Keeper of my Heart Chapter Fourteen
Noel doesn't stop running until she reaches the cottage, breaking through the door and marching straight back to her room. As soon as the door is closed, she stands in the middle of the room and takes a massive breath, as if trying to suck back all the tears gathering in her eyes.She tries to reason with the two opposing sides quarrelling inside her. One side wants to rationalize how Harken treated her and what he said to her, trying to find justification for his hurtful and overbearing actions since this morning, but the other side of her is arguing that there is none.He went overboard went he called her easy. She could ignore the way he was acting before because she could justify it by thinking he is just looking out for her.But all her and Priscilla were doing was standing there, splashing water at each other. If anything, she was worried guys might think they're childish. It wasn't like they were trying to act all cute and sexy while splashing each other like a Bay Watch movie,
Keeper of my Heart Chapter Fifteen
Noel awakes the next morning with a headache like no other, experiencing her first hang over ever and not liking it in the least.Why the hell do people drink if this is what they feel like after? Is it because I'm a light weight?Thinking back to the events of last night, everything after arriving at the bonfire is a complete haze. She remembers seeing Harken and the blonde, getting upset and wandering to sit down at the fire then...she met someone."What was it? Kyle?" she tries to remember, only briefly grasping his name but not much of their conversation. Looking around at herself and the bed, it doesn't seem anything bad happened, but she notices it looks like the covers were tossed off next to her.Putting her hand on the sheets, she is confused to feel that they're still warm, as if there was someone next to her the entire night and they left just recently.Someone slept here, but I'm still completely clothed? She stops and sniffs her hair a little."Oh god, what is that smell
Keeper of my Heart Chapter Sixteen
Harken is already at the party by the time Noel and Priscilla make their way over, having to follow Nolan and Karl as they walk back and forth to guide people through the dense forest covering the entire private area. He seems to have found a group of slightly older-looking guys and is deep in conversation with them about something Noel can’t quite hear. Deciding not to bother him, she wanders towards the food table and starts loading up a plate, not having much since breakfast this morning and the few pastries earlier. She looks around to see if she can spot Kyle, but he doesn’t seem to be here yet or attending at all. She does notice one guy eyeing her from the corner of her eye but doesn’t get the greatest feeling and decides to ignore him, grabbing a bun to finish off her plate and turning away to find Priscilla. She is sitting with Karl and Nolan on the deck, a few other strange girls sitting around them. Sitting down next to Priscilla, Nolan notices and looks over at her with

I am an amateur, this is a YA romance and I have tried my best, you have been warned, I apologize if it's cheesy/cliche xD ~*~ After the air is cleared between Noel and Harken, everything finally out in the open and so many questions from before finally answered, Noel feels like a huge weight has been lifted off her chest and is replaced with fuzzy warmth being in Harken’s arms. “I’m going to have to leave soon. No doubt the cops are going to figure out I was involved pretty quickly,” Harken mutters, resting his cheek against the top of her head. Noel quickly shakes her head. “No worries, Priscilla’s handling it.” “That doesn’t make me feel any better,” he frowns. Noel giggles. “You forget who her dad is, she is a pro at scheming her way
Keeper of my Heart Chapter Eighteen
“What about something like this?” Priscilla calls out among the racks of clothes. She pulls out a skirt and holds it over the aisles for Noel to see a few rows down.“Have you ever seen me wear a skirt?” she asks, wrinkling her nose.Priscilla groans and shoves it back on the rack. They’ve spent the better parts of the morning looking for a birthday outfit for Noel to wear, despite not even knowing if she plans to do anything for it today.Her dad has been an active presence at home ever since she got back from her trip, making it impossible for her and Harken to get a moment alone. She has stayed up until all hours of the morning the past couple days just so she can see Harken, climbing up to the roof from her bedroom window and spending hours cuddles up together for warmth, talking about whatever comes to mind, or mostly making up for lost time.Being intimate in general in the house is off limits, with Noel never allowed to lock her door at night and her father having the eyes and

(also, because I suck at writing these scenes D:)~*~Once the sun has risen higher in the sky, Noel starts to feel the exhaustion getting to her again, taking a look around at the leftover mess of their night.“How are you going to clean this up now?” she asks.Harken doesn’t answer her, his eyes glued to his phone screen.“Harken?” she calls but he doesn’t seem to hear her. “Hey, you okay?” she tries again, nudging him slightly.“Huh, what?” He shakes his head and blinks a few times. “Sorry, must have zoned out. What did you say, Little Red?” He quickly tucks his phone away in his pocket.Noel frowns, wondering if she should bother asking.“I just asked if you were okay. Was it a bad message?”He shakes his head. “I thought it was someone I used to know, but it was a wrong number, nothing bad. We s
Keeper of my Heart Chapter Twenty
“Where do you want me to start?” Harken asks, getting an odd sense of deja-vu.“What was he talking about, you guys were arrested together?”Harken nods. “Yeah, there were quite a few times we were caught together in the past, but the last time I was arrested it was thanks to him. Nate had snuck into the bar down the street, Carnegie Hall, or something like that, and had a few drinks before the manager saw him and asked for ID. When he couldn’t give any, he was kicked out and he turned sour about it, so he plotted to go back and wreck the place afterwards. He told me we were just going to smash a few bottles of alcohol and maybe take one or two.”He pauses and takes a sip of his drink, switching the harsh scotch for the smoother taste of beer. “Well, we weren’t the only ones there when we broke into the place. Turns out the owner of the bar had some troubles of his own, and there were a bunch of thugs waiting for us. We had our buddy Ashton with us to keep look-out, he was the one who
