The Risk of Falling in Love: A Jonah vs. Daniel Fanfiction

Chapter 22

I wander around our apartment, unsure what to do with myself. Usually when i'm bored, Jonah and I will do something together, but I'm all on my own now.
I pick up my phone- texting Jonah.

Me: Can you facetime? :)

JoJo❤️: No, sorry baby. I'm about to go on stage. :(

Me: That's okay, have fun! ;)

I set my phone back down on the table. It's only been two weeks and i'm already lost without him. How am I going to last 2 whole months? I haven't really spoken to Jonah much since he left. He's so busy with shows and meet and greets that he never has time to talk.
I get that he has his own life- I have mine too at the hospital- but I get lonely when I lie in bed by myself.
My phone starts to ring- Christina's face popping onto the screen.
"Hey babe!" I say into the phone.
"Emmy!" Christina chimes. "Okay so i'm at this coffee shop, and it's super artsy. And then I see this guy that looks like Corbyn, so I go up to him and I hug him from behind, and this guy was so scared I swear! It was hilarious!" I laugh. Christina always has the most random stories.
"So i'm like 'sorry thought you were my boyfriend' and he just stares at me, so I walked back over to my table all sad. And then I had the best idea ever," she continues.
"What's your idea," I say stifling a laugh.
"Next week, we should fly to their show in Texas to surprise Jonah and Corbyn!"
My face lights up into an automatic smile. "That's a great idea!" I say excitedly.
"I kind of already bought the plane tickets so I'm glad you said yes," Christina says- and we burst out laughing.
"We leave next Friday at 2 o'clock."
"I really love you sometimes Christina," I say with a big grin.
"You always love me," she replies.
"You're right, I do."

Next Thursday night I pack my suitcase for our trip to Texas. I worked at the hospital everyday this past week so I could miss a few days of work.
I'm fresh out of college, so I'm still training to be a better nurse.
I grab enough outfits to last me for the four days we will be gone, and a few pairs of shoes.
I neatly fold everything into my bag, excluding the few toiletries I will need tomorrow morning.
I hear a knock at my door, so I leave my room to answer it.
"Hey!" Christina says with a wide smile.
I open the door for her to come in, and we plop onto the couch.
"I didn't know you were coming over," I say pleasantly surprised.
"Neither did I," she says with a laugh. "I've just been kind of... lonely, I guess."
"Me too, sister. I miss Jonah more than I thought I would... I assumed my life really wouldn't change that much, but I guess when you see someone everyday they start to make a difference."
Christina nods. "Can I tell you something if you promise not to tell anyone?"
"Of course," I say placing my hand on top of hers.
"Well... I was cleaning our room the other day," she starts- her eyes wandering the room. "And I opened one of Corbyns drawers..." Christina reaches into her back pocket, and grips her fingers around something small. "And I found this..." she opens her fingers to reveal a beautiful diamond ring.
"He's going to propose?!" I say breathlessly- my hands flying to my mouth in shock.
Christina nods, as tears start to trickle down her cheeks too.
I hug her tightly- so excited for my best friend.
"What should I do?" she asks. "Now that I know?"
I smile widely at her. "Well... you could take it with us..."
"What do you mean?" Christina asks eyeing me. I laugh slightly, at her confused expression.
"I mean that maybe you could propose to
Corbyn!"
Christina gasps. "That's an amazing idea Em! You're a genius!"
I can't help but grin at her excitement.
"Let's google ways to propose,"
Christina says flying off the couch to grab my laptop.
I smile at my best friend- knowing these will be the last few moments we share before she's a married women.
