"STOP!" I screamed at him.
Just before he made contact someone busted through the door.
"Touch her and I will kill you!" The boy yelled.
Roger pulled his fist back and I quickly ran to the boy. He hugged me comfortingly and walked me next door to what I assumed was his apartment. He led me to his couch where I let it all out. The boy sat there with me and didn't over step any boundaries.
When I stopped crying I look the boy straight on the eye.
"Thank you," I tell him.
"Nobody deserves to be treated that way, especially someone as amazing as you. I've seen what you do with kids and the homeless. Your amazing," he compliments.
"Wow, thank again,' I say with a chuckle at the end.
"My name is Jonah by the way," he introduced.
"I'm Y/n," I replied.
"Look I know this is weir but you can sleep here tonight. I can also pay for a hotel if you would like."
"I don't really have anywhere to go and I can't get you back. I kind of lost my family when I moved out and well he was the last thing I had but things got... complicated."
"You can sleep in my guest room and I don't care if you can't pay me back if you want to go to a hotel."
"I'll just sleep in the guest room, I have to find some place to go and I'll be more focused here than in a hotel filled with snack."
"I keep it cleaned and ready for anyone so you can go now."
I nod and walk to the bedrooms. The apartment was set to like mine so I knew where to go.
When I got in the room, I layed down. I thought about everything but stayed strong. Once I was done feeling sorry for myself, I looked on my phone. My friends left me during to Together and when I left at 18, my family just forgot about me.
I had to find somewhere to go and quick. Jonah won't let me stay here and can't go back, not this time. My thoughts were interrupted with a knock on the door.
"Hey, I just wanted to know if you ate," I heard Jonah ask.
"Don't waste any money or food on me, I'll be fine," I decline.
" I already ordered a pizza for us so your eating or it will waste," he argues.
I sigh in defeat and hear him leave.
Two weeks To
I'm still am living with Jonah and stressed as hell but somehow he makes it okay. When I wake up there's always breakfast and if not take-out along with a note. He makes me feel safe and I know that it's really fast and we aren't even dating but for me it's not fast. I haven't been in love with Roger for awhile. He just had the title as my boyfriend but it didn't mean anything. With Jonah it's different. He's the person that I can't wait to see everyday and don't want to go to bed at night.
I was just sitting on the couch watching T.v. Jonah was out doing whatever so I was just chilling at the apartment. I was in the middle of an episode of 'The End of the F***ing World'(HIGHLY RECOMMENDED BY ME!) when he barged through the door. He sat down next to me with a box of chocolates and red roses. I paused the episode and looked him in the eye.
"What's going on?" I question.
"Y/n I like you. Hell I love you! Saving you from tat dickhead next door was the best decision I've ever made and not just because that beautiful face of yours, but because I got to meet you and talk to you. I know this may be hard for you and you may not trust me but-" Jonah rambles but I talk over him.
"Jonah Marais if you don't stop rambling kiss me right now I swear I will hurt you," I say with a chuckle.
Lucky for me he listened and leaned in. I felt him smile through the kiss which made me smile. We pulled away and probably looked like idiots with our big grins but we didn't mind.
"So will you be my girlfriend?" Jonah asks.
"Do you think I kiss everyone?" I jokingly ask.
"So yes?"
I roll my eyes and kiss Jonah again.
"Does that answer you?"
"Loud and clear!" Jonah says with chuckle.
