The Flynn's insisted on taking us all out to dinner the next day they would not let up saying that for what I endured for their son Lee they owed more than just a dinner. Since my room was still pretty much a mess and I didn't want to sleep in it, my dad lets me go and stay at Lee's house. As I was packing a bag, Lee walked in and said "I knew there was more to what was going on, you shouldn't have done it Elle but thank you" "you think I could live without you, what would your family do. I did what I thought I had to." I continued packing my bag. I could hear Lee going through my drawers to help typical Lee. I realize Lee is very quiet and before I can turn around, I hear "hey you guys ready wait what's wrong Lee" before I could stop him Lee hands Noah the note. Lee has tears streaming down his face "really Shelly what exactly were you planning on doing" "nothing don't worry about it I don't need it" Noah walks over to me and grabs my face gently in his "please tell me you were not serious" I can't look at him the pain in his eyes was unbearable. "Shelly please I can't lose you. It was torcher for me all this time."
I slowly walk away, and when I turn around, Lee and Noah look at me with tears in their eyes. Taking a deep breath with tears sliding down my cheeks I say "I am so sorry, I didn't mind the physical pain so much or being forced to pretend I loved him and to kiss him. Kissing him was bad enough, but when he found out dad was going out of town and he planned on having s*x that weekend I couldn't. " I walk up to Noah and grab his hands in mine. "I love you. I always wanted to be able to say you were the only man I had ever been with I had to keep that part of my life sacred to you Noah. I couldn't give that to him I wouldn't. That is why when I realized Tuppen was still keeping an eye on me from afar I left my window opened hoping he would come and we could figure a way out. Unfortunately, he saw everything and thought I had given myself to Tuppen, especially when he saw me standing in the window with nothing but my robe and panties on since it was opened. You both know what happened next. I planned on burning that note, so no one ever had to see it. It was meant as a last resort. Please understand," I look at both of them, and they have tears streaming down their faces, and they instantly pull me into a hug. Noah looks at me, "so I can get rid of this." "yes, why do I need it now I have you and me my best friend back."
Later that night, I was lying across Lee's bed, and he told me he couldn't believe how much I went through just to protect him. He told me that he didn't know if we could fix my reputation at school after this I just smiled and told him not to worry. "why not" laughing "you haven't checked your phone, have you. " Lee is stunned "man you are blowing up Twitter." he looks at me smiling, "oh my wait, so am I but how he asks.' I tell him, "Tuppen did it. I giggle is also quite the celebrity now. " Lee just keeps reading I get up and walk out of the room, letting him enjoy his moment of fame. Right now, there is only one thing I want more. When I get to Noah's room, there is a sign on the door that says KNOCK BEFORE ENTERING SHELLY PLEASE. I giggle and knock on the door. He tells me to come in when I walk in Noah is down on one knee in a suit and tie and asks "Roschelle Evans will you marry me" I look at him and instantly say yes. I let him slip the ring on my finger and jump into his arms. He picks me up and closes the door to his room. I hear him say, "What does the future Mrs. Noah Flynn, want to do till dinner tomorrow?" I look at him and say, "will you just hold me I finally feel safe" He looks down at me and says, "Anything you want Shelly anything you want."
