The Kissing Booth A New Chapter.

68 CONFESSION

I never realized how much my confession would affect our lives for the better.  People stopped judging Noah and myself, and the Buckner Hall crowd were proud that I stood up for myself when it came to the lies that Beth and Rachel were spilling between MIT and BSU. Even though neither one of them attended Harvard, the lies eventually ended up here as well.  It took all my self-control not to lose it several times when people would call me a slut.  Then my confession came out, and everyone understood they all realized that all of Lee's ex-girlfriends only imagined something between Lee and myself.  I didn't realize what the confession would do to Noah and me, and that had me worried after it all came out.  What it did do was bring us closer together.  I don't think Noah and I have ever been closer in our lives, and it started making me wonder what our future children would look like when it was time.  

We had finally received news that our new apartment was ready, so the four of us busied ourselves packing up what we had in our current place.  June had decided to sell it as a fully furnished apartment, so all we had to pack up was our clothes, toiletries, kitchen supplies, and bedding.  Between our practices and studying it took us a week before we were fully moved into the new place and we left strict instructions not to inform anyone of our new location since we moved to get away from Lee's life.  

Noah kept insisting on me packing a bag so we could go home for the weekend all week and I couldn't quite understand why.  He refused to tell me, but I finally gave in especially since I realized that it was the anniversary of the first time we decided to date each other.  I couldn't believe he remembered that and wanted to be back home to celebrate.  When I brought it up, and he confirmed that was the reason he wanted to go home I tried to convince him that it didn't' matter if we were in LA or Boston when we celebrated but he would have none of that.  So we were on our way to LAX.  Once we walked outside, I hear "Hey, there is my sweet, innocent Elle Evans."  I turn and see Duncan headed towards me, and I couldn't help but laugh and jump in his arms giving him a big hug.  "hey there dude nice to see you again missed ya."  "Missed ya to Evans there is no one here I can make blush with my sexual innuendos."   "I have no idea what you mean, Duncan."  "Oh, really because I was wondering if the bags under your eyes are from studying or Flynn here keeping you up all night?"  Of course, I blushed, and Duncan did a happy dance "Score Duncan."  Noah walked up shoved him "Knock it off Duncan leave my fiancee alone, only I am allowed to make her blush.  So that you know a little of both."  "Noah Xavier Flynn behave I can not believe you just said that."

It didn't take us long once we piled into Duncan's car before we were home and were hugged by the rents.  "So, Lee has requested to talk to you two, and it is completely up to you guys we will not pressure you one way or another."  "I want to see him I miss him so much."  I heard Noah groan next to me "I guess we can he is my little bro after all."  With that said June set it up for that day in two hours, so Noah and I went upstairs showered and changed and just relaxed, so we could think about how we want to approach Lee.  "Look it is up to you babe, but I would still like Lee to be one of your groomsman at least."  "Shelly baby he will still be my best man.  I know deep down inside he supports us he just lost his way.  Remember he did help me plan out the proposal, so I didn't fuck it up."  We had just finished laughing about Lee teasing Noah about getting a ring either too big or way too small as my engagement ring until Noah told him he was giving me mom's ring when June told us it was time to go.

We eventually made it to the hospital Lee was staying at, and we had to sign in and let them make sure that we didn't have anything Lee could use to hurt himself or others.  As we walked into a private conference room where he was sitting with his doctor Noah, and I grasped hands and took a deep breath.

Lee:  Hey guys I missed you two especially your twin.

I looked at Lee and let the tears slipped down my face.
