Puppy dog eyes

chapter ● 22

---------------------
Jonah's POV
---------------------

It's been nine days. I haven't left my room for 5. And I haven't eaten in 3.
I facetime her everyday from 4 o'clock in the afternoon until one of us falls asleep. If she isn't busy she'll call me earlier. She doesn't know that I've stopped eating. She doesn't know that I haven't showered in a week. There's no point. She became my whole world, my whole point for living, and now she's gone.
My mom comes in. She has a tray of food with her.
"Jonah, you need to eat." She sounds bitter,maybe even dissapointed. I can't help but feel guilty.

"I'm sorry mom. I'll try. I just don't feel hungry" I trail off. Tears building up in my eyes.

My mom looks down on me. Lifting my chin so I'm looking into her eyes.

"Evie loves you jonah. You are her whole world, if anything happened to you she would be broken. It would destroy her. I've seen how she looks at you when you aren't looking. She really loves you."

"Really?" I hadn't noticed that she looks at me when I'm not paying attention. I smile knowing I do the same thing.

My mom gives me a hug before walking out. "Take a shower, you smell" I laugh and go to get in the shower but Evie facetimes me. I answer it.

"It's only 11 am we don't normally call for 5 more hours" I laugh, noticing her eagerness to talk to me.

"I guess I'll hang up then" she smirks

"Noooooo baby, pweez dont"-I give her puppy dog eyes and throw in a pouty  lip aswell-" but I do need to shower "

"Take me in with you, I won't look, I promise" she smirks before laughing, we both decided that we weren't ready to get intimate yet, but it definitely doesn't stop us joking about it!

I set up my phone so it's facing away from the shower, I get ready and wash as quickly as possible, because I can't hear her too well. I turn off the shower just in time to hear her singing 'I meant it' from my first ep, when I was a solo artist.she sounds amazing.

"Woah babe you sound amazing but you aren't breaking up with me are you? I didn't cheat on you" I joke but then she goes quiet.
"Wait?! Did you cheat on me?"

"What no! Don't be silly jo, I love you. I was just singing it for fun. I went quiet cos I was embarrassed, smartass!"

"Okay okay just making sure-" I laugh at how paranoid we both are -"don't be embarrassed babe, it was amazing" I flip the camera on me and smile at her.

"Please for the love of God tell me you have a towel on." She laughs and I blush.
"One sec!" I turn round and walk to get a towel.
"Cute butt" I hear. SHIT!  I forgot to turn the camera again. I tie the towel round my waist before turning back.
"Hehe thanks I guess" I rub the back of my head.
"You didn't screenshot that did you?"
"Maybe" she winks at me and laughs I walk back out into my room to see Svea on my bed, eating the food my mom brought me.
"SVEA! That was my food!"
"But you have just left your food the past few days! I didn't want it to go into the garbage! It's bad to waste food ya know" she sticks her tongue out at me. I grab a slice of bacon.
"Yeah,  well I happened to want this food!"
I bite into the bacon and chew it up, I open my mouth to show Svea.
"Ewwwww JONAH!"
"What?! I thought you liked seafood!" We roll about laughing for a few minutes before I choke on the bacon, only making Svea laugh more. Once I regain my breathe I shoo her out.
"Okay out you go Svea, I need to get dressed" she walks out grabbing as much food as possible on her way.
She shuts the door before shouting down to my mom
"MOM JONAH IS ON FACETIME WITH EVIE"
"And?!" My mom shouts back.
"HE'S NAKED!"
"Svea what did I tell you about being a tattle tale? JONAH,  put on some clothes!"
I run to my door and open it a little bit
"I'M NOT NAKED"
"HE'S ONLY IN A TOWEL AND HE WAS ON FACETIME WHEN HE SHOWERED SO HE WAS DEFINITELY NAKED THEN"
"I-I- SHUT UP SVEA THE CAMERA WAS FACING THE OTHER WAY! SHE DIDN'T SEE ANYTHING" I flick her forehead.
"I SAW HIS BUTT! IT'S CUTE!" Evie shouts through the phone gaining a laugh from my mom.

"OKAY EVERYONE STOP BULLYING JONAH NOW, THANK YOU!" I shout and everyone laughs. I walk back into my room and roll my eyes, picking up my phone as I shut the door.
"Yeah, thanks for the help bitch! "
"Anytime" Evie grins earning a chuckle from me.
"Cute" I roll my eyes
"Cuter than your butt" I hear Daniel laugh.
"Shut up, giraffe!" I laugh
"Send me that screenshot Evie, I could use it as blackmail" daniel says.we all laugh and I pretend to huff. For awhile everything felt okay.
