"I love you too." Jonah had said it first. He said he loved me and I truly loved him. I wrapped my arms around giving him the tightest hug. I felt a few tear fall as Jonah was saying all those great things about me. Jonah wrapped his arms around me and kissed the top of my head.

"Jonah Bro Come ON!" Zach had come back in the room and was leaning against the door frame. I let go off Jonah and pecked his lips. I walk out of the bedroom hugging Zach before heading downstairs. Corbyn had come back so I gave him and Daniel a hug before I dragged Jack outside as I got an Uber.

"OMG." I say with the biggest smile on my face.

"What?"

"He said it. And I said it back. I am dying. I thought I'd be the first to say it."

"Well Jonah really loves you. You're honestly the only person he talks about now. 'Guys have you heard her laugh? It's adorable. Oh and the sparkle in her eyes when she gets excited, it's the cutest thing ever.'" Jack said mocking Jonah. I laughed at his attempt. The Uber pulled up to the house and I gave Jack a hug bye. The rest of the guys must've hear because they all came out. Jonah gave me quick peck on the lips before I got in the car.

I had gotten back to my hotel just in time. I saw Brendan getting out of Logan's White Mercedes and waved over to him. I ran over a greeted Brendan. I said "hi" to Logan before he sped off.

Brendan and I head up to my room. When we get there I tell Brendan to close his eyes so I could change my pants quickly. Once I do Brendan sits on the edge of my bed and I go into the bathroom to fix my hair.

"Hey Brendan?"

"Yea?"

"Do you think I should wear my hair up or down? I can't decide."

"Um. . .I don't know you look amazing either way." I felt my cheek heat up.

"Aw thanks Brendan. You're really sweet." I decide on wearing my hair down, but flipped to one side.

I take a quick selfie in the mirror with Brendan in the background looking at his phone

After reading a few comments I felt my eyes tears up. I quickly wipe them and make sure my eyes aren't red. I turn off the comment notifications and put my phone in my butt pocket.

"Ready?" Brendan asks as I walk out the bathroom I nod in response, "Hey, are you okay? Your eyes seem a little red."

"Yea, yea. I'm fine, I was just rubbing my eyes a little." Brendan looks at me with concern.

"A-Are you sure? Chelsea you know you can talk to me right?" I look up at Brendan and smile.

"Yea."

"Then tell me what's wrong." Brendan and I's eyes lock. I look away and then at the floor," Chels..."

"Hate." I say looking back up at Brendan.

"What?"

"All the hate. I know I shouldn't get this upset over it, but- but ugh! It's so dumb! They don't even know me!"

"Chels. . .come here." Brendan held open his arms for a hug and I accepted. I gripped onto the back of his shirt," You know they're just jealous if they're hating on such a perfect girl like you. You are amazing. Don't listen to them. I know for a fact none of it's true."

"It just gets to me and I can't escape it. It's only gotten worse since Jonah and I made it public. I just wish it'd stop." I feel Brendan rest his head on mine," Why do they even hate me so much?"

"I don't know." I stuff my face in Brendan's chest," I have an Idea. How about we go to the movies, then I'll take you to get some Ice Cream, then after that we can come back here and hang out. Just you and me." I nod with my face still in Brendan's chest," Come on. You the can choose the movie on the way there."

--Time Skip--

Brendan and I got to the Movie Theater and I was choosing a movie.

"How about. . .Friend Request?"

"Friend Request it is." Brendan bought the tickets and we headed inside. We bought a medium popcorn, 2 small sodas, a box of Sour Patch Kids and some Twizzlers. I got the Sour Patch Kids of course.

--Time Skip--

Brendan and I were walking down the sidewalk together after the movie. We were talking about my life back at home when two girls came running up to us.

"Omg. Chelsea and Brendan! Hi! My name's Meghan and this is my friend Kaitlyn" Brendan and I looked at each other and laughed saying hi.

"We love you both so much! Can we get a picture?" We agreed and Brendan took a selfie of all of us one each of the girl's phones. I signed Meghan's phone case and Brendan signed Kaitlyn's.

"Omg, are you guys dating? Chendan is literally my OTP." Kaitlyn said with a smile on her face

"U-Um no, sorry. I already have a boyfriend. . .Jonah, we made it official." Both girls went wide eyed. One girl had a wide smile and the other a not so wide smile.

"You two are so cute together! I ship Jelsea. My new OTP!" Meghan said jumping up and down. I'm guessing neither of them had checked Jonah and I's Instagram.

"So, while Jonah is away you're hanging out with another guy all alone? Sounds like a slut to me." Kaitlyn said crossing her arms and glaring at me. I froze. I wanted to say something, but it's like my mouth was glued shut even though it was hanging slightly open.

"Hey!" Brendan had put an arm in front of me," You have no right to call her that. If you were really a fan of Chelsea you'd accept her decision and Jonah's." Kaitlyn scoffed and walked off. Her friend must've been in shock too because her eyes were wide as she watched her leave.

"Oh my gosh. I am so sorry about her. I honestly don't know what happened. Are you okay?" Meghan apologized. I nod in response to her question. She apologizes once more before leaving. I felt my eyes tear up.

"Chelsea don't let he-" I turn towards Brendan and I could feel tears sliding off my face and onto the pavement," Chels. . .Don't cry come on." I try and wipe away some of the tears but they keep forming. Brendan wraps me in a hug," Do you just want to go back to the hotel?" I nod.
