Harmony's pov

"Why would you do that to me! I needed you, I loved you. That's the only reason I went to that damn party the night of prom. I just wanted to talk about us!" I knew letting him stay here was a mistake.

"I'm sorry" he says as he walks out of my room. "Jonah!" I run out of my room, he turns and looks at me. "I-is this really how we're ending us?" He grabs my hand, "Just for a while, we will be together again! I love you Harmony Thatcher"

A tear falls down my face, "I love you too Jonah Anderson"

___________________________

It's been a month since that night, I see him around school with Drayden. Occasionally I catch him looking my way, I can't help but miss him so much.

I walk through the hall of the school, I felt as if everyone stared at me. I let out a sigh, "Hey" I turn around to see ally walking over to me. "Hey" she smiles as we lock arms together and start to walk. As we're walking, Jonah walks in with Drayden and a couple of other guys.

"Hey Jonah!" Mia runs up to him, "party at mine?" He smirks, "ah, thanks for the offer. I'm going to have to turn you down.... I don't hook up with anyone anymore" he walks away without saying another word.

I look away, a part of me was relieved. The other part of me, wanted him. We graduate soon, I guess I thought we would still be together after high school. I couldn't help but to feel like a part of me was lost.

"Have you heard from NYU or UCLA?" Ally looks at me, "um not yet...it should be soon". She smiles, "what are you smiling about?" She smiles, "I got into UCLA!" I gasp with excitement. "Oh my goodness!! Congratulations!" I pull her into a hug.

"So did Jonah apply anywhere?" I shrug, "I really don't know" I say, she rolls her eyes. "Shit, I'm late for work! Bye harm!" I laugh as she runs away.

I walk to the student parking lot, Jonah and drayden was sitting on the tailgate of his truck. I walk past, Jonah looks up from the ground and locks eyes with me.

He gives me a small smile. "Hey Harm!" Drayden smiles at me. "Hey Dray!" He smiles, "you coming tonight?" I look at him confused. "To what?" He smirks. "Our party, duh!" I smile.

I look at Jonah, who was looking at the ground. "Um, yea. I'll be there!" He smiles.

I walk to my car and put my things in. I slide into my car and drive off.

"JACKSON, I'M HOME!" I yell as I walk up the stairs to my room.
I sat on my bed and started to open my email. I see the email from UCLA, "JACKSON!" I scream, "JACKSON!" I scream again. He runs into my room, "WHATS WRONG?" He yells as he holds a baseball bat. "I got the email" he smiles, "open it!" I look at him worried, "you do it!" He rolls his eyes, then walks over to my bed. He grabs the laptop and clicks the email, "Harm! You got in!" I was filled with excitement. "AHHHH!" I pull him into a hug.
"Congratulations harm! I'm so proud of you!" I smile, "I guess I'll see you around campus!" He smiles, "I can't be caught associating with my little sister" he playfully jokes.
He laughs as he gets up and walks out of my room. I need to tell Jonah! I get up and start to get dressed. I pull on a white crop top and a black leather mini skirt, with my black converses. I curl my hair and put my makeup on.
I look in the mirror, I look like the old me. My tattoo is easily seen, I rub my hand across it. I smile, I remember getting it with Jonah.
I grab my keys and walk downstairs, "bye Jackson!" I say as I walk out of the door. I walk to my car and jump in. I pull out and drive off.
____________________________________
I pull up at Jonah's house, the yard was filled with cars. How does the cops not notice this? I roll my eyes, I get out of my car. I walk over to the door and walk in, Music was blasting. I walk around and look for Jonah, I see Drayden waving me over.

I walk over to Drayden, "Hey!" He said as he wraps his arm around my shoulder. "Guess what?" He smiles, I laugh. "What dray?" He points at me. "You got a hold on Jonah!" I roll my eyes, "and you are obviously drunk" I laugh at him.

"He's by the pool" he winks at me. "Thanks!" I walk off to look for him. I see Mia talking to him, I'm about to regret what I'm going to do. I walk over to the kitchen and take some shots of vodka. I grab the bottle and pretend to be drunk.

I walk out to the pool and over to Jonah, "jooonnahhh!" He looks up at me, I fake stumble. I walk close to him and fall into his lap. I pull him into a kiss, he puts his hand on my cheek. "Um excuse, we were talking." I look up at her and smile. "Oh sorry, I don't care!" She scoffs then stumps away. "Is she gone?" I look up.

"Your welcome" he starts to laugh, "wow, you little faker!" I laugh, then I realize I was still sitting in his lap. "Oh I'm sorry!" He smiles, I start to stand. He pulls me back down, "you don't want to do that!" My mouth drops open, "Jonah Anderson!" He starts to smile, "your the one that kissed me!" I roll my eyes, "it's not my fault that you can't control your little friend!" I laugh.

"Wanna know something?" He looks at me and smiles, "what?" He smiles. "I got in to UCLA." I start to fill with excitement once more. "No fucking way! I did too!" He smiles, "babe that's awesome!" His eyes widen, "harm I'm sorry!" I smile.

