Grayson POV

I was a little confused now. They all knew but they didn't tell me Jonah loved me? I didn't feel the same way about Jonah but I would've liked to know. We were best friends, how could he feel that way about me? Jonah was still staring at me and I looked over at him. He had such a sweet embarrassed look on his face and I immediately felt bad.

"Jonah..I'm sorry-"

"No no, It's okay. I know you don't feel the same. I honestly have no idea how I started feeling that way about you. One day you were just my best friend and the next you became the girl I loved"

"But what about Victoria?"

"That's my problem. I love both of you"

"I think you need to try and apologize to her again, I know that really hurt her"

"Haven't you seen her Instagram? She's all over Shawn Mendes now"

"She's not all over him, they look like close friends"

"Close friends? Like what? Me and you? No Grayson. They're not close friends. They're dating."

"You don't know that for sure"

"I'm pretty sure they are. They've hung out everyday this week."

"So? I hang out with all of you everyday"

"But she just seems so close to him"

"Why Don't you ask her herself? Then you can find out the truth"

"I will when she gets here" As if on cue, Victoria and Shawn walked through my back door. She smiled over at me but her face S dropped as soon as she saw Jonah beside me. He pushed past me and went to talk to her. I hoped they could work this out.

Jonah POV

I walked up to her and she told Shawn to give us a minute. I awkwardly cleared my throat and began to talk.

"Look Tori, I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to say Grayson. The truth is, I do have feelings for her, but I don't want her. I want you. Nobody compares to you and I still feel horrible about saying that. Please just take me back?"

"Jonah, I would but you've been so distant lately. I don't even remember the last time we actually had fun together. You're always talking about Grayson and I'm over it. She's my friend but I don't like hearing YOU talk about her all the time. It hurts Jonah. And the fact that you called me Grayson hurts even more. I have something with Shawn, something better than what I had with you. I'm sorry Jonah but he's already treating me better."

She walked away. I told myself I wasn't going to cry, but man. Victoria was my love and I just ruined everything. I watched her go up and kiss shawns cheek and I just lost it. I pushed the chair over and went inside. I slammed her door behind me and I saw Grayson's mom. She peeked her head around the corner and saw the tears in my eyes. "Oh Jonah honey what's wrong?" That's the thing about Grayson's mom, in the past few months we've known her, she's been nothing but caring. She always is so sweet and caring towards us.

"Morning Mrs. Black just girlfriend issues"

"Well I know it's none of my business, but what happened?"

I told her the story and she just sat there and listened. I told her how I accidentally said Grayson instead of Victoria, I told her about Shawn and about what just happened.

"Well I think you should give her time, she's not going to give up on you completely. She's just hurt. Shawn will eventually break up with her and she'll realize her mistake. She wouldn't leave 6 months of love away for a pop singer she just met. Give her time and she'll come back" She always gave the best advice. She was like a second mom to the guys and I. She got up and I decided I was going to wait a few minutes before going back out. I still needed to calm down.

Victoria POV

That hurt me more than anything. I loved Jonah so much but I needed him to really realize his mistake. If being with Shawn would make him realize how much he loved me, then I was willing to be with Shawn for a while. I wanted Jonah to miss me like crazy. I needed him in my life but I didn't want him if he didn't know who he loved.
