The Kissing Booth: After The Break-up, Elle and Noah

Part 1

These Characters do not belong to me they belong to Beth Reekles and Netflix.

This is my first attempt at writing fan fiction.  I have wrote short stories in the past and have a few chapters of a romance I've been writing.  I have never shared much of what I have wrote, but I'm anxious to hear what people think of what I have wrote so far.  Please let me know what you think.  

I have been ignoring Noah's calls and texts since Thanksgiving.  It's less than a week until Christmas and he is still trying to get me to talk to him.  In his daily texts and voicemails (why couldn't he call or text daily when we were together) he always says he is sorry, he misses me and wants to give me the explanation I deserve.  Doesn't he know I have already talked to Amanda and I know he didn't cheat on me with her, but it doesn't change the fact that he didn't tell me about his friendship with her and that he is still hiding things from me.  He still hasn't told me what that call was about with Amanda on the day we broke up.  How can a relationship last if you can't or in this case won't share everything with the person you claim to love? I mean its one thing to hide a surprise from someone, but it is entirely different when it is causing so many problems in your relationship.  Is it worth loosing the person? It must be in our situation, because he still hasn't said anything about what he is hiding in his texts or voicemails.  Maybe if I talked to him he would tell me what it was.

I'm sitting in the game room at Lee's waiting for Lee to come back with our drinks.  He told me Noah isn't home for Christmas yet.  I hear him come back in, but my back is to the door so I don't see him.  Suddenly I hear Noah say, "Elle, talk to me.  Don't run away lets work this out, please."  I sigh and say, "I'm sorry Noah, but until you can trust me enough to talk to me and share everything with me we don't have a chance to make this work. So why try?" He says, I'm trying to give you what you want, I want to explain everything to you.  I do trust you, it's just hard for me to deal with all the emotional stuff."  I reply, "I know it's difficult for you, but I can't live with all the uncertainties and questions. I'm tired of crying over you, I'm done with all this so please leave me alone."  I run out of the room and up to Lee's bedroom. 

Lee is sitting on his bed like he is waiting for me.  He sees I'm upset. He asks, "did you argue?"  I look at Lee and say calmly, "you set me up to talk to him? You knew he was already home, but you invited me over to hang out.  You planned to leave me alone so he could corner me.  How could you do that to me, Lee?"  Lee looks at me and then down at his hands. "I'm sorry, Elle.  It's just I see how miserable you both are and I know you are still in love with each other.  I thought if I got you two alone you might talk all this out and be happy again.  I love you, Elle and I love my brother, I hate seeing you both in so much pain."

I forgive Lee in that moment. I know we had put him in the middle of this and I know he would do anything for me and his brother.  So instead of yelling at him I sit down and put my head on his shoulder and say, "Lee, just leave it alone.  It's just going to take time for both of us to heal, but please promise me you won't try to set me up like this again.  It is just prolonging it and dragging it out."  Lee promised and we hugged.

After Christmas the calls and texts slowed down. It seemed the only time he called or sent a text was when he was drinking now.  In the last voicemail I got said he still misses me and that he is still in love with me.  He said I am the love of his life and he will never stop trying to prove how much he loves me.  I know I can block his number, but I'm sick.  I love hearing his voice and hearing him say these things.  I know this is making it harder to get over him, but I just can't bring myself to do it.
