Soulmates

Chapter Thirty- Nine: It's Alive

Theo's POV~

We wrapped up the photo shoot and I believed it went pretty well. I had an interview and we had a deep talk which opened my mind up too. I'm glad that he didn't bring up Shailene or any of that mess that's going on.

I start my car and begin to read the directions for my meeting. While I was driving my mind began to think; what if Shai doesn't love me anymore? Is this her way of trying to break up with me but doesn't want to hurt me? I'm getting mixed signals and I don't like it.

Why do I always have to wait for Shai to make up her mind? It's always her decision! I have no answer if our relationship will continue until a fucking month is over! There's unacceptable and I hate to think this but maybe it is time to move on. Maybe it was just a fling and nothing real at all.

I park the car and see I have a call coming from Shai, I click ignore. I'm busy and if she's going to have her own life in Florida then I'm having my own in California.

"Theo! Great to see you made it." My publicist greets me with a hug.

I ask how things are going and then I turn around to realize that my co-star is standing right behind me.

"Hey, I'm Dakota Fanning." She smiles and puts her hand out.

I'm not going to lie, she's beautiful and her eyes sparkle when she smiles. Her blonde hair lays perfectly on her shoulders.

"Theo James, nice to meet you." I smile back.

We all walk towards the table and my publicist whispers, "I saw the fireworks, you're going to like her."

I sigh, my heart snapping. When I looked at Dakota, she reminded me of Shai. I don't think I can move on even if I wanted too.

Shai's POV~

I wake up, my head aching from the previous night. I'm not a big drinker, only on special occasions. But right now, it kind feels nice to loosen up. I decided to call Theo but there was no answer. He must be at his meeting with another woman.

My body lays across the bed, feeling like I'm being sucked into an empty hole. I can hear my heart beats, barely. When I was with Theo I would actually count how many times I heard it. It made me feel alive, now I feel dead.

However, my thoughts disappeared and a feeling to vomit had erupted. I ran into the bathroom and Sarah quickly came in, holding my hair up. After I was finished, I cleaned my face and brushed my teeth.

"Shai, you didn't even drink that much last night." She frowns in confusion.

I nod my head, gripping the counter. My eyes shifts to the mirror hanging on my door, I stare at my body. Sarah looks at me as if I'm crazy.

I walk over towards the mirror and lift my shirt. The doctor told me my bump will be gone in a month, possibly two. It's been a couple weeks and nothing changed.

That's when I felt it. I felt something in my stomach, causing me to grip the door handle.

"Shai, what the hell?" Sarah's eyes widen in fear.

"Sarah, it's alive." I whisper.

"No that's impossible! Well it's rare, it rarely ever happens!" Sarah covers her mouth.

I feel another kick in my stomach, I groan but laugh at the same time. My baby is alive, they never died. The doctor was mistaken somehow.

"We have to go to the hospital Sarah!" I grab my purse and slip flip flops on.

Sarah jumps over the porch and lands perfectly this time. She starts her car and we drive off to the closet hospital.

A huge smile plops onto my face and I begin to cry tears of joy. My baby never left me, they were always here and I never stopped loving them.

"Shai why are you crying?" Sarah picks up the speed.

"Because my baby is still with me, they always were." I wipe a year and hug Sarah.

I can't wait to tell Theo.

Theo's POV~

The meeting consisted of the movie and who our characters are that we will be playing. We went over a couple of lines, laughing when we messed up.

I decided to ask Dakota if she'd like to go out to dinner. She accepted and now we are heading over to a close restaurant.

"So Theo, how's Shailene?" She scrolls through her emails on her phone.

"She's well. Right now she's in Florida visiting some old friends. She needed to get away for a while." I explain.

"I'd love to meet her some day, she has talent. And her personality is awesome!" She grins.

I nod my head and agree. I asked Dakota if she had a significant other. She said she's seeing someone but it's nothing serious. Her mind is open to anyone if she thinks they have potential and makes her happy.

We finally arrive to a sushi restaurant, I was in the mood for fish. Dakota giggled when I picked her up and let her go onto the ground.

"Didn't know you were so ripped!" She jokes and walks into the restaurant.

We found our seats and ordered our food. For the time being, we discussed our pasts and what we are interested in.

"Theo, you are super cool! That sounds so cheesy but I love a guy who likes to travel. My previous boyfriend stayed home, never wanting to go anywhere." She sips her diet coke.

I laugh and say, "That's boring, I always like to go other places and learn new cultures. It makes life more exciting you know?"

She agrees and our food arrives. I'm starting to like Dakota, she's really easy to talk too and her personality is one of a kind.

Am I falling for someone else? Do I actually like Dakota more than a friend? Or is Shai still stuck in my mind? These questions are driving me insane!

"Excuse me." My phone begins to ring and I walk out to answer it.

"Theo?" Shai asks.

"Hey, sorry I'm at dinner with my co-star Dakota. Can this wait?" I kind of felt bad saying that, but I am with a friend at the moment.

"Oh, not really. This is important Theo-" I cut her off.

"Shai, I'm tired of always listening to you! You leave me here in California waiting for an answer of our relationship! You tell me to find someone else and when I do, you call me."

I hear her breathe heavily and responds, "You're on a date with your co-star you just met? What happened to waiting for me?"

I groan and say, "Waiting for you seems like forever. Shai, I love you but I can't keep waiting for an answer. This is complicated for us both but you don't see me running to England! I wanted to wait for you but when I'm sitting here all alone it's really difficult."

"Fine Theo. This is why I left, I knew there was someone better for you. I'm happy you found her, now forget that I ever called and forget that I actually existed. Just to remind you Theo, I've only been gone for two days." With that, the phone call hangs up.

I kick a rock on the side walk and sigh in frustration. Damn it, two days feels like a lifetime when you're in love with someone! Why can't she understand that?

"Hey Theo, is everything alright?" Dakota taps my back.

"Yeah, sorry. It was a friend calling me, let's go back inside." I sigh and Dakota rubs my back for comfort.

Is it time to move on or should I still wait for her? I don't know anything right now.
