[ UNEDITED ]
{ CYRUS'S POV }
The same thoughts bounced around in my head for about fifteen minutes.
Tj walked me to honors chemistry. Tj Kippen walked me to honors chemistry.
I had asked my teacher to go to the restroom, since I was practically falling asleep in class. As I stepped out of the classroom, I immediately recognized the sound of voices. It sounded strained and held back. My feet curiously turned the corner of the hall, getting closer to the voices that echoed throughout the building. I came across two boys in the middle of the hallway, standing a far distance from me. I stood there, listening to the conversation. Nothing really stood out to me until-
"Oh Cyrus! Kiss me Cy, kiss me!" one of the voices squeaked loudly.
Cyrus? Me? What do I have to do with this?
The other boy stopped in his tracks and began speaking to the other.
Wait. I know that voice.
"C'mon Chris, leave me alone" Tj insisted.
I was so focused on trying to dissect their conversation, that before I knew it, Tj was on top of Chris and had begun throwing his fists at him. Instinctively, I pushed passed the few people who stood by to watch the situation, and grabbed Tj, trying to pull him back.
I couldn't let him get in trouble. I couldn't let him ruin his reputation over some jerk. He could lose his spot on the basketball team over this.
I couldn't let it happen.
He turned to look at me, revealing a side of him that I have never seen before. He was vulnerable now. The scary basketball player had now become the not so scary basketball player.
"Tj."
Through a single word, he gave into my open arms and we stood there for a few seconds. His forehead rested on my shoulder. His breath was suddenly in sync with mine, our chests moving out and in together. Without warning, he quickly pulled away.
It was now nighttime, and the entire night I replayed every moment I remembered through my head.
Why did Tj react that way? Why did he pull away? Why didn't he just walk away from Chris?
I was asking all these questions to myself, but the one question that I needed to know the answer to was - is he okay?
Remembering that I actually own his phone number, I grabbed my phone and went straight to messages.
My fingertips tapped away at the screen in front of me, deleting and retyping something just right. Something that showed I was concerned, yet not creepily concerned.
Me: Hey, Tj.
Serious, but not too serious.
Time went by, and I laid in my bed, the phone resting on my chest and my eyes wide open. The ticking from the alarm clock next to me was driving me insane, as each second that ticked by was just another second that Tj wasn't replying to my text, yet again. My phone made the most obnoxious sound, acknowledging that a text had been received.
Tj: Hey, sorry, I was busy. What's up?
Busy. I'm sure.
Me: It's chill, I was just wondering how you're doing.
Chill? It's chill? God, I'm so embarrassing.
Tj: I'm fine, but how're you?
Me: It doesn't matter right now, is your hand okay??
Tj: Why don't you ever take a second to think about yourself?
Tj: and yes, my hand is fine. It hurts a little, but I have an ice pack on it.
Aw.
Me: That's good. (:
Tj: Yeah, I guess.
Me: Can I ask you something?
Tj: You just did
Me: You know what I mean!
Tj: haha, I'm just joking with you Cy.
Tj: what's up??
Me: Why'd you do it?
Me: Why'd you hit him? Why didn't you just walk away?
Tj: I don't know.
Tj: I guess I just couldn't stand there and just let him talk about you like that.
Tj: He deserved it
Aw.
Tj: You're my friend, and it hurts when people insult my friends.
Friend. For some reason that word didn't sit right with me.
About an hour later, I found myself doing the same thing that he had done to me a few days before.
Tj: Cy?
Ignoring him.
