the kissing booth

seventeen

It was the night of the prom and Nanna was helping Elle get ready.
I wasn't going to go. It was going to be too painful.
Elle came into the room when I was glancing at the picture of Noah and I at age 4.

"Drew dad said you could go." She said. I glance at her and pulled on my best smile.
"I'm not feeling well, Elles but have fun for the both of is okay?" I asked as I kissed the top of her head. "You look beautiful. Now get down there. Prince Lee is waiting for you." I tease as I push her out and down stairs.
5 minutes later Nana came into my room.
"Get your ass up and get ready." She said.
"Nana..." I began.
"I don't care. Now." She said as she pulled out her makeup pallet and curling iron.
I sigh as I walk up to my closet and pulled out the dress that I got for prom and got dressed.

When I got done getting ready, she styled my hair and put a flower crown on my head. 

When she was doing my hair, I just kept looking at the picture.
"Did something happen between you and Noah?" She asked.
"We dated. Something got in the way... Then we broke up." I said.
She just stays quiet.
The final step was the makeup.

I walk down the stairs to see my dad, Ollie, Elle, and Lee were all in the living room.
"You look beautiful, Drew." He said.
"Thanks dad." I said not being able to look at him.
Then we all left for prom in Lee's car after pictures.
Mr.Evans POV
My daughter didn't even look at me.
"I saw that." She said.
"Saw what?" I asked.
"You got in between Noah and her relationship... Didn't you?" She said.
"Beth, I don't like Noah with Drew. I'm scared he's going to hurt her." I said.
"Well I didn't like you either. But you made my daughter happy. That was the only thing that mattered. Noah made her happy. And you broke her. You better fix this or this is how she will always see when she talks to you or sees you." She said as she walked into the kitchen.
She was right. I need to fix this. I ran to the car and drove over to the Flynn's place. I knock on the door and Molly answers the door.
"Evans how can I help you?" She asked.
"May I speak with Noah, please?" I asked.
"Yeah sure." She said as she moved to the side and let me in.
Noah's point of view.
I sat on the bed just staring off into space. I couldn't wait to get out of here.
Suddenly there was a knock at the door.
"Go away!" I said.
"No it's me." I hear Mr.Evans say.
"Mr. Evans." I said as you open the door.
"I like you. Don't get me wrong. But I can't say I support you too, but you make my daughter happy. And I know how you feel about Drew. You love her. I know you do. So I'm saying get on your tux and get your ass to prom." He said.
I glanced at my tux that was hanging up on the closet-door. Drew's point of view.
"No way, this is amazing! Look!" Elle said.
"Oh, come on." He said with a laugh. Then spots the yearbook guy.
"Hey yearbook guy!" He said.
"Yeah?" He asked.
Cool pictures... Really good, dude. Kind of makes you a little less annoying." He said.
"Thanks!" He said.
"Hello Los Angeles Country Day prom. Now I'd like to introduce this year's prom thing... Memories. Photos which show images of a truly fantastic year. The moments that stood out and help to Define who we are as a class. It's a final look back on who we were at the very moment that we're looking forward to who we want to become. So for everyone out there. Let's make this from the very best! On to Memory Lane!" The student council president said.
We walk into the prom to see a lot of pictures I see Noah playing football at the beach.
"It's amazing! This is so cool! Who did this? It's beautiful." Elle said.
"Oh my God." Ellie said as we came to the kissing Booth.
"Guys you are too much."
Lee Smiles at Elle and runs up to the booth and gets the blindfold and points to Elld to come and kiss him.
"Drew." I hear my name as I glanced on stage to see Noah. "I think you're up next..."

Sorry Noah. I can't." I said as I start to walk away.
"No, Drew, Wade, please! Drew." That's when my dad came in I turn towards him.

"Why? Why should I. When I begged you to turn around you didn't. Why should I?" I ask.

"Because I love you too. I'm standing here in front of everyone. I'm telling you that I love you." He said.

"No one wants us to be together, Noah!" I shout.

"Well, that may be true, but what do you want?" He asked.

"I want... I want to go." I ran out holding my dress.
"Drew!" Elle Shouts. "Drew! Hey Drew wait up!"
