if my hair wasn't already a hot mess, it was now after running my shaky hands through it multiple times. jonah just watched me before slowly moving towards me resting his warm hands on my shoulders. i immediately felt his calm presence and loosened my tense state. walking into his chest i felt the tears start to come as i wrapped my arms around his neck. he wrapped my arms around my small back as we hugged. i was safe.
"everything will be okay." jonah repeated as i couldn't help but let out a small sob. i knew my tears would stain his hoodie but he didn't seem to care.
"wanna talk about it?" jonah finally whispered, minutes after the hug ended as we sat at the kitchen table.
"i don't know. i guess it's not a big deal." i said, fiddling with my long nails as i watched jonah make us eggs. the hours was silent, almost as if no one else was home. no one was downstairs, but at least zach had to be awake to post the picture.
"it can be a big deal if you want it to be. you feelings matter to any situation." jonah hummed as he flipped the eggs onto two glass plates. he grabbed a plate in each hand before walking over to the table.
"thanks." i nodded as he set one plate in front of me. slowly picking at the golden yellow eggs i thought.
"where is everyone?" i said to jonah looking up.
"daniel and jack went to pick up eben at the airport." jonah said, shoving his fork full of eggs into his mouth.
"what about august?" i asked recalling that they left together.
"august thinks that he wants to move back home. to focus more on professional photography." jonah said, a small speck of angry clear in his voice.
"oh. well is he coming back to say goodbye?" i questioned, taking a sip of orange juice.
"he'll be back tomorrow to say goodbye and move everything back." he nodded, looking down at his now empty plate. "what about everyone else?" i said, changing the subject and not wanting to anger jonah anymore about august.
"corbyn took christina out for the day. she has to leave pretty soon to go back to school." jonah said looking back up at me. my mood soon changed. i had grown quite close with christina in the short time i've know the boys and it'll be sad for her to leave. at least she'll be coming back when she can.
"jack, zach, and alex?" i whispered, once again changing the subject.
"alex got a little mad at zach about the picture, so he took her to starbucks. jack tagged along. are you mad at zach?" jonah asked carefully. i shook my head with a smile.
"not anymore. it took a little bit of time to realize but you guys have been posting me and alex on your snapchat for almost a month. plus i sang at the concert too, so your fans probably know who i am." i laughed, causing jonah to smile.
"and if me and daniel had become official, we would have made it public anyways. it was bound to happen sooner or later with you guys." i added, still smiling.
"i guess i was just scared of the hate." i followed as my laugh died down.
"i get a few comments here and there from the concert and the few snaps, but now it will get worse." i whispered, looking away from jonah.
"there's nothing to hate about you. now come on, let's do something today. just be and you." he smiled, obviously excited as he stood up and took my, now empty, plate along with his. after he gently dropped them in the sink, i stood up smiling.
"well go to your house first so you can change and then we'll leave for the day." jonah settled walking towards the stairs.
"where are we going?" i asked a little confused.
"it's a surprise!" he yelled, now running up the stairs causing me to chuckle.
"okay ready?" jonah asked as i buckled my seat belt. i nodded as he put the car in reverse to back out of my driveway. after putting on mascara and chapstick, i threw on some black leggings, a cropped nike hoodie, and my checkered vans. satisfied with my simple look, i ran back out to the car, where jonah patiently sat as he waited for me. as he drove i fixed my messy bun, that didn't look like a nest for once.
"are you going to tell me where we're going now?" i asked impatiently waiting as jonah kept his eyes on the road.
"nope." he said, popping the p and smirking. rolling my eyes i went on my phone as i waited.
after quickly sending a text to the group chat explaining me and jonahs absence for the day, i plugged my phone onto the aux cord jonah had in his car, and shuffled my car playlist. most of the songs happen to be by why don't we, so of course me and jonah jammed out. along with why don't we, i had billie eilish, rex orange county, the growlers, the walters, and one direction songs added to the playlist.
"wow. you have pretty good taste in music. i thought you'd be like a pop girl, i never expect indie and one direction." jonah chucked as 'life' by the walkers ended.
"why thank you" i responded in a horrible british accent, that caused jonah and i to burst into laughter.
"close your eyes." jonah said as he handed me a black bandana. confused, i placed the bandana over my eyes as the car came to a stop.
"okay. when i count down from three take it off." he ordered. laughing, i nodded.
"one...two...three" jonah said as my hands made their way up to my face to remove tree blindfold. once my eyes were open i looked around the place jonah was so excited to take me.
"awe jonah." i said smiling as my hand slightly covered my mouth.
