The Unexpected// Why Don't We

Part 36.

Ellen's POV:

I woke up this morning and went into the Kitchen/Living room area of the bus. Considering we were staying on a bus it actually felt quite homely which I definitely wasn't expecting. I went into the kitchen and grabbed a glass of water and then sat on the sofa for a bit just scrolling through Instagram. I noticed that I had been tagged in so many fan accounts asking if Jonah was ok. 

I was just as confused as the limelights were, they were all worried about him and honestly if they found out about all the things that were happening with the band right now they would loose their shit. I was just looking through Dellen edits and I came across a few Korbyn ones. I mean I totally forgot that they hadn't announced their breakup yet. Jesus Christ we are in one hell of a situation right now. First tour starts tonight and Jack and Corbyn van hardly look at each other, the fan still think Corbyn and Kitty are dating even though she wants to be with Jack now, and she's FUCKING PREGNANT, and to top that all off Jonah is upset and nobody knows why.

I just decided to pit my phone away and stop stressing myself out and instead have a shower before any of the boys woke up. I went in the bathroom and took a shower. Tonight was the first day of tour so I shaved my legs and washed my hair so that I could actually look good on stage. Once I was done in the shower I brushed my teeth and did my skincare routine. I put my pjs back on and left the bathroom. 

Jonah was up now and he was just on his phone, he looked up at me as I walked out of the bathroom and he smiled at me.

"Hey Jo" I said sitting down next to him

"hey" he said putting his phone away and focusing on me

"Do you wanna talk about what's going on?" I asked 

"What do you mean?" He asked as if nothing is happening 

"Well you just seem really upset and distant recently and the picture you posted last night, Everyone is really worried about you Jo" I said putting my hand on his shoulder

"Yeah I know I just looked through Instagram and Twitter" He said looking down at the ground 

"You can tell me anything you know" I said 

He lifted his head back up and looked me in the eyes

"I know I can Ellen, but I just need to sort this out by myself and I don't wanna hurt anyone os I don't really want to explain it" he said looking back at the ground again

"Hey I'm sure whatever it is will get better, and just promise me one thing" I said

"What's that?" He asked

"Promise me you won't let this ruin tour for you because I know how much performing means to you and I would hate for you to feel down before going onstage" I said 

"Ok, I promise" He said looking up with a weak smile 

I pulled him into a hug and then the boys walked out if the bedroom. I mean of course they would just when I am trying to make Jonah feel better they are gonna come and bombard him with about a million questions.

I got up from the sofa and they sat down with Jonah, I mean I don't know what is up with him but the boys are closer to him than I am so I went into the bedroom hoping that he would tell them what is on his mind.

Jonah's POV:

Ellen wrapped me in a hug and being in her arms just felt so natural. I know she doesn't feel the same way about me as I do about her but I just wish I could tell her how I feel without messing anything up. 

She was so concerned about me and I just wanted to tell her exactly what was on my mind but I know if I do our friendship will be destroyed and even though I want to be more than friends, if that is the only relationship I can have with her I don't want to screw it up.
