Cyrus' POV
That crush was definitely there for a while. But I guess I never really noticed it until that car accident. Jonah and I were walking to the movie theaters, when I car came zooming by. The last thing I remember was pain before everything went black.

I wake up in the hospital a few days later, and my body is aching. The first thing I see was Jonah, making a face of relief. "Hey, Cy. It's me."

"Hi, Jonah. What happened to me? Everything hurts," I say, rubbing my arm.

I notice some tears in his eyes. "I'll explain it later. Right now, I'm just glad you're okay."

For the next few days, Jonah helped me out around school a lot. I'll admit, it was nice having a personal bodyguard. But I noticed that Jonah was acting really strange. He would walk me to class, watch me make sure I wouldn't get hurt by anything, and sometimes even hold my hand when I started to ache again.

One day, he came over to my house, and he brought chocolates with him. "I got these for you. Hopefully, it'll take your mind off your injury."

I willingly grab the treats. "I don't know about taking my mind off it, but regardless, I love chocolates." We both go into my room, and I let him try out some games my Y-Box. Surprisingly, he was really good at some of them, and he even carried me to the next level.

When it was my turn, Jonah leaned closer to me, and kind of rested himself against my body. It was that moment right there when I fully realized that I liked him. After all, I've never gotten so nervous. My heart never started beating rapidly like this before. I've never really understood what a crush feels like, but I suppose it's human nature to just know when it happens.

When our little hang out concludes, I walk Jonah out and give him a hug. "Thanks for being there for me."

Jonah lets out a small giggle. "Someone had to be there since Andi and Buffy are both on their Spanish class trip."

"Well, I'm glad it's you." I stare directly into Jonah's faded green eyes. A part of me believes that he likes me back, and that part of me wants to come out and tell Jonah how I feel. But I hold back. Not yet, I tell myself. If there's going to be any chance of a relationship, I'm going to do this right.
