The Choice Bonjovi|| Engl.

Chapter XXII•inexorably

Jon had noticed a change in June's behavior for days, not that she was strange before, but now she was undoubtedly more so..
Nobody spoke and nobody told him the reason for this ordeal, how things were going more than well depending on the moment..

Well, depending on the moment...
They were so fragile that a sudden gust of wind was enough to throw away every bond..
Few times had he felt so helpless, and thank goodness Arianna was with him or he would surely have gone mad at the very least..

A toxic friendship..
This is how she had been defining it for days, it was taking away all his available energy and she wasn't willing to be left without strength once again..

He didn't like this situation or maybe he never liked it at all...
But maybe it would have been better not to let things slide on him, at least not the ones he didn't like..
He had always preferred silence to conflict..

He had never liked conflicts because in his opinion they were a waste of time, but also because they compromised relationships that previously seemed strong..

Hey Jonny, what's wrong - Arianna asked her now boyfriend and partner, as she finally had the dream of living together

I don't know either, I mean I'm talking about the situation with June, about our friendship - said Jon

Darling, why don't you talk to us, clarify this situation - said Arianna

And I don't know what there is to clarify, that's the biggest problem,- Jon said

Tell him how you feel at least - said Arianna

Maybe it's the only thing I can do in this moment of disappointment - Jon said to his girlfriend

I know you're disappointed, it's obvious, but that doesn't mean you don't have the right to speak,-Arianna said

Yes for Jon, Arianna was right, he could show himself to be mature, despite being disappointed, being afraid was not the best choice, facing the situation instead..
It was for men and he was a man even if his young age said otherwise..

He didn't even know where to start, perhaps it would have been the longest speech of his life or a sentence of few letters but very incisive.
He didn't know, he didn't know where all this would lead..

Maybe it would have brought negative or even positive feedback, but who knew...
What he knew and was certain he had to do or have..
It was that of having to put an end to a situation that was detaching him from every point of view..
But he wasn't sure how to proceed...

And then ..
And then there was June with her desire to make Jon and Arianna leave, since her only thought was that she had to be her, the person who would make him happy..
Yes love was making her crazy..
It was making her become an obsessive and fixated person..

Chantal understood this and didn't agree, how much she wanted her best friend to come back to her senses or at least find a replacement so she wouldn't think about Jon..

But no one was Jon and June knew it, this wasn't how it had to end, Arianna had to be out of the way, but Jon's loyalty was too strong as long as there could be talk of betrayal..
It was impossible to speak badly of that boy, but there was one thing he couldn't control: the cameras on Arianna..

But then he had to overlook it, because even though he didn't want to attend one of his concerts, Jon had taken Arianna in front of everyone and presented her to the world..

And obviously Arianna agreed with this, but then after this very sensational act, nothing, no one knew about her private life and would never know...

There was no way, it was impossible..
Maybe the only way was to confess that she loved him, and maybe he would leave her..
But were you sure it could work?!
He didn't know this either, but they say there's no harm in trying, and so he would have tried at least..

Jon was looking for June among the many offices, he had to talk to her, he had to ask this story so absurd, it almost seemed unreal..
And here it was finally, now would be the showdown..
Yes, no holds barred..

I was looking for you - Jon had said to the girl who was at the door of his office

- tell me what I can help you with - asked June with a blank look trying to understand the next move to make

- we have to talk June and you know it too - said the blond-haired singer

- and what we hear about - said his manager's daughter

- I can't stand the situation that has been created anymore, this whole story exhausts me, you treat me badly, when I haven't done anything except give you my friendship..
But maybe Arianna is right, I have to get straight to the point - Jon began by saying

And here is Arianna again, always on that singer's lips and it was so exhausting that she would have left at an instant just to not hear that name..

- and then get straight to the point - she said

- I can't take it anymore, I don't know what I did to you, but this game ends here, I don't know what's wrong with you, but I don't want to ruin my happiness, because you treat me badly for no valid reason - said Jon

But there was a valid reason, indeed there was, and it was precisely to ruin what he was creating and the last attack would have been given right at that moment..

- do you really think there's no reason for all this - asked June out of nowhere

- if you don't tell me it's clear that I say whatever you want - said Jon taking a pause

- You just can't get there, I see - said her now ex-friend

- Where should I get to June, stop with these games and clear up for once - said Jon getting excited

- and that's fine since you don't get there I'll tell you..
I'm in love with you, I can't see you with another person, I can't see you happy with someone other than me..
And that's why she has to disappear because her presence irritates me - said June

- I'm sorry but you and I feel different things, I love Arianna, maybe before when she wasn't around I felt something for you..
But instead of facing all this you preferred to run away..
And now that I'm happy you come forward..
I'm sorry but I can't accept what you say and for me it's not the same thing..
I feel a healthy friendship towards you and I have demonstrated it many times..
I know for a fact that it won't be easy to digest and you will undoubtedly feel bad about it and I'm sorry..
But this is the truth however inexorable it is, but this is how I feel - said Jon without taking a pause between one concept and another

- because you didn't come forward too - said June

- as if you didn't know, you don't know what it feels like when you see your girlfriend go to bed with a stranger on the same day you asked him to marry you..
I was coming out of this that's why I didn't come forward..
But with Arianna it didn't help, it just happened, there was nothing calculated - said Jon

- enough about her, always her - said June

- but she is there, she is part of my life and you know it..
And this won't change, get over it or you're free to leave too..
If seeing me hurts you and seeing my girlfriend irritates you, that's the door,- Jon said

She didn't want to get to this point, but that's how things were and inexorably she had just said goodbye to a years-long friendship, just because June couldn't accept Jon's happiness with another person..
