Chapter 10 : " Finale (Part 1) "

I was ready to go, when I looked at a picture Cyrus and I took a year ago. It was a cute picture, we were having the best time of our lives but things change. Like how I changed, when I realized, I was in love with Cyrus.

"Hey Jonah, I bet you can't reach that top branch." Cyrus exclaimed as he looked at me as if it was something I couldn't do.

"What are you saying? Of course I can reach that, I'm taller than you. " I teased him. I jumped and reached the branch, the branch was close to a haystack, which he cannot see and I don't know where that haystack came from but I wanted to prank him.

So I pretended to fall and I saw his face, it was filled with horror and concern, I laughed as he looked down at me, he jumped at me and he was now on top of me. And his face was so close to mine.

"You can't do that." He said with a serious tone.

"I'm sorry. I won't do it again." I told him

And that was the closest we were.

I shook my head and looked at the mirror then the clock. It was 7:49 PM, I went down and had my mom drive me to Delfio's. I looked at my phone and saw a text from Cyrus.

Cyrus : I'm going to be a little late, I have to deal with some things.

Jonah : Yeah, sure. Take your time

Cyrus : Okay, thanks.

"We're here." Mom said and I went out of the car and said goodbye to mom, "Enjoy your night."
she continued.

I smiled at her and saw Tj, Andi, Buffy and Marty at a table inside the restaurant next to a window.
The only one missing is Cyrus.

I went inside and went to the table where, they're seated. I smiled at everyone, they looked at each other and left, except for Tj.

"You guys talk, we'll wait for Cyrus outside." Andi said and I gave her a small smile. They went outside and I was left with him.

"So, hey." I greeted him, it was awkward, and I was very uncomfortable.

"Hey." He said and smiled awkwardly.

"So what do you want to say?" I asked him, I looked at the door to the entrance and saw them looking at us, with Cyrus.

"Well, um..." He trailed off, I was getting impatient so I stood up and wanted to leave until he started talking

"Hey, hey, okay, so let me just get straight to the point. I don't know if you would want to hear this but, Cyrus and I are dating, and don't get mad, cause I know you. You're like angry with me but listen, I wanted you to come with us so we can clear the air between us two." He said, I was clearly shocked from what I just heard. I didn't know what to say. But one thing shocked me the most, and that wad I wasn't mad, not at all. I was just shocked. I sat back down.

"Since when?" I asked him.

"A week ago, and its working out. Anyways, I'm sorry for not informing you, we wanted to but you just kept on avoiding us." He said.

I wasn't hurt anymore, I was fine.
Maybe I moved on already. It might not show but, I feel okay, I feel fine.

"It really doesn't matter to me anymore." I told him, "I mean, you two look good together, and besides, I wasn't meant for him anyways, and you know that." I smiled at him. I looked at the entrance again, and stood up.

"Hey, don't go, Cyrus wants to talk to you." Tj said, but I didn't want to stay any longer.

I walked past Andi and the others and smiled at them, I saw Cyrus pulling up but I didn't mind him. Even if it hurts me, I can't be around him. Not like this.

CYRUS' POV

I was about to get down from our car when I saw Jonah, walking away from the restaurant. I went inside to talk to Tj.

"What did you say to Jonah?" I asked him.

"Well, he said to much." Buffy said while looking at Tj.

"Like what?" I asked as I sat down with them

"He told him that you two were dating." My eyes widened when I heard what Andi said.

"You shouldn't have said that yet." I told him. "I'm going to look for him, you guys stay at our place after you are done eating." I told them.

I know exactly where he is.

I went to the place where the two of us used to hang out a lot, from a year ago. It's in a top of a hill where the views from the city can be seen. It's beautiful there.

As I reached the place, I saw him at the spot where he sat a lot.

"Jonah?"
