Love Runner // Jonah Marais fanfiction

Chapter 58

Chapter 58
My eyes flutter being blinded by the brightness of the suns light rays.
"Please wake up. I miss you so much" the voice that I love hearing says.
Eventually my eyes adjust to the brightness and I look around.
Back to the oh so familiar plain white room of a hospital.
I look to my side seeing Jonah.
But why is he here.. he looks terrible to be honest. Zombie-like terrible.
"Jonah" I hold onto his arm.
He jolts upright immediately and takes a look at me. Making sure I'm real and that he's not hallucinating.
"Steffanie!" He shouts making me wince a bit but I just smiled as a few tears fell out his eyes.
"Why are you crying?"
"I missed you so much. It's been more than a month and I thought I was going to lose you" he wipes his tears away and goes to hug me gently.
"I'm so so sorry that I hurt you like that and I admit it's my fault that you got hurt and I-" he starts apologizing but I cut him off
"Jonah. The whole time I could hear you talking to me and.. I forgive you. I won't be able to trust you easy anymore.. and I hope you understand it's just that I don't want to be hurt anymore because I still love you and I probably won't stop loving you but.. I'm just-" I stop
Jonah stares into my eyes as I can see the regret in his eyes.
"You're what?"
"I'm afraid." Confessing that I'm afraid is much harder to do now for some reason
"You don't have to be.. your dad shot himself.. your uncle is in a strong watch by the police in jail, Jenna.. as you know Jenna and I broke up... Jenna committed suicide but it's not your fault at all. I'll explain when you're much better but for now I'll get the doctor" he frowns a bit thinking of Jenna.
Before he leaves I grab his hand.
"Jonah did you stay her the whole time?"
"Yes, I did because I don't want to leave you ever again" with that he closes the door behind him as he exits the room but my heart is still jumping around and crying of happiness.
Okay Steffanie. Not falling for him and making sure that I don't trust him easily will be hard.
But I have to be cautious now.. a lot more cautious.
I love him but maybe he will have to chase me for a bit.
