Trust Me (Tyrus)

11 - Single Touch

[ UNEDITED ]

{ CYRUS'S POV }

Now what?

I was positive that Tj was thinking the same thing.

I wish I could stay wrapped in this embrace forever, but I don't think that's physically possible. Sooner or later, one of us would become sick of this and would try to leave. Just like how Tj left me right after our kiss-

I sighed aloud as my mind went straight to the negative perspective of things.

-but that's in the past now, right? He would never do that to me again.

Right?

The more I thought about it, the more I sat in his arms, the more I realized that I don't even know him that well.

I had fallen for a guy that I had practically just met.

Ugh. Growing up, I told myself that I would never be one of those hopeless romantics that fall in love at first sight. Personally, I don't believe in love at first sight at all. I think it degrades the beauty of the actual process of falling in love. It literally revolves around your opinion of the appearance of the other person.

You're basically stating that you fell in love with someone based off of their looks.

I finally came back to reality and removed myself from the taller boy's arms.

My eyes began blinking profusely as the many thoughts bounced around in my head.

"What are you thinking about, Cy?"

The sound of his voice muffled the silence that surrounded our once-touching bodies.

Cy. I loved it when he called me Cy. Not very many people did it, so it felt like something special that was only between us.

My eyes focused themselves on a small crack that cut through the marble floor we stood on, studying it.

I've always been a curious person. Whenever I see cracks, dents, or marks anywhere, I try to imagine how they got there. One time, I saw a name crossed out on one of the bathroom walls here at school. It read the name Holly written in sloppy handwriting. I thought out the entire scenario out as I washed my hands, admiring the curves of each letter;

Holly is a the perfect girl that had began dating the imperfect guy who had later wrote her name on the wall as a way to quietly express his new profound love for her. After being together for what felt like a century, Holly grew bored of her current boyfriend and ended up cheating on him with someone much more exciting. Her now ex boyfriend didn't find out about this, until he found Holly making out with the exciting new replacement. The heartbroken boy became drowned in depression and when the school week came, the first thing he did was go to the bathroom and cross out her name.

"Cyrus" Tj's assertive voice interrupted my thoughts, causing me to a few times, keeping my gaze on the reflective marble floor.

"Hey, hey" his tone now expressed his concern. His pointer finger reach under my chin, lifting my head up to face him. "What's going on?"

Who knew a single touch could make you feel so alive?

"N-nothing" I dragged my eyes away from the hypnotizing marble floor and allowed them to get caught in Tj's stare.

Tj scoffed at my obvious lie. "Please Cy, I know when something's up with you. What is it?"

"It's nothing, Tj. Seriously" I insisted.
