April 2002
They hadn't gone on a date or even been remotely romantic in three weeks. Jonny thought it was because Chris was embarrassed by him. He was too shy to bring it up and Chris didn't seem to mind.
The recording process was almost finished and they would have a few month vacations before touring and then working on their next album. Jonny asked Chris, "Wanna plan something, you know?" Chris sighed, "I- I really can't I'm busy." Jonny said quietly, "We haven't done anything in a while..."
Chris said softly after a long pause, "I'm back with Gwen. She said she needed a break and, that break ended." Jonny's eyes widened and he sounded offended, "How long has it been since you guys started seeing each other again?" Chris said, "Three weeks, I know I should've told you but, I didn't want to make you feel bad, people were suspecting things and the easiest way to fix it was to try and fix my old relationship."
Jonny scoffed, "It was because somebody saw us together! Wasn't that it?" Chris nodded slowly and Jonny sighed, "You really were embarrassed by me." Chris shook his head, "N-No it's just that..." Jonny's face was red as he shook his head, "I don't wanna hear it." Jonny felt insulted as he made his way into the recording booth. He made sure his guitar was connected before waiting for his next instruction.
Chris did still like Jonny but, he was worried that the band would be ridiculed and possibly canceled by their label if more people caught them. He wanted to explain that to Jonny but, he couldn't bring himself to it.
Jonny felt terrible as he glared at Chris. Surely in three weeks, somebody couldn't lose their feelings towards somebody, or at least that is what Jonny told himself. Once they were done and they were well away from anyone else Chris grabbed Jonny's arm, "You really don't understand! It was in our best interest, the label would've surely dropped us." Jonny sighed, "I just can't believe that's how you fixed it. Do you even care about her?"
Chris sighed and looked at Jonny. Jonny crossed his arms, "That's more unfair for her not me." Chris stood there frozen before asking, "What does this mean for us?" Jonny almost laughed, "What do you mean us? If you're with her there is no us." Jonny looked down and then said, "That was very... foolish of you."
Chris watched Jonny walk away from him. He wondered if he would get his happy ending with Jonny. Would he have to break up again, and even if he did would Jonny even forgive him.
'Nobody is perfect, surely he could forgive me,' thought Chris.
Jonny felt betrayed as he sat on his couch with the television on. He wasn't even watching it as he thought about how he felt. He was mostly jealous and disappointed or at least that's what he settled on.
Chris felt guilty as he paced around listening to music. How would he solve this, would he even solve it? What would he tell his own girl? Things had been going so well and, inevitably he had to go and mess it up. Chris picked up his phone and dialed, "Hey," He took a deep breath, "Can we cancel for tonight, I don't think I'm interested." Before she began talking he hung up and slammed the phone down. Chris chuckled and said to himself aloud, "That wasn't so bad, now was it?"
