but Aiden continues. I just got out of doing heavy drugs last year, and finally managed to ditch all of my enemies from the street fights last month. I was one of the best...so as you can imagine, I have a lot of...'fans'. Otherwise a lot of people who want to murder me, so I've been somehow managing to stand the hell hole called school to keep myself safe." He said, grimacing.

Noelle was going to continue, but she had immediately shut her mouth once she heard what Blake was saying, which was about his past too and how he ended up here in New York. It made Noelle kind of sad that it took him that long to get of street fighting and that he has to live here with his brother Aiden which is a total idiot and jerk. Noelle too had looked away, but had quickly looked back at Blake and said "My life is messed up right now Blake, but I'm not completely done telling you about my past. After I was seven I pretty much had to take care of myself because my mother didn't want other people coming into the house to babysit me. I did a good job, but I also felt lonely and my mother did too. So, when I was twelve my mom adopted a girl around my age named Lola and gave her the last name Scanlon too. When I was fourteen, I got a letter from my dad asking me to meet him and I thought why not, but when I looked into the window of the restaurant I was meeting him at I saw four kids and two adults, so then I ran back home, becoming depressed. I had even started drinking two years after that, heavily too, but I've calmed down and don't go as much and I'm not really depressed anymore. My father abondoned me and my mother and expects I'll just come to him like that now, never, actually I never want to see his face again." Then Noelle made a very serious face letting Blake know that he shouldn't worry or try to calm her down because she just wanted to keep going and learn more about Blake.

Blake sighed, and watched her carefully for a moment before pursing his lips. "Huh...never would've guessed that." He murmured about the part about Lola Scanlon. It was weird to think that she was practically Noelle's sister. Then he shook his head, his eyes closed, at the drinking part. "Been there, done that. Trust me, alcohol is never the answer to anything. It just screws everything up." He said, heaving a sigh. Blake frowned a bit, and then shrugged. "That's kind of how I feel about my parents. It's only now that they start pitying me. But I honestly don't care about them at all...they threw me out, that made them lose my respect for them. So, pretty much, it's their faults. They're the ones who threw me out in the first place. And back when they did, the worst thing I'd done was vandalize a building. Oh, if only they could see what I've done now. Yet, the pity still comes around." He said, a grim smile on his lips as he spoke of the parents he pretty much hated. "And, to help out Aiden, I might get back into street fighting. Makes good money...but the outcome of the fights aren't always pretty. Still, it's worth it." He said, his voice thoughtful. He wasn't lying about the street fighting...but he might reconsider if Noelle was against it. The key word: might. And since there was no way he could ever get a job and he didn't want pity money from the people he hated most, the fighting seemed like the only idea.

Noelle was actually going frantic in her mind right now because so many thoughts were going through her mind, especially with how she used to play games with her dad before he had started having an affair with her mother. Now it just made her sick even trying to picture him after that because he was now a changed person and she didn't want him back in her life, just like her mother didn't want him back. Her mother had adopted two kids, Lola Scanlon, and Aria Fields and really only Noelle liked Aria because her and Aria were both nerds and Lola was smart, but she was sports girl and now she was pregnant too and with twins. Of course when that thought came into her mind Noelle had snapped back into reality and had paid attention to what Blake was saying because it was sticking to her ears like glue and when he had finished speaking it made her shudder a little on the inside that he considered going back to street fighting and his issues with his parents were just as bad. "Um, Blake I really don't think you should go back to street fighting. I could help you find a job if you really need one. I want to help, if you'll let me Blake" and Noelle had then tried to smile at him.

He sighed, and shook his head with a smile on his lips. "You can earn more in one fight than you can a week or two at a regular job." He said, thinking for a moment. "1,000 or more as the highest, but 200 to 300 for the lowest. A pretty goodpay, if you ask me." He said, musing. But then Blake looked down at her and lightly put his hand on her cheek, and frowned a bit. "I won't lose, I never have. You don't have to worry at all." He murmured, before kissing her forehead, then her lips. Then he sighed, pulling away from her.

Noelle had pulled away from Blake with a very serious look on her face and said "I can't help but worry about you Blake, no matter how good you said you are that won't make any difference to me. I also don't care about how much more you can doing this instead of a real job. What I care about is your safety and if you go back into it and try to come back out again, whats going to happen then Blake?" and then Noelle put her head on her kness and sighed.

