Summary: Cyrus discusses his feelings with TJ, and realises that he needs to talk to Jonah, who is reluctant to speak.
Told from Cyrus' POV
I never imagined that I would ever be friends with TJ. Considering his reputation, I don't think anyone would ever consider the possibility that he would be friendly to me.
When we started dating, I was overjoyed. I think it would be fair to say that I brought out the best in him, which meant we had great chemistry.
We met each other in the morning, and it felt as if we could do nothing wrong. The sun was out, everything was truly perfect. That was, until TJ started talking.
TJ: What's the deal with Jonah?
Me: I don't know what you are talking about.
TJ: Have you noticed that he's been really distant recently?
Me: I can't say I have.
There was a pause as I thought about Jonah for a few moments. The more I thought about it, the more I realised that he had spoken to me less and less over the last few weeks.
TJ: Do you think he hates that we are dating?
Me: Why would he hate us?
TJ: Maybe because he likes you.
Me: Don't be silly, he has never shown any interest.
TJ: That doesn't mean anything though.
Me: I still don't think that's the problem.
I was so confused that TJ was talking about this. To me, it made absolutely no sense to consider that Jonah secretly loved me.
TJ: Look, he's over there talking to Buffy and Andi.
Me: And?
TJ: Look at the pain in his eyes, I bet he's telling them about his heart being broken.
Me: Will you kindly stop it, this is going too far.
TJ: Well, why don't we go and have look, once and for all?
Me: Fine.
I felt defeated, but I knew that there was only one way to put this issue to rest. I kept looking at Jonah and the girls, and I could just about hear what they were saying.
Buffy: I probably shouldn't tell you this, but Cyrus had a huge crush on you.
That caught my attention, as I wasn't expecting anyone to reveal my previous crush to Jonah. I was however intrigued to see his reaction.
Jonah: He... he did?
Andi: You were, and still are, very important to him.
That was very true, even though it felt sometimes that we were no longer close. What he said next really got to me.
Jonah: But now he has TJ, I'm not as important anymore.
Andi: Sometimes relationships change.
Jonah: They already have, I've lost my best friend.
I couldn't believe what I was hearing. Jonah sounded so sad and seemed to have lost all of the confidence that he previously had.
TJ: You see, I told you he had an issue.
Me: That's not true, he doesn't have an issue, he has a heart.
TJ: Didn't you see how he reacted when he found out you had a crush on him.
Me: That doesn't mean he is against us.
Even though all signs pointed to Jonah being jealous, I refused to believe it. It was one of those things where I needed to know more information. He looked at me, and then started walking away.
Me: Jonah!
He kept walking, so I attempted to catch up with him. I noticed that TJ had stayed behind, which made me very disappointed, but my priority was Jonah.
Hope you liked it.
Part 3 will be out soon.
