Puppy dog eyes

chapter ● 12

The week flew by. We all laughed and teased each other until next thing we knew it was time to go our separate ways. We all went to the airport together as out flights were around about the same time. Me and jonah jumped on the plane to minnesota .

*skip flight cos it's just filled with cuddling and sleeping which you guys are probably bored of*

We got back to stillwater and were walking back to jonah's house. When we walked by my parents house I stopped. The cars were gone and there was a huge for sale sign in the front yard. Jonah grabbed my hand
"I'm so sorry E" I yank my hand out of his grip and begin walking. Faster this time.
"It's fine I never cared for them anyways." I growl. I feel bad for snapping at jonah but I can't help it. I can't believe they just left without saying anything.
"I'm gonna go for a walk" I say and I start walking towards the trail that leads to my spot in the woods. Jonah grabs my wrist.
"I can't let you go off on your own. You're not in a fit state. I don't want you doing anything stupid. " he gives me the puppy dog eyes. God dammit those eyes will be the death of me!
He let's go of my wrist but keeps his hand stretched out for me to take. I intertwine my fingers with his and we walk home in silence. He understands how to make me feel better and how to give me time to cool off without leaving me on my own. I love that. I love him.

We get to his house and I let go of his hand running up to his room. I collapse on the bed and bury my face in his pillow. Rolling onto my side so I can look out of his glass balcony doors, the tears start to fall. And they fall hard. I sob into my hands when Esther came in.

She knocked gently on the door before coming in and sitting next to me. She held me.
"It's all gonna be okay. It'll work out" she whispers and I just sob harder. She holds met in silence until jonah comes upstairs.

Jonah's POV

Evie ran upstairs and I signalled Esther to follow her. I wanted to talk to my mom and dad about it all.

"You walked past her house huh?" My mom asks. Smiling sympathetically.
She reaches over onto my knee, leaving her hand there.
"The seavey's agreed to adopt her, we thought it wouldn't be fair to make you brother and sister due to your romantic relationship." She seems uncomfortable talking about my dating life. Ever since I hit the age where couples started, you know, doing things... she wanted nothing to do with it.
"They've given her up for adoption?! But how am I going to see her if she's in portland,oregon?" I run my hands through my hair. This situation is hard for me. It's must be absolutely devastating for her. The worst part is she won't admit that it hurts.
"We spoke to the authorities. She is allowed to stay here with us, we told them that we believed the change of schools and states in general would be too much for her.
Sawyer comes and jumps on my lap. I give him a quick belly rub.
"I'm gonna go make sure she's alright. This is really hard for her and she won't even admit it" I explain. My mom gives me a hug and my dad pats my shoulder. I pick up sawyer and take him upstairs.

"Special delivery" I look over my shoulder and see jonah carrying sawyer. Esther gets up,jonah takes her seat.
"Thanks sis" I whisper as she walks out. She returns it with a smile.
Sawyer wanders round my bed and gets comfy as jonah holds me. Tight.
He explains everything to me.
"M'kay" I reply. I know that if I say anything else I'll cry again.

Jonah raises his voice slightly.
"Evie you can admit it hurts okay. You don't always have to be happy. It's okay to not be okay. But you HAVE to let me help you okay? That's the only way things will ever get better. You need to let people help "
"Sorry jo" I mumble
He kisses my cheek "don't be sorry. Just promise you'll let me help?" I nod my head and give my best attempt at a smile. He tackles me down onto the bed so he's on top, brushes my hair out of the way and kisses my face all over. Now I'm really smiling for real.

"I love you jonah marais Roth frantzich"
"I love you more evie seavey" I roll my eyes at the seavey part and tug him down towards me by his shirt.
"Not possible" I kiss him long and slow. This boy is taking over my heart.
