Reunited

✰4✰

James🖤: Hey
James🖤: I had a great time with you today
James🖤: Maybe we can go out again sometime ;)

I look over at Jonah who has yet to even glance my way. There is just something so off about him right now. Was this jealousy ?

Zach: I had a great time with you too, and totally ;)

"Alright I made more popcorn!" Daniel announces as he holds up the bowl. Corbyn suddenly sits up at the mention of food. I scoot over allowing the couple space on the couch. Daniel plops down on the opposite side of me leaving me sort of pressed against Jonah. Jack follows suit as he sits on Daniel's lap now holding the bowl. Corbyn comes over taking a handful of some popcorn before returning back to his chair. I shift in my spot. Jonah doesn't even seem to be fazed by the proximity yet my heart is pounding, and even worse it's pitch dark as the movie comes to a jump scare. I "accidentally" grab ahold of Jonah's arms. I let go, unraveling from him, apologizing profusely. He just chuckled and mumbles a "no worries".

After the movie ends everyone retreats off to their rooms. Jonah volunteers to sleep on the couch to allow the couple some privacy in their old room. With the rooming arrangements all planned out everyone goes to sleep, except me. I have the covers pulled up to my chin and I'm staring at the ceiling. I wish I didn't watch that stupid horror film now all I could think about was that stupid demon, and it's stupid face. I'm trying to force the image away but every time I close my eyes I think of it.

"Grow up Zach." I groan to myself tossing and turning in the bed. I throw the covers back and swing my legs over the edge planting my feet on the ground. I get up and creep downstairs not sure if Jonah is asleep or not. The hall is pitch black the only light emitting from the tv in the living room. I dash for the kitchen and quickly flick the light switch. Grow up Zach.

I decide to make myself a warm glass of milk, it always helps me fall asleep. I tip-toed around just in case Jonah was asleep, I didn't want to wake him. I took the milk from the fridge and the second I shut the door there stood Jonah behind it making me jump and drop the glass I held in my other hand along with the jug of milk. Thankfully only the glass broke and the milk didn't bust everywhere.

"Fuck, I'm so so sorry."

"Ha, for once in your life." I mumbled under my breath shutting the fridge once I put the milk back. "Ah!" I groaned in pain. Me being, the klutz that I am, stepped right on a shard of glass. He casually brushed the insult I said just seconds ago off and just picks me up making me yelp in surprise. "What're you doing?" I say as he sits me down on the granite countertop, avoiding the other specks of glass as he did so.

"Relax I'm just going to get the piece of glass out of your foot." He replies examining the bottom of my foot. I stared not understanding just how I felt. My stomach was doing acrobatics and my face was probably burning with more red then usual.

"This is going to hurt." He warns.

"Uhm, okay." And then I feel the sharp glass being pulled out of the gash it had made. I unconsciously grabbed for his free hand, squeezing hard. "Got it." He finally says showing me the blood covered shard before setting it down beside me. I glued my eyes to that instead of his bare chest.

"Thank you." And then I notice I'm still holding his hand but we don't retract, we lean in.

"What's all that noise, and woah— what the heck happened?" Corbyn asks rubbing at his eyes before looking around the floor. Right behind him stood a groggy Daniel and Jack as well. Me and Jonah both jump back out of surprise, our hands no longer interlaced.

"I dropped a glass, it broke, and a piece got in Zach's foot." Jonah says quickly, taking all the blame.

"I'll get the broom." Daniel sighs before shuffling away.

"Uh yeah I think I'll help him." I say about to come down from the countertop.

"No!" Jonah blurts loudly, placing a hand on my knee gently. He then continues more quietly this time, retracting his hand, face returning to that unreadable look. "I-I'll do it. Jack can you get him something to put on his cut."

"Yeah, sure. Come on Zach." Jack offers a hand to me that I take as he helps me walk. I glance back and look at Jonah who isn't focused on me at the moment but rather tending to the mess alongside Daniel and Corbyn. I look ahead again and continue up the steps. What just almost happened?
