( Trigger warning- suicidal thoughts)

Andi had waited till her mom had fallen asleep to sneak out. Her mom wasn't lying when she said she sleeps like a log in a comma. Andi went out to go see her dad again. She went to the one place where she knew he'd be at. She entered Starbucks to find Bowie at the table her and Buffy were sitting at earlier.

" I'd knew you'd come," Bowie smiled.

" I know who you are," Andi blurted out.

" You do. Did Bex tell you something bad because I promised I'm not what she says about me. I've changed."

" She said that you're my dad. Then she told me to stay away from you. She called you a bad person but you don't seem like one. I'm not going to listen to her, I want to get to the real you."

" And I want to get to know my daughter, " Bowie added. Half an hour had past of the two of them telling each other about themselves. Andi was so surprised to find out that her dad was in a band. And Bowie was surprised to find out his daughter was such a creative person. Andi showed him the bracelet she made from scratch.

The conversation between the two of them had been interrupted by the sound of ringing coming from Andi's phone. Andi guessed it was her mom calling her but she was way off. She saw that Cyrus was calling her. Andi immediately went to the bathroom for some privacy to answer the call.

" Cyrus where are you? Are you ok? Buffy and I had been looking everywhere for you," And I said. She waited for Cyrus's response but all she could hear was crying from the phone.

"I-I'm at the hospital with Jonah. There was a-an accident," Cyrus cried out.

" Ok, calm down. I'll meet you there," Andi replied. Andi panicked, she didn't know who was hurt but it must have been bad. Andi ran out of the bathroom and explained what happened to Bowie. He agreed to drop her off at the hospital.

Andi had met up with Buffy in the parking lot. Buffy also go the call from Cyrus. The two girls ran into the hospital to find their friends. They found Cyrus sitting in the patient room, shaking in his chair.

" Cyrus," Andi gasp seeing the cuts and bruises on his face.

" Who did that to you?"Buffy asked already forming fist.

" That's not why we're at the hospital. We're here because of Jonah's mom. She tried to kill herself." Cyrus explained.

" Oh my god, where's Jonah is he ok?" Andi asked.

" He's in the room with the doctor. Only family members are allowed inside."

" Is she going to survive?" Buffy asked.

" I'm not sure. She lost a lot of blood. It was a total horror show. There was blood everywhere. I can't image what Jonah must be going through. I'm so worried about him," Cyrus said concerned.

" Is it because he's your boyfriend?" Andi asked. Cyrus looked shocked by the question.

" What, I uh don't know. Why would you ask that?" Cyrus said trying not to sound suspicious, but failed badly.

" She saw the video," Buffy replied.

" it's online," Cyrus said with a shocked expression. At first he couldn't believe when he saw the video of him and Jonah at the baseball game on the news but now he found out its online.

" Number one on trending to be exact," Buffy added.

" Andi, please don't be mad. I know you liked Jonah, and it was wrong of us to kiss but-"

" Cyrus calm down. I'm not mad. I'm happy for you two. You seem so much happy when your with him," Andi said trying to calm down her worried friend.

" So we're still friends?" Cyrus asked.

" Of course we are. And friends shouldn't keep secrets like that from each other. We've been friends since the first day of middle school, we shouldn't keep secrets from each other," Andi said, hinting for Cyrus to tell them everything that's happened.

" So Cyrus, are you going to tell us who did that to your face?" Buffy asked, still ready to fight the person who did that.

" Buffy, if I tell you. There's nothing you can do about it. You can't fix it. You'll just make it worst," Cyrus explained.

"You know I can't promise that. Whoever hurt you, is going to pay," Buffy said with the wild look forming in her eyes.

" Buffy you can't do that. It wasn't some random kid from school who did this. It was my step dad," Cyrus said but regretted it.

" You're step dad did this to you!" Both Buffy and Andi shouted at the same time.

" What? How? Why would he do that? Cyrus you need to tell someone. The police or child services. This isn't right Cyrus," Buffy added.

" I can't. If my step dad finds out that I've told people about what he does to me, I'm dead," Cyrus whispered.

" Then let me help. I know a lawyer who can help you. She can send your dad to jail and you won't have to ever see him again," Buffy told Cyrus.

