I'm sneaking out again, to Theo's room it's six in the morning, Hazel and Dahlia we're still asleep. Thankfully.

I got to Theo's room, I knocked gently on the door, waiting for him to open it.

"It's open." I heard his voice coming from inside. I entered into his room, and the first thing I noticed were his bed sheets. On his bed were a mess, as if someone had been sleeping there. The sheets were half off the bed, his pillows were scattered everywhere on the room, and he looked like he's been sleeping in his pajama.

"Morning?" I say slowly

Theodore smiles as he saw me, "Hey," he replies. He looked as tired as a corpse and his eyes were bloodshot and puffy. He sat down on the bed and rubbed his eyes as he groaned and let out a tired exhale.

"Have you been up all night?" I ask, "you look exhausted,"

"I was at my house with my family came back an hour ago," He says as I sat down on the bed besides him.

"Your family?" I ask surprised, he usually never speaks about his family. One thing I knew was what Dahlia told me, that his family was shitty.

"Yeah... they were celebrating my mom's birthday," Theo said, looking away from me, it was the first time I felt Theo being distant from me, he wasn't smiling like usual. It seemed like there was something on his mind.

"Was it fun?" I ask, hoping he'll open up to me a bit more.

"No, not really," He shakes his head, he still looked very tired and didn't look too happy.

"Did you tell them about us?" I ask pulling my legs up on the bed.

"No," He says almost way too instantly "I told you I want this to be a secret for now," He says his voice firmer now as he wrapped his arm around my waist and pulls me down beside him so I'm laying besides him.

I got a bit taken aback by his firmer tone, as if it hurt a bit to know that he's so insistent on us being a secret.

Although I don't know the reason why, I still felt like I wasn't wanted.

"Okay, okay, but one day I'd like to be introduced as your girlfriend," I reply, trying to act like his response didn't bother me.

He cleared his throat, "It's too early for you to be awake," He says changing the topic as he glanced at the clock, pulling me closer against his chest.

I didn't respond to his comment, I let out a content sigh as he pulled me closer. He put his head down on the pillow so we could lay together.

"Don't you feel bad for lying to your friends constantly? About...us?" I ask

Theodore pauses for a moment, he thinks about what I said and then looks down at me with a sad expression. "Why do you ask?"

There was so much I wanted to ask him about, like why doesn't he want his family to know about me. He always looked a bit sad whenever he's around me, what is going on his mind? I wanted to ask him about that but I felt too awkward to do so.

"Well, we'll tell them when it's right," he says cupping my cheek by his one hand and leaning down to kiss me. I let out a quiet hum as his lips met mine.

I leaned into the kiss, my hands going up to wrap around his neck and pull him closer. The kiss felt like a warm embrace and I wanted this moment to last forever. His scent filled my brain and my heart felt as light as air.

I let my hands caress his back as I lean up toward him, wrapping my legs around him. He broke away from my lips, his breath was heavy and he was biting his lip.
