Counting Down The Days

chapter 5

(Kylie's pov)
I wake up the next morning and roll over to my phone. I see a text from Jonah.
Jonah: good night :)
It turns out it wasn't Erin after all. I text him back saying good morning. He gets back to me pretty quickly.
Jonah: hey, so I was thinking, maybe you'd like to hang out again today? i had a lot of fun last night with you
Me: sure! what time?
Jonah: ill pick you up in an hour?
Me: sounds good :)
Jonah: see you then :)
I text Erin.
Me: guess who has a second date today!
Erin: NO WAY! and remember from a few years ago we made those bucket lists? I just found them! text me when you get back from hanging with Jonah
Me: you got it 👍
I start to get ready for whatever Jonah has in store today. I put on a white jumper and style my hair in a messy bun.
Jonah: im outside, come out when you're ready :)
I say bye to my parents and walk out the door. Once again Jonah opens the door for me and then walks to the other side of the car.
"So what are we doing today?" I ask him.
"I was thinking I'd take you to meet the boys, is that okay?"
"That'd be great." I tell him. We arrive at his house and it's one of the biggest, most beautiful houses I've ever seen. The boys all run out the door at the same time.
"WOW Jonah, how'd you manage to get this one?"
"So this is the girl you've been talking non stop?"
"Way to go Jo!"
They all say slapping him on the back.
Jonah introduces them to me.
"This here is Daniel, next to him is Zach, the one with the hair that looks like ramen noodles is Jack, and the one next to him is Corbyn."
"Hi.." I say shyly.
"Hey Kylie!" They all say. We decide to watch some movies and I sit next Jonah (of course), and Corbyn sits on the other side of me. At one point Corbyn leans over to me and whispers "so Jonah seems to really like you, so please don't hurt him, he's one of my best friends and he's gone through a lot. He's a great guy and he deserves a girl like you, but please don't mess this relationship up. He's been really happy." I look over at Jonah and he looks over at me. We both smile at each other and then he turns back to the movie.
"Don't worry I won't. I'm really happy too." I whisper back, telling the truth. I spend a few more hours with the boys and then head over to Erins house to check out the bucket lists.

"Hey girl!" Erin says as you walk into her house.
"Hey! So where are these bucket lists?"
"Follow me.." We go into her bedroom and I see the bright posters we made in 5th grade laid out on her bed. As I pick mine up all the good memories come flowing back. Then you get an idea.
"What if I complete these? I mean now I actually have a reason to do these..." I say, turning to Erin.
"That's actually why I called you over. Maybe Jonah can help with a few too." She winks at me. As I look over the list I realize I've changed a lot over the past years. Most of the stuff I dont even want to do. Such as..
Get Jason to kiss me. Jason was my fifth grade crush 😂. I cross that out.
Get a pet spider. Oh hell no! Why did I ever want one in the first place? They're disgusting. I cross that one out too.
Go bungee jumping off the Golden gate bridge. Just as I was about to cross that one out too, Erin stops me.
"We're doing that one first. And you can't back out, I've already made arrangements for us to go tomorrow. You should text Jonah to see if he'd like to come too!" She laughs.
I ask Jonah and he texts back:
Jonah: see you then!