" who is it?" Cyrus asked, although he saw no hope of being rescued from his abusive stepfather.

" It's Marty's mom, she helped me out when I needed help. She can help you Cyrus," Buffy explained.

" You should do it Cyrus," Andi added.

" I'll think about it," Cyrus said. The three friends attention turned to the doctor walking out of the room where Jonah and his mom were in.

" Doctor, how is she?" Cyrus asked.

" You called just in time. We managed to heal her up, although she did lose a lot of blood. She will make it. If I were you, I'd be more worried for her son. He seems off, you should take him home to recover. This kind of stuff can mess up a kid his age," the doctor told the group of friends. The doctor let the friends inside the room to get Jonah.

Mrs. Beck laid sleeping on the bed with tube and wire connect to her, liked you'd see in the movies. Next to her was her son, who was holding her hand. Jonah wouldn't let go of his mom, he sat next praying for her to be ok.

" Jonah," Cyrus called out. Jonah didn't respond, he still sat next to his mom.

Cyrus walked up to Jonah to see that he still had blood all over his clothes and hands.

" Jonah, why don't we take you home to change. And you can come back tomorrow," Cyrus asked one more time. Jonah held onto his mom's hand one last time before standing up. He still had the same look on his face from finding his mom bleeding out, the look of terror and fear. The group of friends walked Jonah out of the hospital and drove him to back to his house. The car ride with Buffy's brother was quiet. Jonah didn't say or do anything but look out the window.

The car stopped in front of Jonah's house and Cyrus walked with Jonah inside. Jonah had walked off to his room, not letting Cyrus follow him. Cyrus would have gone after him but he'd figured that Jonah just needed some space.

Cyrus couldn't help but feel guilty. If his mom would have never had shown up, then Jonah's mom wouldn't have done what she did. Cyrus was lost in his thoughts for quite some time. He was snapped out of them by the sound of crying. He followed the sound into the bathroom. Cyrus opened the door to find Jonah crying as he cleaned up his mom's blood on the floor.

" Jonah stop," Cyrus said as he pulled Jonah away from the scene.

" It's all my fault," Jonah whispered repeatedly as Cyrus held onto him.

" This wasn't your fault Jonah, and I won't let you clean this up. The doctor told you to go rest and recover," Cyrus explained.

" I can't leave the bathroom like this," Jonah replied. The bathroom was still like it was before. All the items on the counter were pushed off and on the floor, all of the medicine bottles where emptied out and the pills were scattered all over the floor and the blood was still spattered on the floor.

" Ok fine. We'll clean this up and then you have to promised me you'll go rest," Cyrus compromised. Jonah agreed and Cyrus went off to get more cleaning rags from the kitchen.

Jonah started to put the items on the floor back to their normal spots. He then started to collect all the pills that were scattered on the floor.

Jonah stared at the pills he had gathered in his hands. He stared at the handful of pills that could end it all for him. A million thoughts were running inside his head. His hand were shaking and trembling as he brought his hands closer to his face.

" Jonah stop, what are you doing?" Cyrus said as he knocked the pills out of Jonah's hand.

" It's not what it looks like. I swear." Jonah argued, now crying even more.

"You were going to take those weren't you?" Cyrus asked. Tears started to stream down Cyrus's face, he knew that Jonah would have taken those pills if he hadn't stopped him. Cyrus had almost lost his boyfriend right now.

" Cyrus I would never. I was just counting them. I promised I would never do that. I'm sorry for scaring you," Jonah said but Cyrus knew he was lying.

" I believe you, how about you go to bed and I'll take care of this," Cyrus said using a difference tone, a more calming tone. Cyrus walked Jonah to his bed and watched over him. Jonah had fallen asleep in an instant. It must have been from the lack of sleep Jonah had been getting. He couldn't remember the last time he had gotten even an hours worth of sleep.

Now Cyrus was the one staying up all night watching over Jonah. Cyrus was now scared of leaving Jonah alone. He still couldn't believe that Jonah was capable of even thinking about taking all those pills. Cyrus could barely recognized Jonah anymore. Cyrus feels as the Jonah he's always liked, was now gone
