After The Kissing Booth

Worst Surprise Ever

I wake up to Noah on the phone with someone, who I'm guessing is Lee.

"Lee I need to tell her. Me and her don't keep secrets from each other." I hear Noah say.
"No Lee. I'm telling her. She needs to know. I'm not waiting for him to tell her at Christmas. Mom told us this for a reason." I hear him once again.

I decide to pretend I'm just waking up so he doesn't think I just heard everything. I stretch my arms up and rub my eyes.

"Good morning beautiful." Noah says walking over to the bed.
"Who were you on the phone with?" I yawn.

Noah's eyes dart over to me.

"What's wrong? Remember Noah no secrets." I act concerned.

I mean yeah, I am concerned, but I need to act like I didn't just hear his conversation.

"Elle." Noah gulps.
"Yes? Noah what's wrong?"
"It's your dad." Noah sits down on the bed and grabs my hands.
"Noah? Is he okay?" I say starting to breath heavily.
"Elle, he has a girlfriend." Noah starts.
"A girlfriend? Who is she? How old is she? What's her name?" I start questioning.
"She's Rosie Clark. And she's twenty-six." Noah squeezes my hand.
"Twenty-six?" I repeat.
"Yeah." Noah gulps.
"She could be my fucking sister. What the hell." I jump out of bed.
"Elle, calm down." Noah puts his hands around my waist.
"Noah how the fuck can I calm down? My dad is fifty-two Noah. He could be her fucking father and not even be a teen dad." I say pacing the room.
"But Elle there's more." Noah tries to calm me down, but mentioning that certainly didn't.
"What more could there be?" I look at him.
"She's pregnant." Noah sighs.
"Pregnant!" I scream.

My mouth drops wide open and I nearly fall against the wall in shock.

Noah sits down on the floor beside me.

"Noah what's going to happen? My dad got a twenty-six year old pregnant. And now she'll be my stepmom when he proposes." I cry.
"I want to go meet her. Before winter break. I'm already all set up for switching to online if I need to, so are you. I need to meet this bitch and put her in her spot. Let her know that she can't take my father away from me or Brad, even if I'm not impressed with him for a lot of reasons right now." I look up to Noah.
"I can get last minute flights, and my mom misses you, and me, like hell right now." Noah says helping me up.
"Are we going back to LA?" I ask him.
"If my girl wants to?" Noah asks me.
"Your girl does." I kiss him on the cheek.

Noah ends up getting a flight someone canceled for cheap and in four hours, so we gotta go, go, go. This is all going so quickly I barley even know what I'm packing. An hour ago I was peacefully sleeping and now I'm going back to LA on a Sunday afternoon.

"What should I even pack? How long will we be in LA?" I ask Noah.
"Well winter break is in a week so until we have to come back after winter break?" Noah suggests.
"That's a lot of clothes to pack Flynn." I joke.
"Noooo! Not Flynn, it's Noah, baby, babe, anything but for you to call me Flynn." Noah chuckles.
"Okay Flynn." I giggle.

Noah jumps onto me and starts tickling me all over. I start giggling uncontrollably until there's a knock at the door.

"Who is it?" Noah looks over to the door.
"It's Josh, can I come in." Josh replies.
"Oh, yeah sure." Noah says before Josh is inside.
"Where you guys going? Already getting ready for winter break?" Josh says noticing my suitcase with stuff shoved in it.
"Okay so Josh we're leaving early because we have some family issues."
"Okay? Everyth-"

Josh gets cut off by my phone starting to ring. I grab my phone off the night side table to see Lee is calling me.

"It's alright, continue, I'll go into the guest bedroom." I say walking over to the guest room.
"What's up?" I answer.
"Heyyy! How are you?" Lee fake says.
"You can drop the act. Noah told me." I admitted.
"Oh." Lee sighs.
"And we're going back to LA today." I add on.
"Wait? Really? Why?" Lee questions.
"I need to meet her, and let her know that she can't take my dad from me or Brad." I reply.
"Your dad and you are good?" Lee concerns.
"No, but I need to help Brad. And I still love him no matter what." I disclose.
"Okay. Well then I'm coming down too."
"Lee you can't just do that." I object.
"And why can you?" Lee questions.
"Because me and Noah are both set up for the online courses we need. I doubt you are, you never even thought about it."
"Little do you know I had planned to come down to Boston once you had the baby to help you out." Lee mentions.
"What? Oh my gosh Lee." I say shocked.
"And so did Rachel." Lee adds on.
"You guys!" I nearly scream.
