The first weeks after Noah left for college was heard I'm not going to lie it's was full of unanswered texts, FaceTimes, and missed calls. I honestly think we've talked to each others voice mails then each other. But when we did catch each other it felt like no time has went by. I don't know what's my favorite saying " I love you " after every sentence or that I get to here his voice period.
" Lee and I are going to the mall tomorrow." I said when Noah asked me what I was doing the next day one rainy Friday night. It seems we can only talk Fridays and Sunday because I can stay up late so I can catch him after a football game and he always finishes his homework by Sunday. " does Lee know that?" He says with a chuckle
"No, but he will. I think pulling up into the parking lot will be a big hint."
"That's gonna go over well." He laughs
" don't worry I'll buy him pizza. Feed that boy a bunch of crap he'll be happy."
After three hours of taking an laughing it got too late and was time for the worst part... saying goodbye.
"Shelly I know what you doing. It's not working I still have too go." He said after my failed attempts to distract him into forgetting it was two am. I do this all the time I don't know why it never works.
" I know." I pouted " I just miss you and we've hardly talked this week."
" I know baby I miss you so much. It won't be long only a month till thanksgiving." It was the middle of October and he gets TWO whole weeks off. "And then it me and you for twelve days." He added
" yay I can wait."
" I really have to go to bed Elle I love you."
"Fine. Go to bed old man." I said jokingly
"Love you too."
" bye" we said in unison and hung up
"Five more weeks Elle." I said to my myself and rolled over and not soon after went to sleep.

The next week flew bye and before I new it is was already the next Sunday. Lunches with the Flynn's has changed a little. Ever since I started officially dating Noah he's dad hasn't been very supportive and I know June is trying to make it feel like nothing changes but is weird now but we have our moments.
"So, have you talked to Noah today?" June says as we eat at our regular spot at the beach. " kinda he texted me good morning this morning but we didn't have time to talk." I replied talking a bite of my chicken. " I told him I'll call him after lunch." I finish. After listening to dad and Mr. Flynn talking about sports and chatting to Lee about random things it was over and boy was I relieved.
Before I new it Noah was coming home. To my surprise Mrs. Flynn asked me if I wanted to pickup Noah by myself "are you sure we can all just go together." I asked not sure how to respond " I think you're the only one he really wants to see." She says which made me feel bad because ever since Noah and I came over of hiding we spent every minute together I even dropped him off alone when he left. Which I made sure to make a point. " I see the way he is with you Elle. He's grown up, he doesn't need his mom to pick and drop him off. You should go get him. I bet after two months you kids are dying for alone time. Even of its for a bit." She insisted with a smile. "Ok." Tomorrow is gonna be a good day______________________________________ well, that's chapter 1 tell me what you think. I will be updating hopefully every few days. I'm not a very good writer so...
