7 hours later...
Cyrus stepped out of bed for the first time today. His stomach was growling from ignoring breakfast and lunch. He stepped out of his room and walked down his stairs. He wanted so much to rewind the clock and somehow make himself normal again. His step father was in the kitchen making a sandwich and looked up at the groggy boy.
"The dead has arisen" the man joked.
"Fooooddddd!" Cyrus groaned out as if he were a zombie.
The man chuckled and started making the boy a sandwich.
"Are you still upset Cy?" His stepdad asked
Cyrus really didn't want to think about it anymore.
"I don't want to talk about it right now. I just want food." He complained.
The man frowned and continued to make the sandwich.
Meanwhile at the Spoon...
Jonah walked inside the spoon to sit with his group of friends. He stopped when he saw Andi and Buffy and approached them. He was feeling bad for missing Cyrus's birthday. Back in middle school they used to be close but things changed. He had always promised himself to buy Cyrus gifts for his birthday since Cyrus always remembered to get him something. Andi looked up then away from the green eyed boy while Buffy stabbed his soul with her eyes.
"Hey guys" Jonah greeted.
"Don't hey guys us." Buffy spat.
Both of Jonah's eyebrows raised. "What did I do?" He questioned.
"Is he really not aware of what he did to me?" Andi thought.
"Are you serious...you broke Andi's heart. You ignored her. What makes you think you can just walk over here like everything's ok!" Buffy yelled.
Jonah scratched the back of his head. He didn't understand what Buffy meant. He had told Andi that he didn't like labels. He didn't feel comfortable with being labeled someone's boyfriend. He wanted to be free from all of that.
"Andi...I didn't mean to upset you. I just...I'm not into the whole courting thing. It's just not my niche." Jonah voiced.
Andi glanced up at the boy and squinted her eyes. "Not only did you ignore but you mated with other girls Jonah. I could understand if you didn't want to be with me but you should've just said that." Andi acknowledged.
"Why are you even over here?" Buffy said rudely with her arms crossed.
"I-I wanted to give something to Cyrus but I guess I'll just wait." Jonah stated turning around.
Before he could walk away his mind went directly to Cyrus. He was a terrible friend. Not only did he ignore Andi but he ignored Cyrus. Cyrus was he nicest person to ever walk this earth. Jonah turned back around and looked at Buffy and Andi.
"When you see Cyrus...can you tell him I'm sorry." Jonah announced.
Buffy was beyond pissed with the boy. She knew that Cyrus has had a huge crush on the boy since middle school but put it aside for Andi.
"If you're so sorry you should apologize yourself!" Buffy spat.
Jonah took a deep breath controlling his need yell at the girl for talking to him like he was an Omega, but he knew she was right. He slowly turned back around and walked out of the spoon.
Back at Cyrus's house...
Cyrus was back upstairs rapped in his blankets watching videos on YouTube. He was trying to forget about the last 24 hours. His mom had brought home a gallon of ice cream that he was currently eating. He heard a tap on his window and glanced over to see Jonah smiling at him. He wiggled from his blankets and set the ice cream down. He opened the window and let Jonah in.
"Hey Cyguy" Jonah greeted.
Cyrus blushed at the old nickname Jonah had given him.
"Hey...J-Jonah. What are you doing here?" He replied.
Jonah smiled at him and dug into his pocket.
"I feel bad for not being at your birthday party so I got you something." Jonah exclaimed pulling out a small necklace that had a Jewel encrusted "C"
"When I saw it I thought of you. Get it "C" for Cyrus." Jonah giggled.
Cyrus was panicking internally. Jonah hadn't even made eye contact with him in months. He didn't know wether to be mad at him or happy that Jonah was thinking about him.
"Cyrus you ok?" Jonah asked stepping forward and looking the boy in the eyes.
Cyrus was a mixed bag of emotions. He wanted to so desperately to kiss Jonah right on the lips but he also wanted to throw him out of the window. Especially for what he did to Andi.
"Did I do something wrong?" Jonah asked.
"Yes...you did everything wrong!" Cyrus voiced loudly.
Jonah glared at the boy with a hint of anger.
"You broke Andi's heart. You acted like we didn't exist. Then you come running into my room with gifts because you're sorry that you didn't make it to my birthday. That's wrong on so many levels!" Cyrus yelled.
Jonah stepped forward and pushed the boy down. "Don't talk to me like that you fa..." Jonah had stopped himself from saying that word.
"Say it Jonah..I know you want to!Tell me how you really feel!Do I disgust you that much!Does me being gay make you hate me!." Cyrus replied.
Jonah was lost for words. He didn't expect Cyrus to admit to his suspicions. "Cyrus I...I don't care that yo..." Jonah was cut off by Cyrus's tears. He made the boy cry and that was the last thing he wanted to do.
"Cyrus I'm sorry...don't cry." He said hugging the boy.
Cyrus cried into his shoulder and he rubbed the boys back. "It'll be ok Cy...I'm sorry. I didn't mean to make you cry. I was just mad. I know I've been a terrible friend. Just please stop crying." Jonah begged.
"No everything won't be ok Jonah...you don't understand. You never will." Cyrus weeped.
"Cy...yes I do. I..." Cyrus cut the boy off again.
"I'm an omega Jonah!" Cyrus yelled crying harder into the boys shoulder.
