Ch 21

Blood. 

It was everywhere.

Tj Kippen had shot Jonah Beck in the head. Tj and Cyrus didn't think it would end so soon. What now? Where are they supposed to go? I mean I guess they could just go back to their dorms and start school with the rest of the kids. But that doesn't solve the rest of their problems.

Currently Tj was standing in front of Jonahs dead body, gun still in hand. He couldn't move. Jonahs head was down and blood was poring out of his forehead. Cyrus's hands were over his ears and his eyes were glued shut.

Tj just stared. He felt weird, powerful but also..scared. He was scared of the thing he just did, he was scared of it coming back, of him coming back. "T-Tj?" Cyrus said, his hands slowly falling from his ears.

Cyrus slowly walked towards Tj and touched his shoulder. Tj quickly whipped around, gun still in hand. Cyrus gasped. Tj dropped the gun and looked at Cyrus with wide eyes

"M-Muffin" Tj said, quickly grabbing Cyrus and wrapping him in his arms. Cyrus cried into Tjs shirt. Tj was confused. Was he happy, sad, mad?

"Whats gonna happen now??" Cyrus sobbed out. Tj signed with tears running down his face "I-I don't know". Cyrus pulled away from Tj. Tj looked and his eyes and was relieved to find a small smile creeping on his lovers lips. "We did it" Cyrus said, the realization hitting him.

Tj's mouth opened to speak but nothing came out. He breathed out a small chuckle, just realizing himself. "w-we did. We actually fucking did it" Tj said. Cyrus smiled and hugged Tj, his arms going around his neck. Tjs arms set around his waist as he picked him up and spun him around.

Tj stopped and gasped, setting him down on the ground. "Where do we put the body??" Tj asked. "I saw a river while we were driving, we could dump him in there" Cyrus suggested. "Genius" Tj whispered, kissing his cheek. Cyrus blushed and smiled. Tj quickly turned around and started to grab everything he got, making sure not to leave anything behind. Cyrus helped, but he mostly spent that time tying Jonahs jacket around his head in attempt to lessen the bleeding.

Once Tj grabbed everything him and Cyrus went over to Jonah. "Ok you'll take the body to to the front while i hold the flashlight, then we can put him in the trunk and dump him in the river." Cyrus said. Tj nodded and picked up Jonah, putting him over his shoulder like it was a routine, Cyrus grabbed his flashlight and turned it on. Leading the way.

Once they were out Cyrus turned to Tj. Tj dropped the body and grabbed the keys, running over to the truck. He climbed in and turned it around, moving the trunk closer to the entrance of the sewer and stopping getting out. "Why didn't you turn the car off?" Cyrus asked. "Well first if it takes so long to put the body in the trunk that I have to turn the car off, i'll be pissed." He picked up Jonah and went to the trunk. "And you never know if you'll need to run in the car and.." He tossed the body in. "Zoom".

Cyrus giggled and ran into the car. Tj soon joining in. "Now, where exactly is this 'river' at?" Tj asked, starting to drive. "We'll pass it." Cyrus said, Tj nodded and smiled. He put a hand on Cyrus thigh. "You're happy we did this right?" He asked, wanting to make sure he was 100% comfortable. Cyrus nodded. "It's unreal. In a way, killing someone took a lot of weight off my chest." He said, laying back in the seat. "hmm. Is that it baby?" Tj asked, pointing to an opening leading to what looked like a body of water.

Cyrus nodded. Tj pulled into it and stopped the car. Cyrus looked at him and smiled softly. "After this we'll start school with everyone else, and you'll join the basketball team." Tj smiled back "And you'll be my number one supporter" Tj finished, his voice turning into a whisper. Cyrus took Tjs hand in his and squeezed it before opening the door and stepping out. Tj followed his actions and went to the trunk with him. "I wanna do this together, so you get his arms i'll get his legs" Tj said, Cyrus nodded and opened the trunk, grabbing Jonahs shirt and dragging him closer. He gagged at the feeling.

Tj grabbed his legs and Cyrus grabbed his arms. They slowly moved closer to the river, walking sideways. "On the count of three." Tj said, Cyrus nodded. "One....two...THREE"

Splash

Jonahs body floated for a bit, until the waves crashed over it. It gave Cyrus chills up his spine as he grabbed Tjs hand. He hugged Tj, nuzzling his face in his shoulder. Tj hugged him back, holding his hand softly. Cyrus thought about the image he saw moments before. It was unsettling to see a deceased classmate floating, especially if you were the cause. It made him squeeze Tjs body harder, needing human affection. Tj noticed this and picked him up, holding him by his thighs.

"You ok?" Tj whispered in his ear. Cyrus nodded and signed "Its just creepy to see him floating" He mumbled. Tj hummed in response. "Do you wanna start heading back? So we don't have to watch too long" Tj asked. Cyrus nodded again, his curls rubbing against Tjs cheek making the older boy blush. He let him down and they walked to the car. 

"Farewell, Jonah Beck"
