~There's no substitute to a great love which says 'No matter what's wrong with you, you're welcome at this table'.~//Chapter Eighteen\\ Noel's POV "I'm famished," I complained stopping my legs from moving any further. "But we just got here." Aaron said turning to look at me. "Uh," I checked my invisible wrist watch, "We've been here for 6 hours." Aaron rolled his eyes checking his gold Rolex wrist watch. Ofcourse if he doesn't have a gold Rolex wrist watch, who would?. "Nope, we've been here for just two hours." "Yes, two hours of walking non stop browsing through shops and coming out because of your fashionista picky self." I said annoyed. He frowned at me, I frowned back. It became a frowning battle and when he saw I wasn't giving up anytime soon, he relented. "Ok, 30 minutes break." My lips shaped into a broad smile, finally more food for me. I grabbed unto his hand excitedly. "Let's go, You're paying." It wasn't until we were already moving that I noticed that I was hold
~All of everything I understand, I only do because I love you.~//Chapter Nineteen\\Noel's POV.Hi love, hope you had a goodnight sleep. I woke up early and didn't want to wake you up since you look so cute while sleeping. See you in school and don't be late.PS: I ate the pie in the fridge. Hehe.I smiled reading the note that was left on my bedside. I woke up alone on the bed a bit disappointed but this makes up for it. Wait what? "He ate the last pie?!!!""Good morning Mum," I say entering the kitchen where coffee was brewing."Noel, I got a job!" My mum screamed threatening the safety of my ear drums."Really?" I asked putting my finger into my ear and shaking off the little scream effect.She nodded really hard I was scared her head would roll off. "Yesterday I got a job, I came home to celebrate with you last night but you weren't at home."I gasped surprised, "I'm sorry mum I went out. We can celebrate this night. We should celebrate! I can't believe you got the job at last!
~We are shaped and fashioned by those we love.~//Chapter Twenty\\Noel's POVNadine never seemed to surprise me, well I didn't really know the girl so I guess I'm gonna get a lot of surprises before she finally stops surprising me. To anybody who knows her like you've seen her before, talked to her a little or even seat next to her in class you'd think/get the idea that she's just a cheerful hyper nerdy girl but to people who 'know her' she somewhat different. Hyper, yes. Cheerful, yes. Nerdy, not really.That's if we're going by Merriam Webster's definition of nerdy. Nerdy; a person who behaves awkwardly around other people, usually has unstylish hair, clothes, etc.Yes, yes I just defined something from the dictionary like an actual student. Every since Aaron found out I was failing he's stuck to me like glue. Tutoring me, asking me random educational question, helping me do my assignments over the phone and pasting sticker notes all other the house before a test. Its been really
~In a room full of art, I'll still look at you.~//Chapter Twenty-one\\Noel's POVSo I entered into the class and I see students, many unfamiliar face and a few familiar ones aka Nadine and the Quinn bitch.Nadine's in front of the class saying something, her head turns to me immediately I enter. "Oh hi Noel.""Hi I'm joining you guys. Principal's orders." I say feeling a bit-- a lot out of place.I see Nadine bite down a squeal as she rushes to me, I chuckle lightly at her childish behavior. "Hello everyone, this is Noel Atkins and she is part of us now.""Ugh even the trash is joining us now," Quinn spat out glaring at me.I smiled at her, "I'm surprised you're talking since you're the only trash here among humans.""Ok," Nadine clapped her hands together ending whatever it was that would have started between Quinn and I. "We were talking about what everyone would be doing for the event.""I know what she can do, since she's such a slut she should do the kissing booth. Oh opps no
~The greatest thing you'll ever learn is to love and be loved in return.~//Chapter Twenty-two\\Noel's POV"Beast!" I exclaimed."Belle!" Aaron also exclaims and then we start to walk to each other, dramatically ofcourse. "Belle? You came back?"We both hold each other gazes trying to look as passionate as ever. Aaron's acting pretty well because his 'passionate' gaze was making my heart flutter and I was struggling so hard not to lose myself in his beautiful eyes. We're distracted as Ma-fe comes running from behind the chair, making weird sounds. I'm not sure that's in the script but whatever. She dramatically hit Aaron and Aaron over dramatically roars before falling to the ground. I try to laugh as I rush to him."You came back," he says again this time slowly and sounding like a dying person."Ofcourse I came, I couldn't let them... Oh this is all my fault. If only I had gotten here sooner," I wail looking at him with eyes filled with sadness."Maybe its better this way," Aaron
The best and most beautiful thing in the world cannot be seen or heard but must be felt with the heart.~//Chapter Twenty-three\\Noel's POVThe play room was packed. Everywhere was already filled before we reached. I separated from Aaron as soon as we got here. He had go kit up."Noel!" I turned to the sound and saw Peyton running to me, in a really long gown that she had to hold up in order for her not to trip. I chuckled as she ran to me. "You're here.""Yes I'm here and... You look good." I complimented, her hair was packed up and she had makeup on with the smoky eye thing."I'm not really acting but I'm so nervous. Nadine is no where to be found. She is usually everywhere now she's nowhere!" Peyton cried out her eyes darting everywhere."Hey hey," I placed my hand on her shoulder, "calm down its just a school play."She released a breath turning to look, "yeah a school play that's gonna crush my heart." She looked away and my eyes followed hers to see Aaron and Quinn talking. Aa
