Reed?
How does Reed have my number? More importantly, why did he go out of his way to get my number?
Me: How did you get my number?
Reed: I asked Tj for it
Me: Tj? How does he have my number?
Reed: He got it from Buffy
Me: Ok...
Reed: Anyway, I heard that you tutor people, is that right?
Me: Yep
Reed: Ok cool. My grade in Geometry is going down as we speak. It's a C- now. I was wondering if you would tutor me on Monday's, Wednesday's, and Friday's? Please?
Thank goodness! He just wanted me to tutor him!
Me: Yes! That sounds good
Reed: Okay! Thank you so much Cyrus, I owe you big time
I set my phone back down on my bed and continued watching 'Grey's Anatomy'. An hour passed and Cyrus drifted to sleep. He woke up to a dark blueish-grey sky and rain. Cyrus picked up his phone to look at the time. 8:15am. He pulled himself up from his bed and walked towards the kitchen. There's a note on the counter.
Cyrus,
I had to come into work early today so I won't be home until around 3am due to having to deliver a couple hours away. Please stay safe! I love you!
Love, Mom
I shrugged my shoulders at the thought of having the house all to myself. My dad is upnorth hunting. Opening day was a couple days ago, he won't be back for a few more weeks. After I ate breakfast, I went upstairs to shower and get ready for this gloomy, dark day. After I got out of the shower, I switched on the downstairs TV and watched some more Netflix. My stomach growled and I thought it was time for some baby taters and a chocolate milkshake at the spoon. I grabbed my coat and made my way to my favorite hangout spot.
15 minutes later
Amber's POV
Ding ding
I looked up from the couple I am serving and I see that Cyrus is at a booth all by himself. I set the plates neatly on the couples' table and give them a kind smile before walking towards Cyrus. "Hey, Cyrus. What are you up to?" I ask in a 'nice girl' voice. "Oh you know, I'm getting the usual, Cyrus special!" Cyrus replies with a sad smile. I frown. "May I ask why you're alone? Not to be nosy or anything." Cyrus looks up at me, confused. "What? Oh- yeah sorry. I was zoning out. I didn't think about coming here with anyone, I was just hungry. Thank you Amber, for you concern." I give him a smile before walking away.
Cyrus' POV
For some reason, Amber seemed to feel bad for me that I was here alone. Technically, I am not alone since I'll have my babytaters in approximately 8 minutes and 27 seconds. I pulled out my phone and saw that I had a missed call from Buffy. It probably isn't anything since she didn't leave a message or call me more than once. I set my phone on the table and looked out the window. The outside world is such a beautiful place. I think to myself. Ding ding
I ignore the bell and keep looking out the window. Someone caught my attention by sliding into the seat in front of me. You'd never guess who.
"Tj?" More of a question than a statement.
"Cyrus?" He mocks me, smiling.
"W-what are you doing here? I mean I guess you're allowed to be here since it's a public place and nobody can stop you from coming here well a-actually, the workers can stop you but that's besides the poin-" Tj noticed Cyrus was rambling and cut him off. "You're funny. Actually, I'm here because I wanted to see my sister and get some food since she's working."
Cyrus gave Tj a confused look. "Oh? Who's your sister? Do I know her?" Tj looked over to the counter and pointed at her as she was scrambling around, trying to take orders. "That's Amber, my twin sister." Tj laughed at the sight of Cyrus' a gaped mouth making an 'o' shape. "Amber is your sister?! You're a twin? She's a twin!? I've known Amber since I was in 7th grade, how did I not know that Tj Kippen was her twin?" Tj sighed. "I don't really like to tell people, she isn't the nicest. But then again, neither am I." Cyrus noticed Tj was upset about something. "Tj...Is something wrong?" Tj snapped at him. "Nope, all good! I gotta go, see ya." Tj stood up from the booth and quickly walked out of the spoon. Something is obviously wrong. Cyrus thought. After he finished his serving of babytaters and his chocolate milk shake, he waved goodbye to Amber and headed home. As he was walking down the street, he could not believe what he was seeing. It was Tj. He had a gun in his hand.
