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

Chapter 25

"Thank you," I tell my uber, stepping into the Los Angeles sun.
I roll my suitcase through my apartment complex and up to my place.
Throwing my stuff on my bedroom floor, I climb into my bed.
I let all the tears I built up come pouring down my cheeks.
In 2 days I lost my boyfriend, and my best friends.
Now that I know Daniel doesn't really care about me and my feelings, I definitely won't be hanging out with them anytime soon.
I pick up my phone, dialing my cousin Brooklyn's phone.
"Hello?" Brook says into the phone. 
"Hi," I say in the calmest voice I can bare.
"Emmy, what's wrong?" she asks- noticing the emotion in my voice.
I burst into tears, and I tell her everything.
"Can I come stay with you for awhile?" I ask her- embarrassed. She lives about 20 minutes from my apartment, so I will still be able to work at the hospital.
"Of course," Brook says. "We'll have so much fun!"
I smile into the phone. I've always loved Brooklyn.
"Thank you Brook. I love you so much."
We say our goodbyes, and I place my phone next to me, pulling my laptop onto my lap.
I pull open gmail, composing an email to Jack, Zach, Corbyn, and Christina.
I tell them that i'm moving out of my apartment, and that I'm stepping back for awhile.
It pains me to abandon my friends again, but my heart would ache so much more if I have to see Jonah everyday.
He broke my heart, and now it is time for me to heal.
I type this:

Dear Friends,

I didn't want things to end like this, but here we are. I knew when I decided to date Jonah that things in my life would become considerably harder- this being one of those times where I understand that the most. Two days ago my heart broke, and I do not think it will heal anytime soon unless I distance myself from the cause. It hurts me to say that I'm moving out of my apartment, and in with my cousin. I hate that it has come down to this, but I don't know what else to do. Part of cutting Jonah out of my life with include all of you, and for that, I'm truly sorry. In order for me to heal, I need to move on from
this part of my life, and start a new drama free one. I love each and every one of you- I hope you know that.

Much love,
Emma Kerry

I click send, tears streaming down my cheeks.
I shut my laptop, walking into my bedroom to start packing up our- my- apartment.
I pack everything except for the few things that belong to Jonah.
I'll leave those for when he comes home to an empty apartment next month.
When i'm finished packing up my room, I sit on my bed, letting myself think about Jonah and the boys one last time.
'Okay,' I tell myself. 'I'm ready to move on'.
