The Kissing Booth - The First Year

Oh boy it's hard - Elle

I went to meet Lee after waving to Noah ... I was crying, this time it was very hard to say goodbye to him. I was afraid of that Cindy girl, even though I trusted him a lot, I was really jealous... and I told June about it. She understood me completely, but also said she was one hundred percent sure that he would not stay with her again.

I saw Lee coming to meet me halfway, he looked at my face and hugged me so tightly. "Hey Shelly, don't cry ... these months are going to fly, you'll see. We're about to get our SAT information, and with all the activities, study, and the school council, we'll be pretty busy."

"You're right ... I know all this, but I think this time it's being harder, we've had these incredible two weeks, which were even more intense after our month apart ... it's hard to think we'll be almost 5 months without hugging, without kissing... Lee, I'm feeling an absurd emptiness in my chest It is so hard to see him through Skype and feel like kissing the screen of the phone or the notebook "

"Hey, hey, hey, please, stop with these things, okay? I don't want any other details" he teased me and of course made me smile

"You're the only one who can make me laugh ... let's go home"

"You're going to my house, right? Then I'll give you a ride home later, okay?" He did not want to leave me alone.

"Ok ... you're the boss" I smiled again, but my heart was still feeling uncomfortable.

We went back to Lee's and everyone was gone, only Rachel stayed there with June.

"Hey you two, finally back," June said.

"The flight was delayed a bit and we waited until the departure," Lee said without mentioning that we were actually talking in the lobby of the airport ... not because they would care, just because he did not want to remind me why I was crying.

We stayed in the living room, and nearly 9 pm Lee was taking Rachel to her house. I stayed with June.

"My girl, you're really sad ... don't be Elle. I'm sure of what I told you, Noah will not be with that girl anymore, you don't have to worry about it even with him miles away from you , his heart is here," and she put her hand on my chest.

"I told Lee, this time it's being harder, after these two wonderful weeks, facing our separate months will be truly hard. I know he loves me, I'll be fine June and I'm very happy to have you with me ..." I hugged her and cried a little, she said nothing, she just kept holding me.

Lee came back an hour later and gave me a ride home. "Hey, do not stay up all night, tomorrow we have class" he was smiling

"I'll try ... but Noah will call and I have to talk to him, you understand me, right?"

"Of course my little padawan, but please, just ten minutes of talking and at least five hours of sleep, okay?" He joked

"Hey ... okay dad, do not worry!" I hugged him "Bye Lee, have a good night and thanks again for everything."

Brad was asleep and my dad was finishing up a report that he had to deliver the next morning

"Hey girl, finally home! Noah's back in Boston yet? "

"Yes, his flight was at 7:00 p.m. He'll be there in two hours at least ... and I'm already really missing him dad." I leaned in and hugged him.

"Elle, I can imagine what you're feeling, but calm down, okay? Maybe next year you two will be living together at Harvard and all this distance will be gone. One thing I'm sure of ... after all the troublesome beginning of your relationship, with all the lies and embarrassing moments, I can see that Noah really loves you. All the fear I had of him making you suffer disappeared. You know... this was one of the main reasons why I accepted your uncle's invitation to move to SF, I thought you might be starting your own family soon," his eyes were shining and I was
*Whaaaat?*
