Elle pov:

Its Friday and you know what that means. Its the day of the party and there's only 3 days left of summer. I can't believe senior year starts in 3 days. Which means there's only 6 weeks until Noahs first visit home. I'm seriously counting down the days.

I'm lying on my bed, thinking about what Noah could be up to. I can't help but smile thinking of my Adonis of a boyfriend. I wish he was here. I miss him so much already. It's gonna be a long year but I know I'll get through it. Even if the long distance doesn't work. I know I'll still have the flynn' s in my life especially Lee. It would be hard, but I'd get over it eventually. But hopefully that would never happen and I would be near Noah next year when I start college.

Daydreaming about my future. Picturing myself and noah sharing a dorm room or even a flat. Smiling about the possibilities,my phone beeps letting me know I've received a text.

I grab my phone of the nightstand, hoping its from Noah. To my disappointment it's not from Noah, but an unknown number.

Opening the text I drop my phone in surprise.

"Roses are Red, Violets are Blue, While Noahs away I'll be watching you...

Who would send me a creepy text like this.

It's been a good five minutes and I'm still looking at the text. If im being honest,I'm freaking out A little inside. I quickly get up of my bed and go check outside my bedroom window which faces the front of the house. I can't see anyone around. But I pull my curtains closed, just to be safe. I sit back on the bed and grab my phone. Looking over the text again.

I decide to text back.

"Who is this?"

After 5 minutes I don't receive a reply . Siting on my bed I start to think about who it could be.

My first thought was Lee, being his usual self and pulling a prank on me. But the more I think about it, this isn't Lee's style. He can't even dress himself in something fashionable, I doubt he could come up with a prank like this.

I text Lee anyway, just to be sure "Hey Lee, have you got a new number?".

I receive a quick reply back "No, why do you ask?, Is everything Okay". He's clearly concerned.

I am too. But I decide to ignore it for now, it's got to be someone being silly and I'm just falling for it. No need to worry anyone. Texting back I tell him "It's nothing, just wondering as I received a text and thought it was you. Turns out to be a wrong number".

It's a small lie, but I'm not gonna let Lee worry about a stupid text.

We continue texting for another hour, before we decide we better get ready for mia's party. It's 7pm and the party starts at 9.

After Saying our goodbyes, I go straight to my closet and pick out my brand new red fit and flare dress with lace around the shoulders/sleeves.

I put on a little bit of red eye shadow and a thin layer of mascara to match my dress. I curl my hair a little to frame my face and I'm ready in about 30 mins. My black clutch is ready and I slip on my low black wedged heels.

Once I'm ready, I turn around in the mirror checking out every angle, just to check everything looks okay before leaving the room.

I head downstairs to find dad and my brother sitting in the kitchen working on Brads new remote control plane he got for his birthday a few weeks ago. I smile watching them,until dad looks up at me.

"Elle, you look beautiful, but please be careful...

"I know dad, Don't drink to much, Don't drive and especially be safe, but don't worry I can look after myself and I have Lee. I'll be Okay I promise" I interrupted my dad mid speech. It's not like i havent heard this speech a million times.

"I know Elle, but when Noah was here I knew you were that much safer with him around. I trust Lee, but Noah gave of that, I don't take crap from no one attitude and I knew he would especially look out for you, he was overprotective before you even started dating. Now its even worse".

I wished Noah was hear to share this with, but I've got to go on without him for a while. Besides I can look after myself. Well when I'm not being clumsy.

I know my dad means well but he worries to much. I smile and give him a big hug and tell him one more time " Everything is going to be okay" before heading out the front door to meet Lee at the top of my drive.

Smiling I give him a hug before taking a step back, to take in his appearance. I'm actually lost for words after looking him up and down. He's not wearing that ridiculous red monstrosity but a simple blue button up with black shorts and trainers. He looks decent for a change.

"Did your mum dress you tonight, because you surely didn't put that outfit together on your own". I tease.

"Wow Elle hurt my feelings much" Lee smiled at me "But no I had a little help from Rachel actually, she's gonna meet us at the party, you look lovely by the way, Noahs missing out that's for sure.".

My smile falters, Lee can see it, and pulls me into a hug. "He would be so proud of you. And you know he would be here if he could. Here let me take a photo of you in that outfit."

Lee takes out his phone and after pulling some silly faces, making me laugh takes a few photos. "Done" he smiles.

Couple minutes later my phone beeps. I look at Lee shaking my head. "You didn't" "Oh I did" he laughs back at me.

I open my phone to find a new text from Noah.

"My girl looks beautiful tonight, stay safe and have fun, I'll be seeing you sooner than you think".

Looking over the text I smile. He just knows what to say.

"I love you xxx"

"I love you too xxx" he texts back.

Smiling I turn back to look at Lee. "Thank you, I think I needed that".

"Well I prefer you with a smile on your face, you look ugly with a frown"

Smacking Lee on the arm, we both burst out laughing. "You know I'm joking" Lee smiled putting his arm around my shoulder.

"Now let's get to this party already, I need to make my entrance"...
