♡After The Kissing Booth♡

(Chapter 1) Noah's Gone :(

<August 13th 2018>

I drive home on Noah's mortorcycle with tears still in my eyes. I pull up to my house and park the mortorcycle and walk inside. Brad is watching tv and I'm guessing dad is at work. I run up to my room and slam my door shut and fall onto my bed. I grab my pillow and start balling my eyes out. I just can't believe he's gone, I know he's not dead but it's hurts. Like when my mother passed away, I feel the same way. I wish he was here with me right now. About 10 minutes later I hear my dad pull into the driveway. I grab the tissue box from beside my bed and wipe the tears from my eyes. I flip my pillow to the other side so my dad wouldn't see that I was crying and run downstairs. I see my dad with the smile he always has when he was up to something.

Me: "what?"
Dad: "nothing."
Me: "what are you up too?"
Dad: "well, I have a surprise for you!"
Me: "what? What is it?"
Dad: "close your eyes."
Me: "dad, I'm not a little kid anymore."
Dad: "please."
Me: "oh... ok."
Dad: "thank you."

Brad runs upstairs to his room and comes racing down with a scarf that grandma had knitted a couple of Christmas's ago. He throws it to my dad and my dad wraps it around my eyes. My dad grabs my hand and leads me down the stairs outside.

Dad: "1...2...3 open."

My dad rips the blindfold of my eyes and I fall to the ground with tears in my eyes, I can't believe he did this. He got me a car! I can't believe it. He got me a car. This has turned one of the worst days to one of the best days (of course the kissing booth was the best day ever!) I jump into my dads arms and hug him so tight. I'm so happy. Brad looks at me with a confused face and then looks at the car.

Me: "what's that face for?"
Brad: "just how could you be so excited for a car."
Me: "trust me, if you were my age you would be going crazy for this."
Brad: "I guess."

Me and my dad laugh. I run upstairs to my room and grab my phone and backpack and run back downstairs out the door.

Me: "I'm going to the Flynn's!"
Dad: "k!"

My dad throws me the keys and I run outside to the car. I hop into the driver seat. I drive to the Flynn's while jamming to my fav Katy Perry songs. Once I get to the Flynn's I see Lee's car in the driveway so hopefully he's home. I just walk in, like usual and see June making lunch.

June: "hi dear, would you like a sandwich?"
Me: "what kind?"
June: "turkey or chicken."
Me: "um, I'll take a chicken."
June: "k. I'll bring yours and Lee's up in a sec."
Me: "thanks."
June: "anything for my daughter."

I smile, June has always called me her daughter. It makes me feel like I have a mom, to talk to in hard times. I run upstairs to Lee's room and just walk right in.

Lee: "hey."
Me: "what's up?"
Lee: "nothing."
Me: "do you know when Noah's visiting?"
Lee: "already. He just left."
Me: "I know, I just miss him too much."
Lee: "I think he's coming back in like September or something."
Me: "I can't wait that long."

I fall onto Lee's bed with tears in my eyes. Lee gives me the tightest hug and it makes me feel better, Lee always makes me feel better. A couple minutes later June comes up with lunch. She brings up 2 chicken sandwich's and a Sprite for Lee and a Diet Coke for me. She puts it on Lee's bed and we each grab our stuff. We both start eating and tell each other jokes. After we're done we decide to go to the arcade. I haven't even told Lee about my car yet so it'll be a surprise when we get outside. We bring our plates down and we go out. When we get outside I take my keys out of my purse and I get into my car. Lee must have thought I was joking or something cause he came and knocked on my window.

Me: "get in?"
Lee: "who's car is this?"
Me: "uh, mine."
Lee: "no way."
Me: "yep, my dad got me a car."
Lee: "well we are for sure using your car today."
Me: "hehe."

Lee gets into the passenger seat and plugs his phone to the Aux. He turns on the playlist he made a couple of months ago with all of our favourite songs. We jam to some music like usual on the way to the arcade. When we get there we go straight to the dance floor. We put our money together for the game and we start dancing.

About 1hr later we're finishing up our dance when I hear my phone go off so I check it. It's a text from Noah.

<texting with Noah>

Noah- just landed😘
Me- call me when you're at your condo 😘🤪
Noah- k😘😘😘😘

I put my phone down but the dance is finished and it's the next little girls turn. There hasn't been anyone waiting so we've been just playing over and over again. I grab my bag and walk outside while Lee had to go to the bathroom. I jump into my car and turn the air on. After a while Lee finally comes out and hops into my car.

Me: "finally."
Lee: "sorry."
Me: "what were you doing."
Lee: "can you drive me to Rachel's."
Me: "k."

I drive Lee to Rachel's and he quickly goes inside. I wonder why he seemed so stressed. Whatever! I drive home but first I stop at the Flynn's. I walk inside to see June doing the dishes.

Me: "Lee's at Rachel's."
June: "oh dear you're here, your father would like you home."
Me: "um, ok."
June: "thanks for telling me Lee's at Rachel's."
Me: "no problem, bye."
June: "bye."

I go outside to my car and drive home. As I'm driving I'm pretty sure I went a little to fast cause I kind of got pulled over. I was at the corner of the road and the cops pulled me over. The officer comes to my window and asks for my licence. I hand it over to him and he goes to his car to check it. He comes back and hands it back to me. He gives me a warning but he gives me a paper. I check what it says and it's his fucking number. I throw it out my window and he drives up beside me.

Officer: "you may need that."
Me: "I have a boyfriend."
Officer: "meh, I'm better."
Me: "not at all."

I drive off to my house and pull into the drive way. Brad comes running into my arms as soon as I get out of my car.

Me: "what wrong?"
Brad: "dad."
Me: "wait, what happened?"
Brad: "he has a girlfriend."
Me: "WHAT?!"
Brad: "I don't know."
Me: "let's go."

I grab Brads hand and we go inside. My dad and this lady that maybe 2 years younger that my father are talking. This can't be happening. I remember before my mom passed away he promised her that she will be his one and only. And now he has a girlfriend.

Brad: "dad."

My dad looks back and see me with tears in my eyes holding Brads hand.

Dad: "meet Elenor."
Me: "um, who is she?"
Dad: "sweetie, she's my girlfriend."
Me: "no."
Dad: "I'm aloud to move on."
Me: "you promised mom you'd never date anyone else. You told her she was your one and only."
Dad: "it's just I need to move on."
Me: "NO! I'm not supporting this at all."
Dad: "sweetie."
Me: "SHUT UP!"

I run upstairs and slam my door. I really don't want this to happen. I fall asleep before I know it even though it's only 3:00pm. I want my life to be over. I dream of a beautiful day no bad things happened.
