[updated]
note: i like this chapter now, it used to be crap af, but i changed the whole ass concept and basicallt just wrote a whole new ass imagine, but it's for the better :)

FOUR YEARS AGO

It hit me a few days ago. I've always felt a certain attraction to Jonah, but I never knew why. The mark right under his eyebrow was identical to mine. I hadn't noticed that until about a week prior.

The school cafeteria was crowded, almost every junior searching for a place to eat their lunch.
I waved at Ember, my best friend, to come sit with me. Like he was attached to her body, her boyfriend followed her like a shadow.

"Whattup." Ember said as she sat down. Jonah's hand was on hers as they started eating. I felt the need to throw up at their cute ass behavior, but I couldn't, really. I greeted her, and started eating my lunch.
They soon enganged into a conversation, I wasn't apart of.
I wasn't supportive of their relationship, and Ember knew. After a few weeks of dating they realised that they weren't meant to be, the scars on their bodies completely different. They didn't let that stop them though. They felt like they loved each other, and for them it didn't matter whether they were soulmates or not. All that matters was that they were there, with each other. Me, on the other hand, I was convinced he was going to break her heart. As soon as he found his soulmate, his better half, he was going to leave her and live a better life.
I shuggred while grabbing my phone and scrolling through my feed.

"Right, y/n?" Jonah asked. His eyebrows were raised. I looked up from my phone and scanned his features, silently asking to repeat what had been said previously. That's when I noticed. The mark on his cheek, the scar right under his eyebrows. My mouth opened in shock, my finger gazing over the scar under my eyebrow. identical.

I'm pretty sure he knows, it was very obvious, I think. Although Ember didn't notice, to us it was clear. Soulmates.

When I was five, I hit my head against the coffee table, because I was jumping on the couch. My mom had to me to never jump on a couch, and you could say I learned my lesson. The wound was bleeding for hours, and I had to go to the doctor and get stitches to fix it. Apart from the scar under my eyebrow, I got away with it. It wasn't that evident on my skin, and nobody had ever noticed, until now. Jonah's scar was the same. (THIS HAPPENED TO ME)

Jonah's eyes were wide open. I always thought the first thing I would ask my soulmate about was the scars he gave me. The mark on my cheek, the scar on my kneecap. But I guess that's not the case for us.
Ember cleared her throat to get our attention.

"Everything alright over there?" She asked, awaking me from my thoughts. I nodded and glanced at her. Jonah's gaze left mine, as he started nibbing on his drink.

"Are we just going to ignore that intense stare battle, just now?" She wondered out loud. I chuckled, but stood up.

"Sorry, Em, I gotta get to class." I said, as I walked off.

It had been a few days, and now I was leaning against the sink in the girls bathroom, Jonah facing me, as both our head were faced to the floor.

"What are we going to tell her? Hey, I'm gonna have to leave you, 'cause your best friend is my soulmate?" Jonah asked. I sounded more like a thought, so I ignored him. Why? Universe, why?

PRESENT

Jonah's hand was on my thigh, his clammy fingers sticking to my grey sweatpants. Ding. My phone told me it was time to look at the results. My head was pounding, nervous for the outcome

"Let's do it together." I stated. Jonah grabbed my hand as he reached for the nightstand. I was still sitting on our bed, cross-legged. He turned the stick around, and a plus sign appeared on the test. I chuckled, sighing in relief.

"You're pregnant!" He stated excitedly. I bounced up and down on our bed, landing in his lap, and kissing his lips with passion.

"There's a human growing inside my body." I said in disbelief, a tear rolling down my cheek. He embraced me in one of his famous hugs, as we just sat there. enjoying each others presence.

After calling both our parents and his bandmates, it was now time for my friends. I looked at my contact list, scanning the names of the people in my phone. Ember. I sighed. I was nervous for her reaction. Over all, when Jonah and I started dating, she needed some time to move on and accept it, but she didn't like it of course. After a while we became friends again, but we were never as close as we used to be. It kind of broke my heart to see our relationship slowly dying, because of a boy. We still talked every now and then, and she was still one of my best friends, but deep down, I knew she wanted to be the one pregant with Jonah's baby. Especially since she hasn't found her soulmate yet. (i sincerely don't know if that was a grammatically correct sentence hah).
I clicked on her contact, and decided to call her. The dial tone repeated itself a few times before I heard her voice on the other end of the line.

"Hey y/n! whattup?" She asked. Her voice sounded satisfied, happy. I didn't know if I was going to change that.

"Ember, I'm pregnant." I stated bluntly, but excited. I heard her gasp, and when I didn't hear anything for a while, I realised she hung up. My insides sunk, feeling disappointed. I felt myself get dizzy, my stomach turning inside out. I ran towards the bathroom and emptied my stomach in the toilet. I'm sorry Ember.
