"I don't know how to say it... Will, I think Chris doesn't love me anymore. He probably never did. I was just a fun experiment. But I love him so much and I don't know how I could ever live without him. I just don't know what I should do!"
I couldn't help but start crying during the last sentence. I hated to cry in front of other people, it made me feel so weak.
"Why shouldn't he love you anymore? Have you seen Chris recently? He is always sad, he misses you so much Jonny!"
"You don't understand. You don't know what has happened. And he keeps acting like he had no idea what this is all about."
"I really don't understand. What has happened between you Jay? Please explain it to me."
I didn't really know how to explain this so I decided to show him. I got out my phone and opened the screenshots I had made.
I also showed him some of the pictures from that celebrity gossip site the link had led me to. obviously they had been the first to report about the reunification of the "adorable" couple Gwyneth and Jonny.
Another article even claimed their spilt might just have been fake and a marketing trick for the album.
I just still couldn't believe it. I didn't doubt their break-up had been real but maybe Chris now just had remembered that he had been a lot better off with her than me and that he actually didn't like guys. I couldn't blame him, he had to be apart from his kids all the time because of me and I would never be able to give him the gift of having children ourselves.
But I couldn't deny how much it hurt me.
Will's mouth had dropped and he obviously didn't know what to say at first.
"But Jonny! You know you can't just believe some media people. They just want to make a great story, there's probably not the tiniest bit of truth behind it!"
"But look at the picture! There's no denying about that, is it? It's totally obvious."
I was so angry and sad at the same time. I had to try hard to not let my tone get too loud or start crying again. It wasn't Will's fault after all.
"But they're just hugging each other! They're not even kissing or something. Jay, I don't know how much truth is behind this but you need talk to Chris about this. Don't you think he should at least get the chance to explain himself?"
I wanted to reply but we were both distracted by the sound of the door being opened again.
To top it all, we watched Guy walk into the room, not suspecting the chaos that was going on.
"Hey Guys! I had no idea you were here!"
After Guy had looked at our faces more closely he started realize something was wrong and looked more serious.
"Umm sorry that I'm interrupting you. What's the matter?"
Will looked at me, silently asking if it was okay to tell Guy and I nodded. It didn't matter anymore now.
I was glad I could just stay quiet while Will told the whole story because I wouldn't have made again without breaking down.
When Will finally finished I showed Guy the the tweet as well.
"Wait oh my god. I think I know that piece of sh..."
"Whaaaaat?", Will and me called out at the same time.
"How do you know here?"
"Well I don't really know her. I just always see her leaving really inappropriate replies on our tweets. Obviously she wants to prove her theory that Chris and Gwyneth are still together. I even once saw her fighting with another fan who was just trying to be nice in the replies to our tweet."
Me and Will both couldn't believe what Guy was telling us.
"I had no idea you stalk our fans Guy! You never want to tweet yourself but you read the replies??"
"Well I just accidentally stumbled across her tweet and got curious.", Guy said sheepishly.
"But the point is, you can't believe her! And you need to talk to Chris instead."
"I think we all agree on this. Jonny, you can't solve a problem if you don't talk about it. You should have told Chris or at least us a lot earlier already."
I looked at the two guys sheepishly knowing they were right. I should have talked to Chris all along but I had just been too scared of it. What if he said it was true and officially broke up with me? I wouldn't be able to take that.
"I know.", I finally answered my friends. "I'm just so scared and I don't know how I can tell him."
"It's okay Jonny. Maybe it's not easy but you have to find out if it's true."
Will hugged me and it instantly made me feel a little better.
Then I decided to take out my phone and text Chris.
Hey Chris! Can I come over tonight? We need to talk.
As expected I didn't have to wait long for a reply.
Of course! See you there Jay!
Now I had no way back. I had to tell Chris.
