Noah and Elle One Shots (The Kissing Booth)

Christmas break, exciting right?
Noah comes back for 2 weeks, even more exciting.
It would be exciting if we were still together.

The moment Noah got to Harvard he broke up with me. No real explanation, just that he didn't want to be with me anymore. I was surprised but then I really shouldn't have been.
Lee was right. All I was to Noah was just some slut. He'd got around pretty much all the girls in school except me, and I was stupid enough to let him in. A part of me knew that once he got to Harvard he'd end things, find someone better. That's exactly what happened.

He's coming back and bringing his new girlfriend with him. It stings to think about it, my heart just aches.

I walked through the front door of the Flynn household to hang out with Lee. The first thing I saw was her. She's so much better than me, prettier, skinnier.
There he was. I didn't even look at him for more than a second. Lee and I excused ourselves upstairs, and for the rest of the day we watched movies and played video games.

As Christmas break went on I started avoiding going to Lee's. Every time I was there, Noah and his girlfriend were all lovey dovey and making out. It hurt, a lot. I went back to crying every night over him, something which I'd only recently just stopped doing.

I wanted to scream at him. I wanted to ignore him. I wanted to love him. I wanted to do all of these things, but I was so hurt that all I could do was dwell on him.

Throughout this time Warren had come along. I remember being by my locker and he approached me. He started asking me about Noah, and how he'd broken up with me. I walked away, but then he said something which made me turn around.
"He never loved you."
Warren was right. I responded.
"What does that matter to you?"
"It doesn't. How about I take you out sometime?"
That's where Warren and I started. A month after Noah broke up with me.

I guess it's hypocritical of me to complain about how he moved on so fast when I did to. Difference is I was nothing to Noah and he was everything to me.

You would think I didn't have a boyfriend since I still cried over Noah, despite being with Warren. I couldn't take seeing Noah with his new girlfriend.

It's been three months since Noah broke up with me, and two months since I started dating Warren. Truth is he treats me like shit. I am just as much nothing to Warren as I was to Noah. Warren just wants to sleep with me, which has happened. So why you ask, why did you let him? Nobody else wants me is your answer. Warren is controlling and manipulative. Lee hates him, I'm just too stupid to listen to him.

I'm over at Lee's since I can't avoid Noah forever. We walked into the kitchen to get a snack. My eyes immediately fix onto Noah with him arms around his girlfriends waist as they make out. Lee and I just move around them, getting some chips out a cupboard to put in a bowl.
"I love you." I hear Noah say.
My heart breaks all over again.
Lee sees the hurt on my face.

I get a text from Warren telling me he wants me to come over to his house.
Lee sees the message.
"Don't go over." He says.
"Damn, why are you so gorgeous." I hear Noah say.
Lee knows I'm about to leave.
"Elle we can go to the pier or something. Don't go to Warren."
"Just leave it alone Lee!" I scream.

Everyone turns to look at me, Noah, his girlfriend, mrs Flynn and mr Flynn. I grab my phone and leave. Tears falling down my face in the process. I can't be around Noah, it hurts too much.

Lee's p.o.v
"Is Elle okay hunny?" My mom asks after Elle leaves crying.
"No." I respond coldly.
"What's wrong with her?" Noah questions.
Does he really not know. He's completely clueless to what he's doing to her.

"Why did you have to mess her around?"
"What did you just say?" Noah says angrily.

"You sleep with every girl in school but Elle. So you decide you'll sleep with her as well. You lead her on, make her think you care. You didn't you just wanted to fuck her! You played her. Then you break up with her the minute you get to Harvard because there's a whole load of new girls for you to fuck. You bring your new girlfriend back with you, and don't even take into consideration Elle's feelings or that she was in love with you. The whole time you've been back you've basically thrown it in her face that you found someone better than her. Don't you think about how much that hurts her. She gets enough shit from people at school, making fun of her because she was so in love with you. Now she's with Warren who treats her like absolute shit and just wants to fuck her like you did!" I shout at Noah. He needed to hear the truth.

I go to walk to my room when Noah stops me.
"You have no right to say any of that!"
"Why?" I ask him.
"None of that is true Lee!"
"That's your only excuse Noah. She cried over you for weeks and weeks. She thinks she was never good enough for you. Which you've made evidently clear the whole time you've been back."
"Fuck off Lee. You don't know what happened."

I turn to walk away, but before I do I look Noah dead in the eyes.
"I know you played her."
