After The Kissing Booth

Sorry, Sorry, Sorry

"Elle please just talk to me." Lee begs.
"I don't want to." I say crying against the bathroom door.
"Please Elle." Lee says like it's his last breath.

I slowly move away from the door unlock it. I sit with my legs in a bunch against the bathtub as Lee opens the door. Quickly but slowly to me.

"Do you think Noah even loves me anymore?" I ask Lee.
"Elle what even happened between you to? You guys were amazing when I last saw you too." Lee says putting his arm around me.
"He got wait listen for a football camp. And that camp is in the summer. The only time we have to get her." I say looking down at my nails.
"Well of course he still loves you Elle." He says hugging me tighter.

I just sit there staring at the sink. I get up and so does Lee.

"I'll be back, I just have to go talk to Rach." Lee says before leaving the room.

I take my hair out of the ponytail and rub the mascara off my my face.

I'm washing my hands when I hear my ring fall off my hand and before I can catch it, it's done the drain.

"No-No-NO!" I scream.

I fall onto the ground crying and screaming.

"Elle what's wrong!" Lee says rushing in.
"My-my-my promise ring-it-it feel down the-the-the drain!" I scream.
"Elle it's okay, Noah can get you ano-"
"No Lee. Okay. This ring is fucking special to me okay. I don't want another ring. I love THIS ring!" I scream at Lee.
"Elle calm down." Lee says.
"Ugh!" I yell before leaving the room and running downstairs.

I go outside and cry. I sit against the garage and cry by eyes out. I hate my life right now. I wish I could go back to our last night in NYC and change everything.

"Elle." Lee says coming outside.
"Lee can I just have time to myself." I say moving away from him.
"Fine. You always say you want to talk but then every time I try to talk to you, you get mad at me. Elle you can be a bitch sometimes. And you've been one to me a lot." Lee says rolling his eyes.

I hear a car pull into the driveway and look up to see Warren's car. Why is he here.

"What do you want Warren?" I say annoyed. Wiping the tears from my eyes.
"Lee and I have a project to work on. What's wrong with you." He says coming over to me.
"Nothing." I say getting up and leaving him.
"Hot tube at my place is always open if you want to talk." Warren winks.

I stop in my tracks and turn around to slap him. Right in the face. I take a deep breath and walk right away.

"You got your boyfriends arm." Warren yells.
"Shut up." I say before going into the house.

I go up to my room and cry. Not even wanting to be alive anymore. I think I just lost everyone who loved me. Lee's right. I am a bitch. I hate myself.

"Elle hunny." June says from outside my door.
"Lee told me what happened. Hunny please talk to me." June begs.
"Come in." I say in a quiet voice.

June comes in and sits beside me.

"Why don't you talk to Noah? Everything will be fine, even if Noah makes it to the camp he still needs to think about it." June says.
"But do you think he will forgive me? I ran away from him and haven't talked to him in five days." I ask June.
"Elle, he loves you." June reassures me.
"But I can't just talk to him over the phone." I say looking at her.

June gets up and goes downstairs. I sit there in confusion. She comes up with her phone and hands it to me.

"Check Life360 for me." She says handing me her phone.

I go onto the app and look at Noah's profile to see he's here. In LA. Not here, here. But in LA.

"What? How?" I say looking at it closer.
"I don't know if you think I was born yesterday, but I can tell when somethings wrong, so I asked Noah and he told me." June says smiling.
"Go get your man." June says handing me the keys to my car.

I run down the stairs and out the door to my car. I grab my phone and pull up Life360 to see where he is. I put my phone on my dashboard and follow what it says until I get to Target, where Noah is. I park beside his car, other known as the rental her always gets when he comes here, and wait until I see him walking out of Target.

I smile. For the first time in six days.

I get nervous and don't move when he gets into the car.

Stop it Elle. He's here. You need to talk to him. Get out of your frozen position and go see him. I tell myself. I just sit there still not moving nervous out of my mind. What if he doesn't forgive me and just tells me to get out of his car. What if that happens. Then I'll be so embarrassed. I should just call him and tell me.

After overthinking everything for two minutes Noah still hasn't left and I look to his window to see him looking at me smiling.

I get out of the car and so does Noah, I go over to him and he comes over to me. We get close like we're going to kiss but we both stop.

"I'm sorry." I say under my breath.
"I more sorry." Noah says pulling me close to him.

Noah holds me tight as I apologize at least twenty times.

"It's okay Elle." He tells me.
"I forgive you."
