Tyrus: Love is Timeless

Chapter 12

Andis POV

I was devastated since I had woken up this morning. I told Tj he could trust me and I ruined that trust. I walked into the kitchen where Bex was sifting through a magazine. I placed my head onthe table and groaned. "What's wrong?" she asked me as she closed the magazine with wedding dresses.

Her wedding was months away in April and now it was November. "I messed up" I began to tell her. "How?" she asked me as she stood and went to the freezer.

"Remember tj the guy who called me about Cyrus?" I asked her still feeling anxious about whats happened. "OOOOhhhh yea what has happened? I want to know more" she sang as she brought two spoons and a tub of ice cream to the table.I groaned and put my spoon in the ice cream and took a scoop.

"I betrayed his trust by not calling tj to ask why he kissed amber" and bex stopped me. "wait he did?" she asked intrigued."yea he needed to apparently for confirmation that he was gay and instead of asking tj about it" I paused and grimaced. "You did something stupid?" she giggled.

I gave her face to let her know this was serious. "Mom its serious. Since I told buffy and cyrus instead of letting tj explain - everything went wrong and I found out from amber that tj is in the hospital." I stopped and inhaled and exhaled slowly.

Bex made a hand gesture telling me to go on. "hes in the hospital because he tried to kill himself. His mom wasn't accepting of him being gay." I whispered.

"Omg" bex said. "Do you want to go see him?" bex asked already moving to get her keys. "I shouldn't. Its not my place. I betrayed his trust." I complained. "Andi you need to and not for you- for him. So he knows that you feel sorry and that he has support" bex said and she took me by the hand and we went.

TJs POV

I was still in the hospital as they wanted me to stay overnight. Since I wasn't really a physical threat to others or myself they didn't restrain me to the bed. I was thankful for it.

My chest still felt pained after having seen cyrus the day prior. I wanted to just forget it as I knew the day where we could be together was not in my cards. I decided to nap but there was a tap on the door.

My nurse Gale came in to take my vitals. "Hi tj. I'm coming to take your vitals and you have company." she smiled to me. I couldn't help but smile at the sweet woman, she was Hispanic, and had her black hair in a bun.

i didn't think I would get anymore visitors but when Andi walked in she looked cautious to walk in. After her came in a woman who resembled Andi slightly. "Hi tj." she whispered and sat in the chair next to my bed. "Hi" the woman said standing next to andi.

"This is my mom, Bex" andi said. I sat up and smiled softly at the two of them. As deep as the pain was feeling within me I couldn't help but think about the guilt Andi was feeling. Gale gave my hand a squeeze and I looked at her. She already was walking out and I hadn't even noticed she'd begun her work.

Bex POV

I looked at the boy and his eyes were blue but sunken in. He looked frail and I realized Andi was right about the attempt when I saw the red band around his wrist

I looked at him and then Andi and gave her a nudge. Tj spoke before Andi could , "you don't have to talk about this now" and andi nodded her head. "are you sure?" andi whispered. "its" he cleared his throat and continued "its too much to talk about now" I looked at andi and she inhaled and exhaled.

"ok." she said. he continued with, "so this is the bex I hear about when you talk?". He looked at me and I wanted to try to brighten his day up. "tj?" I asked. He looked at me and I continued to speak, " I cant know whats going through your mind but if you ever want a home away from home id be happy to let you crash on the couch at my place" I said.

He was shocked and then I put the bag on his bed. "Andi and I " I paused and then looked at andi then back to tj. "we just want you to know that were here for you" I told him.

I was speechless - Bex didn't know me but she was being so kind. I looked at andi and she was trying to hold back tears.

"Andi is it ok if I tell tj?" she looked at andi. "Yea" she paused and looked at me. "I'm sorry tj" she said and wiped away her tears.

"If you ever want to talk Id be happy to hear you out- no judgement. I'm not a shrink - Ive just had my fair share of painful moments in my youth after I had andi" she told me. I did see it - Bex looked really young to be Andis mom - so it clicked when she told me.

"I have my phone in the drawer - if you could add your number. I don't think ill be contacting anytime soon but I will" I told her.

As she did that Andi took the bag and handed it to me. "You didn't have to really" I said with my voice shaking. This was too much for me to handle. I sat up and took the bag - Bex walked to andi side after she placed my phone back into the drawer.

I opened the small blue bag and I couldn't help but tear up. I swallowed it though as I didn't really want to show any emotion. I took out a bear statue holding a basketball in a dunk positiin. His shirt said we care. We sat making small talk - in due time Ill explain it to everyone but not now. Now isn't the right time.
