Cyrus' Choice - An Andi Mack Story (COMPLETED)

Chapter 15

I was shaking as I walked to Jonah's house... I remember how he looked the last time I saw him and I didn't want a repeat of that situation.

When I arrived, I noticed that the front window was open. I looked in and saw Jonah sitting next to Amber on the couch.

Not wanting to disturb them, I decided to hide below the window, and listen into their conversation. I knew it was wrong, but I had to know what was going on.

"I can't take this anymore Amber" Jonah sighed.

"What are you planning to do?" Amber enquired "This seems to have affected you more than anything"

"I... I don't even think I can talk to Cyrus again" Jonah mumbled "I thought I knew him, but I don't"

"But how do you feel about him Jonah?" Amber persisted.

There was an uncomfortably long pause before the question was finally answered. I felt a tear fall down my left cheek.

"I love him" Jonah claimed "I love him with all of my heart"

"Do you think you can forgive him?" Amber asked.

"I'm really not sure" Jonah answered.

"So, if he was to storm in right now, and profess his love for you" Amber started "What would you do?"

"I would probably cry" Jonah responded "Because I would be so happy, but I would still wonder if he would want TJ"

"Is that the reason that you aren't talking to anyone?" Amber continued "Because you don't like TJ?"

This was more than I was expecting, but I waited patiently, wanting to know the answers to the questions Amber had been asking, questions I was to scared to ever ask.

"It's not that I dislike TJ" Jonah insisted "He makes Cyrus happy, that's what I dislike"

"I understand now" Amber commented "You feel like TJ is going to make you look inferior, and that Cyrus will forget about you"

Part of me wondered if Amber knew I was sitting outside, because this was exactly what I needed to know.

"Also, I just..." Jonah struggled "Cyrus is the only one who calms me down when I have a panic attack. He really is like my other half"

"Why don't you just tell him that?" Amber suggested.

"Yes, why don't you just tell me that?" I whispered under my breath, so they couldn't hear me.

"I'm scared that if he agreed, he would quickly get bored of me and go for TJ anyway" Jonah retorted "That would destroy me"

"I really think you should just stop thinking about TJ" Amber advised "If you and Cyrus are meant to be together, then you will be"

"Thanks" Jonah muttered.

Amber then left, so I had to make sure she didn't see me. I was relieved to know what was going, but hurt as Jonah clearly couldn't tell me this himself.

At that point, I heard Jonah breathing heavily. I peaked back through the window and knew what was happening. He was having a panic attack.

I really wanted to help him, but would he feel better for seeing me? I knew exactly what I was going to do.
