Tyrus - the Sequel

12

ive been procrastinating so much its unreal guys

pov - Tj

I walk up to the bathroom and shut the door.  I should've just walked through the front door, bu t my mind led me to the other direction.  I'm a little dumb sometimes.

I collapse on the ground, pulling my knees to my chest.  Why did I yell at Cyrus again? Oh yeah, he gave Jonah the shirt that he was supposed to give me.  I don't know why I'm mad, I just am.

The realization hit me harder than a negative 20 degree wave of water.  That was my dad.  In me.  My dad yelled at Cyrus.  I'm thinking like him now.  My dad is in me.  He's the last person I want to be right now, but the only person I want to talk to.  My dad is the only one who knows himself, not me.  He would be able to guide me out of this by showing me what not to be.  It makes no sense in my head, but it feels right.

A tear streams down my face, wishing everything will be alright.  I want to be happy, I want free of this endless pain.

Am I overreacting? No, I'm not. Cyrus chose Jonah over me, I should be upset. I feel more hurt than angry. But to Cyrus just now, he saw angry.

My heart aches as a few more tears stream down my face. I cant stay here, I need to go home. Well, to my aunts home.

pov - Cyrus

I plop on the couch, Andi sits next to me. I stare off into space thinking about what I've done. All I did was give Jonah a shirt, instead of Tj, who is now more important than Jonah.

He has every right to be mad at me though. I chose Jonah over him in that moment, but we weren't even dating. I wanted to give the shirt to Tj, but he was with Kira. I gave it to Jonah because, Tj chose Kira over me. I didnt know what to do in the moment. I knew I used to have a crush on Jonah, and since I knew Tj would never have a chance with me, I tried to restore old feelings. I wasnt as hurt when I liked Jonah than when I saw Tj and Kira in OUR special spot.

A few years trickle down my face. Andi notices and holds my hand.

"Hey, its ok. Tj is probably just overreacting," she says sentimentally.

I shake my head, "No, he can be mad at me if he wants to. It's my fault, I shouldnt have given the shirt to Jonah,"

Andi notices my words shaking and holds my hand tighter. Buffy comes over and puts her hand on my shoulder. "Dont worry Cy, he'll come around."

"But what if he doesnt?" I ask.

Andi and Buffy both go quiet. I feel more tears prick at my eyes. I wipe them away, ignoring that they exist.

I hear footsteps coming down the stairs from where Tj ran up. I turn around, is he coming to see me? My hope shoots up.

Its Tj coming down the stairs. He makes eye contact with me. He doesn't look mad, he looks more hurt. It breaks my heart. He turns the doorknob and goes outside. Tj wasnt coming to talk to me. He came down to leave. The roar of his truck engine finalizes my thoughts, knowing hes not going to come back anytime soon.

"Give him time Cyrus," Andi says. "He cant stay mad forever."

He didnt look mad though, he looked sad. Seeing someone sad because of you is the worst feeling in the world. I havent experienced it until now. Tjs emerald eyes weren't glistening like they usually do in that moment. They were sad, almost like his eyes were frowning. I cant imagine him like that. Hes always happy around me. Seeing him sad makes me sad. I dont want to ruin Andis Friendsgiving with me being like this.
