Elle's p.o.v
I haven't seen Noah since he left for Harvard and that was 4 months ago. Our relationship has had its ups and downs during that time. We've had little fights, but the one serious one we had was when he was telling me that the reason he hasn't been calling me is because he's been distracted. Me being stupid asked if it was the girls there that were distracting him, which led to an argument about me not trusting him. It was pretty serious he didn't talk to me for a little over a week, but he forgave me knowing I didn't mean it the way it seemed.

Noah just got back for Christmas break and I'm so happy to have him back. We're currently up
in his room whilst he unpacks before dinner.

"So Elle how's school going?"
"That's really all you want to talk about?" I respond, walking closer to him wrapping my arms around his neck. He smiles down at me and says "we've been talking about Harvard since the airport, thought it was about time I asked you how school's going."
"Well school's just fine." I say giving him a kiss.

I let go of him so he can finish putting away the last of his stuff. I walk over to his bed and flick through some textbook he brought back with him.
"What about Warren, has he been bothering you?" Noah questions.
"No, we're cool now."
"You're cool now? Elle don't you remember what happened on the beach with him?"
Oh boy, here comes a jealous Noah. Should I lie to him or tell him the truth?
"Well we have bio together and he kept apologising for his behavior every lesson, so I just forgave him." I say looking anywhere but my boyfriend.
"Of course you did." Noah retorts. "So what the two of you are now friends. I leave for a couple of months and you start talking to him Elle!"
"We have class together! What am I supposed to do just ignore him for the rest of the school year?" I say defending myself.
"And talking to him was the best option you could come up with, really! So what I guess that you both hang out and stuff as well now"
"Of course I don't hang out with him Noah. We have class together that's it, why are you making this such a big deal?" I say questioning him.
"So you're telling me I'm overreacting. I seem to remember this exact situation happening with you being jealous about me and college girls." Oh no, he did not just bring that up.
"Why the hell would you bring that up. You know I didn't mean it like that before, if anyone's jealous it's you!" I shout back.
"My girlfriend is suddenly friends with the guy who tried to force her to go skinny dipping with him, and you expect me not to be mad."
"I already told you he apologised for that, it happened like 8 months ago!" I argue.
"I just don't trust him with you."
Really Noah.
"You don't trust him or you don't trust me?" I say heading for his door.
"That's not what I said Elle. You know I trust you." He says walking closer to me.
"Can we please just not fight about this anymore?" I plead.
He takes in a deep breath and looks at me before saying, "Okay."
Noah wraps his arms around me, pulling me in for a much needed hug.
"I just don't want to fight on your first night back."
