the boys behind me

chapter 7

The school year was finally coming to an end, but we still had a month and a half left.

The weeks went by very slow but I managed to get by.

Prom was in a week, and I was going to go with Luke. He had surprised me last week and asked me. I of course said yes.

I was sitting in math class when my phone lit up, it was a text from Luke.

Luke😘❣️
hey I need to talk to you asap

Emma
about what? just text me...

Luke😘❣️
I can't :(

Emma
and why not?

Luke😘❣️
I just can't...see me after school

Emma
ugh whatever

"Emma! Phone please" my teacher shouted.

"Sorry" I say and hand her my phone.

The day couldn't have gone by slower, but it was finally the weekend.

I got my phone back and checked my notifications.

Luke😘❣️
Hey meet at my locker.
Are you coming??
I need to talk!!
???

Emma
sorry I got my phone taken away I'm omw

I walk over to Luke's locker and gave him a hug.

"Hey what's up?" I asked.

"I-I don't know how to say this" Luke said hesitantly.

"Say what?" I asked with a questioned face.

"I-I don't w-wanna b-be in a rela-relationship anymore" he said with a sad look on his face.

Hearing him say those words just made me want to collapse and bawl my eyes out. I stormed away not saying anything to him.

"Emma wait!" Luke shouted.

"SCREW YOU!" I yelled back.

I got in my car and started driving.

I didn't want to go straight home because my parents were home from their vacation, so I went to see if the boys were home.

I drove up and parked my car in their driveway, slamming the door shut. I walked up and started pounding on their door hoping they'd answer.

I heard Jonah's voice coming close to the door, then it opens.

"Emma!" he says with a smile.

I stand there with tears rolling down my face.

"Wait hey what's wrong?" He says and steps out of the house opening his arms for a hug.

I love his hugs, they make me feel safe.

"L-Luke broke up with me" I say shedding even more tears.

"And I'm sorry for getting tears all over your shirt, I didn't know who else to go to" I say sobbing more.

"Hey Em, I don't care about my shirt, I care about you. Come in, the boys are inside" he says grabbing my hand and pulling me in.

"Can I use the bathroom first" I ask.

"Of course, meet in the kitchen when you're done" he replies.

"Thank you Jonah" I say and wipe the tears from my face.

I finish in the bathroom and walk into the kitchen.

The silence in the room made me figure that jonah had already told the boys about the breakup.

Jonah came back up to me and hugged me tight, and shortly after each boy joined the hug.

We stood in a group bug for a few minutes till I finally broke it because I couldn't breath.

"That's it, we are gonna go to the store and get you some things, Jonah you stay here with her while we are gone" Jack says walking out of the kitchen and waving the other boys to follow.

The 4 boys walked out the door.

Jonah and I went and walked over to the couch and sat down.

I buried my head in his chest and shed more tears.

I looked up and him, "I'm sorry" I say.

"For what?" He asked with a confused look.

"I got more tears all over your shirt" I reply.

"Hey I already told you I don't care about my shirt" he replied cupping my face with his hands.

I sat closer to him, knowing I'd be safe in his arms.

He leaned closer to me, and before I knew it our lips were touching, it felt right but I couldn't, it was too soon.

I pulled away slowly, "Jonah...I-I can't" I say.

Before he could say anything I got up and stormed out of the house.

Jonah got up and tried to follow me home but the boys had gotten back and Jonah paused.

I slowed down to look at him. He was crying. I don't think I've ever seen him cry.

"What the hell happened" Zach asked as he got out of the car.

"I don't wanna talk about it" jonah said walking back inside.

The boys all let me go and went inside.

I walked into my house. Only to be greeted by my mom with a giant smile across her face.

"Why are you smiling so big" I ask, still wiping tears from my face.

"Oh honey what's wrong? Maybe the reason I'm smiling will cheer you up" she said grabbing my arm and pulling me into the kitchen.

I was confused, but I turned the corner and faced the kitchen...

"ARE YOU SERIOUS!" I screamed and stormed out of the house.
