Supreme: oh before you do!
Full summary: Zane and Syrus' parents had a divorce less than a year ago. Both parents wanted custody so Zane had to stay with his father; Syrus was with his mother. One of Jaden's parents is looking for love. What happens when they collide with one of the Truesdales? How does this affect the other?
XxX
Life was normal at Delta High. You know—flushing underclassmen's heads in toilets, knocking down their books—the normal high school. One of the freshmen being tortured was Syrus Truesdale. He has been tormented ever since he entered this high school. He was tortured during his junior high school years, as well. His tormentors were ruthless. One of his tormentors was… his older brother.
The supposed brother was Zane Truesdale, top student out of hundreds of students. He was kind a year ago. Their parents' divorce caused him to be bitter to his friends and brother. He had turned his back on his friends and became influenced by the worst crowd of students here at Delta High.
Syrus lived in constant fear of his brother. They don't live together anymore because of the divorce. Their parents both wanted custody so they decided to take one boy each. Syrus lived with their mother while Zane lived with their father. Syrus regrets every day he couldn't spend with his brother. He wanted to do all of it over. Their parents said constantly that it wasn't their fault, but he couldn't help but deny the fact. The day they were told about the divorce was still clear in his mind like it was yesterday.
Flashback
"Syrus, Zane, can we talk to you in the room?" Zander, the boys' father, asked.
"Wait, wait, wait!" Zane said, pushing some buttons on the controller rapidly. He and Syrus were playing Tekken on their Playstation (which I don't own!). Zane was kicking Syrus' butt. He was so close and… "I win!" Zane cried, throwing up his controller. The controller fell back down on his head. "Ow…"
"Are you done yet?" Zander asked.
"Yeah, sure," Zane and Syrus said in unison. They put away the controllers and walked to their parents' bedroom.
"Sit on the bed, boys," Zander said. Zane and Syrus did so. "We need to talk."
"Zane took the last cookie! I told him not to, but he did!" Syrus blurted out of nowhere. Zane gawked at him.
"Syrus, I trusted you! I told you not to tell! What kind of brother are you?" Zane screamed. Zander looked at them confused before his mouth dropped.
"That's where my cookie went!"
"I'm sorry!"
"That's not what we need to talk about!" Candy, their mother, said, trying to stop the now arising argument.
"Oops…" Syrus said. Zane glared at his brother.
"On a serious note," Zander said, "we need to tell you…"
"Tell us what?" Zane asked.
"We… we might have a divorce," Candy said. Zane smiled.
"Then I demand child support!" he yelled playfully.
"And I demand our new house be pink!" Syrus joined. The two laughed.
"You two can help pick out my new house. It will be yours, too. You'll come and visit and stuff," Zander said, smiling. Zane's smiled slowly faded.
"Wait… you're… you're not serious… right…?" he asked.
"I'm sorry…"
"You… but why…?" Syrus asked as tears welled in his eyes.
"We've been thinking… it's not good if we keep fighting, and it'd be better if we just stayed friends rather than hating each other," Candy explained.
"I can deal with you two hating each other if it means keeping our family together…" Zane said as tears spilled from his eyes. Zander smiled sadly and patted his head.
"I don't want this… neither does your mother. Just remember it isn't your fault. We both love you so much," he said. Zane lowered his head. Syrus just burst into tears. Candy comforted him; Zander hugged his older son. Zane broke away and began to walk out of the room.
"Do you wanna talk about it?" Candy asked. Zane shook his head. He opened the door and left. Zander frowned and looked at his wife. He patted his other son's head.
"I'm sorry, Syrus," he said. Syrus smiled at him sadly.
"I understand…" he said. Zander ruffled his hair and patted his back.
"Tell ya what," he said. Syrus looked up at him. "I'll take you and Zane out for a father-son day!" Syrus smiled brightly at him.
"Thanks, Dad!" he said.
"If you ever wanna talk about the divorce, just come and talk to me or your mom, Syrus, got it?" Syrus nodded.
That night Zane had cried himself to sleep. Syrus felt guilty and tried to comfort him, but Zane kept refusing.
End of Flashback
The next day hadn't been any better. Zane was depressed and didn't talk to anyone.
Flashback
Zane sat in his homeroom before class with his head resting on the desk. He was looking forward, but he didn't seem to be all there. His face was half-buried in his folded arms. His eyes were so… lifeless.
"Is Zane okay?" Alexis, Zane and Syrus' childhood friend, asked concerned. She was more concerned than anyone else. She had been crushing on him for Heaven knows how long. They had recently confessed to each other. By recently… it was yesterday after school that they confessed.
