Shailene Point of View

I don't know why, but this always happens to me. I don't know if I have some invisible repellant that always puts me in second place, but I'm always a backup or a rebound.  I'm never anybodys first choice. Ever. 

To be honest I've gotten used to it at this point. I keep telling myself that it doesn't bother me, but I'm lying. Of course it bothers me. How could it not?

I'm never the one.

Today is the day I fly to London. I'm excited and nervous at the same time. I'm excited because I love London. The city, the buildings, most of the people. But I'm nervous because he's gonna be there. Theo James. 

These past few days have been tough. I cried. A lot. A. Whole. Damn. Lot.

I hate him for what he's done to me.

But I can't hate him, because deep down I love him. And I hate him for making me love him. 

The test was negative. I'm not pregnant. I'm so relieved because a baby would have messed everything up. But the smaller part of me is heartbroken. Despite my age, the idea of having a little piece of Theo with me forever made me happy. Ah well, no point compalining about something you never had.

It's been 2 weeks since I saw Theo at the livestream. I'm dating now. His name is Adam. He's handsome and cool but not exactly who I want to be with. However, I'm never going to be with the one who I want. He's moved on with Ruth, and so should I.

Nobody said I have to be with Adam forever. We're just having fun right now.

I'm packing right now. I hear the taxi cab horn honk downstairs and it's time to go.

"Hurry up Lene," Adam groans. He's not a very patient man. He's not the kindest soul either. A bit of a dick actually, but I need to show Theo that I can move on too. I'm not gonna ;let him tear me down.

"One sec!" I run around the hotel room checking that I haven't left anything. I havent't.

"Okay lets go!" I say. We each grab a few suitcases and get into the elevator. We walk outside and we're bombarded by fans. They ask to take a few photos so  I do. Adam sighs loudly and stomps off to the taxi. He's mad now. Thats no a good sign.

The ride to the airport consists of Adam rambling on about how much he hates all the fans and paparazzi. I want to say something but I decide against it. We thankfully make it through check in and security without being bothered by anyone. 

I think that it might be a good day until we step onto the plane and I see him there. Theo.

Fuck!! 

Just a short little one today. Xxx
