Theo's POV
For eight months I took care of Liam. For eight months I saved Liam. For eight months I fell for Liam slowly and then all at once.
Now I have to walk into school to see him kissing her against the lockers and holding her hand as they walk to class. I have to see her walk through the halls of our house after they watch a movie together downstairs. I have to listen to them make out in Liam's room as I try and sleep.
Hell wasn't as torturous.
I walk into school with a fake smile as I watch Liam run to her like I didn't hold him while he was crying after she left.
And the worst part is Liam said he loved me and the next day he was back with her again.
Now I am standing in the middle of the woods with him and it's torture.
"Theo I think it's this way"
"It's definitely this way Liam"
"No this way" he pointed left like he had been that way before even though I could tell he hadn't.
"Liam listen, the house is this way, that way leads to a waterfall"
"I know you are clueless sometimes Theo but really this is the right way" I glared at him in rage after hearing his words.
I'm clueless.
I'm clueless!
He's clueless!
I was with him for eight months taking care of him and I never got a thank you. I saved his life when the ghost riders came and received nothing. I fell for him and he didn't even notice,
And I'm clueless!
"You're clueless!"
"How am I clueless?" I laughed painfully and he looked at me fearful.
"I've lost my mind Liam! All because of you and that stupid night!"
"What are you talking about?" He stared at me like I had gone crazy.
"That night Liam! We sat on your bed and you placed your hand on mine. We were watching love daily, remember?! You watched with wide eyes as we found out what happened to Paul. You looked at me painfully and began crying because you weren't expecting the end. I hugged you as you took deep breaths against my neck. I told you to focus on my heart and your heart beat matched mine. You pulled back and one tear was still falling from your eye and you spoke. Do you remember what you said Liam? Do you remember?" His shoulders lifted and fell with fear in his eyes at my crazed state.
"You said I love you. You said I. Love. You. I love you Liam!" He looked at me in shock.
I started crying hysterically as I yelled, "you said I love you, and the next day you got back with Hayden! I thought we were going to have something or at least you would tell me you didn't feel the same but no, you went running back to her as soon as she came back! How could I have ever believed you loved me like I love you!" I fell to the ground crying.
My breaths were scattered as I tried to stop my tears but considering my anchor was the reason for my tears I couldn't hold it back.
"T..." he looked down at me sympathetically, "I'm so sorry"
I turned my eyes directly up to face his blue ones, "No Liam, no you aren't. If you were you would have noticed!" He turned his head like a confused puppy.
"You would have noticed my fake smile every time we walked into school and saw her, you would have noticed how I always lowered my head in sadness as you shooed me away when you two were watching a movie, you would have noticed how I always hugged you. Not a normal hug Liam, I would wrap my arms around your waist and squeeze you tight like I never ever wanted that feeling to end, but maybe I was wrong to feel that way because whenever that hug ended you walked away like it meant nothing"
He began to cry like he had noticed.
He began to cry like what he had with Hayden meant nothing compared to me.
He began to cry like he felt the same.
And I cried along with him.
He fell to the ground right in front of me and hugged me. He tilted his head into my neck taking those deep breaths that I always adore. He pulled back and this time he didn't walk away, he looked in my eyes and spoke,
"I'm so sorry Theo, I should have told you. I should have told you what I meant. I should have worked it out. I should have just expressed my feelings, but I was afraid. Falling for you Theo was like I was hit by a typhoon of emotions and the best way to fix it was to get back with Hayden and pretend nothing had happened. I know it was a horrible choice, I know I should have just talked to you, to someone at least, but I didn't. I'm a horrible person Theo, I'm so sorry" I looked at his eyes inspecting for any hint of a lie but I couldn't find anything.
"I meant what I said Theo, I know I should have told you before but I meant it when I said I love you. I still mean it and I will forever mean it"
My mouth fell open. Not just from the shortness of breath but from the shock of hearing what I have been waiting to hear for eight months, "I love you too Liam and I will forever mean it"
He grabbed my face in his hands and right as I thought he was going to hug me, he kissed me.
I have never felt so amazing.
