after Emma, Maddie and i split, i started walking towards my house, thinking about the kiss from lunch. even though it was just a little kiss, i still can't get over it. because i like Jonah. and i have liked him for a few months now. when i reached my house i passed by Jonah, who was on his driveway, i started walking up my driveway when he waved at me.
why?
i didn't want to hurt his feelings, so i looked at him and just smiled. it was probably an ugly-ass smile, but that's all i could do to him right now.
i ran up the stairs and unlocked the door to my house. dad was still at work and mom wasn't home. it was her day off from work today, so she must've gone to the store. i closed the door behind me and ran up the stairs to my room.
i turned my phone on and sat on my bed. i got a text from mom.
mom: hey honey, i had to run to work for something. i'll be back in four hours. 😘
me: okay
i went on Instagram and started scrolling through my feed.
as i was on it, a post from Jonah appeared. he just posted it. i'm not surprised though, he's always on Instagram.

jonahmarais: why were you acting all awkward earlier?
i tried to think of an excuse.
sadie.foster: um
jonahmarais: it was the kiss, wasn't it?
ugh.
sadie.foster: yea
jonahmarais: same lol, i keep thinking about it

sadie.foster: wait why?
jonahmarais: well idk it didn't just feel like a game to me
sadie.foster: yeah same
jonahmarais: what was it then?
sadie.foster: it kind of felt like w
loud knocks coming from downstairs startled me, causing me to send the text, which i wasn't even done writing. i froze, listening closely. there was nothing. i just ignored it and there were four texts from Jonah
jonahmarais: ?
jonahmarais: felt like what?
jonahmarais: hello? Sadie?
jonahmarais: are you there?
sadie.foster: yeah, sorry
jonahmarais: so you were saying?
i heard it again. it couldn't have been my dad, he was still at work. maybe my mom came home early? it's only been an hour and a half though. i still left my room to make sure.
"mom? is that you?" i yelled.
i heard faint whispers on the other side of the front door. it wasn't her. she usually comes from the garage door, and she does not talk like that. as i looked at the front door, i noticed it was unlocked. shit. i forgot to lock it when i came home. if i don't go and lock it, the knocks on the front door will turn into knocks on my room door. i went down the stairs quietly, i locked the door and ran back up to my room. thank God we don't have windows on the sides of the door.
i went back into my room, locking the door. i picked my phone up.
jonahmarais: Sadie?
jonahmarais: are you okay?
jonahmarais: hello?
jonahmarais: SADIE WHERE TF ARE YOU?!?
sadie.foster: i forgot to lock the front door. there are people outside. i went and locked it.
jonahmarais: what the hell who's outside?
sadie.foster: IDFK THEY'RE WHISPERING AND KNOCKING ON THE DOOR
jonahmarais: it's not any of your parents?
sadie.foster: no, its not.
jonahmarais: hold on i'll check.
sadie.foster: no don't go outside you could get hurt!
he didn't reply.
jonahmarais: okay i looked out my window and there's two men standing outside your front door.
i read his message but didn't respond. i didn't give a shit about what happened at lunch. i needed someone with me.
sadie.foster: can you come over here?
without replying, Jonah read it and in an instant he was standing outside near his backyard. wow. he walked around to mine. i ran downstairs and unlocked the backyard door so he could come in.
the second he stepped into my house i hugged him. he hugged me back tightly.
"its okay, if they come in i'll beat their asses until they're lying on the floor unconscious."
i laughed and kept hugging him.
"so what are we going to do?" i asked.
"i don't know do you wanna stay here with a weapon in case they come in or should we hide somewhere?"
i shrugged and walked into the kitchen where the knife block was sitting on the counter. i grabbed one of the knives from it and walked back to Jonah. when he saw what was in my hands he quickly backed up.
i laughed "i'm not going to kill you!"
"okay good."
"you're dumb." i told him.
"you're mean." he replied.
all of a sudden there was another loud knock on the door. Jonah and i ran upstairs to my room.
