my best friend: a tyrus fanfiction

chapter 15

Cyrus: Yea, sure. We will meet at the park? Is 10 minutes good?

When I had received Cyrus's message I left right away, no second thought. That left me waiting for what felt like years on those swings. The sky was changing different shades of pink and orange. The buildings in the distance were becoming silhouettes creating the perfect picture.

I watched as Cyrus walked through the entrance of the park and made his way over to thing swings. My heart was pounding and my mind was spinning. I felt like the chain of the swing was going to slip out of my grip any second but I held on. When he finally reached the swing set I was barely surviving, praying that my nerves were not noticeable.

"Hi," he said sitting down next to me. The tone in his voice seemed mad, maybe not mad but somewhat annoyed.

"Hi," I said after a deep breath.

"What did you want to talk about?" he asked.

"Um. Well," It's now or never TJ, "I'm not dating Emily. I don't like her, or any girl for that matter."

Cyrus was now looking at me and I watched as a look of confused flit across his face.

"Cyrus, I know you were upset and I don't blame you because I would be too," I took a deep breath and wiped my hand on the leg of my pants, "Cyrus, I...like you."

I watched the expression on his face. A smile spread across his face. It was the kind of smile that you can't hold back for anything. He was glowing.

"TJ? I like you too," he admitted.

Somehow both of us were now standing. I stepped closer to him. The tips of our shoes were inches apart. He looked up at me. I examined his brown eyes. He was smiling to his ears and it was arguably the cutest thing I had ever seen. My hands found their way to his waist pulling him closer to me. His arms wrapped around my neck pulling me in to connect our lips. He tasted like strawberries and smelt like fresh laundry. Although the kiss only lasted a few seconds it was more perfect than I could have imagined. He took a step back and looked me in the eyes. A staring contest was beginning to take place as we stood there in the park. I sighed a sigh of relief as we looked at each other.

"TJ, what are you doing?" Amber asked through the phone.

I looked down at the paper that sat in front of me. I was surrounded by textbooks and school work.

"I'm doing homework," I lied.

"Are you sure?" Amber asked giving me a questioning look.

I sighed, "No...I'm writing a letter to Cyrus."

"Ooh why?" She asked excitedly.

"We uh- I wanted to thank him," I explained.

"For what?" she asked intrigued.

"For being a good friend I guess," I admitted.

"That's really cute, TJ," she smiled at me.

"Yea," I was nervous, "We uh...we talked a little while ago."

"Oh good!"

"Yea and we kinda...kissed," I explained.

"Oh, my god! Really? I'm so happy for you!" She yelled.

"Amber? Kathy's here," my mom said as Amber looked up at the door.

"I have to go. But, that is so exciting!" She squealed.

"Bye. I love you, Ambs," I said as I hung up the phone.

Dear Cyrus,

               Thank you. Thank you for being there for me during Amber's accident. When I got that call, you helped me more than I could have ever imagined. You showed me that you cared by not letting me drive myself. So, thank you for not letting me go by myself. Thank you for helping me with my math when I couldn't figure it out on my own because if it wasn't for you I would be failing math right now. When I told you that I liked you I was so afraid that those feelings wouldn't be reciprocated but they were and I am beyond happy that you like me the same way. You have shown me how to care about people more than myself and how to be a good friend. Thank you for being the kindest person I have ever met. I am so sorry for ever making you feel like I lead you because you didn't deserve that. I am beyond grateful to have you as a friend but also more than that. The song All My Life by Wild is the perfect way to describe this. "All I know is how I feel /And all I want is what is real /Oh, I'm /Gonna stand by you /Even on your darkest days /You know that I will never change." Thank you for being my best friend.

                                                                                                                           Love, TJ

I'm sorry this took so long to be posted!! The finale was only 4 days ago but I swear it's been forever ago! I was planning on posting this before the finale but then things got crazy and I didn't have time. This was the final chapter. Thank you to everyone who stuck with me during this whole thing! Also, if you would like Andi Mack to possibly get a season 4 go to Hulu's community page and vote!! It only works if you have a Hulu account so if you do it would mean a lot of you did that! I love you all and I hope you enjoyed this!!