~The brain is the most outstanding organ in the body. It works 24 hours a day, 365 days a year from birth until you fall in love.~//Chapter Twenty-four\\Noel's POVSo, I'm seventeen that's no news. I've dated and I've kissed guys before, three to be exact. My first kiss was in 4th grade, some guy thought it'll be funny to give 'princess Noel' a kiss and become popular. Yuck, sloppiness first kiss ever. First kiss are supposed to be Awesome, out of this world, wonderful, magical everything fairytales and romance novels said it would be but unfortunately that didn't happen with me.The second guy I kissed was my first boyfriend in 7th grade, hmm. That's all I can say about our first kiss that I can't remember, hmm. The third guy I kissed was in sophomore year, to prove a point to Caren; that although my dad is dead and I'm mourning, I'm still the hottest girl alive. Yea that didn't go well for me, I was acting out. Got Caren to hate me more and cried myself to sleep every night for
~Love does not make the world go round, love is what makes the ride worthwhile.~//Chapter Twenty-five\\Aaron's POV"Bella!" I shouted running down the stairs with anger surging through my veins. I'm going to kill her, so help me God I'm going to kill my Barbie sister and my dad is going to put me in an indestructible chest and throw me into fire.I see her braiding Ma-fe's hair, I increase my steps taking two at a time, curse spiral stairs. She looks up and I don't know what she sees in my face, but her eyes widens and she get up from the sofa, backing away. "What?""What? What?" I jump down and start walking towards her."What is it Aaron?" She ask backing away from me in increasing steps, she might just tumble down and make my job a whole lot easy."What did you do with my phone?" I asked showing her my battery dead phone."Mummy seized mine." She whined."So? How does that explain the fact that I switched on my phone and after going through it, it died on me.""You weren't usin
Tears shed for another person isn't a sign of weakness. Its a sign of pure heart~//Break up\\Noel's POV."Go to sleep Aaron.""One more minute.""You said that," I removed the phone from my ear and checked the time, gasping in surprise, "An hour ago!""Shut up, its not 3am." I didn't say anything, I heard some shuffling from the other side and I also heard him gasp, "Wow, it is."I chuckled, "I don't know about you Aaron but I'm going to be extra bitchy tomorrow if I get no sleep.""Bitchy huh?" He said in his flirty voice."Uh uh you won't like bitchy Noel. You should be glad you've never met her," I say.He scoffed, "I like all kinds of Noel. And I've so met the bitchy you. Remember one time in Chem Class? I pulling all my Razzle-dazzle Aaron charms on you and you were like, 'leave me alone. I'm not talking to you. Move the hell out of my way'". He said, the last part being an intimidation of an annoying high pitch voice.I sat up on my bed my jaw hanging open. "I wasn't being bi
🎄|Christmas Special|🎄A/N: This is the Christmas part of this Novel, full scene in Aaron's POV. My Christmas gift to you all. In Chapter 41, I briefed through the Christmas period in Noel's POV, but now I'm giving the full 25th December event, in Aaron's POV so.....Yay. I hope you like it.[]Aaron's POVMerry Christmas babeI texted Noel at soon as the clock truck 12, I rubbed my eyes smiling. I've been waiting for my clock to show 00:00 so I'll be the first to wish my love a merry Christmas.Did you get the text?Are you even awake?Dolphin???Oh come on!Babe? Noel?I frowned at my phone glaring at it as if it's Noel herself. She was asleep that's why she's not replying my messages. How could she sleep this early? I mean tomorrow is Christmas. I've got to be the first to wish her, if she doesn't see my text, someone else might beat me to it.Jumping off my bed, I exchanged my plaid pajama pants for a black Jean and pulled on a red shirt. Grabbing my jacket, I ran my fingers throu
~When I say I love you more, I don't mean I love you more than you love me. I mean I love you more than the bad days ahead of us, I love you more than any fight we will ever have. I love you more than the distance between us, I love you more than any obstacle that could try and come between us. I love you the most.~//Epilogue\\Noel's POVOne thing I hate about airports, they are always crowded. One thing about me I hate crowded places....but I think we already know that.Flying on first class is really nice, I got to sit on my own in a really comfortable seat although I was lonely I think flying to Virginia with Aaron ruined every flying experience I would ever have. Now I'll rather fly with him seating beside me than to fly alone. Playing games helped but there's just so much company a video game can give.After going through all the hateful aspects of flying alone which includes coming down alone, getting my luggage alone and squeezing past different people of different race, t
