Those words stung Zach like a million angry wasps. Hearing Jack tell someone else that he loves them was one of the things Zach never wanted to hear. At first he wondered how Jack could do that to him, then he realized it was his own stupidity. Jack and Daniel always just clicked. They were Jack and Daniel for crying out loud! Daniel made Jack happy when Zach wasn't there. That was one of Zach's biggest regrets. Not telling Jack how he felt and then acting like a baby about it. Now, all the two boys who were vying for Jack's love, had to do was just sit and wait. Jack could've been in charge of who lives and dies because to Zach it sure felt like he was doing exactly that. And then Jack walked down the stairs, hands in his pockets, tears in his eyes. Zach knew this was hard for Jack. He knew how much he loved both of them. Zach wanted to support Jack no matter what but his heart would definitely be crushed if he wasn't chosen.

I've decided. Now, all that's left to do is tell everyone.
As I make my way down the stairs I feel three sets of eyes on me. Great! That's totally going to help me in this situation.
I cleared my throat, "before I tell y'all my decision, I would like to call a group meeting."

Everyone then followed me to the kitchen table.

"So, I'm going to fill you guys in on my story starting from the beginning. This all started in ninth grade. I had a major crush on Zach. I just ended up telling myself he didn't like me though. Then the idea of a band was brought up. I met Daniel and instantly fell in love all over again. He treated me so good. Then last year. Zach went missing because of me. I never told him how I felt. Daniel broke up with me to give me the choice of my happiness. After Zach passed away, I felt dead too. He was just so happy and easy to love. Then the day we read the letters I saw him. I saw Zach sitting at this very table in his spot. Eventually we became I guess you could say a thing. I wanted to marry him but he told me no. Then me and Daniel had an ex makeout session. When I woke up from that I didn't remember him. But he treated me just like he used to. We have that effect on each other. I fell in love with Daniel for the second time. Then just yesterday all of the memories of Zach and Daniel came flooding back into my mind. Now, I'm left with a decision."

"I believe in you son." Jonah. Obviously.

"So I just want to give the person I'm not choosing one last kiss."

"Close your eyes boys." Corbyn said.

Instantly Zach and Daniel closed their eyes. Both just wanting to not be kissed. I walked up to Daniel and softly placed a kiss on his lips. He kissed back knowing this was going to be the last kiss from me that he got. The kiss lasted quite a while until Jonah eventually cleared his throat. Aca-awkward.

"Daniel, where do I begin? You've loved me like no other. I feel so... special with you. You are definitely the fun in my life. Your soul and your love is so so vibrant. I will always love you. I swear on my life. But, Zach is the missing piece." A small tear rolled down my face and Daniel wiped it away with his thumb.

"It's okay baby. I know. I know. You go, be happy. I don't want to stand in the way."

"D-Daniel stop. Im going to start bawling."

"I will love you forever." He said.

"And for always." I finished. That was our cliché thing from day one.

Jonah kept crying and saying "fuck you, you hormonal teenagers for making me cry."
