Stepbrother- A Why Don't We Imagine [DISCONTINUED]

Chapter 5

I walk into the house and slam the front door. My dad comes walking out of the kitchen, "Hey honey what's wrong?". I look at him and I feel tears starting to roll down my cheeks. "You ruined my life!", I yelled and ran upstairs. I go to my room and slammed the door. I slowly slid down to the ground crying. It was uncontrollable. I couldn't help myself. I've been pushing down all of my feelings and they've finally exploded. I get up and look at the picture of me and my mom and I whisper to her, "I miss you mom". I wipe my tears and pick up my backpack to start my homework. I sat down at my bed and opened my notebook. A piece of paper fell out of it. I picked it up and remembered that Jonah gave me his number.
Text message:
Y: hey this is y/n
J: hey wasn't thinking you'd actually put my number in your phone lol
Y: why would you think that? anyways wanna hang out? like now
J: yeah i'll pick you up right now
End of text message

I smiled after he sent that text. I put my phone down and retouch my makeup so it doesn't look like I was crying. A couple minutes laters Jonah texts me that he's here. I look at myself in the mirror one more time and opened my door. I get downstairs and I make eye contact with Zach. I just rolled my eyes. I saw that Myta and my dad weren't home so I started walking towards the front door. "Where are you going?", Zach asked. I turn around and cross my arms and say, "none of your business". He looks out the window and sees Jonah's car and rolls his eyes. "Really? Jonah?". I look at him turn around and walk out slamming the door. I got into Jonah's car and he said, "Hey gorgeous. Glad you texted", he smiled. I blush a little. Did he just call me gorgeous? "Glad you answered", I said smiling. Then we drove off.

Zach's POV
I watch y/n get into the car and drive off with Jonah. I'm furious. I swear if he does anything to hurt her I will kill him. Wait, why do I care so much if she hangs out with Jonah?

Your POV
We drive for about 20 minutes and get to a nice park. We get out of the car and start walking throughout the park. There were so many trees and flowers everywhere, it was beautiful. We walk for a little and we finally get to a little area by a lake that's hidden in the park. "This place is so beautiful", I say in awe. "Just like you", he says coming closer to me. We stare at each other for what feels like eternity. After awhile we break our gaze from each other. We sit down on the grass and just take in all the nature. I looked at him, "how did you find this place?", I asked him. He looks at me with a tiny smile and says, "it's my place". "You're place to take girls to?", I asked jokingly. He gives a little laugh, "No, I come here by myself. Until now". I blush a little. But why me? Why take me? "What made you change your mind?", I ask. He looks down at the ground. "I don't know. I know we just met today but I feel like we have this certain connection you know and I thought I'd get to know you at my favorite spot". I look at him and smile because I knew we had this weird connection where I knew I could trust him easily. So we talk for awhile and get to know each other until...
"So how'd you get stuck being Zach's stepsister?", he asked. I look down and I try to think of what I should say. Should I tell him the truth? The partial truth? Or just lie? I feel like I could trust Jonah which is weird for me since I don't trust anyone as easily, but with Jonah, I don't know it's just magical. "Look I never told anyone this, not even Zach knows," -I begin to say, "but about 9 months ago my mom passed away". After I said that his face goes from smiling to neutral. "And I don't know it just kills me inside to know that my dad moved on so fast, I mean don't get me wrong I'm happy my dad has found someone that helps distract him from my mom-", I get cut off, "-but?", he says. "But he just moved on way too fast and didn't tell me about Zach's mom until a couple of days ago.", I finish. I look down at the ground but before Jonah speaks he lifts my chin up with his fingers. "I'm sorry about your mom and how fast your dad moved on, but just know I'm here if you ever need to talk to someone.". I look at his beautiful hazelish eyes and smile. A couple of tears fall down my cheeks, not because I'm sad but because I'm happy I can finally open up to someone.
