I knew Theo was a broken and lonely boy. But only yesterday I realised how broken he actually is.
I had no idea that he was abused in his past.
That would kind of explain his behaviour and hate towards others.
He has trust issues which is understandable, considering what he's been through and I'm happy he confided in us.
At least we know that he didn't actually kill his sister, it was just an excuse for him to show to everyone how bad of a guy he is.
He's not a bad guy anymore and I know I've said it like a million times before, but he really isn't.
It was all a facade to hide his true self.
Talking about his sister, Theo is staying over at my house for a while, because we're afraid Tara will kidnap him again.
Luke even insisted on sharing the bed with Matt so we could be alone.
Theo is still asleep.
I didn't get any sleep though, I was too worried about him.
When I notice my room getting brighter I realize that I've been awake all night, just looking at Theo and admiring how beautiful he actually is.
He's still a little skinny from the mercury poisoning, I mean it's only been two days since he healed from that, but he's still beautiful. And I'm actually considering kissing him right now, but I don't, because I don't want to wake him up.
These last few days have been exhausting for him, he needs rest.
Theo shifts a little, his eyes opening a bit "Morning," he mumbles, his voice slurring from sleep and I smile at him "Morning," I say back, trying to hold back a yawn, to no avail.
"Please tell me you didn't stay up all night," Theo whines looking at me with his puppy dog eyes "I didn't stay up all night," I respond with a smile and he rolls his eyes, punching my arm playfully.
He intertwines our fingers, resting his head on my chest and I run my fingers through his hair.
"Don't you have school today?" he asks after a few minutes of us just lying there enjoying each other's company.
"Maybe," I answer slowly and he looks up at me "You should go, I don't want you to fail class because of me," he informs "I'm not failing," I point out and he looks at me with his eyebrows raised, because he knows I'm lying.
I am failing classes and my GPA sucks.
"Fine," I grumble and he gets off of me so I can get off the bed "But I'm tired," I whine looking at him with a pout. "You shouldn't have stayed up all night," he shrugs, standing up and walking towards me.
"Are you gonna be okay?" I ask as I take my shirt off, pulling a clean one over my head.
"I'm gonna stay at Scott's for the time being," he informs "I'll be fine," he adds with a smile, squeezing my shoulder for a second, before taking his shirt of.
I bite my bottom lip, trying not to look at his bare chest.
He smirks a little, giving me a soft kiss on the lips before grabbing a shirt and pulling it over his head.
As I'm about to kiss him again, he stops me saying that I have to go eat breakfast and I huff in disappointment. He rolls his eyes and gives me another kiss, before practically shoving me down the stairs and into the kitchen where Matt, Luke and my mum are sitting at the dinner table.
My mum looks between Theo and I frowning a little then I remember that I forgot to tell her that Theo was staying over. "Mum, this is Theo," I introduce "My boyfriend," I add and she looks surprised, but not mad and I breathe in relief, before looking at Theo who looks just as surprised and Luke is sitting there trying to hold back a laugh.
I never told Theo we were boyfriends. I said we're mates, but not boyfriends.
"You're gay?" mum asks surprised "I didn't know that," she adds.
"I just never noticed until I really got to know him," I say, referring to Theo.
"Boys don't be shy, sit down and have breakfast. You have school," mum informs and we do as told.
I can feel how uncomfortable Theo is right now, I probably shouldn't have come out to my mum like that and not right now.
"How long have you two you know?" she asks "We've only been dating for a few days," I respond and I look for Theo's hand under the table, giving it a light squeeze.
"So Theo," mum speaks up looking over at him "How old are you?" she asks "um...I turn eighteen in a couple days," Theo answers earning a nod from my mum and I shoot him a quick look.
I didn't know he was a couple months younger than Scott and Stiles.
"Do you still live with your parents?" she asks and I can feel Theo tense up as he shakes his head "I have my own apartment," he informs and my mum looks at him a little sceptical "My parents died a few years ago and I've been using my inheritance to buy myself an apartment. I put the rest of the money in a bank account for later use," he informs.
"Oh...I'm sorry," mum says giving him a sympathetic smile and Theo waves it off with a small smile "It's okay," he says before we start eating breakfast.
"I'll see you guys later," mum informs kissing my cheek and waving Luke and Theo 'bye,' before she takes walks with Matt to her car.
"I didn't know you were still seventeen," I point out after closing the door and he shrugs "It's just a number, it's not that important," he says.