He sighed, shaking his head. "It's not needed. I realy don't want you worrying about me." He said, frowning a bit at her now. Then he thought for a moment. "Depends. If I make any enemies, I'm screwed...and if I don't, then I'm fine. But there are very few newbies there now...I should be fine." He said thoughtfully, then grimaced as he looked at her. "It wasn't that hard to get out of it last time, Noelle. The only reason I stayed so long was because of the money." He said, half-lying. 'And because of all of the assholes taunting me...' He thought in an aside, and his eyes watched her for a moment before kissing her forehead and pulling away. He stayed a good 4 feet away from her, giving her a bit of space.
"No matter what you say, I can't guarantee I'm going to back out because you want me to. Your opinion matters to me more than anything...but I can't just back out because of you. It's not as easy as it sounds. Aiden is thinking about kicking me out soon, unless I start helping with the pay. And I know he probably won't be able to survive on his own without me." He said, his bit of caretaker side coming out as he frowned deeply at her.

ooc- sorry it's a bit short.
Noelle listened to every word that Blake had to say which made her cry because she still didn't care that he wanted to go back. She would never change her mind, not even if Blake did it and didn't get hurt. Seeing him doing the fights and even getting close to getting hurt made her shutter because she loved him and would absolutely hate to see him fighting. However, it seemed as though she wouldn't be changing his mind anytime soon. "Blake, no matter what you say I still can't stand the thought of you getting hurt and or even getting close to getting hurt. I want to be with you, but how can we be together if you're always going to be fighting."

Blake sighed, and then watched her carefully before speaking. "Then try not to think about it. I really don't want to lose you over something like this. But I really can't just ditch this whole entire thing and say it never happened, Noelle. Believe me...if I had any other choice that would have the same living circumstances as the reward of it, and you approved, I would do it. But I'm not lying to you, this is one of my only choices that's suitable." He said, his voice very quiet. Blake could only imagine what his brother would think and say about him right now. He honestly didn't care, he didn't care at all what his brother thought. But that didn't mean he didn't care...the only reason he was considering going back to what caused most of the shit in his life is for his brother...

"Blake, how long are you going to be doing this? Is this going to be a long term thing?" and Noelle realized she was saying a bunch of questions and just shut up after saying her tenth question to Blake. Noelle, however, couldn't help it because she loved Blake and she'd blame herself if he got hurt even though he says he knows what he's doing. She just can't help, but think about it. Every time she thought about it Noelle pictured seeing Blake in a hospital. Nothing was coming out of her mouth as she was done trying to reason with Blake.

He sighed as he listened to every single one of the questions she asked. He honestly couldn't be sure about it all. "It depends." He said quietly, answering both of her frist two questions. But he wasn't going to answer all the others just yet. He had to think about everything...and that might take a little bit for him to get everything together. Blake was going to ask a stupid question, and he already knew the answer, but he had to be sure. "Can you try to look pass this, Noelle? It really isn't as bad as it seems." He said, slightly reasoning and slightly pleading. But thats what caught him: pleading. That was the last thing anyone would ever see him do. But here he was, pleading with the girl he loved to be ok with the chance that he could get hurt or even killed from something. Blake didn't realize how stupid it sounded until he thought of it like that.

"Blake I really love you and I don't want to lose you. No matter how much you say you're going to be extra careful there is always a chance. However, I'm not going to even try to change your mind anymore. Just go and do it because I'm not going to try and say anything to stop you anymore" and then Noelle held her knees up and buried her face in her knees and nearly fell off the edge of the bed. Noelle was seriously done with Blake. If he wouldn't listen to her and not go back to fighting then she wouldn't tell him he shouldn't. It Blake ends up hurt Noelle will be there for him, but will tell him she knew this was going to happen.

He sighed, and then grabbed her and pulled her so she was a bit closer to him. "Then I won't try to reason with you. It just kinda makes me feel somewhat guilty doing the fights if you don't approve of it." He said, trying to get her to look at him. Blake was doubting that his feeble attempt would work on her. But it was worth a try. He understood why she was worried and against it...but at the same time he didn't. He knew he wouldn't get hurt...

"Look Blake I'm not going to try and stop you. Go ahead and do whatever you want because I can't and won't stop you unless you don't want to do it. It's your choice to make, not mine" and then Noelle looked away from Blake and tried her best not to look at him. Noelle really cared about him, but she wasn't going to anything to try and stop him from fighting because he wouldn't listen to her.
