as for y/n, she wasn't sleeping entirely, she just simply closed her eyes. she was thinking about the past few hours that she spent getting to know jonah. the way he came from a small town, as so of the rest of his band members. and made it so big in just one year truly inspired her. she loves the way he actually loves his fans, and how he is still so humble. she adored the way his hair is messy and cute, and his eyes were so pretty, and how his grins and smiles were goofy, but made her warm inside, and his laugh electrified her in a way like she never felt before. she knew she was falling for him, and this time it wasn't forced upon her. 

she fell asleep on the way home, thinking about him.

they arrived back to the why don't we house, jonah pulled into the driveway, turned off the engine, and unbuckled his seatbelt. then he proceeded to unbuckle y/n. by this time she was knocked out. the tiredness overtook her body. she was fast asleep.

jonah stepped out of the car. he made his way to the other side of the car, opening the door and lifting her up, holding her like he was cradling a baby. he looked at her, taking in her beauty in awe, but he also got the slightest bit angry. why? because he didn't understand how someone could hurt her like jason did. or hurt anyone in that way really. his blood boiled at the thought of him hurting her. the thing he really couldn't comprehend is how he did it with no remorse. but he ignored those thoughts, he was too in love with her at the moment that he was happy she was safe in his arms.

he walked up to the door, turning the doorknob to reveal he forgot to lock the door. he just hoped either, A. nobody robbed the house or B. daniel wasn't standing there when he opens the door because knowing daniel, he would kill jonah about the door being unlocked.

when he opened the door, it revealed none of the above happening, so he was relieved. he entered the house quietly, closing the door and locking it behind him. jonah walked to the couch, softly placed the sleeping beauty on the couch, took her slides off, covered her with a nearby blanket, and lifted her head up to place a pillow under her head.

he smiled at her, looking at the girl made his heart beat just a little faster, and his smile a little wider.

after that, he headed towards the kitchen island. his slides still on his feet, making a stomping sound on the wooden floor. he placed his keys on the island, then took of his slides, placing them next to the front door.

a tired, messy-haired zach slowly walks down the stairs, with eyes that are barely open and heavy steps. jonah hears his giant-like steps and glances towards the stairs. zach reaches the bottom step and looks up at jonah with a confused look on his face, he tilts his head seeing as it was around seven in the morning and jonah was somewhat dressed up, looking like he is either heading somewhere or just came back from somewhere. and to see that y/n is passed out of the couch, sleeping peacefully when he fully remembered that she went upstairs that night because she was tired, and also saw her asleep on the queen bed located upstairs last night just puzzled the brown haired child even more. zach was wearing a large shirt, which was jonah's, his black sweatpants, and fuzzy socks he was gifted for christmas by his mother.

jonah blurts out one phrase, "in-and-out at three A.M." smiling, zach nods as he knows jonah enjoys going out to places very early in the morning for 'fun'. as zach himself has been on one of his many late-night adventures. he couldn't lie, he enjoyed them a lot.

then zach proceeds to head to the kitchen and takes out the certain things needed to make a good bowl of cereal for breakfast.

as to jonah, he is confused why zach was up so early, he knew he usually was the one of the last to wake up, so he questioned zach.

"why are you up so early?" jonah questions with a hint of curiosity in his tone. the shorter light-brown-haired teen looked at jonah and replied, "corbyn was cuddling me to death, and when i mean 'cuddle' i mean practically strangling me." jonah nodded, holding back a laugh, but letting a cheeky smile slip from his lips. while walking to the kitchen to get a glass of water, he bursts out laughing, he obviously couldn't hold back that laugh any longer.

"hey it's not funny, i could have died" the teen cries out, his bottom lip sticking out and showing a fake pout.

"yeah, okay buddy." jonah snickers while he pats zach's head, the volume of his hair making it bounce back into place. zach makes a slightly angry face but proceeds to make his cereal while jonah sets down his glass of water and walks towards the couch where y/n was fast asleep.

as jonah sits down on the black couch, the weight shifts onto his side, making the couch weigh down a bit, which caused y/n shuffle. he puts his feet up on the auto-man and grabs the remote to put on some random tv show.

y/n slowly opens her eyes, to directly look on the tv that is playing a disney channel show. she thinks to herself, when will these guys grow up?, she silently chuckles at her statement.

she turns her head to see a spaced-out jonah smiling about whatever he was thinking about in that moment and time. which causes her to smile at his goofy expression. 

little did she know that he was thinking about her.
