Jonah

As we walked back to Corbyns house. Many of the 'what ifs' went through my head.

What if he doesn't like me like that?

What if I mess up and say something stupid?

What if he never wants to speak to me ever again?

Its crazy how I've only known him for a few days, yet I'm so close with him. How am I gonna explain to him that I like-like him?

I was to busy with the thoughts in my head, that I didn't even realize I was standing in front of the door to the backyard.

"Just talk to him." Tate whispered as she patted my shoulder and walked away.

Come on Jonah you got this

Just a simple talk

If only it was that simple

Hesitantly I opened the door and walked over to Jack. Noticing my presence he opened his eyes to reveal those chocolate brown orbs I've grown so attached to. He took the earbuds out of his ears sitting up slowly.

"Hey Jo." He spoke softly. The butterflies in my stomach were going crazy. I sat down next to him on the ground.

"Hey J." There was a comfortable silence between us for a minute. Until I finally spoke up.

"So umm. How about this weather?" I mentally face palmed myself. So so stupid. He chuckled.

"It's. Great?" His smile lit up the whole world. I know, it sounds cliche, "changing topics. It might be a little personal, but...you never told me about your family." Silence. He quickly took my hand in his.

"Hey, hey it's okay you don't have to tell me." I shook my head before speaking.

"No, it's only fair," taking a breath I continued, "my - uh, my parents. They used to fight a lot. I was never used to it. When I went to go check it out, my mom said that she was - that she was. Leaving us. So when I heard the door slam shut I came out from my hiding spot, my dad noticed and told me to go back upstairs. I was so angry. I was yelling at him. Then he finally stopped. Saying he was leaving also." At the end of explaining, tears were dripping from my eyes. Warm ness is what I felt. I was wrapped in the arms of the boy I loved.

"JoJo. I'm sorry. Sorry for everything." I pulled him back and looked him in the eyes.

"You have nothing to apologize for J. None of this was your fault." A small smile washed across his face.

Ok now tell him

"Jack?"

"Hmm?" He hummed in response.

Just do it Jonah

"I. I like-like you." I felt as his soft hands intertwined with mine. I looked between our hands and him confused.

"I like-like you too." I couldn't help but to smile. He actually likes me. He likes me!

"How about - umm - I take you - uh - out?"

"Is this your way of asking me out on a date?" He smirked. I nodded my head, "Well that was kinda horrible." He joked, making me slap his arm playfully. We shared laughs. Soon the laughter died down. He stuck an earbud back in his ear.

"What you listening to?" He showed me the song. Has perfect taste in music. He offered me the other earbud which I gladly excepted.

'Highway run
Into the midnight sun
Wheels go round and round
You're on my mind'

80's music. Is the best music ever. We have officially made this our song.

This boy. He has put smiles on my face, to where my cheeks hurt.

He's definitely something different
