Losing It ~ TeenWolf

Part 34

Liam

Amy and I went into the kitchen when Charlotte sat down on the sofa, we didn't want to be there while she was trying to sleep.

We sat at the island and Stiles did too.

"Do you think she'll forgive us?" I asked.

"I think so but I guess we'll have to see." Amy said.

"You said that she's rejected her meds before, you never had to force her to take them?" Stiles asked.

"No and usually she only goes off them for three days at most, she would go back on them as soon as she realised what she had done. She was always really responsible with them, I don't know why this time was different." Amy said.

"She had a pretty big fight with our mother the other day where she called her a slut and I think it really affected her, no matter how hard she will deny it." I looked down at my hands.

"Why did she say that to her?" Amy asked.

"Our mother doesn't approve of Charlotte's work, but then after she said that she didn't want Charlotte to turn out like our father."

"What does that mean?" Stiles asked.

"I think Lydia was right, I think she might be...bipolar and maybe that's what my dad had too?" I guessed.

"I mean, it makes sense, bipolar disorder is a genetic disease." Amy said.

"She'll be ok though, right?" Stiles asked.

"I want to say yes but I really don't know." I sighed.

After two hours, both Amy and Stiles had to leave and I was left alone.

I walked over to the sofa where Charlotte was asleep and pulled the blanket over her body, she looked so worn out, she had dark circles under her eyes and she had lost so much weight in her face and I assumed everywhere else too.

I watched her for just a minute, it was weird to see her so calm after the week we'd had, she wasn't angry or aggressive or anything, she was just calm.

I went upstairs and lay down in my bed before I pulled out my phone from my pocket, I didn't have any notifications.

I unlocked my phone and went onto my messages his name was there and it pulled at my heart. I wanted him to be here with me, I wanted him to hold me and tell me that everything would be alright and I wanted it to be how it used to, when everything was simple.

I clicked on his message and ignored the warnings from my brain.

Liam
Hey.
10:58

I stared at the message for a few seconds before exhaling loudly and turning off my phone.

I didn't expect a message back but my heart leapt when his name lit up my phone.

Theo
Hey, is everything
ok?
11:00

Liam
Yeah, I just missed
you.
11:00

Theo
I miss you too.
Is everything alright?
Did you get everything
sorted or do you need help?
11:01

Liam
Everything is alright,
Charlotte is still asleep
and I think it'll stay that
way for the rest of the day but
I wouldn't mind seeing you.
11:02

Theo
I can come round now
if you'd like.
11:02

Liam
Please do, I want to
talk to you about some things.
11:03

Theo
Alright, I'll see you
soon.
11:03

Liam
See you :)
11:03

I turned off my phone and smiled happily to myself, hopefully, Theo and I could work things out, I wanted to be with him again, that much I was sure of.

I stood up and started cleaning my room while I waited, throwing clothes into the washing basket and picking up books that I had discarded.

I fixed the covers of my bed and felt quite proud of myself, even if it was a very minimal action it still gave me a sense of pride, for whatever reason.

A few minutes later, Theo texted me telling me he was outside I texted back and told him to walk straight in.

I heard the front door open and then close. He took a minute or two before he came up the stairs and I assumed he was either looking at me to make sure I wasn't downstairs or he was taking in Charlotte's new appearance like I had.

When he got upstairs, he knocked on my door and I let him in.

It seemed like days since I'd seen him last, I felt in need of a hug from him, his strong arms holding me and whispering that it'd be ok.

I moved out of the way so that he could walk past me and into the room.

He took off his leather jacket and place it on the back of my desk chair before walking over to my bed and sitting down.

I closed the door and walked over to sit next to him. He was sat on the edge of the bed with his legs pressed to the floor whereas I sat with my legs crossed facing him.

"So is Charlotte ok?" He asked.

"I think so, Stiles made her some food and then she fell asleep, she hasn't said anything to anyone so she's probably pissed but Amy said that she should be ok." I explained.

"At least she's ok now though. Do you think she'll go to school on Monday?" He asked.

"I'm not sure, I hope she doesn't but she might do."

Neither of us said anything for a while and an awkward silence covered the room, usually, Theo and I can sit in silence for hours with each other and it can be perfectly comfortable but at this point, it was awkward and uncomfortable.

"So.. um.. I asked you here because I want to work back into our relationship, if that's what you'd want. I didn't really need space from us, I needed space to think everything over and I said it the wrong way, seeing how you've helped this past week shows that you care, I understand why you didn't tell me about Charlotte and I feel really bad for shutting you out." I said.

"I want nothing more than to be with you again, I love you and I always will, you are pretty much the most important thing to me now and I couldn't imagine not being with you. This past week has been torture, I just wanted to comfort you in ways that I couldn't, I wanted to show you how much I loved you." He put his hand over mine and smiled at me.

"So, we're ok?" I asked shyly.

"We're more than ok." He smiled.

"I love you." I said quietly.

"I love you too."

He leaned over and kissed me, I placed my hand on his cheek and let myself be showered with his attention as I had longed for since we broke up.
