You're Not So Perfect | Corbyn Besson ✔️ (ON HOLD)

Chapter Eight | Pool Water

I  sit on the couch with my eyes watering from laughter, while holding my phone up filming my over energised best friend. We were in matching blue dragon onesies, and were currently watching our seventh movie, Hairspray. I know I said that all I wanted to do was watch movies with heartbreak and scenes that would make me cry, but once I saw Hairspray on the shelf I just couldn't help myself.

Noah jumps up from her bed and raises her arms in the air. "I can hear the bells!" She sings from the top of her lungs.

"Round one, he'll ask me on a date," I sing putting my phone down. Noah jumps off the bed and starts spinning in a circle, singing the song. I laugh and remember how when we were younger, we use to dance around her living room to movies like Camp Rock and Grease.

"I think you should audition for Hairspray two," I say and Noah looks at me, flicking her brown ponytail.

"If Zac Efron is in it, I would do anything to be by his side," She states. I laugh. Noah grabs my hand and pulls me up for the end of the song. We spin hand in hand, shouting the lyrics till the end of the song.

"Listen... I can't hear the bells!" She cheers pulling me right up close to her. I laugh and rest my head on her shoulder. Even though I was having a load of fun, the thoughts of this morning kept creeping back into my mind.

"What am I going to do now, Noah? Should I go home?" I ask plopping myself on the corner of her double bed.

"This is your home. I am your home," Noah smiles. I do the same back and sniff. "Stay in the spare room. Make it yours. Corbyn will have to just deal with still having to see your beautiful face every day."

"Its gonna suck though. I love him, and not being able to kiss him... I liked being able to do that, Noah," I claim. She turns my head so we were facing one another.

"He loves you too Kelsey we can all see it. He just needs time so your gonna stay here with me and the boys. You're gonna make the guest room your room, and you will find your place in this world," She explains. I lean in and wrap my arms around her. "You're my sister Kelsey I am not going anywhere."

"I love you, Noah. I never wanna lose you as my sister," I say, seeing her smile.

"You never will. Now let's get you to bed, it's late," She says pulling all the snacks off the bed, and bringing the blankets down.

"In your bed? What about Daniel?" I ask.

"I will go tell him to sleep in with the boys," She says.

I mouth thank you before jumping into her bed and making myself comfortable. "Shit your bed is cozy! I'm gonna have to kick dani out and steal it," I tease.

She laughs, "Good luck with that."

The next morning I woke up to an empty place beside me. Yawning, I roll over and hug my pillow hoping to drift back into sleep. Noah usually goes out for morning runs, so I wasn't worried as to where she was.

Suddenly I hear the sound of drawers closing in front of me. My eyes snap open again, and I see Daniel scanning through his bedside cabinet. "Oh sorry Kels, didn't mean to wake you," He smiles pulling a phone charger out from the top drawer.

"It's alright. What's the time?" I ask. He looks at his phone.

"It's nearly one pm," Daniel says. "You slept in."

"Oh shit... hey, where's Noah?"

"She went out for the day. I have no idea where," Daniel says. I nod and decide to get out of bed. "Oh, the boys and I are planning on hanging around the pool for the day. It's really sunny out," He smiles.
