Discover Me {a Why Don't We fanfiction}

Chapter Three

Ellie, Diana and I stood in front the door, excited to share the news with everyone.

And, as soon as we opened the door, everyone turned to us.

"Did you get it?" Ingle asked.

I was so happy that I just couldn't contain my excitement. "Yeah, I did!"

After a lot of hugs and congratulations, we all sat on our huge couch.

"So, I was thinking, tacos for dinner?" Maria suggests.

"Sounds good to me." Scout replies.

My mind didn't want to think about dinner- my thoughts were scattered with excitement. I was officially a signed artist. I had met a really nice guy, and he had dropped his necklace. That was when I realised- where was my purse?

I walk over to Diana, as to not disrupt the taco conversation. "Can I have the keys please?"

"Sure!" She says, and she slips them out of her pocket.

"Thanks." I say on my way out the door.

The car beeps and I hop in the passenger seat. Luckily, my purse was in here.

I take out the dog tag, running my fingers over the engraved words.

"Why Don't We." I say out loud. I was curious as to why Corbyn have a necklace that says Why Don't We on it. I take out my phone and open safari, but before I could do anything, DJay and Maria come running up to the car.

"Tea! Don't get out yet! We are going to Walmart!"

"Okay! I laugh, stuffing the dog tag back into my purse and sliding into the drivers seat.

"Shotgun!" They both say at the same time, but Maria beats DJay to the passenger seat. She moves my purse off of the car floor, but the dog tag fell out.

"What's this?" She asks, examining it. "It's cool."
"Oh, it's nothing." I laugh nervously, and she gives it to me. For some reason something inside of me needed to make sure I didn't lose it, so I slipped it over my head, and it hung lightly from my neck.

"Where'd you get it from?" Maria asks, but she was slightly distracted on her phone.

"Just a place."

"Nice." She replies, then laughing and showing DJay a meme as I start the car.

"Four taco kits?" I reply in astonishment. "We only need three."
"Tea, I'm hungry!" DJay states.

"Fine." I give in, and then I turn my phone on. I had two messages.

The more recent one was from Dmitri. I rolled my eyes.

Babe, how did the Atlantic Records meeting go!? I'm so proud of you, no matter what happened.

 

I rolled my eyes again, and scrolled down to the next notification.

Okay, Corbyn, if you say so lmao

I laugh to myself, but just as I was about to turn my phone off, my body collides with somebody else's, and I stumble back, regaining my balance. I look up to see a really tall guy with brown hair and a really cute smile.

"Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry!"

"Hahaha, don't worry about it." He replies.

I laugh, and then realise that he was wearing something oddly familiar. The dog tag. I look down at mine, and then back at his in shock.

"You have the same necklace as me!" I exclaim, surprised and confused.

"Yeah, of course." He laughs, slightly confused.

"Where'd you get yours from?"

"It was given to me." He replies, confused again. He takes it off and hands it to me, and I take it. It looks exactly the same as mine. As Corbyn's.

"Do you know what it means?" I ask, intrigued.

"Are you okay?" He laughs.

"Yeah! Who are you?" I asked, and he looked confused.

"Oh! You don't know who I am!" He laughed, and he looked like he had just realised something. "I'm Jonah. Where did you get your dog tag from?"

I hesitate. "A boy." Is all I said, fiddling around with his dog tag.

"A boy? What boy?" He asked.
"You wouldn't know him."

"Oh, right. You're pretty." I was taken off guard, and I looked up at him.

"I'm really not, but thank you."
"Can I give you my phone number?" He asks, smiling.

"Yeah, sure." I pull out my phone and create a new contact and he quickly throws in his details.

"Thanks." He says.

"No problem." I laugh.

"Text me later." He says, and begins to walk away.

"Sure." I smile, and I stood in awe. He was really hot, and he had the same necklace as me. That was fate, right?

"Tea! Have you got the salsa?" Maria calls from the end of the isle.

"Oh, not yet. Wait." I say as I realise I still had Jonah's dog tag. "Jonah!?" I call down the isle, but he was gone. "Are you kidding me!" I sigh, holding the necklace in my hand.

"What happened?" She asks me, and I look at her, wanting to explain, but I just couldn't.

I laugh, trying to play it off. "Don't worry. I'll go get the salsa."

My phone buzzes.
