Love

𝙹𝚘𝚜𝚎𝚝𝚝𝚎

I feel like I'm going insane, I haven't been able to sleep properly or eat. I have been so paranoid since that phone call with Tyler, it's been 4 days. I feel myself going insane and losing it, I don't know what I'm going to do, Tyler hasn't contacted me again yet but I know he's doing this to me on purpose. He is probably watching me going insane and enjoying it.

The only thing that's been keeping me at least a little sane is Cyrus. He's been keeping me company, keeping me sane. I know he's trying so hard to keep me occupied and keep my mind off things. He's starting to get affected by this too, it's obvious. But he's trying to make it seem like he's fine so I don't worry even more.

"Hey babe, how are you?" I say sitting next to Cyrus on the couch

"I'm good, why?" He says smiling

"Why are you lying? I'm not stupid, I can tell you aren't okay." I say slamming my hands on the couch

"Oh my god Josie. I didn't say you were stupid, and I am okay!" He says raising his voice lightly

"Bullshit Cyrus! This shit is affecting you, this whole thing with Tyler. I can see it" I say standing up annoyed

"Fine, fine. You want the truth? It is affecting me, obviously! I'm draining myself just to keep you sane Josette." He says putting emphasis on the word 'you'

"I didn't ask you to do that Cyrus! Never once did I ask you to do that for me, you starting doing that on your own." I say stepping closer to him

"Because I care about you, you ever thought about that? You don't need to ask me to be there for you! You don't need to ask me to help you, I care about you and I don't want you going insane!" He yells

"I know you do, but you are getting pissy and loud with me because of what?!" I yell back

"Because while I am busting my fucking ass to help you, you aren't doing the same shit for me! Did you ever stop to think how this shit is seriously fucking me up? I can't concentrate while I'm teaching my classes. This is the first time you have asked me if I'm okay! So to answer your question, no I'm not." He yells rubbing the back of his neck in frustration

"Why didn't you say shit?!" I yell

"Why did it take so long for you to finally ask me?!" He yells

"Oh I don't know maybe because my ex boyfriend is most likely probably watching me and planning on killing me!" I say getting in his face

"Wow I didn't think about that Josette, thanks for filling me in on shit I have been living through for the past 4 days! He threatened me too!" He says

"What happened to the big bad strong man persona you have been putting on for me huh? Is he a little scared bitch now?!" I yell mocking him

"He's still here little girl, but no one likes to know they are being watched and threatened! No one!" He yells

"Oh I'm the little girl?! If I'm such a 'little girl' like you just said then why the fuck are you still with me protecting me and shit?!" I yell smacking my hands together forcefully

"Because I fucking love you Josie!" He yells and storms off to his bedroom slamming the door shut

Once he said that I went dead silent, I couldn't believe he actually said that. He loves me. I feel my heart warm up and a smile come to my face. I slowly walk to his bedroom and take a deep breath before knocking lightly.

"Cyrus.. let me come in please." I say with a quiet tone

Just a few seconds later the door unlocks and he opens staring at me. I stare back at him and slowly step closer to him wrapping my arms around him. He hugs me back immediately and takes a deep breath out in relief squeezing me softly. I rub his back gently and he kisses the side of my neck.
