When I Fell For Goodman (Jyrus Month Special)

Jonah's POV
Cyrus and I were hanging out, getting some frozen yogurt at Frosties. He got fruity blast, while I got cookies and cream.

I tap Cyrus' shoulder. "You want to go see a movie after this? Crazy, Rich, Asians was released today."

He happily agrees, as he scarfs down the last few bites of his froyo. "Yeah, let's do it!" When he finishes, we exit and head to the theater.

That, however, is interrupted very quickly. Neither of us noticed the car speeding down the street. Cyrus, unfortunately, took the hit, and I was the one who had to watch it happen.

"Cyrus?! Cyrus!" I kneel down to his still body. I check for a pulse and a breath. Both are present, but it's barely there. My breathing gets incredibly heavy, and I feel like I was dying. An anxiety attack, but that was the least of my worries at the moment.

The man who hit Cyrus runs out of his car. "Oh, nononono. What did I just do?" He starts to think for a bit, trying to figure out what to do. "I know where the nearest hospital is. Come on, we have to leave now if we're going to save him," the man says as he picks up Cyrus.

We lay him down in the back seat, and drive to the Shadyside hospital. Once we arrive, Cyrus is sent to the ER for critical care.

The doctors tell us that he's expected to make a full recovery, but they had some doubt as to when he would wake up. I stayed with him until visiting hours were over. I held his hand one last time before I left the room, and I don't even know why.

As I lie down in my bed, I get overwhelmed with so many thoughts about Cyrus. What if he's forever paralyzed from this crash? What if he doesn't even wake up? These thoughts cloud my mind, until just one lingers.

I like Cyrus Goodman.

It scares me at first. I've never had this feeling for another guy. After a while, I start to accept this. It begins to feel normal for me.

The next day, I go back to Cyrus' hospital room. This time, I hold his hand intentionally. I look at him while he's sleeping, and smile at how peaceful he looks. Suddenly, his vitals shift on the monitor. I look back at Cyrus to see his eyes creaking open.

I quickly let go of his hand, and force a smile. "Hey, Cy. It's me."

"Hi, Jonah. What happened to me? Everything hurts."

"I'll explain it later. Right now, I'm just glad you're okay."

I look at Cyrus' brown eyes. I so badly want to tell him how I feel, but he's straight. It would never work out.
