Forever in my arms ~ Tyrus

TJ'S POV

I walked into the Dance. It was half full. Cyrus wasn't there yet.

I walked over to the snack table.

They had an okay selection of food. I saw some punch in a bowl. But it looked like it already got ruined with beer by some stupid 8th graders.

Just then someone walked up next to me. I looked over and saw Reed smiling at me.

Oh no.

I smiled at him. I decided to take my mom's advice.

"Hey Reed." I said.

"Hey, Tj, Bro. I just wanted to say I'm sorry that I did that. I didn't even like Cyrus-" he started.

"Bro, I know, my mom told me. She saw your mom at the store." I finished.

His face reddened and he looked down. "Did she tell you that... like.... I kinda-" he sheepishly asked.

"Yea, yeah she did. But it's okay dude." I answered.

He looked up at me. "You're not mad or weirded out?"

"No. It's all fine. I mean, I'm gay too, so."

We awkwardly laughed.

Just then the song "TiK ToK" by Ke$ha came on.

We used to listen to this song all the time when we went to each others houses and stuff.

We both smiled and we both said at the same time "wanna go-".

We laughed and went to the Dance floor.

I didnt even think about what Cyrus would think. I dont really even know if I cared.

We started dancing. We weren't the only ones, almost everyone else was dancing crazily.

We were dancing and laughing so hard.

"TIK TOK ON THE CLOCK BUT THE PARTY DONT STOP NO!" we sing-yelled.

"OOAAH OOH OOH!"

"OOAAH OOH OOH!"

I didnt even realize that we were holding hands when we were dancing more than just once.

I dont really remember, but I think one of Reed's other friends must have brought us some punch.

I really wasnt thinking at all. I drank it all down. The moment I swallowed, I knew it wasn't just punch in there.

The sting of it going down my throat, brought me back to the real world to realize what was happening.

The song was coming to an end and Cyrus would be here soon, if he already wasn't.

I looked at Reed and saw a part of him I've never seen.

"Hey Reed, that was really fun, brought back alot of memories, you know? But uh... I have to go find Cyrus now." I explained.

He looked disappointed, but said "Okay, bye. Maybe we can dance again before the night's over."

"Yeah, okay. Bye!" I sighed.

Part of me knew that was probably wrong to do, but another part of me liked it.

Hate me yet? No please dont. It'll get better I promise.
