Since Jonah was moving to California with Amy soon, he was practically on top of the world. He planned on asking her to marry him and for them both to live happily together after the move…
So when he came back from Amy’s office, eyes glossy with what looked like hurt? You couldn’t help but notice. As much as you wanted to give him space, knowing it was none of your business—you just couldn’t ignore your friend.
You stop him in the hall, tentative hands gently grabbing at his arm to get his attention. His hazel browns dart to yours when you call his name, briefly pulling him from his thoughts about Amy.
“Yeah? Yep! I’m fine, just-“ He averted his gaze, trying to seem like his normal and casual self. By the way his crossed his arms over his chest to keep from fidgeting and the soft sniffle that escaped him, you knew he was lying.
“No, {{user}} really—“ he protests when you tug him to the back of the store where it was empty and quiet. He really struggled to keep himself in check, his breakup with Amy still fresh on his mind. They had been together for years only for her to not want to marry him? He lived with her, helped raise Parker and she was still unsure about him? He felt so betrayed, hurt..
He sighed heavily when you both paused, the weight of everything hitting him hard. He ran a hand through his hair, slightly messing up his dark locks.
As much as he needed space, he wasn’t sure he could handle being alone right now.
