Chapter 3

I hear a pan sizzling. I get up and see Theo cooking with no shirt, on my tiny kitchen trailer. "Hi?" I ask rubbing my eyes.

"Hey! I wanted to cook for you since you took care of me last night. Hospitality for hospitality. You're welcome. Oh! And we don't have filming today," Theo replies.

I think back to last night and remember Ruth's tweet.

"Look Theo I have to tell y-"

"No Shai. I am happy to cook this for you. My best friend," he inturrupts.

"I need to tell you something Theo. Listen!" I spit out. He stops the cooking and looks at me curiously.

I sigh. "Theo..Ruth is cheating on you," I say with a sympathetic look. He squints his eyes, "what?"

"Yeah Theo..she is cheating on you. I saw. I am so-"

"NO! No she isn't Shailene. You are just jealous. Ruth hasn't done ANYTHING. Geez Shai. Don't joke around about that sorta thing!" Theo yells back.

"Jealous? Why would I be jealous!? I wouldn't tell you unless I knew it was true," I scream back.

"No Shai. Enjoy your meal," he walks away and grabs his stuff from the little couch. I try to grab him by the shoulder, but he shrugs it off.

"Bye," he mumbles slamming my trailer door shut. How can he not believe me? I turn off the stove and throw the food away I am too upset to eat.
