Chapter 23 (Please/Rate/Comment)
"No! Are you mad? What the hell is wrong with people these days?" I spat, walking ahead of Luke, after hearing his proposition. He may be crazier than Lindsey. No I take that back. No one, is crazier than Lindsey.
"Please, Izii! I need you to do this!" He pleaded, cupping his hands together as if he were praying to me. I looked at his pleading eyes which were begging me to agree.
I grunted longingly and loudly, "Fine! I'll think about it!" I shouted crossly. Luke jumped up in front of me excitedly and hugged me tightly, leaving me grasping for air.
"Thank you! Thank you!" He whispered in my ear gleefully. I shook my head and slapped him playfully in the jaw. I shooed him away, so I could go call my mom.
Baylee saw me and was walking along with a girl, who seemed to be crying. I scrunched my eyebrows and walked over to them. Baylee looked at me with concern floating in her eyes. The girl next to her, who was folded under Baylee's arm was clearly crying.
"What's wrong?" I asked, now pulling my attention to the girl who was sobbing.
She was short, and a dirty blonde. Not the bright beach-blonde Lindsey was. She was wearing some skinny jeans matched with colorful high-tops and a white jacket, over a faded pink tee.
"Izii, this is Grace." Baylee introduced me to her.
My mind went blank and I froze. Everything me and Luke just talked about, and I almost agreed to, was standing in front of me, crying her eyes out.
I slowly put out my hand for her to shake, which she faked a smile and wiped at the lining of her eyes, which were red and puffed, her bottom lip was pouting out as she smiled, then she regained her solemn pose and continued crying.
"What's wrong?" I repeated, except this time, I could feel myself turning pale and breathing slowed.
"Luke.. Do-doesn't li-ike me." Grace stuttered between fumbled wails. My face scrunched at the mention over his name.
"He likes you." Baylee stated, looking up at me, and rubbing Grace's back. Grace look up at me, then returned crying.
"I'm so sorry." I apologized, I was feeling a huge tide of complete and utter guilt wash over me and start to slowly make it's way into my heart. which broke a little, just for Grace.
"My mom's here." Grace sniffed, looking at the car line, she wiped another tear before she hung her head and started walking towards a car.
Baylee gave me a face of sorrow, making me feel worse than I already was. I sighed heavily and watched Grace drive away.
"You know him, don't you?" Baylee asked, turning away and looking towards the street. I nodded, not looking at anything but my own feet. I heard Baylee sighed, mutter 'Bye' then started to walk towards her dad's truck. I felt really bad.
My mom soon pulled up to pick me up and I climbed in, with my face expressionless.
"You okay?" My mom asked, looking at me.
"Yeah, can you drop me off at Jonah's?" I asked, turning to her.
"Sure thing." She smiled, "Want ice cream?"
I nodded, right now, I NEEDED the comfort of ice cream.

Once mom reached Jonah's place, I thanked her, and climbed out, leaving my back-pack in the car, and bringing my cup of McFlurry. I had about half left of it, and wasn't in the mood to try and finish the remaining. I rang the door bell to Jonah's house and instantly Jonah came out, and picked me up, carrying me inside to his room. I rested my head in the crook of his neck, feeling happy to be with him.
"What's wrong?" He asked, putting me on his bed and locking the door behind him. I sighed and threw my head back, holding the ice cream up for him to take, which he did and ate it as I blew out.
"So much." I replied, no tone added to my husky breath-like voice. Jonah started to eat my ice cream as he sat next to me.
"Always is, isn't there?" He smiled, teasingly knocking on my legs.
"Of course. That's why I have you Love-bug." I answered smiling and pinching his nose, making a 'honk' noise. He smiled at me and brushing a strand of hair from my face.
"Okay, tell me exactly what happened." He insisted, bringing another spoonful of ice cream to his mouth.
"Well, me and Jasper made up. Zach was absent. And Corey and me had an awkward silence. BUT then there's now Luke." I groaned, rolling over onto my face pulling a pillow under me.
"And who is this Luke?" Jonah laughed, scooting closer to me.
"Well, he has this girl, who's crushing on him, her name is Grace. He doesn't like her, but apparently she likes him. Whatever. Anyways, Luke wants me to pose as his fake girlfriend, thinking Grace will leave him alone." I explained.
"But she won't?" Jonah implied, he had already been almost finished with my ice cream by the time I was done with the talking.
I shrugged, "I don't know. Luke offered to pay me for it."
"Are you going to do it?" Jonah asked, now picking up the little melted parts of the ice cream, which is usually left at the end of the cup.
"I would, you know. Quick money! But, well Baylee, -my best friend- is friends with her, and I saw Grace crying over Luke, and... and.... AGH! I just.. I don't know what to do!" I wailed, plunging myself into the pillows.
"Well." Jonah muttered, getting up to throw the cup away. I waited for him to return, when he did, I moved over to him and snuggled my head up in his chest, as he wrapped his arms around me, comforting me. I breathed in his sweet smell of an expensive cologne. God, I loved his smell.
"Are you sniffing me?" Jonah chuckled, resting his chin on top of my head.
"No." I lied, laughing too. I draped my arms around his neck, as he pulled me on top of him, we were laid down and I was tangled between his thighs. He smiled up as me, as he rolled over, causing me to fall to my side.
"I'm so tired, tired of drama. And just tired period." I sighed, nuzzling my way over to Jonah.
"Then go to sleep." He whispered, I felt him close his eyes and I was now buried beneath his muscular chest, one arm supporting my head and the other pulling over my waist, keeping me strapped to him.
I looked up at him, his tired face looked adorable, "Jonah?" I whispered.
He lifted his eyelids a bit, drawing his eyes to me. "Yeah?" He murmured.
"Thank you." I said, folding my head back into his chest.
"For what?" He asked.
"Being my Love-bug."
"I'll always be your Love-bug. I love you Izii."
"I love you too, Love-bug."
