When Distress Meets Distress - S01 E74

Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 74

“My father wanted to talk to you,” I said between

breaths.

“What? So you make me look like I’m some rude

guy who just picks up his daughter and leaves?”

Jonah asked, turning to look at me as we arrived at a

red light. I shook my head.

“He wanted to talk to you about…other things, not

about sports,” I told him and it clicked in his mind.

His cheeks tainted pink and he nodded, silence

overtaking the car.

When we were approaching the store, I decided to

break the silence. “What are we getting?”

“Just a few things,” Jonah replied with a mysterious

look on his face. I furrowed my eyebrows.

“There isn’t going to be a party there, right?” I asked

him and he shook his head.

“My Aunt and Uncle would never allow that; it’s just

going to be 6 people,” he told me and I furrowed my

eyebrows.

Jonah, Sabrina, Sierra, Georgia, Me, and…who else?

“Who else is going to be there?” I curiously

questioned.

“Their name starts with a ‘W’,” he informed me. I felt

my heart sink for some reason. Waverly.

When we got out of the car and went into the store,

the Christmas decorations helped to distract me.

Why are they still out? It’s December 31st. “Let’s go,”

Jonah murmured from beside me.

Jonah led me to the toy isle and he began searching

for something. He wouldn’t tell me what it was so I

couldn’t help him. When he found it, he put it into

the basket. When I tried to peek into the basket, he

pushed my shoulder away. “Nu-uh-uh.”

I glared at him before slowly letting myself fall

behind. He continued getting things and placing them

in the black basket. When we finally reached the

checkout line, he turned to look at me, taking my

hand and placing something in it. “Can you please go

start the car?”

“You trust me to start your car?” I asked him with

raised eyebrows and he stiffly nodded his head as if

he regretted his decision. I smirked.

“I’ll try not to crash it,” I walked out of the store and

approached the car. I unlocked it before getting into

it. I shivered slightly; it’s so cold. Thank you, captain

obvious. I put on my seat belt, so we can be safe. I

revved the engine, listening to the soft purring before

I turned on the heat and drove up to the entrance of

the store. Jonah looked utterly terrified.

When I switched sides, Jonah quickly placed the

bags in the backseat before getting into his car. “Did

the bad lady hurt you, baby?”

I furrowed my eyebrows as he pet his steering

wheel. “Overreacting, all I did was waste 95% of

your gas.”

Immediately, his eyes darted to me. “I told you to

start the car not bring her around.”

“I drive like a pro, anyway,” I snorted and I could see

a ghost of a smile on his face but he maintained his

angry look.

“We all ‘drive like a pro’ until we crash into a

building,” he muttered as he drove out of the parking

lot. I winked at him before turning towards the

window. Why’d you do that, you idiot?

~~~

“How much longer?” I asked as he drove down what

seemed to me like endless roads. He rolled his eyes.

“10 minutes,” he replied casually as he drummed

against the steering wheel to a song on the radio.
