My body sat paralyzed on the cold, hard cement as drops of rain had begun to fall. Every droplet felt like acid, burning my skin. But this burning was nothing compared to the burn that I received to my soul. It was like when Buffy pushed me down on the track, but only worse because there would be no Jonah to pick me up.
Soaking in rain, I began to make my way back to my house. My body wanted to collapse right then and there, just melt into the sidewalk.
Eventually, after what seemed like hours, I made it back to my house, walking up to my room. Suddenly a rage came over me. Un-able hold in my anger, I began to throw my pillows and stuffed animals across the room. Once they were all gone and out of reach, I turned to my blankets, and eventually, everything was turned over. Anything and everything became fair game and a punching bag. Soon I spot my edible container. Unable to control the urge I quickly popped of the top of the container and put one in my mouth, letting it dissolve. Soon enough I felt my body numbing with my mouth getting dryer. Unable to stand up, I collapsed on top of my mess of a bed, drifting off into sleep.
Finally feeling at peace, I began to feel calm in my sleep, until I was awoken at three in the morning by a phone call.
Answering my phone and pulling it up to my ear I began to speak.
"Hello?" I said in a grungy voice.
"Hello, Cyrus." I head Andi start in a quivering voice. "C-Can-n y-you co-come to m- my ho-house. It's import- It's important."
"Andi, is everything okay? Are are you hurt...Do you need help?" I asked concerned.
"I-I'l tell you everything when you g-get here." She said before quickly hanging up.
Not bothering to change, I snuck out of my house through the main door. Hey, the last time I tried sneaking out through my window I had a caste on for three whole months.
Still concerned about Andi, I began swiftly walking to her house. Unable to the suspense, I began to text Buffy, asking her if she knew anything about Andi, to which she responded "No, but I'm going to her house right now."
Soon enough I reached Andi's door to see that Buffy's was already their, knocking.
"Hey." she said as I walked up the stairs onto Andi and Bex's porch.
"Hello" I said in return.
As we were waiting for Andi to open the door, I took the time to admire the masterpiece that laid out above us. The night sky just looked so perfect even with its flaws. The stars seemed to shine as one, with the faint glow barely visable just beyond the horizon signaling the coming of twilight, bringing with it the dawn of a new day. A new tomorrow. The dark sky seemed to radiate a calming joy, indicating that no matter the darkness, the light will always shine through.
I heard the turn of the doorknob, causing my body to turn around as well, presenting me with a teary-eyed Andi.
After both Buffy and I hugged and comforted her, Andi lead us upstares to her room. Something big was going to happen tonight, I just didn't know what.
After taking a deep breath and calming herself down, Andi was ready to continue.
"I don't know if you were able to tell, but during Cyrus's party, I felt really uncomfortable, like I just wanted to throw up. Well, when I came home, I ended up vomiting, but it still didn't help with the pain. Even painkillers didn't help. So, I decided to take a pregnancy test, and well..." Andi started. Unable to get the words out, she passed Buffy the test.
"Dubble Line." Buffy whispered, obviously in shock.
With that, Andi just started sobbing. The tears were pouring out of her eyes as she collapsed the to floor, saying "I'm so stupid." While burying her head in her hands.
"You're not stupid, you just made a mistake." I said sympathetically while walking over to Andi, pulling her up and hugging her.
Buffy, on the other hand, was not so compassionate. I could see the fire in her eyes as her face got redder.
"Andi, who did this to you?" Buffy asked, trying to restrain herself.
"I-I can't tell." Andi responded, obviously trying to hide something.
"You know you can tell us anything, right." I said compassionately.,
"Yea, I know, it's just that... it's just that I'm not ready to tell you guys right now." Andi manages to get out, looking down towards the floor.
With that Buffy had managed to calm down, enough so that she got up and pulled Andi into long hug
Once Buffy pulled away, Andi started to cry once more. Putting my finger under her chin, I pointe her face up towards mine and said "Hey, well get through this. We always do."
