Champagne And Hot Tubs

I had just finished my fourth episode of sponge bob when I heard the balcony door slide open.

"Lulu?" Jonas called from the bedroom.

"I'm in the living room" I shout not taking my eyes away from the tv.

He appears around the corner and sits next to me. I glance at him, his hair was messier, like he had been running his hands through it, and his jaw was clenched. He didn't hear good news.

I turn off the tv and scoot closer to him before placing my hand on his.

"What happened?" I asked in a low voice.

"The doctors are putting dad on another medicine, as a last resort. If it doesn't help ease the pain at all then they recommend we start planning and making arrangements." He said with a weak voice.

I squeeze his hand and lay my chin in his shoulder, looking at him.

"I know that you're hurting right now baby, and I know you can't forget it. But try to relax, try to get some rest, you need it"

He lets out a breath and interlocks our fingers together before standing up and pulling me with him to the bedroom. He pulls me into the bed with him and wraps his arms around me. I pull a blanket over our bodies and snuggle into him.

"Thank you" he whispers before kissing my forehead.

"I love you"

"I love you too lulu"

I kiss his cheek and snuggle closer to him, until we're both fast asleep.

I wake up the next morning and find the bed empty. I slowly get out of bed and dressed into the clothes Jonas had packed. I pull out my jean shorts and a t shirt and put them on before putting on a pair of fuzzy socks and tying my hair up into a messy bun. I pick up my glasses from the end table and put them on my face before heading out to get food. Once I open the bedroom door I hear Jonas talking on the phone.

"Yeah I know, but I can't just pack up and leave"

"Lacey needs me right now"

"I know mom."

"Okay fine"

"Love you too"

He hangs up the phone and runs his fingers through his hair before he turns around and sees me. His face instantly turns red.

"Uh hey lulu, did you sleep good?"

"Would've been better if you were there when I woke up"

His blush reached his ears and he rubbed the back of his neck.

"I'm sorry lulu, my mom called, I didn't want to wake you so I took the call out here"

I knew this was important to him, but for some reason I felt angry at him. He wasn't telling me everything. There was something else.

I walk up to him and wrap my arms around his waist.
His arms tighten around my body and he kisses the top of my head.

He pulls away slightly so he can look me in the eyes.

"Do you wanna try out the hot tub?" He asks with a sly smile.

This was his way of telling me he was fine, and didn't want to talk.

"I didn't bring a suit"

He chuckles and grabs my hand before leading me into the bedroom and rummaging through the bag I had gone through earlier.
