things weren't supposed to turn out like they had. jack was supposed to forgive corbyn and jonah and be their friend again, but things didn't go like that. jack had blocked them on all social media platforms, and blocked their numbers from his phone. maybe corbyn went to far, maybe this idea he had was just brought out by his anger towards zach. he just wished he could take it all back, he didn't want to lose jack, but he was slipping right through his fingers.

corbyn hadn't been to school, his suspension, longer than jack's by one week. it had only been three days into his suspension and he already was bored and lonely. he was getting a little bored of just sleeping his days away, and spending his nights struggling to sleep.

jonah would stop by, but corbyn refused to see him, the guilt bubbling in his stomach every time he looked at jonah. this was his fault.

corbyn tossed and turned in bed, his blankets making him feel hot, he pulls them off of him, resting his head against his pillow again. he couldn't sleep yet again, his thoughts keeping him wide awake.

i have to fix this. he said to himself, sitting up. he had to fix what he had broken before it was too late to piece everything back together. and fixing everything started with talking to zach, even if he didn't want to talk him, that's where he had to start.

the sound of foot steps echoed outside of his room. zach refused to get up and check who it was, his body still in pain from the fight with jack.

the night he came home after spending most of the weekend at kay's his mother scolded him for getting into a fight, but once she saw the look of hurt and sadness behind his eyes, she softened, allowing zach to stay home until he felt ready to go back to school. kay and daniel had brought over the work he missed, staying to help him catch up, and get his work done. zach couldn't be more grateful for them, having them around made it easier to get over jack and stop hurting as much as he did when he was alone.

kay later entered his bed room, but this time she was accompanied by corbyn, who looked down at his shoes, fiddling with his fingers as he rocked back and forth on the heels of his shoes.

"get out!" zach sneered through gritted teeth, turning over on his side to face the wall. kay sat down beside him, rubbing his back.

"please hear him out." kay softly says rubbing his back.

zach doesn't turn over, nor does he talk, giving corbyn the cue that he was allowed to talk.

corbyn clears his throat, "first off, i know you probably hate me. but i'm here to apologize, i acted out of anger, not realizing the consequences that would occur from my actions," corbyn pauses, collecting his thoughts. "i thought by blackmailing you i was helping jack see the truth, what i didn't realize i was hurting you both in the process. i know saying 'i'm sorry,' isn't going to fix anything, buts it a start," corbyn takes a deep breath. "i'm sorry zach, for everything. if i could take everything back i did i would."

zach turns around, looking straight at corbyn who's eyes were sunken in and his cheeks blotchy with left over tears. "i'm the one who should be saying sorry, if i had never made the stupid bet we wouldn't be here. i wish i could take everything back. i love jack, now because i'm so dumb i fucked everything up." zach's voice quivered, a tear falling down his cheek.

"i'm going to fix everything, just give me time," corbyn promises. "i can fix it." he declared hope filling his voice.

daniel looks down at his phone, sighing loudly when he saw the time. jonah was supposed to meet him ten minutes ago. he had promised to explain everything to him, needing to hear the truth from jonah himself.

the sound of the door bell made daniel turn his head, the sight of jonah entering the cafe made daniel sit his phone down, and call him over.

"you're late," daniel remarks, crossing his arms. jonah sits down across from daniel, not daring to say a word. "you look like shit." daniel jabbed, glaring at jonah, who sunk down in his chair.

"i'm so sorry for what i did," jonah lamented, sadly looking down at the table more interested in the floral pattern than the glare of daniel's

"what you did was uncalled for," daniel rebuked, his voice raising and octave. "you-,"

jonah cuts him off, "you think what i did was fucked up?" jonah sneered, glaring at daniel, frustrated with him piling the blame on just him. "you fucking made a bet with zach concerning jack's sexuality!" jonah snapped.

"we need to fix things," daniel insisted, changing the topic. "zach and jack need each other." daniel trying to placate jonah's anger towards him.

jonah stayed quiet, not saying a word, he didn't want to believe it was true, that jack needed someone other than him. he still wasn't over his feelings for jack, but it was time he moved on because jack was never going to feel the same about him as he did.

"i know you still have feelings for jack, but it's time you let them go." daniel sadly says, trying his best to not upset jonah.

"i know." jonah softly mumbles, biting his lip. he looks up at daniel frowning.

the pair didn't talk the rest of the time, they just sat in silence, listening to the chatter, their thoughts consuming them. the silence wasn't awkward, it was the type of silence that allowed you to think and immerse yourself in the quiet. it was the type jonah enjoyed.

jonah and daniel both walk out of the cafe, walking side by side, their arms brushing against one another. daniel felt heat pool in his stomach, just from the simple action. he could feel the warmth of his body rise.

"fuck it." jonah mumbles.

"what,-" daniel's words were cut off as jonah steps closer to him, their lips centimeters apart, daniel could feel the warmth of jonah's breath against his lips.

"kiss me." jonah smirks, his lips softly touching daniels as he spoke. daniel pulls jonah closer, attaching their lips together. the taste of strawberry chapstick lingered on daniel's tongue as he deepened the kiss, cradling jonah's chin in his hands. jonah's lips were soft, plump and driving daniel crazy as the continued to kiss, not even caring about the people that passed by giving them disgusted glances.

detaching their lips, jonah rests his head against daniel's, looking right into his blue orbs, that glowed with affection towards the other. "why did i wait to do that?" jonah giggles, licking his lips.

"i'm glad you waited."
