After The Kissing Booth

Tell The Truth

"I'm going to talk to Rachel." I tell Noah.
"Elle." Noah says stoping me.
"Noah. She fucking tried to hit on you, Lee needs to know this and Rachel needs to know not to mess with me." I say.
"You do it girl." Noah says smirking.

I smile at Noah and make my way over to Lee's room, where Rachel is. I let Rachel and Lee love each other for three days but now I'm just done with Rachel.

I knock on the door and open it when Lee says come in.

"Oh hey Elle." Lee says smiling.
"Um, Elle, maybe whatever you have to tell Lee can wait a couple hours." Rachel says looking over to me.
"Rachel, I'm not going to let this wait." I say taking a deep breath.
"Wh-"
"You fucking bitch." I say with a straight face.
"Elle what the heck!" Lee states.
"You fucking bitch, you fucking bitch. Why the fuck did you think you can pull that off. Well guess what, you couldn't." I say gulping.
"What is going on here?" Lee says confused.
"You wanna know what's going on? Your girlfriend was trying to cheat on you." I say with small angry eyes.
"What? Rachel is that true?" Lee says looking over to Rachel with is cuddled into him.
"No. Elle is just trying to get us broken up because she's a jealous bitch." Rachel lies.
"Elle? Why?"
"You're going to believe Rachel? Fuck Lee this is like the third time. Why! Why is it always Rachel." I say slamming the door behind me .

I stomp back to the room. This time I'm not crying, I'm angry. I'm angry at how Lee always believes Rachel. Rachel. The girl he's only been dating for not even a year. But he can't believe me. The girl he's been best friends with since he was born.

"What happened?" Noah says when I stomp into the room.
"He believed Rachel. Again." I say lying against the wall.
"Then why don't we show him proof?" Noah suggests.
"How?" I say looking over to him.
"I didn't record her asking me. But what if I lie and like ask her out of something. Then we show Lee the truth." Noah says with big questioning eyes.
"I mean." I think about it.
"Yes!" I say with a happy look.
"Okay. I'll go ask Rachel to talk and have my phone recording in my pocket." Noah say getting up.

I stay in the room on my phone and Noah goes to talk to Rachel.

Noah comes back with a smile on his face. "And here's your proof."
"Thank you, thank you, thank youuuu!" I say kissing him.
"What? But do you have a date with Rachel now?"
"Yeah, I guess. But I mean it is on the day before New Years Eve, and well, I already have plans with someone." Noah winks.
"Oh yeah. I wonder who?" I say biting my lip and smiling.

I get up and bring Noah's phone to Lee room.

"Okay here. Now watch the video, or should I say listen to it. Then bring it back to Noah's room when you're done with it." I say handing Lee the phone as soon as he opens the door.

I'm sitting wrapped in Noah's arms when finally, after like fifteen minutes weirdly, Lee knocks on the door.

"Come in."
"Elle." Lee says dropping Noah's phone on the bed.
"Mhm."
"Can I talk to you." Lee says gulping.
"Sure." I say getting up to talk to Lee.

I walk out of the room with Lee and I stop at the door to talk.

"Elle I'm sorr-"
"Lee. This is the third time. The third time Lee. I don't know if I can do this again. Lee it's always Rachel who does this to us. And it hurts okay, it hurts knowing that every time something happens with Rachel and me. Rachel is always the one that's right. It's never me Lee." I say in almost tears.
"Well it won't happen again. Because I'm pretty sure me and Rachel are over." Lee says biting his lip.
"I want to be sorry for you Lee but I don't know if I can." I say shaking my head.
"And I mean, Elle I can't be mad at you for that. This is all my fault and Elle I just need you to forgive me please. Elle you're almost all I have left." Lee begs.
"You're lucky you've been my best friend for 17 years." I say cracking a smile.

Later that night I'm sleeping in Noah's arms. My favourite thing.
