"It's fine you've been through a lot and whatever happened last night must've like triggered something inside of you"

"Can we stop bringing up last night?" I sigh. "Just be you right now, talk and get off topic and make me laugh"

"Okay, well last night...oh wait never mind"

"Just say it"

"Okay so when you passed out, Andi saw a spider in the kitchen and she screamed and threw a plate at it. She's really scared of spiders, Buffy on the other hand is pretty fearless I'm pretty sure she's afraid of commitment though, so there's this guy named Marty and they have this competitive streak going on, and it's hilarious. Marty is obviously flirting with her and I'm sure she can see it too but neither of them can make a move. It gets pretty frustrating honestly-"

Cyrus goes on and on about whatever and I just stare at him, I wish I was as happy as him. It must be nice to have a pretty normal life.

"And my dad wants me to move in with him-"

"What?" I cut him off.

"Were you even listening, I'll start over" He clears his throat "Last night after you passed out Andi-"

"I got that part"

"Oh okay, what was I talking about?"

"Moving in with your dad"

"Oh yeah, so my parents are divorced and my dad wants me to move in with him, something about him being a better parent. They don't live far from each other though, so nothing will really change just my bedroom I guess. I don't really see why he wants me to live with him, he might kick me right back out when he finds out I'm gay, I wonder how my mom would react when she finds out I'm gay. What if they both don't like me? What if they put me up for adoption? What if I'm the new Jude? Even though his two foster parents accepted him."

"Who's Jude?"

"Do you watch The Fosters?"

I shake my head.

"You really need to find another channel besides Nickelodeon"

"I'm good" I laugh a little.

Cyrus kisses my cheek and I look away from him uncomfortably. "Can you not do that?"

"What's wrong, are my lips too chapped?"

"I just don't want you to kiss me"

"Why not? That's the only thing you agreed to let me do to you since we're still on break"

"Well I don't want you to do that anymore" I snap.

"Okay"

The air feels like it shifts in between us and we just sit there awkwardly.

My mom walks in and freezes when she closes the door. "Am I interrupting something?"

"Nope" Cyrus says kind of rudely and he hops off the bed leaving the room slamming the door in the process.

"What was that all about?" My mom walks over to me and starts grooming her fingers through my hair, I shrug my shoulders in response. "Are you feeling okay? We get to leave whenever you say you're feeling better I just have to sign you out. Did the nurse stop by with your pain medicine yet?"

I shake my head no.

"I'll be right back then, stay put"

I still can't go anywhere.

I watch as she leaves and I sigh.

Left alone, in a hospital bed. I knew a day like this would come I just didn't know how soon.

"Sorry for the wait" A lady walks in with my mom trailing behind, I'm guessing she's the nurse.

She hands me a pill and a glass of water and I take it almost immediately, she leaves taking my cup away.

"I already signed you out, I'll be out in the hallway just walk out when you're ready" My mom runs her fingers through my hair one last time and she let's out a shaky breath before she leaves.

"I don't have depression!" I snap

"The doc-"

"I don't care what the doctor said, I'm fine"

"Jonah please just listen, you have an appointment-"

"With a therapist?" I cut my mom off

"Yes"

"I'm not going" I begin to walk away.

"I think it would be for the best, I'm just looking out for you stop walking away from me when I'm talking to you" She grabs my wrist and I quickly pull away.

"DON'T TOUCH ME! I'm tired of people touching me and just pulling me where ever so they could do what ever. No one wants to do what I want."

"Well what do you want?"

"To be alone" I storm off to my room slamming my door and sliding down it.

I'll go to the therapist, but I won't talk.

No one listens to me anyway.
