Summary: Hannah's gone, Jonah's smiling at him again, and Jack's somehow even better than he was before. There's only one thing missing now and Daniel knows it won't ever be the same if he doesn't get him back

Daniel's POV
" This is stupid. This is stupid. This is stupid," I whined into my own palms, hiding my face in them.

" Why is it stupid?" Jonah hummed patiently from the driver's seat, turning down a road.

" Because he hates me. He hates me and he always will and he'll never forgive me and this is stupid and I wanna go home."

My stomach was aching, clenching around the knot it had tied itself in to. It felt like I was gonna vomit, like I couldn't breathe.

" He doesn't hate you, Dan. You just hurt his feel-"

" You weren't there, Jonah!" I snapped suddenly, whiping my head to the side to glare at him, shocking even myself with the outburst. Guilt pooling in my already aching gut at the way he flinched.

" Fuck, I'm sorry," throwing my head back against the head rest, rubbing my temples," I'm sorry I yelled, Babe. I didn't mean too, but you weren't. You didn't see the way he looked at me."

" Then tell me," Jonah encouraged, pulling into Jack's driveway.

" I don't know how. I don't even know where to began. He looked like... like... like a kicked puppy, but worse. And he was so angry and... and he won't ever want me back. I know he won't," tears welled up in my eyes, rushing to the corners to escape.

" The worst part is, I deserve it. I knew what I was doing, but I just... I wanted to know if it meant anything, you know? I... I wanted to know why...", pausing to sigh," why every single time I was with her, I kept thinking about all of you. And I fucked up. I ruined everything because I got greedy," I shut my eyes, letting out a soft sob," and now I've lost Corbyn."

" You didn't lose Jack," Jonah mused, coaxing my wet eyes over to him.

" What?"

" What you did was stupid," he breathed, looking at me with something strange in his gaze," it was so fucking stupid, but Jack stayed. Daniel, I stayed. Isn't there a chance that Corbyn'll stay too?"

It was some gentle form of exasperation. Something tired and happy and adoring and annoyed all at once. And it was so Goddamn fond it made me blush.

" Our Baby girl's sensitive, you know that, but he isn't stupid and he's sure as hell not blind. Just tell him what you just told me and I'm sure he'll understand."

Our Baby girl.

Jonah reached out to cup my cheek, wiping away the tears that rested there. He leaned over to kiss gently at my lips, pressing our foreheads together.

" Anyone could see how broken up you are about this, especially him," he kissed my nose," plus you can always cue the waterworks. Corbyn's a sucker for boys when they cry. I think they remind him of Zach."

I laughed, the noise wet and just a little broken. Jonah grinned at me for it, laughing with me.

" You ready to head in?" He brushed his mouth against mine.