"Not really…" Syrus said sadly. Alexis walked over to the upset 16-year-old.
"Are you okay?" she whispered. Zane didn't move. "Do you wanna talk about it?" Zane shook his head. Alexis rubbed his back. Zane sat up and shrugged his shoulders, making Alexis drop her hand. "If you ever wanna talk, I'm here for you." Zane sighed and dropped his head back on the desk.
"Alright, let's start," the teacher said. "Zane, sit up." Zane glared at him and reluctantly sat up. "Don't give me attitude or detention."
"Yes, Sir…" Zane replied quietly.
"Wow, everyone seems grouchy this morning." The students gave a mumbled reply. "Why is everyone grumpy?" He started asking around the class. "Zane, why are you grumpy?"
"I guess it's the fact that I was just told that my parents are getting divorced." Everyone else was silent. Syrus lowered his head and sobbed quietly.
End of Flashback
That day didn't go well… Well, today is a new day! Who cares at this point? Syrus sighed and grabbed his backpack. He walked downstairs and saw his mother.
"Good morning, Syrus," she said.
"Hey, Mom," Syrus said.
"Come and have some breakfast."
"I can't; I'm gonna be late for the bus."
"Oh, okay. Well, at least… take a banana! You'll have something in your stomach. You'll be full until lunch." Candy smiled at her son. Syrus smiled back.
"Okay." His mother handed him a banana. Syrus walked to the door. "Bye, Mom." Candy waved at him. Syrus boarded the bus and sat next to his best friend Jaden Yuki. He and Syrus wore the issued uniform. It was a button-down shirt of whatever colors you so please, a tie of whatever color, black slacks, and converse (or regular dress shoes).
Jaden wore a white button-down shirt with the top two buttons undone, revealing a black t-shirt, a red tie loosely tied, black slacks, and black converse. Syrus fixed his uniform, which consisted of a white button-down shirt, black slacks, a yellow tie, and black dress shoes.
"Hey, Sy, how are ya?" Jaden asked.
"I'm okay. I'm just tired I guess," Syrus answered.
"Yeah, I feel ya, man. I hate Mondays because it's right after the weekend!" Syrus smiled. "I remember when you and your bro came up here together. Those were the days, man. I remember it clearly."
Flashback
"C'mon, Sy, hurry or we'll miss the bus!" Zane yelled, running out of his house.
"I'm going as fast I can!" Syrus defended. Zane ran over to him and picked up over his shoulder. "Put me down!"
"If that was as fast as you could go then I'm carrying you!" Zane ran to the bus and threw Syrus into the seat next to Jaden.
"Man, I wish I had some sibs! I could get carried around!" Jaden said happily. Zane smiled brightly and sat on the other side of Jaden.
"If we lived close together, I would drag you out of bed!" he said, sliding his bag under his feet.
"Never mind, dude," Jaden said. They all laughed.
"Oh, look it's the dork! Syrus the Smurf Truesdale!" some 9th grader said. He and his lackeys laughed. Zane growled and stood up, towering over them. "H-hey, Zane…"
"What did you say about my brother?" Zane growled.
"N-n-n-nothing!" he replied.
"Good. Get lost!" Zane yelled. The 9th graders ran to the back of the bus. Zane huffed and sat back down.
"You'd defend me like that, too, right?" Jaden asked. Zane smiled and ruffled his hair.
End of Flashback
"I wish it was like that now…" Syrus said sadly. Jaden ruffled his already crazy blue hair.
"Zane, hurry up and get down here!" Zander yelled. Zane ran down stairs. He wore a rebellious form of the uniform. He wore a black button-down shirt left open, revealing a gray undershirt, a tie around his neck that wasn't even tied, torn-up jeans, and sneakers.
"Why, so I hafta deal with that idiot I call a brother?" Zane yelled. Zander sighed.
"Zane, you're not even in the same class as him! He's your little brother! You two are family!"
"'Family'?" Zane screamed. "Hardly, I'd say! That wimp never should have entered this world!" Neither of them said a word.
"Get ready and go," Zander said sternly. Zane's jaw clenched as he slipped on his shoes. He saw the bus and stormed out. His other "friends" walked up to the bus.
"'Sup, Truesdale," one of them said, slapping his hand onto Zane's hand, which was stretched out slightly.
"Hey," Zane said. They walked on the bus. "Oh, look, it's the loser Syrus Truesdale." He and his lackeys laughed. "Dork," he said, slapping his books out of his hands.
"Nice one," another of his lackeys whispered, slapping his hand.
'What happened to you, Zane?' Syrus thought.
