Is he the one?

Chapter 9. Understanding

Lizzie's POV

He turned back to face me and just said one word "why?"

That one word would change my mood for the entire night.

I looked into his eyes, hurt clouded over the normally shining exterior. Jonah turned towards the stairs "Corbyn can you come back later and make sure Daniel leaves as well." he yelled down the stairs. I heard a muffled yeah and then the front door close.

He turned back to face me and I felt a bit scared, if he was going to yell at me or not. He stood there as if waiting for me to talk. When I didn't, he walked towards me and sat down on the bed next to me and pun an arm round my shoulder as a tear escaped my eyes.

"Why Jonah?" I asked him sternly, "Why did you make him go? Why didn't you want me to hang out with him? Why do you not care about my happiness?" I started tearing up near the end "Why are you being like mum?" that last one shook him. 

I felt his arm stiffen around me, I could feel the tension in his hand as he gripped my shoulder tighter, I could see his face harden.

"What, did you just say to me?" I regretted saying it now.

"Y'know, you're being like mum, she would never let me do fun things with my friends and now you're being exactly like that." I spoke timidly to him.

"Never compare me to her," he faced me as he said that, "she wanted you miserable and I don't want that for you. I'm sorry." wrapping both of his arms around me he gave a long sigh. "It's just that he's in a band after all and I don't think that he could be there for you all the time and sometimes we go on tours and you won't be able to see each other for a few months and he's too old for you and you're only visiting us here and he is like my best friend." 

I then understood, apart from when he mentioned the age think because tried to get with one of my friends (I'm like 1&1/2 years younger than him). I looked back into his eyes and just hugged him even more.

"Talk to Daniel," I spoke muffled "make sure he's okay for you then." I giggled at the last bit.

"You're right, I'll text him and I'll go to his house, k?" I nodded at him as he left my room and shut the door behind him.

- A few hours later -

I was in the kitchen making spaghetti carbonara for Jonah and I as I heard my phone buzz. It was Daniel.

- one new message from Daniel S - ( I would use emojis but I am on my laptop so...)

D- Hey B, sorry about earlier, it's all my fault and I was just checking to make sure you were ok xx

When he called me B my heart probably skipped like three beats, I was so happy. Happy enough to forget about dinner until Poppy mewed at me, stopping me from thinking about Daniel. I quickly typed back a reply.

L- Yeah I'm good but I'm making dinner so I'll txt you when I'm done xx

I chucked my phone onto the sofa as I heard it buzz again but I couldn't be bothered to check it. I finished making dinner and we ate it while watching the X factor. Well I watched it, Jonah was texting someone and I don't think that he saw who went out. We then watched I'm a celeb and Jonah turned the TV onto  Netflix. I don't remember falling asleep but I obviously did as I woke up in his arms as he carried me to my room.
