Lunch time.

The plan is simple, plain and easy.

According to Leo, Jason likes to hang around in the school's gym during  lunch so he can flirt with the girls who walk by the glass doors.

Buffy is walking with Leo and I just in case Jason wants to punch someone and Cyrus, Andi, and Marty are on the lookout for Derek who they are going to talk into bringing to the gym so he can make up with Jason.

I came up with all of this by myself, I applaud myself.

"Why are you smiley, we're about to go talk to your bully?" Buffy asked me on our way through the halls to the gym.

"My plan is docious magocious" I smile, I haven't said that in a while.

(Author Note: I am so sorry I just made you read him saying that)

"We're not bringing that back" Buffy groans.

"I-it was a th-thing?" Leo asked.

"Yes it was a thing, now thinking back at it I shouldn't have made it a thing but it's still fun to say at times" I smile.

"No it's not, but if it puts a smile on your depressing life I guess it's okay" Buffy says and my smile disappears.

"Wow thanks" I roll my eyes.

"We-we're here" Leo says letting out a big sigh before he pushes open the gym doors.

Leo was right Jason is in here but he's not working out, he's sitting on a bench with his face in his hands.

"J-Jason?" Leo walks towards him and he hesitantly places his hand on his brother's shoulder.

Jason looks up slowly quickly grabbing Leo's wrist squeezing.

"You see this is what we're not gonna do" Buffy says walking over to Jason and grabbing his other twisting it behind his back.

Jason groans in pain quickly letting go of Leo's wrist. "I let go, I let go"

Buffy smirks and she let's go of Jason's wrist. "Now we came to talk to you, because unlike you we have a hurt and if you lay a finger on anyone of us I'll make sure you'll lose a finger. You got that?"

"Yes ma'am" Jason nods frantically.

"Perfect" Buffy stands there with a satisfied smile on her faco, I guess it's my turn to speak now.

"J-Jason um you see we came to talk to you about your feelings" I say and then an awkward silence feels the room.

"This sounds like the time my parents decided to give me The Talk" Buffy groans "Jason they want to talk about your sexuality and how you shouldn't hide it from the world, because it's nothing to be afraid of"

"So you two are trying to help me?" Jason asked looking between Leo and I.

Me and Leo just nod our heads in response.

"Why?" Jason now looks confused.

"I asked the same thing" Buffy says.

"Be-because I know what you're going through and I want to help a bit I also want you t-to stop beating me up" I say looking down at the ground playing with my fingers.

Take a deep breath Jonah, he can't hurt you Buffy won't allow it.

"This is stupid" Jason says and he gets up, an amused smile plays on his face.

"SIT DOWN!" Buffy yells and Jason quickly sits back down. "Now talk about your feelings, and I want you to feel good about yourself afterwards"

"Alright, alright" Jason throws his hands up. "Jonah I really like you"

"N-nah" Leo rolls his eyes and Jason sends a death glare his way. "S-s-sorry"

"I beat you up because you make me like you...that sounds really stupid let me try that again... Uhhhhhh"

"So you don't know exactly why you beat Jonah up, but what about Leo?"

"Oh, he's like my punching bag. Whenever I'm angry I just hit him and I'll feel better...that sounds horrible" Jason throws his face into his hands.

"I-I'm ju-just a punching b-bag to you?" Leo asked a little hurt.

"You know the reasons for beating you two up sound way better in my head, but now that in confessing it out loud-"

"You sound like a j-jerk?" I finish for him finally looking back up at him and his eyes noticeably begin to water.

"I'm scared" Jason admits and he let's out a huge sigh.

"Progress!" Buffy cheers "Here comes Derek"

I turn to see Cyrus, Andi, Marty, and Derek walk into the room.

"Too many gay folk, peace" Derek throws up the peace sign but before he could leave Marty pushes him back in the room.

"What is this a therapy session? I was supposed to meet in The Closet with some chick named Jade, so can we hurry this up?" Derek asked.

The Closet, an abandoned janitor's closet on the other side of school that people go to just to make out. I wanted to meet up with Cyrus there one day but he believes in the rumor that a ghost haunts it and that's why it's abandoned.

Cyrus grabs my hand and I flash him a small smile.

"Derek, Jason is about to go through a tough time and he needs a friend" Buffy says. "And since he's a bully he doesn't really have any and you're like his only one. So like what do we have to do to get you to talk to Jason again?" Buffy asked.

"Jason?" Derek says grabbing the slightly crying boy's attention.

"Yes?"

"Stop being gay"

"It doesn't work like that" Cyrus says.

"I tried" Jason sighs.

"P-punching bag?" I hear Leo whisper quietly and turn around again to look behind me and I see him sitting by the trashcan.

"LEO!" Andi practically screams in my ear as she rushes over to his side. "Are you okay, did Jason hurt you?"

"No, but he did call him a punching bag" Buffy says.

"Leo you are such a wimp" Jason laughs slightly and then he stops as he wipes the few tears that he did let fall down his cheeks.

Buffy's hand quickly comes swiping over Jason's face.

"He is your brother not your punching bag, the poor kid is traumatized do something about it. You already lost a friend, do you want to lose your family too?" Buffy crosses her arms as she shakes her head.

"Leo" Jason starts "I'm sorry"

"I-I don't be-believe you" Leo stutters and then he stands up walking past me and up to Jason.

"I said I'm sorry, what more could you want from me?"

"A g-good br-brother!"

Jason gets quiet.

"Can I leave?" Derek groans. "Jason I'll still talk to you, just don't catch feelings for me or whatever because they won't be returned, and I guess I'll just have to get used to it but uh Jade is waiting so I'm about to bounce. Later losers" Derek quickly leaves the room.

"Well he sucks" Buffy says under breath.

"And you swallow" Marty laughs

"Only you" Buffy smirks and Marty stops laughing.

Andi clears her throat. "Soooo Buffy, Marty no one needed to hear that and Leo and Jason we need to fix you two. Jason no more hitting your brother"

"No promises" Jason shrugs and Leo puts his head down. "But I'll try to find another way to deal with my anger" He sighs and throws his arm over Leo bringing him into a side hug.

"Looks like our work here is done"  Buffy smiles and we all begin to leave, leaving Jason by his self.

"You did a good thing, I'm proud of you" Cyrus says giving my hand a little squeeze.

"I'm proud of me too" I whisper and laugh.
