Cyrus' POV

I'm sitting on the couch waiting for Iris so I can start the documentary, she walks in the room with popcorn and drinks, she hands me the bowl of popcorn and I thank her

"Is it too salty?" she asks

"It's perfect." I reply

"The movie?" she asks again

"All cued up." I say

She dims the light and asks; "Better?"

"Much. Now we can really see all the scales and teeth." I say

She sits down next to me and I ask; "Ready?"

"Mm-hmm." She replies

I turn the tv on and we hear growling, "Komodo dragon!" we say simultaneously

She then grabs my arm and I excitedly say; "Pit viper!"

"What's he eating?" she asks

"Don't worry, it's just a mere-cat." I reply and we giggle

"You're so funny." She says to me

We continue to watch the documentary

"Ugh, I thought turtles were cute." She says

She gasps and I ask her; "Should I turn it off?"

"No, I'm having so much fun. Aren't you?" she says

"I sure am!" I say with a small grin

Iris takes the remote and lowers the volume then puts her head on my shoulder, I seem a bit confused

"Can I watch it from here? I feel safer. Like you're protecting me." She says

"From these guys? Not a chance. We would both be so dead by now." I say trying to focus on the documentary

Then she says; "I would miss you." And I get a bit uncomfortable

I reply a bit nervous; "I'd miss you, too."

Suddenly she closes her eyes as if she's motioning me to kiss her, I don't know what to do

I quickly peck Iris on the lips and she instantly notices something is wrong

She opens her eyes and has a confused look on her face, I look a bit sad and confused

"I'm sorry." I say looking at the ground

"For what?" she asks

"That was- that was terrible." I say looking at her for a second

"It'll get better." She tells me in a comforting tone

I sigh and look at her, "No, it won't." I say

She looks sad and it hurts me

"I'm um- I'm gonna go. I'm sorry." I say and quickly leave her house

Iris' POV

Did I do something wrong? Was I a bad girlfriend? I start remembering everything that happened tonight, then I realize something. I turn off the tv and quietly walk to my room. I close my bedroom door and lock it. I feel like crying; Cyrus likes someone else. The more I think about it, the more I feel like crying. I was thinking for too long, I didn't even realize I was actually crying. I get ready for bed, and lay down on my bed. I fall asleep crying and thinking; I was gonna talk to Cyrus tomorrow. If he didn't like me, then we weren't meant to be.

I wake up with my eyes red; had I been crying all night? I put my clothes on and put some makeup to make it look like I hadn't been crying. I text Amber to meet me at my house so we could walk to school. I would feel better talking about this to someone. Amber has been having some problems too, I trust her and she trusts me.

Iris; hey could we walk to school today, I really need to talk to someone

Amber; sure ill be at ur house in 5

Amber arrives at my house and we start walking to the high school

"What's up, you look like you've been crying." Amber says

My eyes widen, "You can tell?!" I ask with worry

"What happened with your date last night." She asks

I groan and stop walking and I feel my eyes getting watery

"Cyrus… likes someone else." I say while looking down

"Did he tell you?" she asks me

"No, but-"

Amber cuts me off, "Then how do you know?"

"Because we kissed! Kinda, then he apologized, then he left!" I say quickly

"Doesn't mean he likes someone else, you should just talk to him after school." She tells me

I didn't even notice we were already at school

We walk to our lockers then to class, the whole day I'm thinking about Cyrus, I wasn't paying attention, so I got detention. Great.

Iris; could we please talk the spoon after school?

Cyrus; sure…

After school I walk to The Spoon and I see Cyrus sitting by himself and he's… crying?

When I walk to the table he jumps when he sees me, I sit across from him and he's looking down

"I'm sorry." We both say simultaneously and we both giggle

"I'm sorry I left." He says

"Why did you? Did I do something wrong?" I say

"No! You didn't, I did." He says quickly

"What did you do?" I ask worried

"Iris… I'm so so sorry… you're an amazing girl but… I don't like you the way you like me." He says and starts crying even more

"Please don't cry, it's ok." I say as I walk over to sit next to him

"I know." I say and he looks up at me

"What?" he says a bit scared

"I know you like someone else." I say with a small smile

He hugs me and cries on my shoulder, but I don't care, I hug him back

"It's Cyrus, I'm not mad." I say and we break away from our hug

"Really?" he says as he wipes his tears

"Yes Cyrus, I promise I'm not mad." I say with a smile

He smiles at me and I return to the opposite side of the table

"So should we order something while we're here?" he says happily

"Sure, but can I ask you something?" I say

"Anything?" he tells me

"What's her name?" I ask

He sighs then looks at me

"It's not a girl…" he says quietly

My eyes widen

"Jonah" he whispers
