Bullied By Why Don't We {Slow Updates}

The Past

A/N
Guys the part that is in italics is a flashback just to let you know anything not in italics is in the present. Okay read on!

Diana's POV
Jonah opens the door for me as I get out of the uber. After my little melt down it started raining and we had no clue if Jack and Sophia were still at the mall so Jonah got us an uber back home.

When I step out of the car I gaze at his house. We're neighbors but when Jonah started bullying me I wouldn't even risk looking towards his house in case I would see him.

"Do you wanna come in?" He asks me. Do I? Part of me wants to run in like I would when I was younger but another part of me is scared to go in.
"You could meet Sawyer. We just got him." He adds.
"I guess I can." I respond. Sawyer is really cute from the pictures I've seen on social media. Besides I'd rather go to Jonah's house than my own anyway. Things aren't as complicated at his house.

When Jonah opens the front door I hear paws on the wood floor. Sawyer meets us at the door and immediately goes to lick Jonah's face. Once he notices me he starts to jump up to me to get my attention. Jonah laughs at this. I pet Sawyer and play with him a bit. I'm so distracted I don't even notice Jonah has left me at the entrance. I hear someone rummaging through things and find Jonah in the kitchen.

"Do you want anything?" Jonah asks me when I enter.
"I'll just have a water." I say. He hands me a cold bottle from the freezer and takes the initiative to prepare some popcorn in the microwave. It's smells amazing.

"Jonah? Are you home?" Shouts a woman's voice. A lady walks into the kitchen. A once familiar face that is now a stranger to me.
"Diana? Is that you?" She asks. I'm caught off guard. I wouldn't think that she would remember me.
"Yea. Hi Mrs.Frantzich" I say, not feeling comfortable using her first name like I used to do.
"Oh stop. Call me Carrie. I haven't seen you in a while. How have you been sweetie?"
"Good. It's nice to see you again." I respond.

A ringing goes off meaning that the popcorn is ready. Jonah grabs it quick.
"Well mom, we're going to my room now." He says.
"Alright. Nice to see you again Diana. Don't be a stranger around here." She says to me.
"Nice seeing you too!" I say as Jonah pulls me towards his room. He shuts the door and there we are. Sitting on his bed in complete silence.

"Back at the mall when you said that I wasn't the only one who hurt you. Did you mean...him?" Starts Jonah, "I didn't forget about that." He adds.

A rush of emotions over powers me. Shock mostly. Jonah, someone who hurt me, also knew about the other pains of my life. But why am I so surprised? Jonah knew everything about me when we were younger. Jonah was my other half. I'm at a loss of words and just nod to answer his question.

"Diana. I'm so-"
"Don't. Don't apologize for something that is not your fault." I cut in.
"You shouldn't have to deal with that though."
"And you shouldn't have had to defend me and lie to your parents!" I say in a whisper yell, "Jonah. I am not letting you get involved again. Are you forgetting that you have a platform now? All these fans that know every little thing about you...almost. Who watch you so carefully. You're not going to be able to cover anything up like this! Just...you know I should just go." I say and try to rush out of his room. Jonah is too quick. He pulls me back and we are seeing eye to eye. Memories start flowing back to me.

"You can't catch me!" I say running away from Jonah. Tag is a very serious game. Jonah is fast and catching up to me. I decide to make a sharp turn into the living room. I end up crashing into the coffee table. The corner stabbed my ribs. The collision made Daddy's tool box crash onto the floor. The pain is spreading throughout my body but even more, worry. Jonah comes to pick me up and stand me up straight.

Before I know it Daddy is standing over Jonah and I with his angry face. He starts yelling loudly and using words I don't know and always uses when he is angry. Jonah pushes me and tells me to run to my bedroom. I do as he tells me to do and escape from what Daddy is about to do. When I get to my bedroom I shut the door and hide in my closet. I close me eyes and curl up into a ball. I am holding my ribs and trying to ignore the pain that is still in my body.

Minutes pass by when I hear my bedroom creak open. A knock on the closet door follows that. I let it open and see that Jonah is on the other side. I get out and hug him tight. When I let him go I glance at his face to find out that he has a black eye.

He did this to Jonah.

I do the only thing I think I can. I sneak Jonah out of my house through my balcony and over to his house. We ring the bell and his mom opens the door. She gasps when she sees Jonah's eye. He tried to calm her down and when she asks what happened he told her that he ran into a door while we were playing tag. If only she knew what really happened.

"I'm going to protect you wether you want me to or not. Maybe it can makeup for the extra pain I caused you." Jonah says to me and pulls me into his warm safe arms.
