Swingin' By (TJ + Cyrus) [Tyrus]

Chapter 2.

TJ's POV

"There's no reason why I shouldn't fall for him, over my dead body! I'm so straight. Why is he even in my life, should I even care about him? But even the small things that he does, I blush."

It's been days since I've seen Cyrus, after his bash mitzvah, I started to wonder why he's been so supportive over his best friend, Buffy! I know he has a crush on Jonah, but to be honest.... "I wish it was me!" I haven't never felt anything like this before it's like my heart is beating and it's been shattering to pieces, I know he's out of my league!

Meanwhile...

Cyrus' POV

"Have I done something wrong?! Did he give me the cold shoulder? I'm just confused with my life and it's Jonah 2.0 all over again with this guy I liked for so long but lately after my birthday it's been quiet. It's like TJ never notices me anymore."

Things with TJ have been okay so far! We have been close since the swings and him giving me a muffin when I need help but ever since my bash mitzvah, it's been clear that TJ has been ignoring me.. "Why is he doing this to me?"

"Why do I feel like this?! Did I ever feel what I'm feeling towards someone?! Did I say it with Iris when I dated her, well YES, but this is different! Sigh, what to do with my life when I don't have one anymore. He completes me even though I haven't confessed my feelings for him"

I know I liked Jonah, this is in the past tense, but something grew outside me even when I met him, TJ. I feel like I can understand more and open up to him when I want. He knows me more than Jonah could've been.

Later that evening...

At the park...

TJ's POV

"And it's breaking my heart, tearing me apart, it's impossible to choose, what if I don't try, what if I do?"

How could I learn to live wondering "what if?"

That lyric from the Cheetah Girls was from my playlist and I automatically just overthinking it. I would never get a chance with Cyrus even if he is still dating Iris.

The funny thing is, I know more there is to Cyrus than anyone else since me and him have stuff going on, me with my dyscalculia and him with his sexuality and discovering who he is, I never knew he was gay or bi. But I was intrigued when I first met Cyrus but I disclosed my feelings towards Cy, my chocolate chip muffin. I don't want him to know just yet. I just don't want to get hurt

Walking by was Cyrus, oh sheesh why is my heart beating?!

What will he say to me?!

Cyrus' POV

"What if he likes me, what if he doesn't, why is love complicated?! I don't even know what I like anymore."

I went to the park and cleared my mind, and there he was TJ Kippen, the guy who is definitely onto me. I'm just nervous what to say to him.

TJ and Cyrus' POV

TJ: Hey
Cyrus: what's up?!
TJ: The sky, that's what up!
Cyrus: Haha that's very funny, what have you been up to??

TJ: not much, just thinking about life and what's going to happen.
Cyrus: I've been thinking about my stuff and that's what I been doing. TJ, can I ask you a question?!
TJ: sure, muffin!
Cyrus: why have you been ignoring me?! I didn't mean to be rude, but it's been weird lately between us.

TJ: lately it's been a struggle with school and practice, it's not your fault and I just wanted to know that we're okay. You know back to normal.
Cyrus: back to normal?! NOTHING ABOUT ME IS NORMAL, I am ABNORMAL. I'M SORRY IF I'M BEING EMOTIONAL, But I can't help it when one of my closest friends is ignoring me and I can't allow that to happen!
TJ: just trust me on this. Please!

TJ's POV

I never noticed that Cyrus was worried about me, I thought I was doing him a favor, all he needs is a hug. I hugged him so tight.

Cyrus' POV

I felt his hug so tight however I can tell he really is sad, so I did the unexpected, I gave him a kiss on the cheek to make him feel better although, when I was done, his smile never left.

TJ's POV

I smiled for the first time! I felt satisfied. Although I never said what my feelings are towards Cy, my muffin, I still feel happy!

No one's/Third POV

"Sometimes you can't choose who you fall in love with, it just happens"

Author's Note:

"Sometimes you can't choose who you fall in love with, it just happens" this quote is so true in so many levels. Can people agree with me on that?!

Thank you so much for the massive support on my first chapter and this book in general. I have more in store, stay tuned my Joshers, my loves ♥️♥️
