My Dad's Wedding Ring...

12. Hugs after hugs

"So do I get a hug too?" Jonah mentions as he walks over to me. "Do I get my ring back? Yeah I haven't forgotten." I held my hand out again and quirked an eye brow.

"Do I get a hug though?" He asked me as he took off the ring from his finger and the neck brace from his pocket. I nodded my head. He put the ring and the neck brace as a necklace, like I had it before.

"Well are you going to turn around?" He mentioned as he put his hands out holding the clasp ends. I awkwardly turned around and pulled my hair up. He put the necklace around my neck and then I turned around. I spread my arms open and gave him the best hug that I have ever given anyone. He hugs me just as tight and I didn't want to leave that hug.

After a few seconds he let go which meant that I had to too. I let go quickly and cleared my throat. "Thanks." I felt my cheeks heating up but I pulled it down. "So... how did you feel up there?" I asked hoping to break the ice.

"Oh it was fun. Can't believe the tour's over." And just like the other boys he looked sad but relieved somehow.

"How do you feel about it?" I don't know why I was going into this, it wasn't even my place to talk about such a thing.

"I'm good, tired but good. Can't wait to sleep." I would've thought so... I nodded my head and looked ahead.

"Oh by the way! Thank you." I told him immediately remembering what I needed to say.

"For what?"

"For making my best friend's dream come true. He really wanted to meet you guys and once he knew you guys were in town, I just had to get the best tickets. I just didn't think you guys would stay here." I looked over at Louis who was dancing with the boys and even teaching them a few moves. I chuckled and shook my head, they really did make him happy.

"It's alright. When you left he told us about his dancing and the scholarship and auditions. I'm sure that a lot of people video taped him dancing so he could easily send those as an application too." I nodded my head at the suggestion.

"You know I never thought about that! That's a good idea. Maybe I could surprise him with that too. He's been trying so hard recently and nobody has said yes to any of the auditions. I know he needs this." I looked at Louis' smile and I couldn't help but smile too.

"You really love him, don't you?" I sensed a little bit of sadness in Jonah's voice so I knew I had to clear the air on this.

"Well of course I mean he's my best friend. We've been friends since middle school but after all the high school drama, we just stuck together." I smiled at Jonah.

"Time to wrap this up guys! We have an apartment to book." The manager spoke once he walked into the meet and greet spot. Jonah looked over at me and even though he tried to hide it, he was sad. I was too.

"It's okay, you can go. It was nice to meet you." I waved over at the other boys and then looked at Jonah again. He had his arms spread wide and I gave him a questioning look.

"What? The others got two hugs, I want my second one." He grinned smugly keeping his arms spread wide. I rolled my eyes and hugged him. This hug felt weird too, this time he didn't let go. I don't think he wanted to because I shifted to try and get a bit more comfortable and he wrapped his arms tighter around me. My awkward self was dying to let go but I really didn't want to.

After what seemed like a really long time, I let go and he did too. Louis and I said goodbye to the boys and left through the door we had come from.

"Well you and Jonah seemed pretty hands-y." Louis mentioned accusingly.

"I know, he gives really good hugs." I laughed it off and kept walking out to the parking lot.

"Do you think we'll see them again?" He seemed hopeful and I wish I was too. "In my own dreams I guess..." I mumbled and got into the car.

"Now come on, I want some ice cream!" I needed to break the doom and gloom mood. We had a fun day and we needed a fun way to end it.
