Aftermath

And he knows exactly how to do it...

Cyrus' Pov
Me and Tj sat in the dark watching Netflix on his phone as mine died and I have no way of recharging it right now. Just as the movie was getting good a series of texts popped up in the group chat from Andi informing us that Andi's Shack was blown down. That information triggered a spam of texts from Buffy, Walker (who was added recently) and Marty but surprisingly not Daniel... odd... the constant flow of texts made the movie virtually unwatchable with the way Tj has his phone set up and he's to lazy to mute the conversation, so he just switched his flash light on and placed it on his lap so he could see me better.

"Man that really sucks..." Tj said. I rest my head on his shoulders.

"Yeah... imagine your entire life just gone *snaps* like that." I say. Tj's expression dropped. "Did I say something...?"

"No, no, it's just that I know the feeling..." Tj said.

"You do?" I say with a confused look.

"Y-yeah..." He stammered. "In 6th grade my Mom was hit by a distracted driver... S-she passed away at the scene..."

"Tj... I'm so sorry..."

"Y-Yeah... She was my only source of confidence which was constantly being torn down by either my dad or school..." Tj said. One tear escaped his eye. Me and him sat while he silently let out his feelings. Tj spoke again after a couple of minutes.

"That felt really good to get out... thanks for listening... you didn't have too."

"Hey, it's kinda in my job description." I say. Tj chuckles.

"Your such a dork Cyrus. My dork."

"Ow..."

Third person
Bex walked back into the kitchen where Bowie and her parents stood talking. When Bex walked into the room the look at her with worry.

"How is she?" Cece asked. Walking over to Bex who slowly shakes her head.

"She's a bit better, talking with her friends now."

"Thats good, that's good." Cece said. "While you were up there we where discussing rebuilding Andi's shack."

"You don't have to stretch your neck mom. Me and Bowie will come up with the funds."

"Are you sure? We are completely fine with it."

"Yes I'm completely sur-"

*ding*

"Who could that be at 9 o'clock at night." Cece said. Jogging towards the door. She opened it revealing Daniel with a poster rolled up with a card attached to it.

"Hey Mrs. Mack, is Andi ok?" He asked.

"Of course she not ok, but she is calmer at the least."

"Well can you please pass this on to her. I would ask to come in but my mom and brother are dying to get home."

"Yes I'll take this." Cece said. She handed the poster back to Bex who jetted up the stairs with it.

Bex slowly entered Andi's room with the poster behind her back.

"Hey Andiman... I come baring gifts."

"Oo What is it? I hope it's a time machine or a flying blue box..."

"No, no, it's the sentimental kind. From Daniel." Bex says. Andi's face lightens slightly. She takes the poster and the card from out of Bex's hands and opens the card. Inside the card was a message written by Daniel. Andi read it aloud so Bex could here what it says.

Andi, I know another one of life's curve balls got throw at you but this is what the universe wanted... but what nature destroys all ways comes back. Or in this case gets rebuilt.

So, should you decide to build or not to build Andi's shack again... I drew this image for you, so the image of the old Andi's shack not fade from your mind. Hope you like it...

Sincerely, Daniel

P.s. there's also candy in the envelope...

Andi places the card on her bed and opens the poster to reveal one of the best drawings she'd had ever seen. It was of course a drawing of Andi's shack and had looked like it has been worked on for weeks on end.

Andi started to cry again, but the tears weren't sorrowful. They were filled with hope, hope that wasn't going to be as rough as it looked to be.

Bex slid out the room to leave Andi time to her self to reflect, this time positively. Cece and Ham were walking up the stairs as she came down. Bowie met her at the bottom of the stairs.

"How'd she like the gift." Bowie asked.

"Can't tell. She's crying but smiling at the same time."

"Then she loved it."

"She definitely did. Here I have a picture." Bex said. Bowie was astonished by the image.

"Wow! That dude has talent!" Bowie exclaimed. "She definitely should keep him around, not to close, but definitely around."

"Yeah." Bex said. "I think I'll let her stay here."

"Yeah, So we should get going?"

"We shall." Bex said.

Her and Bowie walked out of the house and towards Bex's bike which was knocked over but not damaged in the storm. Bex stopped before she got on to her bike, she felt like she was missing something. Right! The Andi's shack sign. Someone has to fix it... that person being Bowie, and Andi will repaint it...

But hey at least Bex started the process.

I don't why but this was kinda hard for me to write as I have been through a tornado before (Trust me it's not fun...) but it was also a kick in the sea of feels.

This part is also very late... as per usual...

PROCRASTINATION WHY DO YOU HATE ME SO?!?

Anyway...

Thanks for reading!
