The Sleepover - Part 1

The Good Hair Crew have a sleepover, which causes both a break up and new relationship to be formed.


Andi POV


I had been planning a sleepover for a couple of days, and wanted Buffy, Cyrus and Jonah to come along. I've always enjoyed having such a good relationship with my friendship group, although I was with Jonah, and looked forward to seeing him.


I set my room with a movie and snacks, and waited patiently for my friends to arrive. To my surprise, Jonah was the first.


Jonah: Andiman! How are you?


Me: I'm great Jonah.


He hugged me, but something felt different to how it usually was. It was almost as if Jonah felt uncomfortable and that the hug was forced slightly.


Me: What's wrong?


Jonah: Oh nothing Andi, I'm fine.


The fact that Jonah couldn't look at me in the eyes made me doubt that he was telling the truth, but I decided to ignore it and focus on the sleepover.


Buffy POV


I was walking with Cyrus over to Andi's house for the sleepover.  I knew how Cyrus felt about Jonah, and that he wasn't entirely happy to be going. I could tell from his face that he was already sad.


Me: Cyrus, it will be fine.


Cyrus: It won't Buffy. I'll have to watch Andi and Jonah show their affection to each other.


Me: I know it's difficult Cyrus, but remember that I have to watch them too. I know I don't like Jonah, but I don't exactly like affection.


Cyrus: We'll just have to get through it together then.


Me: Deal.


I placed my arm around Cyrus and kept it there until we arrived at Andi's. 


Cyrus POV


So this was going to be hell, I just knew it. What made it worse was that Andi and Jonah had no idea that they were hurting me so much. I knew that whatever happened, Buffy wasn't going to enjoy it either.


As we arrived at Andi's place, Buffy knocked on the door. It was answered almost immediately by Andi, and I noticed that Jonah was already there. Remaining polite, Buffy and I hugged Andi.


Andi: Hey guys, glad you made it.


Buffy: Hey Andi.


Me: Hey.


As we walked into Andi's bedroom, she put the movie on and we sat down on her bed, with her covers over all of us. Andi sat at one end, followed by Jonah, myself and Buffy. I wasn't sure whether to be happy or sad that I was sat next to my crush.


Jonah POV


I've felt weird ever since I arrived at Andi's house. She really isn't making me as happy as I thought. Don't get me wrong, she is great, and I love her, but in the way I would love a friend or family member, not as my girlfriend.


Occasionally as we watched the movie, she would lean her head on my shoulder, and it felt awful. I looked to my other side and saw Cyrus. We were watching a horror movie and, based on his facial expression, I guessed he was scared.


Cyrus: I can't do this!


He was about to get up and leave the room, but I found myself gently holding his arm. I hated seeing him so upset, and I wanted to be there for him, seeing as he is always there for everyone else.


Me: Calm down bro, it's not real life.


Cyrus: I know, but it's horrible. I wish I hadn't come here.


I was about to reply when he indeed ran out of the room. I felt bad that he was scared, but before I could do anything, Andi spoke to me.


Andi: You know, you showed much more concern for Cyrus than you ever have for me.


Me: He's my best friend Andi. It hurts to see him upset. He does so many nice things for people and yet sometimes he gets treated badly.


Buffy: I've never heard you speak like that before.


Andi: Neither have I, and yet I'm your girlfriend.


Me: I know, but I've realised that I don't love you like that.


There was a small pause in conversation before I realised what I had said. I was telling the truth, but I was surprised that I said it.


Andi: You don't?


Me: No, I love you so much, but I'm not in love with you. I'm a horrible person because I've not been fair to anyone.


Andi: You might have a point. I don't want to be with you unless you want to be with me.


Me: I'm sorry Andi, but I can't continue our relationship.


Andi: Okay, but we can still be friends right?


Me: Of course we can, I never want to stop being friends with any of you.


I hugged both Buffy and Andi, before I remembered what I was going to do.


Me: I better go and find Cyrus, I hope he's okay.


Andi: Just before you go, I want to ask you a question.


Me: Go ahead.


Andi: Do you like Cyrus?


I looked puzzled that they needed me to answer that. Cyrus is my best friend.


Me: Of course, he's a great friend, my vest friend.


Buffy: No, we mean, do you like-like him?


Me: W-what? No, t-that's, w-what?


Andi: OMG you do like him!


Buffy: You should tell him.


Me: I... but... why?


Buffy: Trust me, you need to tell him.


Andi: Is that a good idea?


Buffy: I swear you are both blind!


Me: I'm just a little reluctant to believe he would ever like me.


Andi: Wait, Cyrus does like Jonah?


Buffy: Yes, and there really is no time to explain. Jonah if you don't tell him now, you may lose your chance to.


I went off in search of Cyrus with thoughts crowding my head. I couldn't think properly, which made things even more difficult. I just hoped that Cyrus was okay and that he really did like me back.


Again, this story became quite long so there will be a Part 2.
