Soulmates

Soulmates >> 4

Love isn't something you find. Love is something that finds you.

{Shailene point-of-view}

I can't believe Theo would say that! I've been helping him all week, and that's how he repays me.

My father died from lung cancer one year ago. I was devastated. I never left the house, barely ate, and was really depressed. My dad was my bestfriend.

I'm now in my bedroom, so I just lay facedown on my bed and cry. I cry for my father, I cry for the way Theo treated me, I cry for everything.

My phone rings, I check the time and see it reads 6:00.

Hey sis :) would you mind watching Bree overnight? She already misses you :-)
- Tanner

I figure having Bree her would make me feel better, so I type back 'yes'

Thanks Shai. I'll be there in a min.

I don't write back a reply, and just stare at the wall. I hear Theo's bedroom door close, so he must've went back into his room.

"Shae shae!" Bree jumps into my arms, a huge smile on her face.

"Bree!" Theo comes out of his bedroom with a confused look. I forgot to tell him Bree was coming.

"Who's that man staring at us?" Bree whispers loudly in my ear. I laugh and turn to Theo.

"That's Theo. He's my costar. Theo, this is my niece Bree." Theo looks a little sad when I only refer him as a costar. I guess that was a little harsh.

"Hi feo," I chuckle at how she says his name, so does Theo.

"Can we watch frozen?!" Bree's favorite movie is frozen.

"Sure! Go ahead and put it in the DVD player," she walks over to the TV while Theo turns to go back to his room.

"No! Stay with us!" Bree shouts with a smile. Theo turns to me for a answer, which I shrug in response.

"That'd be awesome," we all take a seat on the couch, after I grab a bunch of pillows and blankets.

Bree starts to sing along to the song 'do you want to build a snowman?' I start to laugh at her enthusiasm.

"I'm really sorry Shai. I hate myself for saying that stuff to you. I'm an idiot, and I understand if you don't forgive me." Theo whispers, so Bree won't hear.

I guess I did overreact. He is under a lot of stress with his mother and all.

"I forgive you." I cuddle into his side before kissing his cheek.

"Thanks Shai."

Would you rather have really long chapters, every once in a while? Or shorter chapters updated regularly.
