twenty-five ☆ will you go on a date with me?

jonah's pov:

we all went on a search for brooke, but i was the only person who had an idea of where she could be.

i headed straight onto the roof, and i saw her sitting and looking up at the sky.

"brooke?" i said, sitting next to her.

"oh, hey, jonah," brooke replied.

her eyes were red and puffy, and i could tell she was crying. god, i hate it when i see people cry.

"are you okay? do you want to talk?" i asked.

brooke nodded her head, "this whole situation is pretty sucky."

"yeah, but i'm still sorry about what happened between you and daniel. i know you two will fix things. after all, you're siblings," i mentioned.

"i agree. i'm sure dani will come around," brooke said.

now, i realized it would be a good time to talk about brooke and me.

"brooke," i started, "do you remember what happened before daniel ran into your room?"

brooke nodded her head, "we both said we love each other and we were about to kiss."

"yeah, you're exactly right. i just wanted to let you know that i did mean it when i told you i love you. i've been wanting to tell you that for so long," i confessed.

"jonah, i feel the exact same way," brooke remarked, facing me.

we both smiled, and headed off the roof.

-

hand in-hand, we walked back into the house. everyone was sitting in the living room in silence. when they heard the door open, their heads immediately shot up. first, daniel ran up to brooke and engulfed her in a hug.

"i'm so sorry, brookie, please forgive me," daniel apologized.

his eyes looked so puffy and red, and i could tell he was crying.

"it's okay, dani, i forgive you," brooke replied.

when they released from each other, daniel turned to me, "dude, i'm so sorry. i shouldn't have punched you."

"it's all good daniel," i responded, giving him a hug.

"wait, hold on, are you guys dating? you walked in here holding hands," corbyn asked.

"well, we would need daniel's permission on that," brooke teased, looking up at her brother.

daniel looked at the two of us, and laughed, "okay, fine, you guys can date. just don't do anything stupid."

"yes! bronah is real!" zach cheered.

brooke and i laughed, and we gave each other a huge hug.

-

when brooke and i were privately hanging out, i decided it was the perfect time to properly ask her to go on a date with me.

"brooke?" i asked.

her head lifted from her book, "yeah, jonah?"

"since we're alone, i thought right now would be the perfect time to ask you this," i started, "will you go on a date with me?"

"hmm... i'll think about it," brooke replied.

"okay, just let me know whenever," i said, about to exit her room.

"i thought about it, and the answer is yes," brooke remarked, right as my hand touched her door handle.

i smiled, and gave her a hug.
