After The Kissing Booth

Goodbyes and Hellos

"I don't want you to leave." I say hugging Noah before he boards his plane.
"Trust me Elle, I don't want to either. But I'll be back soon." Noah says kissing my hand.
"I'm going to miss you." I say kissing him.
"Here." Noah says taking a sharpie out of his pocket and writing his name on my wrist with a heart around it.

I take the sharpie and do the same to his and he smiles.

"Now whenever you miss me with all your heart touch the name and it'll make you feel better."
"Awwwww." I say admiring it.
"I love you." Noah says before his plane has to be boarded.
"I love you." I kiss him. Last kiss for at least a month, maybe two by the way his schools going.

I'm sitting waiting for my plane to start boarding when they finally start.

I get up and go over to the girl and give her my boarding pass.

"Hmm." The girl says looking at the pass.
"Is everything okay?" I say worried.
"Well it seems as if this pass doesn't have a code, to get you on the plane." The girl says handing me the pass back.
"Well what do I need to do to get the code?" I say worried.
"Well sadly if you want to get this, or any flight home you'll need to get a new ticket." She says looking through her computer.
"I have one here for first class for this flight, if you have twelve hundred dollars." The girl says looking up.
"Oh, well I don't. If there any cheaper ones for another flight?" I say looking behind me at the line and getting anxiety.
"Um sadly this is the last flight for the next two days because of a snow storm that's going to hit us." The girl frowns.
"Okay. When does this flight take off?" I ask.
"You have forty five minutes." The girl says.
"Okay, thank you anyways." I say leaving the line and going back to sit down.

Why did God really have to do this to me? Like what did I do to deserve this? I sit down and start to get a lot of anxiety, what am I going to do. I don't have twelve hundred dollars in my pocket, yet my wallet.

I grab my phone and text Lee, Noah's on the plane so he doesn't have wifi so Lee's my only idea.

'Lee I need saving, like right now'
' What??? What's wrong??' Lee texts back in the span of a minute.
'Do you have 1,200 dollars?'
'What no. I literally probably don't even have a penny in my bank account'
'Why do you even need 1,200$?'
'I'm stuck in nyc'
'What? I'm calling you right now.'

I read the text a split second before my phone screen lights up with Lee calling me.

"Okay what's happening!" Lee says as I answer.
"I had a ticket home but it doesn't have the code thing and they only have a first class seat left, which is twelve hundred dollars." I cry.
"Okay, I'm going to call my mom and see if we can work things out. Can you not jus-"
"No, this is the last flight of the day and tomorrow and the day after there's a snow storm so all flights are canceled." I cut Lee off.
"Okay, call you soon, bye." Lee says hanging up.

I sit down and stare up at the ceiling in stress, when out of no where someone sits beside me.

I look over to see a guy, my age, but maybe a little older.

"I couldn't stop myself from hearing your conversation on your phone. And I have a ticket to Boston, that I don't need to go to and if you want, you can have it." The guy says.
"And I have a hotel there where you can stay until you can get to LA." The guy adds.
"Oh, thank you but that's fine. I'll figure this out by myself." I say fake smiling.
"No I insiste." The guy says.
"Well, I mean if you insiste. But I insiste to pay you back for the ticket." I say taking my wallet out.
"How much was it?" I say.
"Six hundred dollars, which I doubt you have with you." He says just a smirk.
"But I will take your number." He says smiling.
"Oh I have a boyfriend-"
"No, no, just so you can PayPal me or whatever whenever you have the money." He says cutting me off.
"And I think I was able to tell you had a boyfriend by your wrist, your phone case, your phone Lock Screen and wallet photo." He laughs.
"Oh my god that's embarrassing." I say face palming.
"Don't worry, you are pretty and beautiful, but I have a girlfriend too." He says.
"Okay well here's my number." I say giving him a piece of paper with my number.
"Okay, whenever you have the money, and the hotel-"
"I don't need the hotel,my boyfriend lives in Boston." I cut him off.
"Oh, okay, well here's the ticket, it has a code." He winks.
"Thank you so much, oh my god I think you've just made my day, my week, my month." I say smiling.
"Happy to do that, now you better board that plane, it takes off in five minutes." He says pointing to the door where everyone is boarding.

I grab my bags and go to the girl who rolls her eyes when washed sees me, which I could tell she was going to.

"So are you getting the ticket?" She says going onto her computer.
"No, I'm going to Boston instead, thank you very much." I say handing her the pass.
"Well the Boston boarding is over there." She points.
"Okay thank you." I say in a fake voice.

I get onto the plane and lay my head onto the back of the seat and take a huge breath, I'm going to see Noah, maybe God was just trying to help me after all.
