40: Broken Beck

4 Months Later

Jonah was unbelievably bored as he sat in traffic waiting for the lights to turn green. It was the morning rush so everyone had someplace to be including him. He was on his way to the plant shop for some flowers for Cyrus since they had been in an argument the night before after an incident with Charlie. She had decided to mess around with another dog and they didn't know whether to expect baby puppies or not. Cyrus thought it would be really cute if she was pregnant but Jonah knew it would go terribly with an army of mini Charlies running around the place. The lights had finally turned green and he didn't waste any time before driving forward. It was a pretty cloudy day unfortunately and it would probably rain at any point so the family was staying inside today. He pulled into a small parking lot just in front of the store and made his way in. It wasn't a huge store but the roof was fairly high up and made entirely of glass which Jonah thought was really cool.

"Can I help you?" A man asked placing his hand on Jonah's shoulder causing him to rotate around.

"Oh hi, I'm looking for some nice flowers for the fiancé." He smiled.

"Oh I see, special anniversary or an apology?" He asked. Jonah was a little shocked that those were the two options he came up with.

"What nobody ever buys flowers to be nice?" Jonah laughed.

"You'd be surprised." He replied smiling.

"Well unfortunately I'm gonna have to go with the apology flowers." Jonah said and followed the man to the left.

"Anything she likes in particular?" He asked.

"I don't think there's a preference, and it's HE." Jonah replied.

"I see, well no need to worry we have the best selection." The man reassured him and led him to a few rows near the back.

"Any of these should do fine, I'll leave you to pick." He pointed out a few and left Jonah to himself. He looked utterly confused with what to get and eventually narrowed it down to about 5 different flowers.

"Shut up you're definitely a guy who wears a white rose in his suit to show off." He heard a girl laughing not so far away.

"No way Amber, red is a much better color. Now let's go look over here because these are boring." A boy replied.

"Amber.." Jonah said through gritted teeth.

"Of course." He continued. Sure enough, moments later, Amber turned the corner and slowed her pace to a stop when she saw Jonah. The boy next to her was his old best friend, TJ. He was shocked to find the last person he expected to see in front of him and Amber.

"Jonah." He practically whispered.

"I was just leaving." He replied but amber put her hand on his shoulder. Jonah shoved it off and turned around, rage slowly filling inside him.

"How's Life?" She asked.

"Great actually, I'm marrying Cyrus." He replied sassily.

"That's great! What better time to be alive." She smirked causing Jonah to flinch.

"I don't care what anyone says about you Amber, I know you did it." He spat.
