The Kissing Booth: Noah's Return.

Chapter 14: Valentine Turned Into A Nightmare...

*recap*
It's been almost half an hour since Noah went out, I'm beginning to feel uneasy. Like what if something is wrong or... Or..... Or..... I'm really trying to convince myself that nothing have happened. But I need to check up now, for my own sake. So I went around the cabin, without luck so I went out to the garden. There was Noah laying unconscious under a metal plate, I ran over to him, calling his name without any luck so I went calling 911.

*Elle's POV*

When we got to the hospital, the doctors and nurses stood ready for him. They took him into surgery right away, but I got told to stay behind and go wait in the waiting room. I couldn't believe how what seemed to be the best Valentines day turned into this horrible nightmare. I sat in my own thoughts and didn't realize Faye and Sean sat right next to me. Faye gave me the biggest hug, she could probably feel that I needed it more than I would like to admit. I decided that I needed my best friend, so I called Lee, to tell him what had happened. I went out of the waiting room so I could talk to him in private.

*start of the call*

L= Lee
E= Elle

L: hello.

E: hey........

L: Elle, what's wrong, what have Noah done now?

E: he haven't done anything. Lee, Noah is in the hospital. *sob**sob*

L: what do you mean he's in the hospital?

E: he had planned taking me on a romantic trip to our winter cabin a little outside of Boston. When we got there, he left me in one of the rooms, to get the surprise ready. After half an hour, I got worried and went looking for him. I found him outside in the garden laying unconscious under a metal plate. So I called 911, and now he's in surgery. *sob* and it's all my fault.... *sob**sob*

L:hey, it's not your fault Elle, I'm booking the first flight to Boston hopefully I'm there in the morning or early afternoon. Is there anyone there for you right now?

E: yeah, two of Noah's college friends are here, just get here as fast as you can. I need you...

L: I will, see you soon.

*end of the phone call*

I went in to the arms of Sean, who stood up arms right open. I know he's gonna have my back through this, he knows how much Noah means to me. Which means the world to me, just know that he's there. I see why Noah is so great friends with him, he's genuine not just some stuck up dude. I looked up at Sean, to see him looking down at me.

"hey, are you alright? Okay stupid question to ask." and for the first time since I found Noah laying unconscious under that plate, I smiled.

"thanks Sean, it means a lot to me that you are here." I genuinely meant it.

We sat down again, me still being in the comforting arm of Sean. It's been three hours since Noah went into surgery, and for every passing minute I loose the last hope left in me. Staring at the stupid clock in the waiting room, just waiting for any news on Noah, but still nothing. Hours passed, but still nothing.

Suddenly a nurse walked in, scanning the room. She locked eyes with me, walking in my direction. I stood up meeting her in the middle. Looking her in the eyes and said.

"any news?" she looked at me with a big pocker face, I can't see if it's bad or good, and the silence is killing me.

"Noah's stable right now, there were some complications under the surgery. He hit his head pretty hard, so we can't tell how is when waking up. All we now is that he's alive and stable." she told me, making sure I understood every single thing she told me.

" thank you so much, can I see him?" I asked really exited to see him.

"sure he's in room 243. Just down the hall 7th door on your right." I said another thanks and went straight down to Noah's room.

Getting into the room was hard, seeing Noah with different types of tubes sticking out of his body, that was scary. I couldn't believe my eyes. There was a chair right next to Noah's bed, I went and sat down, taking hold of Noah's right hand. I remember reading from books that's in coma, people can hear you, if you talk to them so I did so. I talked to Noah about everything, about how I couldn't wait for him to wake up or that Lee was coming within the next few hours or how much Valentines day didn't mean anything if just he would wake up. I just sat there for hours holding onto Noah's hand, not wanting to let go, even for a second.

The hours went by, with me sitting beside Noah, holding his hand and talking to him, hoping that he would be able to hear me. Lee went through the door without a care, I looked up at him, running into his arms, I finally broke down. He just stood there holding me tight into him. I love Lee's hugs, they are always so calming.

Me and Lee sat talking mostly about college, how Rachel wanted to stay in Cali but Lee wanted to be near the eastern side of the country. I don't really know how he's feeling about it, because for me I knew that Harvard was for me. The nurse was coming in twice an hour checking on Noah's condition, but there was still no sign of him waking up yet. I'm glad we have school vacation right now, so school isn't a problem. To be honest I was really worried about Noah, what if something like what happened to me happens to him, then I wouldn't be able to contain myself. Oh now I know how Noah felt. Hahaha.

At some point Lee left me alone with Noah, so I just sat talking to him again, praying for him to wake up.

As the days went by, and Noah's condition was still unchanged. I was loosing the very last hope of him waking up. And if he ever woke up, would he be the same Noah? The same funny, crazy, sweet, hot, handsome, charming, corky Noah he's always been. I was getting worried.

I really hope you enjoyed this chapter, I'm hopefully going to be able to update a few times as I'm officially off school now. But I have 4 weeks of training camps within the next five and a half weeks I have of vacation, so I hope in 2-4 updates within these weeks. Just don't get disappointed if it's only 1 chapter. Anyways please tell me how Noah is going to be if he ever wakes up from coma?! Other than that hope you enjoyed.
