More than Friends

Chapter 43

He reveals Jonah standing at the door

J: Hey um can I come in?

C: Um Yea I guess

Z: Corbyn who was- oh

J: Hey Zach

Z: Um Hey Jonah 

J: Look Zach can we please talk this out I hate how we all separated, and I know you do too 

Z: Ok

C: I'll let you guys solve this 

He leaves the entry way and Zach goes outside 

J: Look Zach I am so sorry, and I feel horrible for doing what I did to Maya. It wasn't right and it wasn't ok for me to yell and then leave the house by slamming the door I heard one of the kids crying while everything went down, and I feel really, really bad. Is there any way you can forgive me

Z: Well thanks for apologizing to me but I'm not the one you have to apologize to. You have to apologize to Maya! You really hurt her! But I forgive you can I ask you something though? 

J: Yea

Z: Why did you force Maya to kiss you and why did you play it off as if there was a package for her? 

J: Well, for one I think I forced to kiss me because well please don't hate me for saying this, but I liked her...but I think the morning after her birthday I couldn't take it anymore, so I just acted as if she had something waiting for her outside of the house and then I pinned her to the wall and kissed her...and I feel really bad but I want to fix my feelings for her

Z: What do you mean?

J: I mean that since she is going to get married to you, I have to get rid of my feelings for her but um I also remember that the night where we all were drunk, she took me upstairs and then I fell onto my bed and held onto her and she came down with me and I already knew then that if she didn't leave then things would have happened but again I am so, so sorry for everything Zach

Z: It's ok Jonah thanks for telling me and I'm also sorry for kicking you out of the house and for yelling at you Jonah can you forgive me?

J: Yes, I forgive you 

Z: Thanks

J: Mhm

Z: When we get back home you can come back but after you fix things with Maya AND after I set some ground rules for you when you're around Maya, ok?

J: Sounds fair 

J: So we good?

Z: Yea we're good

They hug it out and then Jonah leaves and Zach goes back inside and goes to call Maya and she answers

Z: Hey princess!

M: Hi baby!

Z: How was your day today?

M: Ugh so exhausting! 

Z: Oh I'm sorry baby. How were the kids? Did they behave at Laila's?

M: She said that they did, and I believe her

Z: I'm glad. What are they doing right now?

M: Look!

She flips the camera and on it you can see Eleanor and Bryan playing together with Bryan's cars and Ellie's horses

Z: Aww! Show them the phone so they can see me

She holds the phone in front of the kids and Zach starts talking to them
