Elle pov:
It's been 3 days since Noah left for Harvard. 3 days and it already Feels like a lifetime. I miss him already and I know everyone can see it. Texting just hasnt been the same.
We have been texting every day, in between his freshers classes and parties. He's having the time of his life and I'm stuck at home. Don't get me wrong, I love my family and my best friend Lee. But seeing Lee with his girlfriend Rachel, it makes me a little jealous that I can't be with Noah...
"Earth to Elle, you in there" Lee shouts, waving his hand over my face.
"What planet were you on, I've been talking to you for the past 5 mins. Did you hear anything I said?" Lee looks at me with a stupid smirk on his face.
He damn well knew I hadn't heard a single word. He could have said the world was ending and I wouldn't even care. Too wrapped up in my thoughts about Noah.
"Sorry, what were you going on about" I spoke.
"You need to stop thinking about my bro and have a good time. It's senior yeah darling and we are going to have the time of our lives. Noah will be here next year when you get into Harvard. We all know you will and if he can't wait for you then he's the idiot. Am I right or am I right". He said putting his arm around my neck pulling me down onto the grass in the flynn's backyard.
I laughed, Lee always knew what to say. He's my best friend after all. I'm just glad he's okay with me and his brother being together. I don't know what I would do if he wasn't okay with it.
Laying on the grass, we talked more about senior year.
"Are you going to the Omg's start of year party this Friday?, I hear mia's holding it at her parents place this year." Lee smirked.
"Damn right were going Lee, it's suppose to be the party of the year, I'm not gonna miss it."
"I think we should go shopping for a new outfit, bring Rachel too" Lee asked.
Smiling, I nodded my head. " It's a date, I'll pick you and Rachel up tomorrow morning".
We laid there on the grass for a while longer,talking about things I knew I'd never be able to comfortably tell Noah about yet. We talked about our first day of Senior Year and what we would wear,and wether we would do the kissing booth for the carnival this year. It wouldn't be the same as the previous year,but we were going to have fun and enjoy every last minute of it before we go our separate ways next year. My heart set on Harvard and Lee's set on any college which would have him. I know he could get in anywhere he wanted. If Noah could do it, so could Lee.
Giving Lee a hug and saying, I'd see him tomorrow. I grabbed my bag and got in my car to drive home. Checking my mirrors I could see Lee's mum waving at the window. I waved back before heading of the flynn's drive, going home to see my dad and brother before going to bed.
The next morning I picked Lee and Rachel up at 10 and we headed into town. I knew I wanted to get a new dress for the party, something sexy but not to revealing. Rachel and I tried on multiple dresses until I found a red fit and flare dress with lace around the shoulders/sleeves.
I knew it was a little over the top for a party, but I fell in love with it. I couldn't wait to send Noah a pic, I knew he would love it. Talking about Noah, my phone beeped telling me I'd received a text.
"Morning beautiful, how is your day going. I miss you". Text Noah.
"Miss you too, I'm just shopping with Lee and Rachel for the start of year party, wish you were here too, this party isn't going to be the same." I sent back.
"You'll look beautiful in anything you wear, you'll have loads of fun, just don't go skinny dipping without me." Noah sent back. I burst out laughing remembering the flynn's start of year party last year. Lee gave me a weird but knowing look, shaking his head.
"Can't make any promises ?, I'll send you a pic of my dress later. I better go, I love you xxx ". I text back.
"I can't wait, I have to get to a class anyway, I love you too xxx".
Smiling I turned back to see Rachel in a black skater dress with a lace neckline. It looked perfect on her.
"Everyone's going to be jealous of you flynn, having the best dressed girl on your arm, Rachel you look stunning, you have to have it."
Smiling " As long as you get the red one, Noah would be drooling if he could see you now" Rachel smiled.
"Okay that's enough talking about my brother, there's something's I just don't wanna hear"
I looked at Rachel and we both burst out laughing. Lee shaking his head. We headed to the register to buy the dresses, while Lee picked up this red floral shirt. Rachel and I giving each other a look of "He can't be serious". But this is Lee and definatly needed more fashion sense or a women's touch as they say.
After buying the dresses and the awful shirt, which I'll be having words with Lee about later. We headed out for a quick bite to eat.
While Lee and Rachel grabbed our burger and chips to take back to the flynn' s, I sat in the car. Watching the people walking by, the friends and the couples holding hands. Remembering when I and Noah would walk along the beach, hand in hand, running around being silly or just laying down watching the stars.
It was nice to watch others being happy, but I couldn't stop feeling like something wasn't quite right. But I just couldn't put my finger on it...
