Kissing Booth (college edition)

Chapter 14

After finding out Lee and I would be attending different colleges, my life felt messy. A part of me was going to boston, another was my future, and another was lying in a hospital bed that may never wake up. 

The school year was almost over and I could finally go back to my boys. I hate saying it like that but I don't know how else to explain it. I was 3 months pregnant at this point and I was scared. My parents decided they weren't going to join me when I go visit Noah. They agreed to let me stay with Liam and Lee again which I was excited for.

.....

(3 weeks later)

I was leaving for Massachusetts in a couple hours. Lee and Liam were picking me up. My parents said they would visit but of course I told them not to worry. 

The airport was crowded as usual. I was so excited to see everyone. I am ready to see Noah. It's been so long.

....

"Welcome back from jail El" I got off my gate and I saw a large sign with my name on it. I ran towards the sign and I saw Liam and Lee underneath it. 

"El!" Liam dropped the sign and grabbed my and pulled my close. All my thoughts had drifted away. There was a tap on my right shoulder. I pulled away from Liam and looked at Lee holding out his arms waiting for a hug.

I went in for the hug and smiled. "I missed you guys so much." I pulled away and followed them into the car. 

"We missed you too. Liam wouldn't shut up about you." My cheeks felt so warm when I got in the back seat. "How is the baby?" Lee sat in the front but was turned around to talk to me.

"Good! I have to meet with the doctors soon. Hows Noah?" The car went silent. I looked at both of them. Liam turned onto the highway and Lee sat straight up in the seat.

"Well, um. Nothing has changed." I put my head down when Lee told me the news. I didn't know what else I was expecting, I'm just glad they didn't pull the plug.

.......

Life was going by so fast these days.  I was getting further along in the pregnancy and it was scary because I felt like I was doing it all alone. I was spending more time with Liam and getting closer with him. 

I felt guilty for moving on so fast but I feel like I had no other choice. Its been almost 8 months since Noah went into the coma. But I had approval from Lee and his parents so I didn't feel THAT guilty but it still hurt my heart.

My parents let me move out here and I was staying with Lee and Liam because it was cheaper and my parents only gave me so much money. They expect me to come home so they can help with the baby when its time.

They come up and visit sometimes but its hard with their jobs. Liam has been so good to me. He comes to every doctor's appointment I have and without him I'm not sure what I would do. 

"El?? Are you awake?" I lift my head off my pillow to see Liam in the doorway. I nodded and he walked in and sat on the corner of my bed. "How are you feeling? You're really close to your due date."

I sat up and leaned my head against the wall. "Yeah Im alright. Just ready to have this over with." 

He grabbed my hand and looked at me. "You're going to be a great mother, I just know it. If it makes you feel better I'm not going anywhere." He smirked and held my hand tighter.

Liam and I were basically dating we just haven't labeled it yet. I feel bad that he helps me with everything and it's not even his baby.