"It's okay, really!" He smiles, "I really do miss you" I smile, "I've missed you too, since you don't talk to me anymore!"he rolls his eyes.

"You don't talk to me!" I roll my eyes, "do you want to go talk?" I look at him, "um...yea, but no makeup sex!" He smiles, "walk in front of me, please!" I laugh, I stand up, and we start to walk to his room.

We walk inside and up the stairs. "Damn" he plops down on the bed. "Look, before you say something. Allow me to explain this. I fucked up, I should have never asked you to join a gang to just be with me. I should have never wanted to keep you a secret. That was my biggest mistake, I feel like I used you like a booty call. I took your virginity, I threw it around by not asking you to be my girlfriend sooner. I'm sorry, if I could go back and change it I would. The whole Mia shit, yes I hooked up with her a couple of times. That was before I was doing anything with you." He looks at the ground," yes, there's a picture of us when I got tattoos with you. We were still just best friends, nothing more." He looks up at me and stands up.

"I didn't even hook up with her that night, I couldn't get you out of my head." He walks over to me and grabs my hands. "I need you harm", I look at me. I smile, "I forgave you a long time ago, I've been waiting for you to talk to me." He smiles, "I want to take things slow, Jonah." He nods, "no gangs, I'm not doing it!" He nods, "I don't want that for us..." he looks at me confused.

"Us?"he looks at me confused, "yea, it's dangerous. We're just teenagers! I've gotten beat, shot and almost killed. Not to mention how many times that you've been shot." He looks away, I pull my shirt off. "Look at me, the scars that I've gotten just being in this." He looks at me. He rubs his hand across my scars, "Harm, I can't just quit...." I sigh.

"Yes you can, I did!" He sighs, "I also got the shit beat out of me for it." My mouth opened. "It pays good money harm..." he walks over to the window and leans against the wall.

I pull my shirt back on, "I don't want to lose you"he looks at me. "Your not going to, I know what I'm doing.  I promise."

I look at him and give him a small smile. A tear falls down my face, I back away and walk out of his room. I walk to my car, I see Jonah looking out of his window at me. I pull out my phone, and text him.

Me: Just be careful
Jonah: I always am.
Me:I'm serious.
Jonah:I will, I promise.
___________A Month Later_________
It's two in the morning, here I am in a tattoo shop. How did I get here? Well, it started out as look for tattoos online. I saw one that fell in love with, it goes from your butt cheek, up your back and stops at your shoulder.

My thigh all the way to my shoulder is completely numb. The The man has been working on me since 11 pm, there's no going back now.
I must have fallen asleep, when I woke up the man was finished.  He looks at me and smiles," your all done miss! That'll be $150" I small and hand him $200. "Thank you!" He smiles, "anything for Jonah's girl!" I smile.

I walk out to my car and drive home. When I get home, Jonah's truck is in the driveway. I get out of the car and walk inside, I walk into the living room. It was empty, "Jackson?" I yell.
"Jonah?" I yell, I walk upstairs. "Ugh" I walk in Jackson's room. There were playing the PlayStation, both the look up at me. "Hey?" They smile, "Hey harm!" They both say.
"How long have you been here? You didn't text me." Jonah looks at his phone. "Uh. Since three this morning. Where were you?" My eyes widened. "Um..." I say then back out of the room and close the door.
I ran to my room and closed the door. I haven't really seen my tattoo yet, so I take off my shirt and shorts. I look in the mirror, "holy shit!" This looks amazing.
The door swings open, it's Jonah.

"Holy shit!" He walks in and closes the door. "Damn" he bites his bottom lip.
"Have you never seen a tattoo before?" He smiles, "well yeah, but I didn't expect this! Damn! Jaiden called and said you came in, but he wouldn't tell me what you got!" I roll my eyes. "He referred to me as Jonah's girl" he smiles, "I'm not your girl! I'm simply your-" he smiles. "My what?" I gulp, he walks closer to me. "Best friend" he laughs. "But yet, you still standing here naked." I roll my eyes, I pick up my clothes and walk into my closet.

