I sit by Daniel, watching Jonah and Tate take pictures together. When she leans over to kiss his cheek, I look away, knowing the action wasn't meant to be friendly. The photographer instructs Jonah to kiss Tate, giving a bunch of reasons at once.

I stand up immediately, not wanting to watch my boyfriend kiss another girl. "Are you okay?" Daniel looks up at me, I nod, letting out a fake smile. "Just... going to get fresh air"

"Okay, come back soon. We're almost done here" I don't bother with a response and make my way outside instead. Shutting the door behind me, I sit on the floor and pull up the hood of the hoodie I'm wearing, Jonah's hoodie.

I look up at the sky as the sun starts to set. The door behind me opens and the person sits beside me, letting out a sigh when I recognize the scent. There are no words exchanged between us for a while, even when he reaches for my hand.

He drops a small kiss on my palm, knowing there's nothing he could say. Jonah pulls me closer to him and I rest my head on his shoulder, he intertwines our fingers and rests his forehead against mine.

Jo and I have been dating for the past 6 months but nobody knows about us. We didn't even tell the boys, Jonah wasn't dating Tate when we started seeing each other. Management put them together to give exposure to both of their careers. Tate likes Jonah, though she's fully aware that they're only together to bring attention to their careers but considering Jo and I are a secret, she doesn't know Jonah has a girlfriend and happens to pull moves on him in front of me all the time.

"I'm in love with you okay?" Jonah voices quietly. I feel all the walls I put up because I was hurt fall. He turns to look at me, cupping my face in his hands. "Tate or anyone else won't change that" he tells me making sure to look me in the eye.

My eyes flutter shut as he leans to press a gentle kiss to my lips. "The love of my life" he mumbles in between kisses. Jonah pulls away, looking into my eyes before a kissing my forehead.

"I love you too, Jo. I'm sorry I get this way, it's just-" he presses a finger to my lips, shushing me, "what did I say about that? Stop apologizing for the way you feel, it's only fair you feel like that when you see me with another woman that's not my mother or my sisters. I can't imagine what I'd feel if roles were reversed and I was in your place."

He cups my cheeks, staring into my eyes "so, don't apologize, it's okay, got it love?"

I nod, "okay" my words coming out all mushed up. Jonah giggles "you're so cute." He then leans in to kiss me but before we can lose ourselves in the feeling of one another, we hear laughter getting closer so we split apart and almost immediately the door opens and the boys with Tate step out.

"Hey guys, everything okay?" Corbyn asks, his eyes flickering between both of us. Jonah stands up, flashing him a smile "yeah, I was just going to take y/n home. She's not feeling too good."

"But, you were supposed to take me home..." Tate pouts, I roll my eyes discreetly. Jonah falters, glancing at me so I decide to step in, "it's fine Jo, I'll just ride with the rest of the boys."

"Yeah, we'll drop you off" Corbyn spins the keys with his thumb. I smile at Jonah reassuringly. Jonah sighs, disappointed and gives a smile that doesn't reach his eyes "okay, see you guys later. C'mon Tate."

The doorbell rings repeatedly, my eyes flicker to the clock, it's 10pm. I stand up cautiously, walking over to the door. In a situation like this, if I was still living with my mum, she wouldn't let me open the door, saying that whoever is there can call first. She was very against opening the doors this late.
