We arrive on Amber's front porch and I take a deep breath.

"We can turn around and leave if you want" Jonah says concern in his voice.

"No it's fine" I sigh.

Jonah reaches his hand out for the doorbell but he stops and looks at me "You sure?"

"Yes I'm sure"

Jonah squints his eyes at me "I don't believe you"

"Just ring the stupid bell" I say a little annoyed, Jonah finally rings the bell but he keeps his eyes glued on me until we both hear the door open and we turn our heads to see Amber and Iris.

"Ew, get away from my boyfriend" Amber rushes over to Jonah and she pulls him away from me.

"So Cyrus what was your plan? Were you just gonna keep dating me playing with my feelings?" Iris asks glaring at me.

I look at Iris and Amber like they've grown two heads.

"Oh don't look like you don't know what we're talking about. You're gay and we know it, Iris's friend noticed you at the diner today and he pulled out his camera at the perfect moment to capture you saying that you're gay" Amber says, a sly smirk playing on her face.

"Okay he's gay so what?" Jonah unwraps Amber's hand from around his wrist.

"That's not all though, here look at the video for your self. Jake sent it to us" Amber whips out her phone and she shows Jonah the video "Oh look I was right Andi does have a crush on you"

The video ends, and Jonah turns to look at me his green eyes wide. "Cyrus?"

I look at him and then I look at Amber and then I finally look at Iris.

"I'm breaking up with you by the way" Iris informs me before she turns and walks back into the house.

I stand there still in disbelief that this is happening right now, why right now? Out of all times, I was actually having a good day today until this Amber thing wanted to pop up and ruin it like the evil back stabbing no good witch that she is.

I begin to walk backwards off the porch tripping on one of the steps and landing on my face in the dirt. Amber begins to cackle (or laugh which ever you prefer) when I lift my face out of the grass, dirt probably stuck all over it right about now.

"Cyrus?" Jonah calls my name out again and this time when I look at him I'm on the verge of tears.

"What Jonah? Are you gonna finish your sentence or are you just gonna stand there calling my name out the whole entire time?" I snap at him.

He opens his mouth to say something, but closes it right back and he just stares at me with a blank expression on his face.

"Come on Jonah let's go inside, and give the poor pathetic boy privacy to cry" Amber grabs Jonahs wrist and she pulls him inside and he stares at me until Amber pulls him all the way in and closes the door.

I sit there for like a good two minutes just staring blankly at the grass until someone thought it was a good idea to turn on the sprinklers knowing I was still sitting in the grass.

I stand up making my way back home, tears or the water from the sprinklers running down my face I can't tell which one it is, it could be both but I just feel numb.

-_-

I get back to my house drenched head to toe, my mother doesn't even question what happened she just looks at me with a sympathetic look on her face as I stomp up the stairs running to my room.

I grab my phone out if my pocket wiping it off with my towel that was on my bed and I face time Buffy immediately.

"Cyrus you would not believe- Oh what happened?" Buffy looks at me from the screen of my phone and thats when I get a really good look of my face.

Eyes puffy, my hair is a mess, mud smudged all over my face, and my heart is broken.

I am pathetic.

"Amber the back stabber" I say, flopping down onto my bean bag chair. "Some friend of Iris named Jake filmed me coming out to you, and Amber showed Jonah the video so now he knows I'm gay and that I like him. Also I'm a single Pringle now, but Iris breaking up with me was like the best thing that happened to me  on Amber's porch. Now I know that I'm not playing with her heart anymore"

Buffy starts moving on the other side of the screen and then I see her starting to put her shoes on.

"Buffy where do you think you're going?" I sigh.

"To Amber's house, I'm gonna go over there pull her hair extensions out probably kick her around a few time, and then I'm gonna grab Jonah by the arm and drag him all the way to your house where I would lock him in your room with you, and I won't let you guys out until I hear kissing noises from the other side of the door. Speaking of Jonah how did he take the news, of you liking him and stuff?"

"Well he was fine with the fact that I was gay, but I don't think he likes the fact that I am crushing on him. All he could say was my name with the most shocked yet blank expression on his face" I roll my eyes.

"Okay well maybe he's still in shock, you just have wait for him to register this in his mind and he'll be all over you in no time. Also I have something to tell you, oh look Andi's calling us now"

"Great" I mutter and I press accept allowing Andi to join our call.

"Cyrus why didn't you tell me you were gay? Also forget the best friend code if you want Jonah then go and get Jonah I rather you date him then Amber he needs someone who will actually care about him and you can't just assume that he's straight what if he's bisexual?" Andi's words was not at all what I was expecting to hear from her, but I'm not complaining.

"How do you know that I'm gay, Buffy did you tell her?"

"No I didn't, that's what I was about to tell you. The guy Jake you were talking about didn't just send the video to Amber he posted it on Instagram too, and I'm pretty sure that a bunch of kids from school has seen it already"

What?

"What?"

What?

"Cyrus we can sort this out, we should just tell the principal at school-"

"No" I cut Andi off "I'm not going to school tomorrow, not everyone is going to accept me. People are gonna bully me physically and verbally."

"No they will not, I won't let them. Now what should be on my list" Buffy holds up a notebook paper titled 'Get Rid of Amber' across the top of it to the screen.

"Put the notebook away Buffy" Andi and I say in unison.

"You guys are no fun, revenge is sweet and nobody messes with my friends and gets away with it. So I'll just fill out this list by myself." Buffy huffs and she begins to start writing something in her notebook.

"Anyway Cyrus I'm not gonna let you, let a couple of bullies keep you away from school and your right of an education. You need to walk into school tomorrow and show people that you don't care what they say about you." Andi says.

"I like how you can say this like it's the most easiest thing in the world Andi, and Buffy I like how you're just writing down ways on how to get revenge like it's the only thing we can do." I say sarcastically "You guys are just throwing things out there that we can do like it's so easy when really it's not, you guys don't understand what I'm going through right now all you guys can do is say the things that you think is right. When it's not, no one really understands what you're going through until they have to go through it there selves." I snap.

"Cyrus-" Andi begins.

"Stop saying my name I'm getting tired of people saying my name, Cyrus is officially not even my name anymore"

"Then what is your name?" Buffy asks.

"Broken" I reply with no emotion and I press hang up looking at my self on my blank phone screen.

-_-_-

Two chapters up in one day, go me!
