"He makes me happy! Why can't you just accept that!?" I screamed. My mother didn't like Jonah, she didn't like the family he came from, she didn't like the way he looked, she sure as hell didn't like the fact that I'm dating him either.

"Because he is a no good rotten douch bag!" She yelled back, throwing her arms in the air.

"You don't even know him! For gods sake just give him a chance! I'm happy! I found a good guy! I'm sorry your past three marriages haven't worked out for you and your love life's shit!" I cried. I practically sobbed. I broke down into a million pieces in front of her, letting her see what she did.

"Hunny" she croaked, "Im sorry," she moved to give me a hug but I ran past her and into my room.

I smiled knowing Jonah always had my back.

He had a tough exterior but once you got through to him, got him to trust you, he would do anything for you. He was my saviour.

I heard a jeep engine start coming down the road and I grabbed some extra clothes, and some money. I threw on a baggy black sweater of Jonahs and some black leggings.

I walked down the stairs and look my mother dead in the eyes, bag in hand.

"Where do you think you're going?" She asked, her time hurt but mad.

"Away. For a bit. You have to understand I need space and air and I can't do that here" I admitted. She didn't try to stop me. She knew what I needed, hell she's done this exact same thing. She knew I'd be back.

I walked out of the door and right into the red jeep.

"What's wrong?" Jonah asked as soon as I closed the door.

"Life. Now drive" I ordered him. Without another word, we moved down the long dark highway to lord knows where.

It was about an hour into driving, nothing but silence filled the car as we drove.

Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Jonah pierce his lips together into a faint line. He looked over to me and lifted his hand off the gear shift, he debated whether of not to grab my own hand, but decided to do it anyways.

I didn't realize but I let a tear skip down my cheek, quick to wipe it away before Jonah saw, I spoke.

"Where are you taking me?" I asked, curiosity dripping off my tone.

"Tell me what's up first" he tried to compromise.

He once told me that if I needed a get away he would always be there for me, but it had to be a damn good reason, Jonah didn't believe in running away from problems, he believed in confronting them head on.

"I love you so fucking much Jonah" I cried, letting majority of my tears out now. He looked shocked at the sudden outburst and pulled the car over almost instantly. It was the first I love you in our six month relationship.

Gasping for air, I continued, "and just know that what I tell you next is not what I feel, I don't want it to change anything you see in me and I know it won't change anything I see in you because in the e-"

"Breathe, Jen, breathe" Jonah cut in, noticing my hyperventilating. I did as told and took a deep breath in, then a deep breath out. "Don't tell me what happened. Not yet okay?"

"B-but you said I needed a good reason and I owe you one" I argued, still trying to hold back my sobs.

"Whatever it is has you crying in my car, pulled over on the side of the road, running away from whatever it is. It's probably a good reason and I trust you. Now c'mere" he opened his arms and leaned over. I fell into his embrace and cried some more into his chest.

We pulled away slightly, Jonah moved has hands to my face, cupping my head in his hands. He looked at me for what felt like a good minute but could have only been a couple seconds. He moved quickly to press his lips into mine, kissing me with so much passion it screamed 'I LOVE YOU' 

" I will always be your ride or die because I love you so much too. You changed me for the better Jennifer, and I could not be more grateful for anything in my life" he smiled, and then turned back to the steering wheel.

"Off to San Francisco we go!" He cheered as he pulled back on to the road.

*Time Skip* 

Jonah walked out of the hotel both room in nothing but a towel hanging dangerously low, and a towel he was using to dry his hair.

I sat under the covers of our bed in his bunny hug and underwear.

He pulled a pair of grey sweatpants before moving back into the bathroom.

Emerging not even two minutes later, Jonah walked out of the bathroom and jumped on top of me. I squealed and tried to push him off of me.

"Tell me you love me" he mumbled into the crook of my neck.

"Why?" I asked, messaging his head with my fingers.

"Because it sounds nice" he admitted. I could feel him start to kiss under my ear, sucking on my skin lightly.

"I love you" I whispered into his ear. I felt him smile before he looked up to attack my face with kisses.

The moment was interrupted when I got a call. Looking to see who it was, my face and mood dropped.

"Who is it?" Jonah asked, peering down at your phone.

"My mom" you replied, no emotion to your voice.

"What was it that you were running away from again?" He asked, sitting up to straddle your waist.

"Her" you sighed, declining the call. You rolled over, causing Jonah to fall, and turned off the lamp.

"I love you Jen" Jonah whispered as he snaked his arms around my waist, pulling my body close to his, then letting the dark consume us into a peaceful slumber.