~I realized I was thinking of you, and I began to wonder how long you'd been on my mind. Then it occurred to me: Since I met you, you've never left.~//Chapter Forty-five\\Noel's POVI've learned something, so many things actually since I came to New York. I learned how to make friends, I learned how to tolerate my mum better than I did before, I learned how to let go of certain things, I also learned how to love a really good looking, egoistic, narcissistic funny jerk. I guess I've always known how to stand up for myself, I don't like being looked down upon by anyone especially my age mate, I don't like bullying and I never let myself get bullied by anyone. I've always been that girl that would fight back knowing that I wouldn't lose much in any fight. But I learnt something new, something really important, something I know would help me in the remaining dash days, months, years of my life; not every fight is worth it. Not every fight is won and sometimes its better easier and saf
~Love is something sent from heaven to worry the hell out of you.~//Chapter Fourty-four\\Noel's POV"Tyler leave me alone, I did nothing to you.""Didn't you hear me? You cheated." He said stepping forward with his two goons."Quinn did too and you most definitely helped her. I got a bruise to show for it." I said pointing to the bruise by my eyes as I back away.Lord, where is a sledge hammer when you need one."Doesn't matter, nobody makes my girl fail." He said still advancing towards me."She's not your girl. At least not to her. She likes Aaron, that's why she hates me. I did nothing to her. She's just using you." My heart was hammering so loud, I could hear it instead of my voice.How far was Aaron? How close was anybody, if I scream now would I be heard? Mirror. Yes my mirror! That's a nice weapon that can inflict a lot of pain— to one person though I'm not sure about three."Shut the fuck up! And stop backing away, there's no way you're escaping this locker room.""What ar
~Love is a smoke and its made with fumes of sighs.~//Chapter Fourty-Three\\Noel's POV"You did what exactly?"I sighed, "I. Made. A. Deal. With. Quinn." I repeated for the fourth time in the last thirty minutes."No no no," Aaron says waving his hand like he's in a building of fire calling for someone's help. "I know what you did, but what did you do?"I look at him like he's a lunatic which he kinda is. Sighing—again— I repeated everything understanding his lunatic talk, "I made a deal with Quinn and we decided to have a swimming contest. If she loses she apologises on her knee and if I lose— which I won't— I'll leave. Back to California.""One day," Jesse says as he stops hitting his head on Aaron's cupboard, "One day we leave you in school alone and you ran off into the sunset doing stupid things!""How could you Noel?" Aaron asked squeezing the fluff out of his pillow.I got off the ground, "You guys should chill ok? And its not a stupid deal," I said turning to glare at Jesse
~Love is quivering happiness~ //Chapter Fourty-Two\\ Noel's POV The first day of school after winter break, it feels a little foreign getting out of bed early and going to school making sure not to trip on the slippery floor and seeing remains of snow everywhere. I'm sure it would snow again today, and that's just great but I'd prefer it to be snowing while I'm tucked safely under my blankets in my really warm room. I yawn by my locker before opening it to get my books in. "Are you sleepy or really hungry?" "Both." I answered before turning to face the person that's talking to me. A smile plasters my face as I hug her. "Oh Nadine you're back." "Yup, missed me?" She asked hugging me back. "Yea ofcourse, you didn't say when you were coming back." I said pulling away. "Well I returned last night and I wouldn't miss school for anything." She says. "Weirdo, I'll totally miss school without an excuse. How's your relationship with the gardener's son?" I asked. "There was no 'relat
~I hope you know that every time I tell you to get home safe, stay warm, have a good day, or sleep well what I am really saying is I love you. I love you so damn much that it is starting to steal other words' meanings. ~//Chapter Forty-One\\Noel's POVThe rest of the days went by wonderfully, Aaron and I were back together. Mum went on a winter break from work too and so far she didn't burn down our kitchen or any other part of the house. Peyton came visiting a lot, turns out she has major problems with her mom and sometimes can stand being in the same house together. I think her mom's a drug addict, I'm not really sure but Pey seems really sensitive about any topic regarding her mother so I don't ask anything. Anyway I love that we're spending so much time together. Raymond came to apologize and I accepted his apology but begged him to stay away from me in the mean time. Turns out Aaron told the Taxi man to drop him off beside a garbage dump out of town. Can you imagine?I also g
~Love is an untamed force. When we try to control it, it destroys us. When we try to imprison it, it enslaves us. When we try to understand it, it leaves us feeling lost and confused." ~//Chapter Forty\\Noel's POVI couldn't sleep, I wasn't crying I was just feeling confused and wrecked all over. My eyes were open staring into the darkness of my room. Were Aaron and I over? He would surely break up with me today as soon as the sun comes out. But I didn't do anything wrong, I didn't even kiss Raymond back, he kissed me! Without my consent. I sighed falling back on my bed relaxing my head on my headboard. The problem or little flaw of Aaron is that he always acts on his emotions. If he's angry, he's angry no matter what for that period of time he's going to be really angry even though it's uncalled for and he does the first thing that comes to his mind; punch the other person, or walk away and avoid the problem. Avoid me, without trying to be in the next persons shoes.He's going to
