Jonah struggled to breathe. Emma did NOT just tell him that...! Why now! Why? Jonah mentally groaned and said, "You love me? When did this happen?"

"When we were in your bedroom. Jonah, is this wrong?"

There was a silence so long, that Emma nearly was screaming, "Jonah...? JONAH?"

"I'm here...! No. There's nothing wrong...but Alison..."

"Who cares, Jonah? She would understand if you tell her...right?"

Jonah gulped. "Right. We've been friends since we were kids."

"I'll be there in a quick minute. Bye..."

"Bye, Em."

Jonah groans.

Why did girls had to difficult all the damn time? When the horn beeped, Jonah slowly got up and went to answer the door before being tackled by his younger brother.

"Ahh! Dammit, Kenzie!"

"C'mon, bro! Time for payback!"

"Payback for what?!"

"I'm on Team Emma."

Jonah pushed him off, making Kenzie fall on his butt.

"Bro. She's outside. And I didn't DO anything!"

"Aw yea, like making a poor innocent girl cry isn't 'doing anything wrong'."

Jonah rolls his eyes as he was walking to the door, opening it, before being face-to-face with Emma. They both blush and looked away. Kenzie smiles.

"Emma! Dear Emma!", he says as he hugs her, gloating at his older brother, as if Jonplayed againsyah wasn't gonna beat him up.

Jonah rolls his eyes. "Hey Em."

"Hey, you guys. How are you guys anyway?"

"I'm good. Though Kenzie nearly tried to kill me earlier."

"Wrestling again, Ken? I TOLD you'll hurt yourself."

Kenzie rolls his eyes as Jonah smirks.

"Listen to 'Dear Emma' here, Mackenzie.", jokes Jonah before Kenzie growls and left the room before saying, "You'll rue the day!"

"Ok, Nevel.", says Jonah as his younger brother left.

Emma smiles shyly as she sat on the comfy black couch that his father sat whenever the Patriots went up against the Bucs and Tom Brady. Ugh. His father was obnoxious when it came to football. Jonah loved the man dearly...but...

"Hey, Jonah."

"Oh, hey, Em. What's up...?"

"Sit next to me."

Jonah slowly sat next to Emma, who for some reason, had her mess of hair straightened with a red bang covering her right eye. God, she was beautiful.

Keep your dick in your pants, Kinlock. Emma's just a girl. A...hot girl.

"Emma, you know I respect you and Alison. But...I don't think I'm ready...mentally."

"Why...?"

"Why? Well...umm..."

Dammit, me! Give a damn answer!

"You'll be my first time."

"Uh..."

"I mean-"

"I get it..."

"It doesn't mean I'm not a virgin-which I am-"

"Jonah. I'm not asking for sex.", jokes Emma.

Jonah chuckles despite himself. "Of course not. Kenzie will kill me."

"Ah, yes. Dearest Mackenzie."

They both laughed at that and looked at each other. God, how Jonah missed Emma. He also missed Alison. He missed the band.

"Will you at least think about me...I mean...this?"

Jonah nods his head.

"Ok. Thank you."

Emma hesitates at first but later kisses Jonah upon his lips. As she got to leave, she started to scream. Jonah jumped up to see who was at the door...which was Rowan DeVries, who cast a sleep spell on the both of them.
