~TJ's POV~

The loudest thunder clap, issued by Thor himself, awoke me from what was a peaceful sleep. I jolted upright and immediately started sweating.

"Jesus Christ" I muttered as I held my heart.

I looked at my phone for the time.

3:46 AM

"Great." I sighed and decided to go onto my phone and scroll through anything and everything I could to get my mind working. Now that I'm awake, there was no way I was going back to sleep. I got to a picture of Cyrus, Reed and their parents and smiled. It was an odd ball family considering Reed and Cyrus's history, but it was cute. Especially Cyrus's smile.

"I hate you! I wanted you for this and you couldn't even give me that!"

"Cyrus I...." My voice left the air as I started to choke up.

"No TJ. No. I can't do this anymore! Every annoyed look you give me when I want to hang out with Jonah, MY BEST FRIEND, WHO HAS A BOYFRIEND!!! Every moment you have to disappear for portions of the day without just giving me a heads-up, it irks me. I'm your boyfriend! You're suppose to care about how I feel, because boy is that all I think about when it comes to you. Maybe it's best I just worry about myself... I'm done" He spoke with tears in his eyes. His hands were in fists. Cyrus never gets angry. Then, my heart shattered as he took off my red cap from his head and threw it at my chest. I watched as it hit the mulch of the park ground and my emotions just.... they just imploded.

Cyrus left the swings and me. I fucked up. Bad. I've fucked up before, but never to the point where Cyrus had gotten like that. I couldn't put myself aside for one day to help Cyrus. Now I ruined the best thing I've ever had. At the place where we made it all work.

Three months. It still hurts to think about. I'm surprised I was even able to fall asleep tonight. Likely from pure exhaustion of missing so much sleep. It's sucked. I failed him and now he hated me. A knock at the door that connect my room to the shared bathroom I had with Marty pulled me from my thoughts.

Marty stepped through the door with his pillow and a bag.

"Can't sleep again?" He asked as he threw his pillow on the floor and placed the bag down.

"Nope. Storm keeping you up?" I asked, remembering how much Marty hated storms.

"Yup" He smiled and shrugged.

"What's in the bag?" I asked.

"Snacks. We're watching a movie" He said and revealed a few snacks from the bag.

"What movie though?" I asked and he laughed.

"Only the hit classic...... Wreck-It Ralph!" He revealed a disc of the aforementioned movie. I dramatically gasped as he put the movie into the DVD player. Honestly shocked I even had one in this generation.

"Now, we forget about our problems and watch the greatest movie ever created" Marty smirked and got comfortable on the floor.

~Cyrus's POV~

"Planning a wedding is ROUGH" I complained as Reed looked at me, deadpan.

"All we're doing is saying yes or no to some dresses." He responded which made me gasp.

"This is the most important part of the wedding, how dare you!" I dramatized and turned my head from him.

"No wonder you and TJ got along so well, you're both so dramatic." He laughed, but realized his mistake.
