Recap of Fools and Fools Fall

Sam

Oh jeez, where to begin? Well, probably where it started which was my adolescent Junior year of high school. That was where I bumped into Noah Wright. Literally. I spilled my coffee all over him, granting me an enemy on my first day. Not fun.

But then, through the common friend group- Jason, Carter, Emily, Noah, Kaitlyn, my sister Haven, and I- Noah warmed up to me... probably more than he should have given he had a girlfriend at the time (sorry Kaitlyn, that one's on me). And as our friendship grew and with stolen kisses here and there, Noah broke up with his girlfriend and started dating me in secret.

Our secret relationship lasted just over a month before his abusive dad found out. That was the first dent in our relationship.

Then Noah came out to all of his friends at his friend's lake house in Wisconsin (did I mention this all took place in Chicago minus the vacation? Well, you should already know that because, I mean, this is the third book. Come on guys, keep up... sorry, was the passive aggressive? I've just been moody lately because... well... you'll see).

Anyway, Wisconsin. That's also where I found out about Noah's trauma and I was the only person at that time whom he told.

After Wisconsin, Noah and I were out and in love and things were great. Until they weren't great. Like when I stupidly went over to Noah's house without permission and messed things up for Noah and his dad. Being the abusive father he was, Noah took a beating for loving a boy. For loving me.

Noah and I broke up and didn't speak for some time before we decided to be friends. It was painful, but it was okay. And then, Noah's father died and everything changed. Noah was free from abusive, but not so much free from his trauma.

We got back together and were back to being happy, in love fools.

I started my senior year. I met new friends- Carla and Elliot- and I became best friends with Carter.

With me finishing high school, Noah was a freshman in college at University of Illinois Chicago (UIC). Things got rocky again. Noah met new friends as well- Ciera, Dina, Kyle, Alice, and Jude.

Jude; the bane of my existence and mine and Noah's relationship.

I knew something was off with Jude and that he was trying to get with Noah. Noah said it was just my jealousy speaking.

It wasn't.

That stirred up a lot of drama. And, okay, I did keep a very major secret from Noah. I had spoken to his mother. His mother who he hasn't seen since he was twelve.

We got into a huge fight, yelling unnecessary things to each other, and welcome break up number two.

Me being heartbroken and distraught, searched for comfort. My comfort at that time? Carter Matthews. We slept together. Big mistake. And like every secret, we were found out. By Noah.

Noah and I didn't speak to each other for nine months. I lost my good friend, Elliot (I'm sure he'll tell you about it. Wink, wink) along with Carla.

But one light in the bleak darkness of my life; Ben.

Ben and I started dating five months after Noah and I broke up. We even had a sexy vacation in Punta Cana. Emphasis on Sexy. Mmm.

And when we returned. I got a letter to two colleges. One from ISU where my boyfriend Ben will be attending and UIC where Noah Wright is attending. I got into both, but chose UIC... and maybe told everyone I didn't get into ISU.

Okay, now you're caught up.

HOLY CRAP! I can't believe I forgot to mention the best part of probably everything! My cat, Dumbass Jr. (named after the nickname my ex gave me). Geez Louise, how did I not mention my precious bean? DJ is honestly my emotional support cat and I love him to death!

Anyway, so know your memory is refreshed and ready to be filled with toxic drama *cough* I mean, um... Ah hahah, well... you can just read it and find out.
