Lost and Found Chapter 3

Noel

Noel Kahn's summer was the same as every year. Most of his time was spent at parties. IT made sense that the most popular guy in school was at every summer bash. There were other things he did though. He spent time at his family's cabin, layed out by the pool, and hung out with his usual group of friends; Sean Ackard, Alison Dilaurentis, Mona Vanderwall, Kate Randall, and his girlfriend, Jenna Marshall. He and Jenna were the school's 'it' couple and his friends were popular as well. I mean, like he'd hang out with people who weren't.

Being popular came natural to him. He was raised with luxuries. His family spoiled him, as well as his brother, rotten. He didn't mind it. Sometimes, though, he wished his parents would pay more attention to him. It seemed like they were only around when they had something new to give him. Just once did he wasn't his parents to ask him about his day over a family dinner, which rarely ever happened. Sometimes it didn't feel like they were a real family.

It was the last day of summer and the last day of freedom, so he invited his friends over to enjoy one final swim in his family's pool.

"Get a room!" Alison shouted, as she splashed Kate and Sean, who were making out in the corner of the pool. "Sean, aren't you supposed to be in V Club?"

"Seriously dude? No sex?! I swear that's all me and Jenna did this summer!" Noel exclaimed.

"Gross! We really didn't need to know that," Kate retorted. "Any way, I think it's sweet he wants to wait until marriage and I fully support him."

"Aw, thanks babe." Sean said, pecking his girlfriend on the cheek. "So Noel, where is Jenna anyway?"

"I think she and Mona are still in the house." Alison said.

"I'll go find them," Noel told his friends, hopping out of the pool.

He pushed open the screen door and walked into his house. He heard the female voices so he let his ears lead the way. He stopped when he reached the living room. He saw the two girls on the couch but was surprised when he saw Jenna in tears. He paused to listen.

"Jenna you have to tell him," Mona urged, rubbing her crying friend's arm.

"I can't! He'll hate me." Jenna replied, sobbing.

"No he won't! He loves you and deserves to know." Mona said.

Jenna sighed, "You're right."

Noel took this time to make his presence know. He cleared his throat. "Is everything okay?

The two brunettes stood up abruptly. Jenna sniffed and tried rubbing away her tears.

"I'll leave you two alone," Jenna announced before walking past Noel.

"Jenna, what's wrong?" Noel asked softly.

Jenna wouldn't look him in the eyes. "Noel, what I'm about to tell you is huge and you need to promise me you won't freak out."

Noel nodded, "What is it?"

"I'm pregnant." She whispered.

In that moment, everything froze. How could he be a father? This couldn't be happening.

"Look, I understand if you are angry and don't want anything to do with me or the baby. You can be involved as much as you want to."

Noel couldn't form words. He was shell shocked. He managed to make his way to the couch, putting his head in his hands.

"Noel, please say something," Jenna begged, sitting beside him.

He lifted his head up, facing his hysterical girlfriend. "Jenna, I promised you I am going to everything I can for you and this baby. Okay? We are going to get through this together." Tears filled both their eyes as Noel took her hand in his.

"Thank you," she whispered. Then she cupped his cheek and kissed him.

This wasn't exactly how Noel wanted to start his junior year, but he would keep his promise. Jenna was going to have his child and he would be there for both of them the entire time. They were are his family and he couldn't let them down.
