I Don't Do Sadness // Jyrus

gloom

Cyrus was taken out of Jonah's house. He tried to plea and asked to stay, but they took him to his father's house, where his step-mother was waiting, crying at the front door. She didn't seem mad, she pulled Cyrus into a hug and rubbed his hair as they both cried into each other.

Jonah's mom, though, was mad. She and his dad yelled at him like he had never heard. Ultimately, they felt bad and understood, but they had to stand their ground and punish him. Jonah took it all without a fight, knowing that he had done something wrong, and when he was turned away to go to his room, he felt upset. It wasn't for his parents, though, it was for Cyrus.

He was worried for him and hoped that he'd be alright, which he was. His parents didn't get mad and they listened when he explained everything that had happened. He showed them his bruises and his healing burns, and they believed him. During the first night that he was home, his mother didn't call, which was proof enough that she didn't care. And they knew that they had to make a change with custody.

Cyrus wasn't planning on talking to Buffy. He was glad that she called the police but was upset with her for doing so. He didn't go to the last three days of school and was surprised to hear a knock on his door shortly after the last day. Once he opened it, he saw Buffy, Andi, and Jonah staring back at him with smiles.

Cyrus had a feeling of embarrassment when realizing that they were seeing him in a pair of shorts, which they hadn't seen in a while. That's not where their eyes went, though, they looked at his own sadness filled eyes and Andi said, "We were wondering if you wanted to go to The Spoon with us."

Cyrus opened his mouth, but no response came out. Luckily, Buffy added, "You don't have to eat anything if you don't want." Cyrus laughed and smiled at them. "No, I will."

I know, I know, my publishing schedule sucked for this. I did a solid everyday one for a month but then once June 5 hit, I was done and started using my time to do other things. I will say that I have many ideas for upcoming books (Andi Mack, maze runner, and just general books) and now that it's summer, maybe I'll write a bunch, presuming that work won't get in the way of anything.

Thank you all so much for the reads, votes, and comments. You have no idea how much it brightens my day to get a notification from wattpad. If you want more, you could always follow me here and on my Tumblr @jyrusisdead

(also, each chapter is titled a different word for sadness so now you know some cool synonyms)
