~I saw that you were perfect so I loved you. Then I saw that you're imperfect and I loved you even more.~//Chapter Thirty\\Noel's POVI woke up the because the Sun's ray of light was reflecting directly on my face. That's unusual, the room window is facing dusk and not dawn, I don't usually get direct rays. When my eyes were fully open, I noticed that I was not in my room. I almost start panicking before I remember that I slept off at Jesse's yesterday.Speaking of Jesse, where is he? I look around and I finally see him curled up on the floor a pillow under his head. He looked so different than the normal Jesse, calm and with delicate features– innocent. The Jesse I'm used to is anything but innocent, unless his being playful and teasing he usually wears a crease on his forehead, he's always on alert ready to knock out someone's teeth anytime anywhere.But getting to know him, talking to him and with him, seeing him lying here now, I know that there's more to Jesse Donovan than me
~One word frees us from the pain and weight of life; that word is Love.~//Chapter Thirty-One\\Noel's POVI wake up this time to the sound of my phone ringing. Peeking an eye open I see that the time's just 8am. 8am on a Saturday morning is early, really early. I ignore it but it starts ringing again the second it ends. Groaning I pick it up without checking the caller ID."What?!""Good morning to you too," Aaron says from the other line amusement evident in his voice.I sit up rubbing my forehead, "Altamira why are you calling me by this time?"He chuckled, "Altamira? Since when?""Since now, this better be important. I was sleeping!""Aw I'm so sorry. Where you dreaming?"I stayed silent thinking about it, "I don't know, I can't remember.""Well I dreamt and I remember my dream."He's got my attention now, "really? What did you dream about?""Hmm do you wanna know? Do you really want to know?" He asked as if his singing the spice girl song.Tell me what you wantWhat you really
~I wish I could turn back the clock. I find you sooner and love you longer.~//Chapter Thirty-Two\\Noel's POVThe weather was getting worst everyday. But I love Winter so is that a good thing or bad thing? Anyway in school today all the cafeteria windows are locked and you could practically here the wind outside. It wasn't snowing yet but I know it would soon."Gosh I hate winter," Nadine mumbled rubbing her hands together. Today she wore a beanie!.Peyton and I gasped, "how can you say that?" Peyton asked smacking Nadine."Ok ok maybe not winter, just this wind. I'm getting wrinkles in my fingers, wrinkles!" She shouted showing the table her fingers.We all chuckled as but my eyes kept darting to the door, "I can't believe they allow students to be outside in this weather. Its not healthy." I complained sipping off my coffee.Nadine nudged me wiggling her brows, "Are you worried about Aaron Lee?""No, Jesse's out there too." I say, Jesse and his father had another fight today, it
//Chapter Thirty-Three\\Noel's POV"And then he was like you lawn mowers mowing my lawn without my permission make sure when you're done my lawn still remains the same way you met it cox I know I didn't freaking employ you. There's a particular way I like my lawn if it ain't like that I usually kill people!" I say trying to imitate a deep voice while also trying not to laugh and also trying to keep steady on a treadmill. Woah I'm trying a lot of things."I hate that. People doing stuff without being asked and expecting you to pay them afterward." Jesse said checking the numbers on the treadmill and increasing it a little.I threw him a glare but I was not capable of being angry with the story I was telling still going through my mind. Its one of the hilarious moments my father pulled with neighbors around. "Yea my dad hated it too and the way he spoke to the boys doing the 'compulsory mowing service' it scared them and they immediately gathered the machines and scrambled out of our l
~When love is not madness, its not love.~//Chapter Thirty-four\\Noel's POVA hand was draped on me, holding me close. I tried to free myself but it was of use the person wasn't letting go at all. My eyes popped open in alarm and I saw that I was lying down on a really wide bed with gray sheets. Not my bed. In panic I gently craned my neck behind to get a better view of my captor spooning behind me. I visibly and mentally relaxed at the face.Aaron Lee, shirtless behind me. I lay back down and moved closer to his embrace, loving his scent that was everywhere. I tried to ignore the fact that he was shirtless, tried to ignore the warmth and the urge to run my fingers over his Latino tanned skin. I envy him, his body is so perfect and tanned beautifully. I on the other hand I'm as white as paste and incapable of tanning. I don't burn in heat and I don't tan. I'm just there.Wait a minute, if this is not my room and Aaron is here then where I'm I? I tried to remember the events of yest
Noel's POV"We're taking a plane?""Yup, do you want to walk there?""No, just I didn't think we'll need a plane to go to Virginia." I said plopping down on my bed and crossing my legs."The fancier the better." Aaron replied throwing clothes out of my wardrobe."I don't think my mum and I have the fee for a plane ride. Let's just go road trip, its fancy too." I said before laughing as Jesse showed me his score in the subway surf he was playing. "37, 000? pathetic, let me screw you over.""You don't have to pay, the rides on me." Aaron popping his head out of my wardrobe."You have the money to pay for both our rides? I can't afford even third class. I still vote road trip." I said my eyes trained on Surfer Frizzy as she jumped trains and stayed ahead of the fatty man. Well She is me."AL can afford our whole class plane ride on first class. Don't sweat it." Jesse answered."Really your parents won't mind?" I asked looking up at Aaron for a second."They won't but I'm not paying for a
~If you live to be a hundred, I want to live to be a hundred minus one day so I'll never have to live a day without you ~//Chapter Thirty-Six\\Noel's POVHave you been in a situation where you see something you want to buy so badly, you go against everybody's advice and you buy it then when you're taking the merchandise home you start regretting because the hole it just left in your purse is too big to ignore?As for me I've never been in that situation because money was never a problem, when money became scarce in my family, I always listened to people a lot but I can't say the same for my mother. Infact right now, Grace Atkins is living the talk."Do you think its too big, we probably take it back. It looks so big." Mum complained in the car looking left and right.I was tired of talking so I just tried to subtly cuddle into my boyfriend who was sitting in the back seat with me. Peyton however was struggling to keep up with my mum. She kept trying to turn on the radio maybe the
~Love is so short, forgetting is so long.~//Chapter Thirty-Seven\\Noel's POV"Ooo!" Jesse and I said together as Roman Reign delivered a very nice and accurate punch to Sheamus."Oh my...Rollins get up!" I shouted at the screen as if Seth Rollins would miraculous hear me."He doesn't have to Dean would not let us lose," Jesse said his hands still over Peyton's eyes as she sat on the floor underneath him. "Oo!" We shouted again at another good hit.I was so excited about this match mainly because my favorites, Roman Reign, Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose were united back as the shield. Jesse was excited too, we loved the same wrestlers. Peyton however did not just understand anything about wrestling and didn't find it exciting at all. Infact the sight of them punching each other made her want to puke. Violence nauseated her. Can you imagine? I think Violence is one of the main keys to survival, I mean if peaceful talk doesn't work out what do you do? Walk away? No way you use the fis
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
