Whilst hanging out with Andi and Buffy, Jonah sees something that makes him upset, causing him to admit something to the girls.
Jonah POV
Everything had been very different over the past week. Cyrus had been getting distant from me, Andi and Buffy. I wanted to believe that he just wanted some time alone to figure a few things out, but my instinct told me that something else was going on.
What had made everything more complicated is that the last time I saw him, I had told him that I'm bisexual. He reacted positively so I wasn't nervous anymore. However, when he left that night he looked really awkward and didn't even say goodbye to me.
I met up with Buffy and Andi at the park, and as always I was very happy to see them. We had become a very close group in recent days. It felt as if I had replaced Cyrus in the Good Hair Crew.
Me: So, how is it going?
Andi: You know, the usual.
Buffy didn't have time for all of the normal friendly chat, so she decided to be blunt and get straight to the point.
Buffy: Am I the only one who is really worried about Cyrus?
Andi: No, I'm very concerned.
Me: We all are, something isn't right. I haven't spoken to him for so long.
Andi: Perhaps he just wants space.
Buffy: Usually he confides in us though.
Before I could respond, I looked across the park and saw Cyrus. At first I was relieved, but then I noticed something.
Me: Is that Cyrus walking next to TJ?
Buffy: Yes it is.
Andi: The plot thickens.
A few seconds later, Cyrus and TJ held hands. This shocked me, I mean I knew Cyrus was gay and I was totally okay with it, I would be a hypocrite if I wasn't, but I never imagined he would go out with TJ.
Me: Oh my, I can't believe this is happening.
Buffy: I think it's cute.
Andi: Although it's still strange.
Me: I can't watch.
My face started to go red, and I felt very angry about the situation. At that point, I remembered that this wouldn't make sense to Andi or Buffy.
Buffy: Why does this bother you so much?
Andi: Can't you just be happy for him? It's none of our business.
Me: Look, I think I know why Cyrus is doing this.
Buffy: What do you mean?
Me: Well, the last thing I ever said to him, was that I'm....
I started to shake as the enormity of what I was about to say hit me. I looked at the girls and they had concerned expressions on their faces. I knew there was no going back, and so I took a deep breathe before I continued.
Me: I'm bisexual.
Andi: You are?
Me: Yeah.
Buffy: So that's what this is about, you're jealous that Cyrus is in a relationship.
Me: Actually, it's much more than that.
Andi: In what way?
Me: I'm, well, I sort of like, no, I love, um...
Buffy: Jonah I think we know what you're trying to say.
Andi: So don't worry, just say it.
Me: It's Cyrus!
I had a strange feeling of both relief and terror at finally saying it. The girls looked at me with soft smiles.
Andi: How long have you felt like that?
Me: Ever since he became the Space Otters MVP.
Buffy: You should've told him.
Me: Why? It's not like he would ever like me.
Andi: Have you been paying attention to anything that Cyrus has done?
Buffy: He is your number 1 fan.
Me: I know.
Buffy: He wanted your help choosing the suit for his Bash Mitzvah.
Andi: He supported you in everything.
Me: That doesn't mean he ever liked me.
Before the girls reply, I look over to Cyrus, who starts kissing TJ. My emotions got the better of me, and I cried, which caused the girls to put their arms around me.
Cyrus POV
I feel bad for ignoring Jonah, but after waiting for so long, I had grown impatient with the idea of going out with him. TJ had already asked me out anyway, so I agreed.
When we got to the park, I saw Jonah and the girls, but I wanted to make it clear to them that I had moved on.
Me: Can I hold your hand?
TJ: Sure underdog.
As we walked, I occasionally glanced over to Jonah and I saw him look really annoyed. I figured he was jealous as I was in a relationship, and he wasn't.
Me: It's a nice day isn't it?
TJ: Yes it's perfect muffin.
I felt that I should let TJ know that my friends were across the way from us, so I pointed at them casually.
Me: Look there's Jonah and the girls.
TJ: Ugh, look at Jonah, what a loser *laughs*
I nervously laughed along with TJ, but doing so made me feel so dirty. Although I was not really interested in Jonah, I didn't think he was a loser. In fact, when I thought about it, I remembered all of the good things he did for me. He made me the Space Otters MVP, he tried to teach me to skateboard and he helped me pick out my suit for the Bash Mitzvah.
I was about to argue that to TJ, when I was caught off guard by a set of lips on mine. TJ melted our lips together and as much as I thought it would feel good, I felt nothing. When we parted, I looked for Jonah and saw that he was crying.
I suddenly realised that what I had done was wrong. Not only had I ignored Jonah, but I agreed to go out with TJ, even though I didn't feel much for him. I knew that now I had a decision to make, and I just hoped that I would make the correct one.
This was originally going to be just a single part, but I kept adding things and it became a bit too long.
Part 2 coming soon.
