WRONG NUMBER || Noah Centineo AU (1st Book)

S E V E N T Y - F I V E | P O V

Noah:

I finished packing the last box from my closet. I sighed sitting on my bed looking at the picture of Valerie and me on my nightstand. I was tired of Fighting over the same things and she seemed so determined to make me go,  and I guess I let her get through me.

This was my dream and I was only staying for her,  but she didn't want me, I guess that after thinking for quite some time I realized I should start thinking about myself.

I am so mad at her why can't she let me show her we are made for each other,  we were doing great I was finally getting some hope to be with her again, and she blew it.

I'm glad she hasn't called and just texted me once,  if I see her again I won't be able to leave. Chad was beaming when I told him I was going,   I guess I will have to get along with him since it's the only person I'm gonna know.

And Valerie? I guess I just have to move on,  if that's even possible. I love her but I think I've been humiliated enough. I fought enough and she didn't help,  I was willing to do anything for her, and she didn't let me. I guess love it's not all it takes.

Maybe if i had been more like Chad I wouldn't be feeling like shit right now,  maybe if I was as heartless and player like he is, I wouldn't have to love and not be loved in return.

Valerie is and is going to be the only woman I'll ever want to love,  so I guess I won't ever get heart broken if I never fall in love again.

I placed the photo frame on the last box and I walked with it to my car parked outside. It was brand new since the insurance gave it to me after the accident.

I walked back inside the house and started saying goodbye to all of my roommates promising to come back and visit them Soon,  but knowing I probably wouldn't because I might not want to run into Valerie.

I got in my car and turned the engine on. I don't know how I ended up parked in front of Valerie's building,  I looked at the building and then at the road not knowing if i should go inside and say goodbye, I was so angry at her and at myself for loving her so much,  but even if I wanted to be a heartless prick and never talk to her, I wanted to see her her one last time.

I sighed and got out of my car and walked determined to her building and her dorm. I knocked several times and got no answer,  don't know if I was relieved or disappointed. I guess fate didn't want me To see her one last time

Or did it?

When I was walking out of the building both Valerie and Chris were walking towards the door with Starbucks cups on their hands. Chris smiled at me and Valerie gave me a shy wave as they approached me.

“Noah!! Valerie told me you're living” Chris said pouting and I nodded “when?” he asked and I purse my lips

“as soon as I leave here… I just wanted to say goodbye,  I guess… ” I answer simply and Valerie just stands next to Chris without saying anything. She does know how angry I am at her.

Chris didn't seem to care about the awkward vibe between Valerie and men,  because he wrapped his hands around me and hugged me

“I'm gonna miss you so much,  Noah, you were my favorite eye candy” he said ruffling his hands in my hair and I laughed,  he did know how to soften the mood.

“Valerie…” i say now turning to her and she looked up at me biting her bottom lip

“Noah….” she replied and we stared at each other for awhile,  not saying anything

“you know… if you ever get your memories back,  I… I don't mind picking where we left off… “ once again I'm losing all my pride when it comes to her. I was supposed to be pissed. I didn't even wanted her to come and say goodbye, and here I am.

She just nodded,  still biting her lip and fidgeting with her fingers “yeah,  umm you know we can still text and we can talk, emm we're not strangers, and if you're ever in town...” she offered a smile and I sighed nodding

“I'll let you know when I arrive to Boston. It will Be a very long drive though.. “ I say softening around her. She is my weakness, really

“drive safe” she walked to me and hugged me wrapping her arms tightly around my torso,  I hugged back and stroked her back, this might have been the last time I ever see her, and then I will be the poor ex boyfriend that got forgotten. I really had lost hope about her getting her memories ever. It's been over a month and she hasn't make any progress. I guess I'm going to have to bear with the fact that we never even got to end whatever beautiful relationship we had.

We pulled away and I gave them both a soft smile,  they waved and I started walking back to my car. I hated leaving her, but do I really have a choice? She doesn't even want me, she said she wouldn't be with me if I stayed, I guess I had to just do one thing for myself.

I was just a couple of steps away from them and I sighed shaking my head “ugh,  fuck it, one last time” I murmured to myself and turned around on my heel and walked back to Valerie,  she looked confused and I held her face in my hands, crashing my lips on hers.

It took her a couple of seconds before she started kissing back and wrapping her arms around me.

Our lips moved together for awhile and our tongues danced with each other's,  I held her tightly. Gosh I will miss her kisses the most, her soft lips and her soft touch. Whatever we are going through, whatever it's happening and it's going to happen, it all doesn't even matter, because when I'm Kissing her everything seems right.

I pulled away after some minutes and rested my forehead in hers,  she looked at me with a soft smile.

“one for the go, and if you visit, you'll have plenty” she whispered and I chuckled,  I kissed her forehead and looked in her eyes while still holding her face in my hands

“take care Valerie,  I love you so fucking much,  you know that?” at this point I didn't even care to scare her away or whatever,  I loved her and I needed to remind her. She nodded and bit her lip

“I know… and I'm sorry to not return it when it was what you wanted most” she sighed and I shook my head and pecked her lips

“it was not your fault, it's okay” I say stroking her hair and she nodded softly biting her lip. I gave her a soft smile,  I really didn't want to Leave and I wanted to stay making out with her all day, but I had made a decision and she wanted me to do it too. I really just had to move on and let go.

I pulled away from. Her embrace and I waved one last time at them,  I walked to the car and got in with a heavy sigh and drove off.

Here we go. Time for a change

THE END

______________

Okay let's not hyperventilate, it is the final chapter but there's still the Epilogue left and then we can look forward to the sequel premiere.

Sorry if it's was a crappy ending. I know how much all of you wanted to have Valerie get her memories back, but life's not perfect, huh?

Let's get to those 30 votes so I can post the Epilogue
