I Might be in Love With you (Theo James Fanfic)

Chapter 11

Chanel POV

        As I fell, I expected a pair of muscular arms to catch me by the waist. But I fell straight backwards, my head falling first. I couldn't see anything, things got blurry all of a sudden and I felt the music get heavier and heavier. I tried standing up, but I couldn't. Just then, people looked at me. Before I knew it, there were a bunch of strangers hovering over me. What was going on... I blacked out.

Theo POV

        "So Theo you ready for our make-out scene we'll have to film soon?" Said Shai, obviously flirting with me. I laughed and gave out a yes. "I was expecting you to say no so that we could practise a little more." She chuckled, placing a strand of hair behind her ear. Well this is awkward. I had a numb face but then I looked over to the crowd, noticing everyone hovering over something with their heads, and just at that moment there were paramedics rushing into the club.

        "What's going on?" I asked, not really waiting for an answer. I stood up and Shai looked at me from behind.

        "Something must've happened. Probably a drunk person who passed out." She says, pulling me closer to her with her hands around my waist. I push her hands away and run towards the crowd. Without looking back at Shailene, I push through the crowd to see what happened. As I approached the front of the crowd, I stopped. My breath intensifying. 

                                                                 Chanel.

        The paramedics quickly took her on the stretcher, taking her out of the club. That's not the Chanel I know. She wouldn't get that drunk to collapse. But I do know she's clumsy enough.

        I wasn't there to catch her.

Chanel POV

        He wasn't there to catch me. I quickly sat up, my breath kept intensifying each time I took one. I looked around, finding myself in a hospital. My face was almost dripping in sweat, still gasping for air. As I calmed down, a nurse came in.

        "Hey Chanel. You feeling any better yet?" She asked, sitting on the edge of my bed. I put my knees next to my chin.

        "I guess."

        "There is someone who wants to see you." The nurse calmly said.

        "Who?" I don't want to see anyone right now. Not Stephen. Not my mom. Not Aiden. Not anyone. Not Theo.

        "His name is Stephen." I looked down, placing my legs in a criss-cross formation now. I fidgeted with my fingers. I'd rather have Theo come.

        "I don't want to see anyone right now. Sorry." I whisper, "When can I leave?"

        "I'll let Stephen know." She paused, just hearing his name makes me want to die a little. "Well if you feel alive and well, you can leave right now." I smiled at her.

        I put on my jacket and shoes and headed down to the main office to get checked out. I grabbed the final papers and headed my way out of the hospital, clenching tight onto my purse. As I walked, I saw a familiar face from afar walking at a fast pace towards me.

Theo POV

        I started walking faster. I could see her gorgeous face so vividly yet she was so far away. I could then all of a sudden hear her say something.

        "Theo! I am so sick of you! Is this whole thing a game to you? Am I some kind of a lab rat you want to test on and see how much my heart can break or perhaps it's a game of manipulation? Theo I am so fucking sick of being scared of you. I am terrified of you." I paced up my speed, focusing just on her yet still hearing everything she's saying. "I shouldn't have trusted you! This isn't some Disney princess movie or story or some perfect idealistic romantic movie, Theo. This is real life." Soon, I was about three meters away from her. I started running and as she kept on talking I reached in for a kiss.

        My left hand was carefully placed on her cheek, while my right was just below her back. I expected resistance, screams for help, rape accusations and etc. But she didn't fight back not even one bit. I let go of her, placing both my hands on her face, looking deep into her eyes.

        "I'm in love with you." I tell her, watching tears roll out of her eyes one by one.

        "That's what I'm scared of Theo. I'm terrified of loving you. And I'm terrified of you loving me." She whispers, placing her head into my shoulder. I put my hand on the back of her head and feel her quietely sobbing.

        "I'm sorry I wasn't there to catch you fall." I say, giving out a fake chuckle. She laughs a bit and looks up at me, her mascara all smudged yet her eyes are still those eyes I fell in love with the day I met her.

        "I fell so many times yet it was Stephen who would catch me. I always thought it was you." She grins and places her hand on my cheek as I bite my lip.

        "Stephen?"

        "Let's just say I was trying to make you jealous."

        "Agreed."

        I took her by her hand and led her to my car, she sat next to me in the front and we just talked. Like normal people. Getting to know each other. I never knew her favorite color till now, or her favorite subject in school. Fuck. She's still in school.

        "Chanel? You're still in school, right?" I asked, hoping to hear a 'no' or a 'yes, but'. 

        "Yep. Why'd you ask?" I look at her, my eyes giving out the sadness I had stuck inside of me.

        "Well if you were to come with me to Chicago, you'd miss most of your studies." I really hoped this wasn't going to ruin us again.

        "Theo... It's fine. It's not like I'll miss a whole year. Just a couple months right?" I nod. She gives me a reassuring look and I smile. 

        Soon we arrived to my house, It was getting kind of late. I opened the door for her, closing it behind me. I gazed at her for a few seconds as I took off my jacket.

        "What?" She asked. I walked up closer to her, my head towering hers.

        "You're beautiful." I say, leaning in for a kiss, I held her by her waist and one hand on her cheek. I carefully moved us against a wall. I placed my hand on her thigh, hoping she wouldn't mind. She wraps that leg around me, letting go of our kiss.

        "I don't want to go too fast." She smiles against my lips and I bite mine.

        "Okay." I whisper, leaning in for another kiss.
