----------------
Evie's POV
----------------

January 29th. I had 6 days left with jonah before he went on tour. Everyone was staying in the apartment complex. Me and Christina stayed there too. I sat on jonah's bed and Christina sat on Corbyn's.  They packed. No one said anything. We were all so dramatic. We acted like it was the end of the world but honestly. It felt like it. All of a sudden jonah and corbyn look at each other, then at me and Christina then back at each other. They start laughing but try to make it discreet. Jonah comes over and wipes the tears from my face as Corbyn scoops Christina up into a hug.

Jonah sits on my lap.
"Jesus jo, do you know how heavy you are? Now what's with the big grin? Aren't you sad to leave me?" I pout and act betrayed.

"Sweetheart, I'm not leaving you. Also,did you just call me fat?!" He licks my face and I taze his ribs making him jump.
"No babe you're not fat but you are very heavy so if we could switch this around I would be grateful." He stands up and sits next to me. Patting his lap. I lay my head in it.
"Heyyy I wanted you to sit!"
"And I wanted to lie down. Now what do you mean you're Not leaving me?" I look at him half smiling but also extremely confused.

"OMG NO WAY!!! AWWW I LOVE YOU BEAN YOU'RE THE BEST BOYFRIEND EVER. " I hear Christina shout almost deafening Corbyn.
"Sorry but jonah won that award already." Jonah smiled and kissed my cheek.

"Now I'm guessing Christina knows the news so can someone please tell me?"

"Babe, you're coming on tour with me."

"OMG jojo I love you you're amazing do my parents know? Nevermind I don't care. But what about Daniel?  He doesn't approve of this. But I really want him to because I love you and.."

I'm cut off by jonah smashing his lips into mine. He kisses me and I smile.

"How about we leave it it at I love you?" He smirks and I lean in for another kiss.

"Does Daniel know?"

"Does Daniel know what? Oh my God! Are you pregnant?! Jonah I told you to kept your.."

"Okay first of all you gotta stop just appearing whenever someone says your name it's creepy. Second, I'm not pregnant! I was asking if you knew that I was going on tour with you."

"Oh yeah it was my idea. The longest you guys were apart was 2 weeks and that almost killed you both!  Who knows what six months would do!"

We all laugh and me and jonah steal a kiss when no one's looking.
"I wuv oooo" he says in a baby voice.
"Ye ye I love you too ya big baby. Now. I want pizza."

"Okay let's go order it! WHO WANTS PIZZA?!!" Jonah shouts and jack basically sprints out of his room.

"Yesssssssss" jack and zach race downstairs almost pushing each other down.

We spend the night watching films and talking. Soon we get onto my parents. Just like the last time we all met up.

"Hey, evie?" I look up and see zach. He looks nervous.

"Uh yea what's up?"

"Umm you don't have to answer this if you don't want to but Umm. .. nevermind." I look up at jonah and give him a confused look.

"He wants to know about your parents. He's really curious about it,  has been since he met you. He's asked me but I didn't think It was my place to say. Also I didn't really know..." he whispers and looks upset at the end.

"Zach, it's fine you can ask. I don't mind talking about it but it's just not something I bring up out of the blue."

He smiles at me.
"You sure?"
"Yea I am. I trust you guys."

"Umm I don't know like what happened? Jonah said you would go into the woods, wasn't it kind of dangerous?"

"Well yea but if I'm honest it was dangerous for me to go home. I was genuinely scared of them"

"Your parents?" Jack looks up sympathetically.

"Yea... my parents"

"Evie I'm so sorry" I see a tear slip down zach's face.

"Bro why you crying?" I throw a pillow at him.

"How are you not crying?! I'm so sorry evie you shouldn't of had to do that. Did they ever... yuno... hit you?"

"Uhh yea..."

"WHAT?! EVIE YOU PROMISED ME THEY DIDN'T!" Jonah let's go of my hand and runs upstairs. I I stand up to go after him but he shoves me back.

"Is would've called the authorities evie! I would've got them in jail! They don't deserve to be roaming around the streets of who knows where! How could you do this to me?!"

"I-I jo I'm sorry..." I go to hold his hand but he yanks it away.

"Don't bother." He runs upstairs and I'm left standing there. Zach comes up to me and hugs me.

"Evie, he didn't mean that. You don't have to be sorry. You did nothing wrong." I cry into his chest. He plants a gentle kiss on my forehead. I look up.

"Zach I really appreciate you comforting me but Umm you don't still have feelings for me do you?"

"Yeah evie, I do but this isn't about that. This is about making sure you're okay. I won't try anything. I promise. You're his and he's yours. I get that,okay? But I do love you and although I'm not gonna be yours I wanna be there for you."

We pull apart and realise that everyone had gone to there rooms.

"Thank you so much zach"  we sit on he sofa and he puts an arm round me. I lean into him.
