The end? •Jonah Marais•

Chapter 9

Quinn's POV

I wake up in Jonah's arms and I try to get out but his grip around me is too tight

"Let go of me!!" I yell

Jonah wakes up

Jonah: baby-
Me: don't call me that!
Jonah: it was a prank!
Me: what?, it was?
Jonah: yes
Me:promise?
Jonah: yes

He pulls me back into his arms and I stay there.

Me: I love you
Jonah: I love you a million times more

We kiss and head downstairs and see Jack and corbyn sleeping on the floor in the same spot we were playing truth or dare in yesterday. Zach and Daniel are sitting at the table and they look miserable.

I go up to both of them and kiss them on the cheek.

Me: thank you for being there for me yesterday
Daniel: no problem, wouldn't you have done the same?
Me: of course
Zach looks at me, smiles and walks away.I go after him, we both walk upstairs and into his room.
Me : Zach?
Zach: yes?
Me: what's wrong, did I do something?
Zach: no,you didn't
Me: what is it then?
Zach: it's not your fault, but I love you and I can't pretend I don't anymore. I think that Jonah is the luckiest guy in the entire world and I would give anything to be him right now, because he has you.

I look at him and wrap my arms around him and don't let go.

Me: I'm sorry
I feel a tear drop down my face and I don't know what's happening to me, these boys made me feel again and I cry like a baby now.

Zach: no, it's not your fault, I know that if you could make all of us happy you would. But you can't because in order to make me happy, you have to make Jonah and Daniel sad and in order to make Jonah happy you have to make me and Daniel sad and in order to make Daniel happy you have to make me and Jonah sad. And then there's you and your happiness comes from everyone else's , your happiness isn't just about you. I've noticed that about you.

Me: ...

Zach: when you know one of us is sad, you can't be happy unless we all are, which isn't fair for you.

Me: I really want you to be happy

Zach: I can't I'm sorry that I'm getting in the way of your happiness

Me: you aren't getting in the way of anything, I love you

Zach: I know you do, but I love you in a different way and I can't say it doesn't hurt me to see you with him. I'm sorry I had to let it out.

Me: no need to be sorry

Zach starts to cry and it hurts me so bad thinking that I hurt him.

Zach: I think I need to get away from here for a while

Me: how long?

Zach: a few weeks maybe

Me: no, don't

Zach: I can't see you with him, I love you from the bottom of my heart but I can't.

More tears drip down both our faces

Me: Zach, stay I'll deal with it

I walk out of the room before he can say anything

I go down the hall to find Daniel

Me: Dani?
Daniel: yes?
Me: in what way do you love me?
Daniel: every way
Me: do I hurt you?
Daniel: you want me to be honest?
I nod my head
Daniel: yeah, kinda

I nod my head again I go upstairs and grab my backpack, phone and most of my other stuff. I put it in my car so no one can see, I go back inside and kiss Jonah , I don't say a word I just leave.

I have to hurt 1 to heal 2, I have to do whatever I can to make more people happy and that was the only option. If I would have let Zach leave, Daniel would have eventually left too leading to hurting Jonah,jack,Daniel, corbyn and Zach .
And leaving meant only hurting one, it was the best option.

I felt so so so bad that I had to hurt Jonah like this, but I would have also felt so bad for hurting Daniel and Zach.

Jonah will have to move on.
