Jonah's pov

I was standing on the balcony, enjoying both my cup of coffee and the view from this spot. Daniel was in the kitchen, sitting on his usual place. He was trying to reach at least one of his family members and I couldn't stop thinking about my family. Since I saw Svea, I kept thinking about her and all the things we used to do together.

How she always wanted me to read her a fairytale before she fell asleep.

How we used to play hide and seek and she always decided to hide to the same place, so I had to pretend I don't know where she was.

How we were both so scared when mom sent us to the basement for something.

And I could go on cause she was the closest one to me, out of all my siblings, which means we spent quite a lot of time together. Good old days when I was actually a part of my family.

I've never thought they would be able to do this to me. But they did. None of them cared. I can't even imagine how they could be so okay with it. The crazy thing is that I'm not even mad at them. I guess I never even was. Although I feel like I should be. Cause in the end they basically destroyed my whole life and my mind as well. I guess I can't stay mad at people for a long time, if I get mad. But like I mentioned, I have never had a heavy heart on them. I would love to see them and have them back in my life. But they decided to live without me, so it's not possible. I have to respect their decision.

While I was thinking out here, Daniel suddenly appeared next to me. We made eye contact and I put my arm around him, pulling him closer to me.

"I couldn't reach my dad or my siblings." he stated. "But I have such a strong feeling they would just confirm everything from that text message." he added and it surprised me.

"Seriously?" I asked and he nodded.

"Yeah, or...I don't know, Jonah..I'm getting anxious." he said sadly and somewhat frustrated. I caressed his arm to comfort him and he leaned his head on my shoulder. I placed a kiss on the top of his head, then leaned my head on his. "I don't know what to do now." he added quietly.

"Well if you seriously think that what your mom wrote is true..then you should tell them the real truth. Or at least about the part that includes this girl. It's better if they think you're single, than leaving them with the thought that you have a girlfriend, when you don't even like girls." I said.

"You're right. But there's the problem. Cause I don't think I should tell them all of it through the phone." he replied and I totally agree.

"I know. You need to do this in person." I said and he pulled away, looking me in the eyes with a smile on his face.

"It's amazing how understanding you are." he responded. I put my hands on his hips as he wrapped his arms around my neck.

"Of course, it's something that needs to be talked out and cleared. You can't discuss these type of things through a phone call. That's not possible." I replied.

"Yeah, I need to come clear to them. I don't know if I'm ready to say the whole truth, but I'm definitely ready to say that I've never had a girlfriend named Angi." he said and pecked my lips. I wrapped my arms tightly around his body and kissed him for a long time.

"So..the only question left is, when?" I asked after we pulled away, just enough to look into each other's eyes.

"For sure I wanna tell them before that family dinner. Just don't know when exactly." he said thinking. "Ugh I'm so busy with work that it's not gonna be that easy." he added and a quite crazy idea popped up in my head.

"No problem, I can replace you at work for a day or two." I said with a whole lot of enthusiasm. He was shocked by this random idea at first.

"Are you sure about that?" he asked smiling like I was kidding. But no. I meant it seriously.
