The kissing booth (All the way)

Chapter one

I don't own any of the characters, I tried to find a story like this-but couldn't.  So, I thought "Hey why not write my own?" and here I am.  This may contain some adult content in later chapters, you have been warned.   So without further delay, all I will say is please review.

Elle POV

Noah was so excited when I told him I got into Harvard.  "No more being apart Elle, we will be with each other all the time and college will be a breeze with you around" Noah said, when I told him about my acceptance letter. 

He was excited and kept sending me loads of information about Harvard.  At first, I was excited too.  I would finally be close to Noah again, we would have so much fun in college together.   I did worry about Noah's ever present temper, especially when it came to other males around me.  Combine that with drunken sorority, college parties and you had one angry protective Noah, acting like a bull in a china shop.

But I had decided to worry about that when I got there.  I had changed Noah a lot, but I still loved him just the way he was, so I knew that somehow, someway, we would work through it.  So I was just as excited as Noah was, I accepted straight away, eager to graduate and have a blissful summer before going off to college with Noah.

As I was sat there, thinking about how much fun we where going to have I chastised myself for not thinking about my best friend.  Of course Lee had to go to wherever I was going, so, he had applied to Harvard too.  I finished filling in the online acceptance to Harvard quickly and rang Lee.  And that was when, sitting in my old worn out computer chair it all kicked off.

Lee had gotten a letter from Harvard alright, just as I had.  But his letter informed him, that they where sorry, but they couldn't accept him at this time.  We both panicked, I ignored Noah's texts containing pictures of the campus, and drove at top speed to my best friends house.  A million things where running through my mind as I drove, but I mushed all those thoughts together into the background.

All I could focus on right now was the fact that my best friend was clearly devastated.  He needed me, and I couldn't be selfish and think of myself, not now.

As I went into Lee's house, not bothering to knock as I never did, I was greeted by Mrs Flynn, "Ohh Elle, Noah just told me the news! Congratulations! We are so proud, and your mother would be proud too.  Have you told your dad yet?" She gushed at me.

I didn't want to be rude, but I couldn't answer her properly.  I knew, deep in my heart that it was impossible for me to go to Harvard, now that Lee wasn't going.  I palmed her off with a quick "Not yet, is Lee home?" and plastered a smile on my face.  She must have fell for my fake smile, because she smiled back and answered "In his room dear, he should be getting his acceptance letter any day now!" I nodded and moved away from her quickly up to Lee's room.  I tried not to glance at the closed door to Noah's room as I passed and flung open the door to Lee's room.

As I pushed open the door I suddenly felt awkward, something I have never felt at Lee's before.  Lee was lying on his bed staring at what I guessed was his letter from Harvard.  He had tears in his eyes and didn't look up as I came in.  He dropped the letter and accepted me into the folds of his arms as I lied next to him and just held him.

After a while he spoke interrupting the sad silence we where engulfed in.  "Rule 18" He whispered.  "Always be happy for your besties successes" I mumbled back.  He sighed and got up into a sitting position.

"So, Harvard and Noah, that's got to be exciting eh" He tried to force a smile and the tears in his eyes broke my heart.  "I'm not going!" I said in finality.  "But.." he retorted.  "But nothing, I am not going without you.  There was another awkward silence.  "Elle, I can't let you do that" He said.  "You don't have to let me do anything, I said I am not going without you, and I'M NOT" I said.

"How much of a shitty best friend would I be if I stood in your way? It's Harvard Elle and Noah!  I'm not getting in the way of that." he bowed his head after he spoke, probably already guessing my reply.  "Lee, I can't do this without you, I need you.  We have always done everything together and college will be no different" I said.

Lee, cupped my face and whispered to me.  "You will hate me forever Elle, this is too important.  We will still be friends, we always will be."

"I won't hate you, I could never hate you" I said and hugged him, he must have thought that I had gave in because he sobbed.  "I will miss you." 

I growled in frustration, "when are you going to get it through your incredibly thick head! I am not. I repeat not, leaving you!" I shouted at him, which triggered him to shout back.  "It's not just Harvard Elle! this is Noah we are talking about here.  Are you really going to break-up with him?"

I looked at him in shock for a moment, "Why would I break-up with him?" I almost whispered back.  He stroked my hair and looked at me sadly, "that's what it is going to come to.  This year has been hard on you both.  Do you really think Noah's going to wait around another four years while we go off to a different college?"

That's chapter one guys, I will update soon I promise!
