The life of Tyrus after Season 3

Despair

Cyrus POV

Slowly I started to understand what happened in reality. Me and TJ got outed. In God's name, how was that possible? I couldn't think straight with that strong headache. When I put my hands on my head I could feel a bandage. Ms. Mandarin stopped me quick before I could take it off.

"Please don't take it off yet. You got an injury when you collapsed to the ground."

I heard her words but they had no meaning to me. Nothing had any meaning to me at the moment. I looked at TJ, he was leaning against the wall looking to the ground. It seems like he isn't any better than me. His eyes were looking as dull as I felt. Then I looked to Buffy, Jonah, and Marty. That's when I realized someone was missing.

"Wait. Where is Andi?"

Nobody wanted to answer, but today I'm really having none of it.

"Could you guys talk to me? I just asked where Andi is and I'd like an answer!"

Everyone flinched a bit. It's not often that I raise my voice. Jonah was the first to talk.

"She's with Bex and Bowie in principal Maxwell's office probably getting suspended..."

Something broke in me when I heard that. I think my emotions were coming back to me and they were hitting me like a truck. The next thing I knew I was running to the office. Is Andi getting framed for this? She couldn't have done that. I refuse to believe that! I know her since second grade, there's no way she would do that to me and TJ! Speaking of TJ he was also running, catching up to me. Stopping me right in front of the door to the office. He was holding my shoulder blocking me from going further.

"Cyrus don't. Maxwell said he's gonna talk to us later, we just need to wait."

These words fueled my newfound emotions to an extent I wasn't aware one could feel.

"Wait? Wait for what, for Andi getting punished? TJ there's no way she could've done something so awful to us. And now you tell me to just wait!? We gotta do something!"

"CYRUS THIS NOT ABOUT YOU ALONE!"

I was thrown off by TJ's tone. I never saw him like this. He made a short pause, to adjust his volume.

"We just got outed in front of everyone, before you start to care or even think about Andi, you could start with us. With you! This isn't an easy situation for me either, my whole world just crashed down and it looks like you couldn't care less!"

...Right. I completely forgot about him. I completely forgot about us. I was so focused on doing the right thing that I completely forgot to take a moment to process what happened. And to top it all off I completely forgot about TJ who's just as much as affected by all of this as me. God, I feel awful. I feel horrible. For what happened to us and what I did to TJ. My eyes started to get filled with water. Crying is the last thing I could use right now, but I couldn't help myself. I pulled TJ into a hug, making sure he wouldn't see my tears.

"You're right... I'm sorry."

At that moment the door to the headmaster was opened. I pulled myself together to see what happened. A crying Andi was leaving the room. Bex was comforting her as much as she could. Bowie was looking to ground, defeat was written all over his face. I wanted to say something. Anything to let her know that I don't judge her. But I couldn't think of any words and so they just left.

"TJ, Cyrus you're already here I see... Please come in."

That was Mr. Maxwell's voice speaking from the office. He started talking once we sat down.

"First of all, I'm truly sorry about what happened. If I didn't request to Andi to show her project in front of the whole school, this never would have happened."

I was just sitting there, letting everything sink in. TJ was taking the lead in this conversation.

"What will happen now? Will you inform our parents?"

"You can surely see that I have to. This is something I cannot leave uncommented."

TJ went silent. I can literally feel what's going through his head. Fear, shame and anger. We said we were waiting to come out to our parents when the time's right. But now that got taken from us. His disappointment was the most present feeling in this room at the moment.

"Can we at least do it ourselves? We're not out to our parents yet. We wanted to wait until we were sure enough of our relationship. Now that this seems impossible, I want to do it myself at least."

This has been the bravest thing I have ever heard from TJ. But he's right and I nod my head in approvance.

"Sure, I'm not going to take that away from you if that's your wish. But they need to know until Monday. Both of you can go home if you like. Maybe it's better for everyone when they slept on it a few nights. I just want you to know if both you have any trouble because of what happened this morning, that I will take care of it. Ok boys?"

I had to bring it up now. Now or never.

"And what's happening to Andi? Will she be ok?"

Mr. Maxwell was clearly looking for words. He was always one to keep it very formal, but right now I wish he would just spit it out.

"She's suspended until the end of Christmas break... I can hardly imagine she would do something cruel. You as her friends surely know this, but I was required to make a move. SAVA was infuriated with what happened this morning. For them, it's clear that Andi committed this act. She was also denied her enroll in SAVA when the school year finishes."

This is not right. This just can't be right.

"But Andi didn't do it. There has to be something we can do. What if we find the true culprit?"

"If you're able to do that, you can do that, but I doubt you will have much success, the school was open for everyone thanks to a defect at the rear entrance. The whole school could've done it. But I must ask you to leave now. I have a lot of things to take care of right now because of this incident."

And with that, the most awful, most tragic morning in my whole life came to an end. After we left the building, we went to The Spoon. TJ and me discussed that it maybe would be better if we wouldn't see each other this weekend and come out individually to our parents. The shock was still deep and coming out for him felt like it was something he had to do on his own. I already came out a few times to my friends and he didn't. I accepted his request but we agreed to write each other. Honestly, I just wanted him to go home at this point. The whole situation is probably even more painful to him than it is for me, so once he'd be in his room he wouldn't have to act so strong and let it all out.

A/N: I guess that's the end for this chapter. This time it was Andis turn to get her share of despair, but don't worry the show is not over yet, there is still someone of the cast who hasn't suffered enough. I know I'm evil but I'm one of those people who like to see the world burn, so y'all have gonna to endure it I'm afraid hehehe! :P
But thank you for that immense feedback and all these reads, after the last chapter I wouldn't have expect that. Keep it up, comment your feedback and don't forget to rate this chapter thx <3
