Jonah

"Wow..." Daniel breathed when Jack had left, "Jack was actually homeless." His face held a look of regret.

"Don't feel bad Dani," I tried to comfort my friend, "Nobody knew."

"What is he going to do now?" Corbyn asked.

"I guess he's just gonna live with his sisters now." I shrugged, "Whatever makes him happy." I couldn't tell anyone how badly I just wanted Jack to stay with me a little longer.

As the conversation began to drift into another topic, I got up and headed to the backyard to look for Jack. I saw him lying in the grass with Tate listening to music. He had the most peaceful look on his face. It made Jack look younger than he was.

I was about to turn back into the house when I saw their hands intertwined. Jealousy filled me instantly. 

He's gay, I reminded myself, trying to calm myself down. There was no way Jack had feelings for Tate. They were just holding hands in a...friendly way.

Tate seemed to sense that I was staring at her because her eyes fluttered open and she looked back. I watched as she gently untangled her hands from Jack's. He cracked his eyes open and Tate whispered something to him. Jack glanced and me and smiled before taking both headphones and closing his eyes once again.

Tate came up to me, "Can we go for a walk?"

"Sure."

She lead me to the front of the house and we began to walk around Corbyn's neighborhood. We were quiet at first but then I tried to make conversation, "So I met you at the party huh?"

Tate laughed, "Yeah sorry about that. I was drunk, as you could probably tell."

I found myself laughing too, "It's ok. You were just having a good time."

"Too good a time." She ran her fingers through her hair, "Jonah we need to talk."

My pulse quickened, "About what?"

"I've seen the way you look at Jack."

"What way?" I tried to keep my voice from shaking. Was I really that obvious?

"The Look." Tate said amused, "The one where he's the only thing in your life that matters."

I blushed, "I don't do that." At least I hoped I didn't. I didn't need everyone knowing how I felt about Jack. I wasn't even sure myself what I was feeling.

Tate nodded, "Yes you do. It's obvious you like him, now what do you want to do about it?"

More protests came to my mind. I didn't like him. We're just friends. The one that came out of my mouth was, "Just because Jack likes boys doesn't mean he likes me!"

"B**** please." She shook her head at me as if to say, 'someone help this poor boy', "He looks at you like you're the only thing he has left."

I stopped walking in shock, "You really think..." My mind began to whirl. Jack liked me! He actually liked me! Oh s*** what was I going to do now? "Tate what do I do?"

"Stop looking so scared!" Tate placed her hands on my shoulders, "We're gonna go back and you're gonna get your man!"

"Okayyyyy." I drawled, "But like h o w?"

"Just talk to him." Tate advised, "Tell him how you feel. I know he feels the same."

I nodded uneasily and we began to walk back towards the house. I had only known Jack for a couple of days but I felt like I knew him better than anyone in the world. It seemed like we could talk about anything...

Then why was I so scared to tell him how I felt?
