Jonah | Sera

Mum

"Jonah!"

"What?"

"Stop sulking and come downstairs!"

"Fine."

"There you are love. Sit down."

"Okay.. What's up?"

"Nothing. There's cake in the cupboard if you want."

"Yeah, ok. I'll get some."

*Jonah walks away.*

"Tell him when he comes back, mum!"

"I'm worried if he- sit here Jonah. It's been a long time since we talked properly. So, how's life honey?"

"Eh."

"Oh! The baby kicked!"

"Aww Sera darling! Do you want anything?"

"No, I'm fine! Who's a good baby? You are!"

"Aww little Pickles!"

"..."

"..."

"Jo, love. I know what Ellie did hurt you but she didn't know."

"Wha- how do you know?"

"Felix was there. He told me afterwards."

"Oh."

"Honey, she didn't know about my breakdown. No one told her and no one corrected her as we didn't want her to withdraw. Especially since her da- since she was quite a quiet kid."

"No, I don't care,mum. You can't just jump to conclusions. That's selfish."

"She thought you left because of her."

"Why the hell would I do that?"

"I don't know. She was quite a lonely little girl and she had finally made a new friend."

"That doesn't excuse anything. She chose to yell at me for something that wasn't my fault."

"Jonah! You know, you also said you didn't want to see her. I know what she said and it was pretty upsetting but she didn't know anything. She also went through a lot in her life with her dad coming back and fighting with her mum after seven years!"

"Wh.. what?"

"Jonah, stop being shallow. We know what she said and yes, it's rude but she was young and she assumed stuff which she fully believed since everyone skirted around the topic. If it was any other person, I'd kill them but it's Ellie and she has gone through a lot of crap as a young kid as her father came back into her life after leaving her mum. You are Willow's uncle and aunt for god's sake."

"But-"

"You know what Jonah? Leave it. Keep it the way you want. That girl clearly..."

*Sera walks off talking*

"Loves... friends... grow up."

"Jonah, please."

*Mum walks away.*

"Oh."

A/N: There are two more chapters till the epilogue! I feel like the song Jet Black Heart fits the sombre mood and this book.

There's a JB (not Justin Bieber, Jack Bauer) gif from Kingsman in the media :).

My holidays are almost over. I don't think I'm done being here yet before I go back. 😢

Question: If you could time travel to any era in the past or the future and have a walk through, which one would it be?
