*skipping some time*

I wake up to my alarm. I toss over to my phone and look at the time. Wow, I've slept through two alarms already.

After contemplating getting up I finally get up to go get ready. I put my uniform on then put one of Noah's hoodies on top. I throw my hair is a messy bun then go downstairs for breakfast.

When I get downstairs Lee and Rachel are sitting at the island.

"Why are you looking like that, today?" Rachel says eyeing my looks.
"I don't care about today." I say looking into the fridge.
"But it's Valentine's Day, you have a boyfriend, so what could you not like about today." Rachel asks.
"Oh I don't know, maybe the fact that my boyfriend is three thousand miles away, maybe the fact that I'm going to be alone on Valentine's Day, eating Valentine's chocolate in my room alone." I snap.

Rachel looks over to Lee but Lee just ignores her and instead asks me. "Noah couldn't make it down?"
"No, he couldn't. I'm driving myself to school today. See you later." I say going to the door.

I grab my school bag and keys then go into the car. I turn the car on and slam my hands on the wheel crying. I miss him. And today, today is the time I've missed him the most. I've never wanted Noah more then now. Seeing all those couples together.

After having a huge breakdown, I finally realize I need to get to school before Lee and Rachel see me crying here, and before I'm late. I drive to school trying to think of what I'm going to do today. When I get to school all I see if couples together, kissing, hugging, just anything that they can show love by.

I'm walking through the halls to my class when someone grabs me to the side.

"Lonely on Valentine's Day Elle?" Warren asks.
"Huh- uh, yeah, I guess." I say in shock.
"Well I can always change that." Warren says wrapping his arms around my waist.
"It's fine." I say trying to get away from him.
"You sure." He tightens his arms around me.
"Yes I'm sure." I say gulping.
"Now let me go." I say pushing away but Warren won't let me go.
"Let her go." Someone behind me says.
"Why, you're not her boyfriend." Warren says fighting back.
"Just let her go."  I then realize it's Ethan.

He lets go of me and I walk off leaving Warren and Ethan because I don't want anything to do with either of them.

"You're welcome." Ethan says running up behind me.
"I could have dealt with him without your help." I say ignoring him.

I walk into my classroom before Ethan can say more.

At lunch I'm sitting with Lee and Rachel outside when Lee comes over to sit closer to me.

"I need to talk to you, quickly." Lee whispers.
"K." I say looking over to him confused.

Lee grabs my hand and helps me up and he brings me over to the pond surrounded by trees.

"So what's up?" I ask him.
"Shot, I forgot something, be right back." Lee says leaving me there.

I look around and sit down on a bench. I wait a couple minutes until I here the leaves crunching so I know Lee's coming back.

"Finally, you took so long." I whine.
"Sorry Shelly, I flight back was long for me too." Not Lee's voice says.

My head swoops around to see Noah and his signature smirk. I jump up from the bench and run into his arms.

"You're here!" I say as I kiss him.
"I am." Noah says hugging me tight.

"Do you want to skip, we can spend the day together?" Noah asks me after we hug and kiss for at least five minutes but most likely more.
"Fuck yes." I say without hesitation.

Me and Noah walk out of the pond area and back to the grass where Lee and Rachel are.

"We're gonna head out." I say smiling.
"Just don't do anything I wouldn't do, I'll cover for you." Lee winks.
"Lee, at this point, I don't even know what you wouldn't do." I giggle.

Lee laughs and Rachel cracks a smile. Probably the first smile I've ever given her. I smile and walk away with Noah's arms wrapped around me. As me and Noah are walking out I notice Ethan glancing at us but I just ignore that and walk away with Noah.

Noah drives me over to the Hollywood sign and when we get there it's decorated, not really decorated but there already stuff there.

Noah rushes over to open the door for me the picks me up when we get out and he brings me over to the blanket he has laid out.

...

I wake up next to Noah. In the cold, February weather. It's not freezing, but it's definitely not what it feels like if I was in my bed at home, well at the Flynn's. I grab the first hoodie I see, not knowing if it was the one Noah was wearing today or if it was the one I was wearing. I get up and go over to the car to grab my phone. 7:00pm. Okay so it's not that late, I mean we did only come at around one so it makes sense.

"What you doing." Noah says wrapping his cold arms around me.
"We should go home, I'm kinda sleep-"
"You mean cold. Because I am too." Noah says smirking.

I just smile. Noah turns the car on for me while he packs everything up. Noah comes back without his hoodie on, just jeans.

"Where's your hoodie?" I ask him.
"On you." He smiles.
"But where's the one I was wearing?" I ask confused.
"I don't know, I couldn't find it anywhere." Noah shrugs.

When we get home we sneak upstairs hoping to not see anyone since Noah doesn't even have a shirt on.

When we get up to the room we watch tv for a bit and I end up falling asleep in Noah's arms. The one persons arms I want to be in.
