i promise-Jonah Marais

3 ; don't fall

Layla's pov

"Bye Taylor! I had fun!" I yell out from my window.

"I told you, you would! See ya!" she replied from the window of her mother's car.

We had just gotten back from the concert and Taylor's mom had come to get her. On the way home Taylor kept rambling about Corbyn, but if we are being honest i wasn't listening. I kept replaying my moments with Jack and Jonah in my head. I had totally forgotten about the note until after Taylor left. Thank God though she would have made it a much bigger deal then i wanted it to be. I took the note out of my pocket, changed into gym shorts and my Marais 1/5 hoodie, cleaned my face and sat on my bed with my phone deciding whether or not to read the note.

I slowly unfold the note, revealing shaky beautiful handwriting, leaving me to read ;

"(***)-***-****

Text this number with a picture of us. Don't question anything. Follow this direction and everything will turn out just fine ;)"

I shuddered at the words. I got my phone out and typed in the number, stopping every 5 seconds if this is a good idea or not. I finally thought "do it now or you lose him forever." I sent the picture of me Jonah. My breathing started to get heavier as i got worried. I got up to go get a water to calm myself, as i left i heard a ding from my bed. I ran towards my phone and belly flopped on my blankets. I opened my phone and saw these 3 messages ;

Unknown Number- Its you!

Unknown Number- You are probably really confused..

Unknown Number- Are you there?

I didn't know who this was or how to respond. I sat there for a second taking everything in as another text came in.

Unknown Number- Its Jonah.

At this point i am shaking, but i pull my hopes down.

There is no way in heaven or hell its actually Jonah.

Layla- Jonah who?

Unknown Number- Marais silly

I have a mini panic attack when another text comes in

Jonah- meet me at the grove in 20?

Layla- um okay

*REAL LIFE*

I walk around the grove for about 10 minutes before i see Jonah, i choose to let him see me.I don't want to come off as a crazy fan. I walk by him, grasping his attention.

"Hey! You're the girl from the show today!" He said with a sparkle in his eyes.

"Call me Layla." i reply with a small chuckle

"That's a beautiful name."

"C'mon don't treat me like that." I say walking away

"What do you mean?"

"I know you Jonah, You just met me but i have know you for 3 years now. This isn't you. Be you."

"You got me there." He said with a chuckle to break the awkward silence

"So before anything," i say and he looks at me. "Why did you want me here?"

He kept walking trying to act as if he didn't hear me. He stopped walking and stood in front of me. I looked up at him due to the fact that he is a foot taller than me. He really was a gorgeous human.

"You are different from other fans, you don't scream at shows or video tape the whole thing. You enjoy the show and sing along enjoying yourself."

I was still just standing there looking at all the words roll of Jonah's lips. And I am pretty sure he saw me staring at them and took it the wrong way.

He leaned towards me and I panicked. I dodged the kiss and started walking ahead.

"Layla?" he noticed i had walked ahead.

"Jonah." i reply bluntly.

"What the hell was that?" he said getting slightly annoyed

"Well from what i recall, you tried to kiss me and i walked away." I finish off with a playful smirk.

"Why did you walk away?" he replied trying to calm down.

"Because i can't fall."

"For what?"

"You."
