After winter break. They are freshman 

Cyrus' POV


Lying down in my bed I've been listening to music and watching the ceiling for a few hours. Thankfully my roommate is hanging out with his friends. Otherwise, it would be awkward for him to watch me moping. How did I end like this? Well unfortunately while I arranged my clean clothes in one of my drawers I've found one of TJ's hoodie. We haven't talked for two months since we break up. 'I miss you so much'

My eyes tear when the song Born This Way starts to sound. My mind replayed the night of Andi's party, the night when he held my hand and we've got together. It was a perfect and sweet moment.


"Is there anything else you want to know?" TJ asked me. It was strange to see how suddenly he sounded nervous. I smiled when saw him moving his hand towards mine

"Is there anything else you want to tell me?" I asked him

"yeah. Is there anything you want to tell me?" he asked softly

I gave him a tiny smile "yes"

TJ smiled and took my hand intertwined our fingers. He let out a relieved sigh. I let out one too. I was happy that we both feel the same for each other.


I touch my lips when the memory of our first kiss came to my mind.


We had been dating for a week and a half and since my parents weren't at home I decided to invite TJ to watch a movie. While we were watching I felt TJ's arm around me. I looked at him and smiled. I rested my head in his chest and he started playing with my hair. Almost at the end of the movie, he withdrew his arm. I sat and he saw me with a shy smile.

We were staring at each other. I felt my heart beating so fast when I saw TJ glance at my lips and then back to my eyes. "Can I?" TJ whispered. His cheeks were pink. I nodded slightly. He put his hand in my neck and leaded. The butterflies erupted in my stomach when I felt TJ's soft lips press against mine. I closed my eyes and kissed him back.

A few seconds later TJ pulled away. The kiss was short but tender. When I opened my eyes I saw TJ's eyes sparkling and he was flushed. I giggled when he hid his face in my shoulder.


I close my eyes and the tears run for my face. 'why did it have to end?' After knowing that we got into different colleges we decided to do a long-distance relationship. At first, it wasn't so hard, we were text every day and at nights we talked via facetime. But then we got busier and busier and at some point, it became more painful to see him only through a screen. Eventually the distance beat our love and our relationship ended.


"I don't think we can make it Teej" I told him. We'd been returned to school after winter break and we were facetiming.

"I really want to tell you that you are wrong but..." TJ's voice cracked up

"it probably will be more complicate" I finished.

He nodded to agree with me. "Exactly"

I closed my eyes trying to hold my tears "I love you so much Teej but I can't do this. It's so hard seeing you only through a screen"

"I know how you feel. It's weird not to see you and hug you everyday" I opened my eyes and saw his eyes with tears. "I love you too Cy. And I wish this didn't end but apparently the distance hate us"

I laughed by his comment. We both stayed silent. I felt tears running in my face "so it is over?"

TJ let out a sob "I think so"


The broke up was mutual but it hurt. I take a pillow and hug it tightly. I bury my face and started to sobbed 'I miss you Teej'. When my crying stops, I stand up my bed and leave my room for a walk. With all the memories my mind feels overwhelming so I know that I will fail if I try to sleep. I need to clear my mind. I left my build and start walking around the campus.

A few minutes later, I sit on a bench and look at the stars. Then another of our memories came to my mind. When he took me to stargaze the night before starting our senior year.


"It is better to be worth my sneaking out" I told him when I got in his car. It was after midnight when he texted me to get out. "I should be sleeping"

"Relax Muffin. It'll be worth it" TJ grinned at me. He started his car and drove. We ended in a hill outside Shadyside. We got out of the car and he took some things from the trunk.

I gasped when I saw a telescope "how did you..."

"It's from my cousin. He lent it to me" TJ kissed my cheek "I told it would be worth it"


"It is weird to see the stars without you by my side Teej" I think loud "without you all the nights feel so long" a bitter laugh escapes from my lips "the distance really hates us. Maybe one day we will back together again. I wonder what you are doing now Teej" with a last look at the sky I stand up and start walking back to my room
