Scene 2 - Act 2: Worry

Cyrus's POV

I wake up in the hospital and see Rowan in a chair next to me sleeping. It must have been a few days since he's back...or he heard what happened. I studied his face a bit and he seemed like he's been crying. Shit why did I do this to him. I get a bit teary eyed then notice he's starting to wake up.

"C-Cyrus?!" He says then starts hugging me and crying on me "I'm so so sorry..I should have just stayed here and hung out with you and made sure you were okay I'm sorry.."

"Its fine..."

"No its really not, I've been a very shitty bestfriend" He says and stops hugging me "I um also heard what happened.." 

I stay silent and start worrying on what he'll say. After a bit he starts holding my hand.

"Look I talked to the school and Polly should get in trouble for this okay?"

I nod, I still feel a little loopy but I try to sit up a bit. Rowan starts helping me and looks honestly really worried.

"Look um...when I was in 'killer city' I made a friend" I start to tense up thinking he got a girlfriend or something.  "her name is Gray and she was really nice and helped me make some decisions for when I came back here."  

"What decisions?"

"Well first of all I'm bisexual and to do something" He says while I contemplate how fucking dumb I am. I regret doing this now it could have gone worse than this. I dont notice I spaced out thinking about my bad decisions then I see Rowan lean in front of me and he starts kissing me. I bet he can feel the heat from my ridiculously red face right now. I honestly cant think of a reason why he would do that, like I'm the worst person ever!! He then pulls away and I notice his face is pretty red as well.

"Look you get out tomorrow do you want to come over to my place and talk about this more?"

"U-U-Um s-sure" I stutter and start overthinking again. I hear a knock on the door then my dad and my mom barging in. I see my mom whisper something to Rowan then he leaves. Shit shit shit shit I'm so dead. I avoid eye contact with dad. How come whenever something good happens something shitty comes up. They sit in the chairs in front of my hospital bed. I stare at my hands to avoid eye contact with them.

"So...you're a fa-" My dad says then gets cut off by my mom

"EINAR!"

"What? he is one!!"

"That's NOT how we address this, he's your damn son you're supposed to support him". I decide to stay quiet until my dad asks me something

"How long have you been like this?"

"since....I don't know...forever?" I say quietly.

"Jesus....Honey our son was born with a mental illness"

"God damnit Einar being gay isn't a illness!!" My mom yells. They fight whether if it is an illness or not for a few minutes. I just hate how he act sometimes when gay people come up in conversation. 

"Look when you get out of here don't even think about coming home okay?! I'm NOT raising a fag and if you do...you'll regret it"

"..wasn't planing on it..." I say then Dad leaves the room. I look up and see my mom tearing up.

"I'm sorry honey...I'll try to get around this and see if you can come home okay?"

"Alright mom..." I say then mom kisses me on the forehead and leaves. I'm alone once again fun.

The Next Day

I wake up and the doctor says I am allowed to leave and told me I'm being given therapy starting next week. I change into some clothes my mom brought in. When I put on my hoodie I make sure to cover my arms instead of rolling up the sleeves like I usually do. I walk out of the hospital and start heading towards Rowan's place. I start getting more and more anxious the closer I get to his house. I go up to the door and my heart is racing and I knock on the door and wait for it to open. After a minute or two the door opens and I get pulled in by Rowan. Before I know it he's hugging me tightly.

"oh u-um hey" I say nervously.

"Don't ever try that again okay? I promise I will always be with you and support you" He says then stops hugging me. "S-so um If you want we can go into my room and play video games?"

"S-sure" I say with a little smile on my face. We play videogames for a few hours then I look over to him and it seems like he's thinking about something.

"whats up? you seem worried and overthinking" I ask while moving over closer to him.

"...Why exactly did you try to do it?" He asks while looking over at me. He looks like he's going to cry or something. "I-I get that you really wanted to stay in the closet and avoid this mess with your family and school but why go that far? there has to be another reason." I take a moment to formulate an answer.

"...I didn't think you liked me...I thought you were straight and hate me for being gay.." I say quietly. I feel tears brim my eyes and try to avoid eye contact. Shit, Cyrus don't cry here in front of him.

"Hey, Look at me" He says while I start to look at him and start crying. He starts wiping away my tears. "I could never hate you Cy....to be honest with you...I love you.."

My heart basically exploded and my cheeks are red as all hell. He holds me hand and starts kissing me and out of nervousness I kiss back. I cant believe I'm kissing the guy of my dreams this is amazing. After we pull away from each other we are both red as all hell. I smile a bit then say-

"I-I love you too..." I get closer to him and rest my head on his shoulder while we hold hands. "I guess w-we are a think now, r-right?"

He laughs a bit then replies with "Y-Yep". Rowan puts on Netflix and puts on Jessica Jones, we were practically obsessed with the show and would have sleep overs to watch the new episodes on TV. We cuddle and re-watch season one then we eventually drift off to sleep.
