The Setup

Love

"Well, I thought I was just another random girl you picked up at a meeting"

Jonah's hand dropped along with his smile and he let out a sigh. He dropped eye contact, making me believe I never should've brought up that conversation

"I couldn't let her know you were my girlfriend. If things went south, that would've made you a weak point for me. I want to keep you safe, doll face. I'm sorry, I should've told you I was going to say that" I nodded my head so he knew I heard him.

"Don't go questioning my love for you now, I will do anything and everything it takes so you know that I love you" Jonah let out a light laugh as he pinched my cheeks

My smile dropped each time he mentioned the word love. I hadn't said it back to him yet, I didn't know how. I didn't think I was capable of love, everyone I loved, left.

Jonah looked at me, rubbing a thumb on my cheek as he watched my mind break. He tilted my chin up, placing a light kiss on my chapped lips

"You don't have to say it back until you're ready, take all the time you need, Y/n. I'm not leaving you" Jonah smiled as if he read my thoughts

Jonah wrapped his large hand around the back of my neck, pulling me back in to kiss my lips. Jonah placed his other hand on my back, pulling me closer, causing me to arch my back.

He ran his hand down my back, going down my butt and to my thigh. Chills ran down my spine as the kiss got more aggressive, almost hungry like.

Jonah's lips tasted like cigarette and bourbon, making me question how he got the alcohol with Corbyn around.

Jonah grabbed onto the bottom hem of my sweater, pulling it up and sliding his warm hands up my bare back.

"Uh, can we have a house meeting when you're done fucking on the chair?" Sophia's soft voice chuckled as I pulled back from Jonah, resting my forehead on his shoulder, completely embarrassed

"We'll be there in a minute" Jonah laughed as he threw up his arm, giving her a thumbs up

As I heard the door close, Jonah and I bursted into a fit of giggles

"I thought you said they don't sneak up on you" I swatted Jonah's chest as I tried to slow down my heart rate from Sophia's scare.

"I heard her coming, I just didn't want to stop" Jonah's voice lowered as he slowly attached his lips to my neck, leaving a trail of wet kisses to my ear

"Come on, we should get inside" I bit my lip, craving more but I pushed his shoulders back, releasing myself from his touch as he fell back onto the chair

"I'll be there in like, 5 minutes" Jonah sighed as I got up from his lap, seeing the situation I accidentally caused.

"Come on, I'll sit on your lap to cover it" I grabbed Jonah's hand, pulling him to sit up

"Oh yeah, that'll totally make this situation better" Jonah sarcastically rolled his eyes, standing up from the chair

We walked back into the house, seeing Corbyn already sat on the couch, nervously bouncing his leg as Sophia was already standing in front of the turned off tv.

Jonah sat down, grabbed my hand and pulled me down onto his lap. He let out a loud breath as I hit his lap.

"What's going on, baby?" Corbyn broke the silence, not being able to sit still

"I'll make this quick, uh, I need a spare room, or I need to move out" Sophia tried to boost out confidently but it came out shaky

I smiled, knowing what was going on, but Corbyn had panic arise on his face as he pushed himself off the couch.

"Sophia, if you're breaking up with me, can you not do it in front of them? Can we go to our room to talk?" Corbyn quickly wrapped his arms around Sophia as she started breaking down in tears.

Corbyn's tall body towered over Sophia, her no more than 5'3 height was no match for his.

"What? You're-?" Corbyn pulled back holding the pregnancy test in hand, it must've been in her back pocket

"Yeah" She whispered

Jonah kissed the side of my head as we watched Corbyn pick Sophia up, spinning her around the living room.

I shifted myself in Jonah's lap, causing him to let out a low groan, throwing his head back.

"I'm gonna kill you if you keep doing that, doll face" Jonah whispered seductively into my ear.

What was once a silly phrase, now held so much power. My mind started playing images of the blonde, bleeding out on the concrete of the parking lot.

The images created a lump in my throat, telling me I'd throw up at any second.

I jumped up from Jonah's lap, racing past the happy couple, to the downstairs bathroom.

I raced in, slamming the door behind me. I fell to my knees, throwing up into the toilet.

The door opened up and I put my hand out to stop whoever it is, I didn't want them to see me like that.

"It's okay, doll face" Jonah dropped down beside me, grabbing my hair so it wasn't in my way.

"What? Are you pregnant too?" Corbyn's laugh was heard from the door way

"Fuck off Corbyn" Jonah defended

"What? I just think it'd be funny if Sophia and
Y/n were-"

"Well she's not, so leave it alone"

"We'll wait out here" Sophia grabbed Corbyn's arm, dragging him from the door frame

"What's going on, doll face?"

I stood up, flushing the toilet before closing the door. I turned on the sink, starting to wash my hands when Jonah reached around me to shut off the tap.

"Y/n, seriously, what's going on?" Jonah grabbed my waist to spin me around. He lifted me up and set me down on the bathroom counter

"We have to talk about what happened, the
guy-"

"No"

"Jonah, if we don't talk about this, I can't do this anymore" I jumped off the counter, opening the door before I looked back at Jonah

"I can't" He whispered

"Then I'm leaving" I walked through the door going up to his room to grab my things

"Where do you plan on going?! You have no where else to stay!" Jonah shouted as he ran up the stairs

"I'll sleep in my car! I don't know!"

I threw my clothes into the same backpack I once brought it all in. Not all of it fit that time, since Jonah bought me some new clothes. I only packed what I thought I'd need to stay warm at night, I'd go back for the rest later.

"I'm not letting you leave" Jonah's voice came up behind me as his chest pressed to my back

"Then talk to me about it Jonah. You killed him, why did you do that?"

"I told you why" Jonah's head lowered so I felt his breath on the side of my neck

"I need to know more details, Jonah" I let out a shaky breath as his lips connected to my skin, leaving me in a trance

"I'll tell you tomorrow, but for now, can you just get naked so I can make love to you?"
