"Jonah no I already watched that"

"Please it's Harry Potter"

"No. You need to fix this addiction"

"ITS NOT AN ADDICTION ITS A PASSION"

"Okay Jonah okay. It's not even good"

"Get out"

"K bye" I get up to leave and before I get to the door he calls for me

"I'm kidding get back here" he says opening his arms for me

I dramatically fake sigh and walk back sitting down in his arms

I put my head on his shoulder and he lightly puts a blanket over me

"I wish you were mine" he mumbles to himself but I hear it

I feel bad for him and I don't want to make it awkward or make it be a bad night so I pretend I didn't hear it

"So Harry Potter?" He asks with a smirk

"Fine. Harry Potter" i give in
-
The movie just ended and thank god it did. That is an awful movie

"Jonah I'm hungry"

"You literally just ate like 18 different snacks"

"I said I was hungry not criticize me"

"Okay okay. Let's go"

"Help me up I'm too fat"

"You're a mess" he laughs and helps me up
-
"Wow this is soooooo good" I say eating my giant bowl of ice cream

"You're really enjoying that huh"

"Yes its delicious. I'm in love"

"You kinda got it all over your face. Come here" 

I move my face closer to him and he wipes the ice cream off of my chin and lip

He keeps his finger on my lip for a little bit and we look up at each other

Its the total cliche moment where a boy and girl kiss

I can see in Jonah's eyes that he wants that to happen but I have Corbyn and I can't let it happen

I cough and pull away from him

"Sorry" he says

"I-its okay. Um I'm getting kinda full I think we should uh go home"

"Um yeah I-I'll go pay"

I nod and leave the diner

I take a deep breath and wait for him to come out

He finally comes out and we walk in an uncomfortable silence back to his house
-
"So are you tired?" He asks making small talk on our way back

"Kinda"

"Want me to carry you"

"Na i mean we're almost there"

"Oh right"

Oh no. He probably thinks I don't want him to touch me because of what happened

I swear it's not that. We are literally just a second away

We get to his house and he opens the door for me

I smile and we walk to his room

I lay in his bed and wrap myself in his fluffy blankets

"Come here Jony pony" I say putting my arms up

"Did you just call me jony pony?"

"Yup"

He playfully rolls his eyes and smiles laying down next to me

I put his arms around my waist and pull him close to me

"Don't be so boring Jonah cuddle me"

"Sorry... just don't you think it's a little awkward with you dating Corbyn and all that"

"Who cares this is a tradition now come on"

"I don't want to"

"Seriously Jonah" I sit up and roll my eyes

"I-it's just with you being with Corbyn it's inappropriate for me to do that"

"It's only inappropriate if you do something with me. And you won't so it's fine don't be so extra"

"I could ruin your relationship"

"Oh my god" i roll my eyes "you're not going to ruin my fucking relationship. Right now the only relationship you're ruining is our friendship"

"It's not that big of a deal"

"Then why are you making it one. Tonight was supposed to be a fun night and it was but now you're turning it into a depressing night"

"How am I making it depressing"

"Normally right now we'd be cuddling being besties but noooo you won't cuddle with me. And it makes me sad"

"I'm sorry"

"Whatever just are you going to cuddle me or do I have to go home"

He sighs and lays closer to me

"I'll cuddle you" he mumbles and I smile

"Thanks. Now let's enjoy our night please"

"Okay I'm sorry"

"It's okay"

For the rest of the night we talk about everything and anything, catching up on life and I almost forget how complicated our friendship has become

I mean we went from best friends who were inseparable to friends who see each other every once in a while

I hate it I hate it a lot but for now on I'm going to be better at being best friends again

I start to get tired so I turn around and pull his arm closer around me

"Night night Jo."

"Goodnight Cara."

I start to drift to sleep and he whispers to himself

"I love you so much and I can't wait till Corbyn's out of the picture. If only you could see that or hear me. Goodnight" he kisses the back of my head and I hear him sigh

Well i wasn't supposed to hear that

Wait-

What does that mean anyways

Does he like me?

Or does he just not like me with Corbyn

Ugh too many thoughts it's making my brain hurt

I need to sleep