"Well are you coming?" Luke questions "Because I need a ride to school," he adds swinging his backpack over his shoulder.
I hand him my keys so he can get into the car.
"I'll text you during lunch okay," I inform looking up at Theo and he nods "Don't worry about me too much," he says with a smile and I roll my eyes, pulling him into a kiss before leaving the house and closing the door behind me.
"I have Calculus, so I'll see you later in Spanish," Luke informs as we enter the school building "See you later," I respond before making my way to History, meeting Mason and Corey on the way "Hey guys," I greet with a huge smile on my face.
They greet me back with a hug.
"We heard what happened to Theo yesterday," Mason says "Is he okay?" Corey adds and I nod my head "At least he says he is," I inform with a small shrug.
"What did Tara do to him?" Mason asks "She beat him up with a baseball bat before I got there and then tried to rip his heart out when he was choking her to protect me," I respond "Scott said something like that," Mason informs and I look up "Did he tell you about Brett?" I ask looking up at him for a second before looking back at where I'm going.
"Wait...Brett's alive?" Mason asks, his eyes wide and I nod my head "Oh my God," he exclaims excitedly and Corey looks at him frowning a little at how exited his boyfriend is.
We all know that Mason and Brett were friends, I mean we all were...are his friends, but Mason seems a bit too excited about him being back.
"Sorry," Mason mumbles composing himself as we enter the classroom.
I sit down at our usual table with my tray in front of me and I immediately pull my phone out to text Theo.
Me: Hey, what are you up to?
Theo❤: Scott called Stiles and Lydia over to watch some movies and eat lunch together
Me: That's nice.
How are they treating you?
Theo❤: They're actually being nice to me.
Even Stiles softened up a bit.
Me: That's awesome 😊
How is the movie?
Theo❤: Boring, but at least there's some snacks
I can't wait to see you later.
Me: I can't wait either.
Have fun :*
Theo❤: Thanks
Bye :*
I put my phone back in my pocket and look up, a smile on my face and I see Mason and Corey looking at something behind me. I frown a little, turning around to see where they're looking at "Tara," I exclaim before quickly turning my head around, trying to hide my face as she walks past our table.
"That's Tara?" Mason questions, his voice barely above a whisper and I nod my head "What the hell is she doing here?" I say in a hushed tone before I grab my phone again, still hiding my face with one hand.
Me: Tara's here
Theo❤: What?
At the school?
Me: Yeah, she just entered the cafeteria
Theo❤: What the hell?
Did she see you?
Me: No.
I don't know
Theo❤: We're coming
Get out of there and meet us in the parking lot in about five minutes
I pocket my phone and motion for Mason and Corey to follow me. They do as told and we quickly leave the cafeteria without being too suspicious, managing not to get the attention from everyone.
"Theo told us to meet them outside," I inform as I make my way to the parking lot and just as we leave the building we see a car pull up and Theo stomps out of the car, Stiles soon after, trying to hold Theo back as he comes rushing over, anger in his face.
As Theo's about to storm past me, I hold him back.
"Don't," I say, standing in front of him, blocking the door.
"But..." he mumbles referring to Tara. "No 'but'," I say looking at him sternly "Not here," I add, before pulling him into a kiss to calm him down.
He kisses back before pulling away, a lot calmer now.
"We have to take care of her," Theo informs as we go back to the other three.
"You're not gonna kill your sister are you?" Stiles asks "Not for real this time," he adds and Theo shoots him a glare "She's already dead, genius," he informs cockyly and I intertwine our hands to keep him from doing anything stupid.
"She won't rest until I'm dead and she's the new success," Theo informs a little nicer now "The Dread Doctors are gone how will she do that?" Scott asks looking at him and he shrugs "I don't know," Theo informs before he looks into nothingness, deeply in thought.
"What are you thinking?" Lydia asks as she takes notice of it.
Theo looks at her before turning to me and then proceeding to look at the whole group."Yesterday she had her claws in my chest..." Theo informs "Because she was trying to rip your heart out," I interrupt and he shakes his head making us look at him confused.
"It felt like my life was slipping away from me, my powers and my strength, that's why I couldn't fight her back," Theo stutters, trying to explain it to everyone.
"So she did to you what you did to me, the day were you killed me?" Scott questions and Theo nods and looks at him with guilt in his eyes.
"There you are," we hear someone exclaim and we turn around to see none other than Tara Raeken.
