Layla's pov

I got nervous at Jonah's text, he was never this serious about a situation that wasn't.  I kept thinking about how weird he was acting until I heard my doorbell ring. Shaking me out of my thoughts i go down stairs and answer the door.

"Hey Jonah." i say answering the door smiling, motioning for him to come in. 

"Actually, can we talk out here?" he says nervously.

"Um." i saying thinking about my decision."Uh, yeah, sure." I close my front door behind me. Standing in front of Jonah.

"What's up? You said we needed to talk about something." I state wanting to get right to the point.

He lets out a sigh and begins to speak "I know about you and Jack." he finishes looking straight into my eyes.

"What do you mean " me and jack " " i say putting up air quotes with my hands.

"Cut the bull crap Layla."  he says raising his volume. I flinch at how loud he was getting. "Jack told me what happened the other morning when you spent the night." 

"Yeah, does he wanna tell me too? Because i have no idea what you are talking about."  i say laughing. Knowing what Jack tried to do but failed at. 

"He came into my room after you left and said 

"I hope that kiss was good, because i just stole them."

I was confused and he handed me his phone showing me the security camera footage of him hugging you, whispering to you, kissing you."

I am completely speechless. Because that is the farthest thing from the truth. I try to start saying a sentence but Jonah cuts me off.

"You know what Layla. You made falling for me was such a big deal because I was going to break your heart. I was the f***boy that sleeps with every girl in sight. You made the whole fight about me actually wanting to be with you, about you. And it completely slipped my mind that maybe, just maybe, you could have been the one that would break my heart. That you could be the one that would hurt me. And it turns out you were. I dedicated so much of my time to us when you wasted yours with my best friend, my band member, my brother? After everything i have done to try and prove that I am worth it and you go and have a thing with Jack? Who knows what else you are hiding from me."

I just stood there in complete and utter shock and silence. I didn't know what to say. Because there was something else i was hiding. My secret weapon. 

"J-jonah. Please stop." i say choking up. He runs his hands through his hair and gives me time to speak. "Jonah, you don't understand." 

"Of course i don't understand Layla!"in a sarcastic tone, he says yelling now. "Of course I wouldn't understand that you never did actually like me, you just wanted to say you got with Jack Avery. Because you're just another fan." he finishes walking back to his car, slamming the door and beginning to drive away. Leaving me in my driveway, with tears, slipping out as soon as he leaves. 

*1 hour later*

His last words boomed in my head like loud speakers at a high school party.

"You're just another fan."

I lay in my bed, crying because of all of the horrible things he had said to me. I didn't like Jack like that, I liked Jonah. Jack never hugged me like Jonah did. Jack never whispered to me like Jonah did. And Jack never kissed me. Period.

I knew Jack was out for whatever me and Jonah had. Then it hit me. Me and Jonah weren't anything. Nothing. He was my favorite member of Why Don't We. Was. 

I replay all of his words in my head.

"He thinks I'm a slut that would just sleep with all of his friends. Because I want publicity? Because I'm just another fan." i say putting up air quotes to myself in the mirror as i wipe away my makeup stains. I grab my phone and decide to tell Jonah what really happened before i exit his life. I grab my phone and begin typing.

Jonah's pov

I got back into my car and began my drive home from Layla's house. At this point I was livid. I had never, ever in a million years thought I would have to lash out on her. I loved her. But I sure as hell don't anymore. Yeah, Layla and I weren't dating or anything but if she wanted something along those lines she wouldn't have had the same thing with Jack. I pull into my drive way as I hear my phone ding. I unbuckle my seat belt and take my phone out, to read a text i wish i would have never received.

From : Layla!!

Before i walk out of your life and stuff i would like to explain what actually happened in those security tapes. I woke up and you were still asleep so I decided to make everyone breakfast. I begin to make pancakes, which is what is in the bowl that i am holding in the videos. I was minding my own business and then Jack came up behind me and started hugging me and calling me "baby" i told him to get off and he wouldn't so i told him if he didn't get off i would tell you. he still would not get off, so i threatened him and he finally let go. I poured the pancake batter in his hair and went back up to your room. That is all that happened. But since I'm just another fan this doesn't matter now does it. It was nice finding out who you actually are. You promised me, you promised you wouldn't hurt me. But here I am. Broken. Goodbye Jonah.

*Real life*

I broke more than just a promise. I broke a heart.
