Tj P.O.V

"Are you sure you want to stay here all by yourself?" Amber asked. "Yeah it'll give me a chance to clear my head." The Kippens were going to the Kippen family reunion in East California. Tj didn't want to go; very Catholic conservative family vs. very gay Tj wasn't something he felt like handling in that moment. "Are you sure sweetie?" His mom asked. "Yep," Tj closed the trunk of the car and gave his mom a hug. "Be safe." 

"I should be the one telling you that." She said. He waved them off and went inside. Opening one of the kitchen cabinets he found a box of gluten free mac n' cheese. One that he had gotten for Cyrus because the poor guy couldn't eat almost anything. He decided to cook it and watch some tv. 

He started some homework. The math sheet staring up at him was all jumbled numbers. He sighed and put his head in his hands. Taking out his phone he flipped through some pictures of him and Cyrus. He had a lot of pictures of just Cyrus. He put his phone down and did a small work out to force his mind away from anything that had to do with Cyrus. 

Tj made himself a to-do list and did almost everything on it. Then it was late. Ten forty five, the clock on his wall read. He took out his phone again. He pulled up Cyrus's contacts and hovered his hand over the phone button. He debated calling him for awhile. Then he finally pressed call. He put it on speaker phone and started to pace the room. It rang four times before Cyrus picked it up. "Hey-Hi-Hel-what do you want?" Cyrus stuttered. "I was wondering if you'd like to come over." Tj said. "What?" 

"Yeah, to talk. I-I miss yo-yo-you and I think we should talk." Tj forced the words to leave his mouth ad they got caught in his throat. "It's eleven o'clock." Was he whispering? "Yeah well I'm thinking about you... so um... want to come over?" Tj cringed at himself, he held his breath. "Well I don't know... maybe? okay I'll be there soon." Cyrus hung up the phone and Tj jumped in the air. He ran a hand through his hair and straightened up his room. What was the point? He didn't know. Cyrus would be there soon though and he was so excited.
