(JAEDEN'S POV)
I didn't see Wyatt for the rest of the day, I still don't know how I was going to let it down to Wyatt, I knew he wanted to be with me, but I just couldn't betray Noah. I went through all the scenarios in my head of what could happen, what if he turned on me and hated me again, what if it became worse than before. I knew it was going to happen, but I didn't have the slightest clue on how I was going to do it, I went to sleep that night stressed out and praying for the best, praying that me and Wyatt could still be friends after all this.
As always I woke up the next morning to Finn's text and both my parents at work, I jumped in the car and set off the school once again. I vented to Finn on how nervous I was, he just told me to relax and that no matter the outcome, that he would still be there for me, I really appreciated this, it's important to have people in your life like Finn to know that your life isn't just going to waste. Walking through the school gates as I always do I shared my first class with Wyatt, this was the best opportunity I had. It was the only class that I had with Wyatt and without Noah, When I walked in the room I saw Wyatt there and I knew what I was going to say would crush his heart. We started with a friendly chat and eventually evolved into the time where I would tell him my decision."Wyatt, I know you're probably not going to like this, but i'm thinking of instead of getting in a relationship with you, that I will just stay with Noah, are we still friends?". "I'm sorry Jae, I must have been giving you false cues, I would never want to get in the way between you and Noah, I see how happy he makes you feel and I'd never want to ruin that". Something about this man has changed, last week he would have never said those same words to me and now he's being one of the nicest, most supportive friends ever. I got home feeling really good about myself and the day, I knew I wanted to have a bit of fun on the weekend, so I invited Noah, Finn, Jack and even Wyatt to get pissed and watch movies on Friday night. They all replied almost instantly, obviously saying yes and the day was on. I haven't told any of my other friends that Wyatt is coming, I'll just make it a surprise and hope that they don't hate me.
Come Friday it had been an awfully boring week of just the same old bullshit that always goes on at school, but this was all going to be spiced up tonight. When Finn dropped me off home he just decided to stay until everyone else turned up, about an hour later Noah turned up, then Jack. We were all getting on and then the doorbell rings and the verdict had began, everyone saw as Wyatt walked in, "surprise" I said in a sarcastic voice. Jack and Noah were looking at me like I lost my mind, "hey" Wyatt said awkwardly, "hi, I guess" Noah replied, this could be a long ass night. As the night went on though, Wyatt seemed to really fit in to our friend group, it almost felt seem-less by the end of the night. When it got to watching a movie we all decided that the best choice would be Saving Private Ryan, I hate gore but with Noah by me i'm sure I'll be all right. The first scene of the movie was disgusting and intense, I was just cuddled up next to Noah with my face in the crook of his neck, he made me feel good and comfortable, he was such an awesome boyfriend and I knew I made the right choice. Once the movie ended we set up a few mattresses and everyone feel asleep except me, the movie was keeping me up all night, just the thought of what it was like in war, it terrified me. I just stayed cuddled up next to Noah trying my best not to get nightmares in his soothing presence.