"You know best friends don't do that!" He laughs, "yes and best friends aren't supposed to have sex either! But, we did!" He sits on my bed. "The best sex at that" I roll my eyes, "please stop!" He smiles.
"How's it been?" I smile, "since yesterday when you texted me or called me?" He thinks for a minute, "called at 7 last night" he smiles.
"I laid in bed, looked at tattoos then I wanted one, and I went at 11pm and got it." I shrug, "I would have gone with you" he sighs, "I thought you were busy" I say as I walk out of the closet.
"Um, I was in bed all alone." He winks at me, "how bad did it hurt?" He looks at me. "Um, he numbed me and then I fell asleep!" I smile, he starts to laugh.
"I guess, I'll go hangout with Jackson." He stands up, I grab his hand. "Hangout with me..." I smile, he rolls his eyes.
"Come in here with me" I roll my eyes and stand up. "Ugh okay" he pulls me to Jackson's room,"hey Jackson" he looks up, Jonah sits on the couch. He pulls me into his lap, he smirks.
"So where were you?" I smile, "she got a tattoo" he smiles. "Oh really?" Jackson cracks, "it's hot" Jonah winks at me.
"He gets to see?" I smile, "he walked in on me, it starts at my thigh and ends at my shoulder. "Moms going to freak" I laugh, "she's never here, and I turn 18 next week" Jonah smiles. "Damn, that's going to be a hell of a night." Jonah laughs.
I look at him confused, "what're you talking about?" He smiles. "Nun ya" I sigh.
"Are you staying in the dorms at UCLA?" Jackson looks at me. "Um... maybe but I thought about getting an apartment" Jonah looks at me, "with ally" Jonah clenched his jaw.
"We should get one together" Jackson smiles, "Me, ally, you, and Jonah" I smile.
"Yes! We could get a 4 bedroom" Jackson rolls his eyes, "if you think that I'm going to sleep in a room with my girlfriends room right next to mine, you crazy!" I laugh.
"And there's no way that you and Jonah will stay in separate rooms." I roll my eyes. "What do you think Jonah?" He smiles.
"Yea, I'm not staying in a room by yours" he runs his hand up my shirt and rubs my back. "I think it's a good idea to have 4 rooms" I say once more.

"Fine" they both say at the same time. I pull out my phone and text ally.

Me: Hey!
Ally:Hey boo!
Me: since we're all going to UCLA, do you want to get an apartment with us?
Ally: us?
Me: Jackson, Jonah and me.....
Ally: Bitch yes!!
Me: yay!!

"Ally's down with the plan!" I say still looking at my phone. "Oh Jonah, I didn't even ask if you wanted to. Do you want too?" He looks at me. "I'd be crazy not too. I'll pay for us" I raise an eyebrow, "Thanks, but I can pay for it." He smiles, "uhh no, I'm capable of paying for us." I huff, "Jonah, we're not together." He rolls his eyes, "I don't care" I huff.

He leans up and kisses my forehead. "I have to go" he stands up, "stay here tonight, we can go look for apartments tomorrow!" He smiles, "please" he playfully rolls his eyes. "Fine" he walks out of Jackson room and to the guest room.

"Are you good with this?" Jackson looks at me. "Yea, we're best friends" he looks away from his game and looks at me. "With a past" I roll my eyes. "Yea we have a past, but that doesn't mean we can't still be friends" he sighs, "just be careful, I don't want you to get hurt again" I smile, "love you too!" That's Jackson way of saying I love you.

To be honest, I'm nervous about this idea. He has a point, what happens if Jonah gets a girlfriend. Obviously, it's his love life, but I love him.

I sit there, Jonah walks back in with a bag of chips. "Dude! You passed the level without me! What the fuck bro!" He playfully rolls his eyes. He walks over to me and sits down. "You suck anyway!" Jonah's mouth drops open, "that's hurtful as fuck!" I laugh, I lay my legs across Jonah.

"When's graduation?" Jackson looks at me. "In like a month" Jonah smiles. Ally walks through Jacksons door, "Harm, we need to talk!" She looks at me, "like right now!" I nod.

We walk to my room, I closed the door behind us. "It's Eliza!" I look at her with concern, "what about her?" She rolls her eyes.

"She wants Jonah!" I look at her and laugh. "What do you mean?" She sighs. "She wants to be with him!" The anger filled within me.

"She knows that you two aren't together..." I roll my eyes. "She's supposed to be our best friend!" Jonah and Jackson walked through the door.

"Hey, Harm...Eliza is here." I look at Ally, "do something" she whispers. I look at Jonah, "remember that time I kissed you to get Mia to go away?" He smiles, "yea?" I smile, "Time to repay me!" He looks at me confused.

I grab his hand and pull him downstairs. "Take your shirt off!" I look at me confused. "Why?" I smile, "just do it.

He pulls his shirt off, I grab it and pull it on. I open the door to see Eliza. "Hey!" She looks at me, Jonah walks up behind me. "Am I interrupting something?" She looks irritated.

"Jonah, could I talk to you?" I raise an eyebrow, "whatever it is, you can say in front of my girlfriend!" She looks shocked.

"You two are together?" I smile, "yea, is that a problem?" She huffs. "No, not at all!" I smile, "what did you need?" She smiles, "I wanted to see if Jonah wanted to hang out with me?" My eyes widened, betrayed by my one best friend.

"Your asking my boyfriend to hang out with you?" She nods, "Yea, I thought you two were broken up." I smile, "oh babe, you thought wrong!" Jonah looks at me confused.

"Bye Eliza!" I close the door.  I pull off Jonah's stuff and hand it to him. "What was that about?" I smile, "she wants to get with you!" He raises an eyebrow.

"Does that bother you? Someone else wanting to be with me?" I bite my lip, "uh, I don't know what your talking about!" He smiles, he grabs my hand. "Oh yes you do, you want me to yourself!" I smirk.

"Best friends, don't do those types of things!" He smirks, "well I'm not your ordinary best friend."
