Sometimes it snows in April

a Kiss and a second goodbye

Theo pov

I'm sitting in the top of the treehouse, looking at the sun. Thinking about life and what it means for me. I look if there are still books in the secret stashroom we made for them. I open it and a book falls on the ground. I pick it up, on the cover it says: For My little Theo, I'll always be here to protect you. It's a big notebook full of quotes and messages hidden in code and in big lumps of text. I grab my coat and go home. It starts to rain, the rain runs through my hair and makes it more curly as always. I have to walk quite a while but I decide I want to go to april to apologise first. So I'm walking through the rain and the wind towards the village. April lives just outside of the village. I knock on his door. I don't notice I'm crying. April opens the door. "I'm so fucking sorry April! I don't know what happened" He smiles and steps outside, closing the door. "Don't be sorry darling. I love you, and will always love you." He hugs me, his clothes get wet in the rain but he doesn't care. He looks at me. "What do you think about a nice book and hot cacoa in the manor?" he asks. I nod and laugh, a genuine, happy, intense smile. We run through the village, just like when we were kids. When we stop running he tells me he's cold. I give him my jacket, resulting in my suit getting extremely soaked. We can see the manor in the distance. April is laughing. "What's so funny?" "What hope you give me, while I suppose you don't really have hope in you anymore." "With you I do have hope" I say. I look into his eyes, his deep forest green eyes and before I know it a question escaped my lips. "April, May I kiss you?" I ask. He looks surprised but before I can say sorry his soft lips brush mine and his arms embrace me in a warm feeling of love. I feel my eyes water, this time not of sadness but because of pure happines and genuine love. the rains worsens and in an effort to stay dry we run the last bit.

Laughing and soaking wet we arrive in the manor. "oh fuck we're gonna catch a cold. You can brrow my clothes April. Or my mom's if you're more comfortable in them." "I doubt I'd fit in your clothes." He says laughing. I laugh when Bartholomew approaches us. He give us two towels. I dry my hair, when i'm done it's a complete mess and april start to laugh. I laugh with him just because his laugh is contagious. Bartholomew says something to me. "I'm sorry what did you say?" I ask. "There's a guest for you, he says he's from london. He's waiting in the library, I couldn't let him wait in the rain." My face drops. "A man??" "Yes my lord." "Shit" I say. I begin to walk, fast and determination, and perhaps with some anger. "Who is it?" April asks. But I don't respond. My face is frozen in a bitter expression. I open the double doors from the library with a big gesture and I see Lachlan looking at the books. I tense my jaw and start to yell. "Lachlan" He turns around and walks up to me. He gives me a hug, I'm taken aback by that, he never hugged me. I push him off of me. "April, it might be better for you to wait outside." I say. "who is this Theo? Why is he here?" "April, please I do not want to repeat myself at the moment, I'll explain everything later." "Promise?" He says looking at him. "I promise" I say with a smile. He walks out of the room and closes the doors. "Who was that?" Lachlan asks. "what's that to you?" he frowns. "I'm your boyfriend, I deserve to know things" I shake my head. "Oh lachlan, I broke up with you remember? Your sorry little ass isn't mine anymore. I'm sorry if you've forgotten that." He frowns. "I thought you'd need help after what happened." "Not from you" "I'm your boyfriend" he screams. I look at him with fire in my eyes. "For the last time not anymore. Second of all, you think that's a good excuse to decide all by yourself without my permission or my opinion to just march your ass to my village and bluntly coming to my property?" I yell. He seems to get really mad now, he steps towards me, our noses are almost touching and we both look like the other one is our enemy. "for the last time who's April?" I don't answer, still a little afraid of what he did to me when we'd fight. "Who the fuck is april" He screams in my face, my eyes start to collect tears from hate, an old broken heart and fear. But I don't step aside and if I must I will fight him this time. He raises his hand, this time I don't avoid it. Before he can hit me I simply grab his wrist. "It's absolutely none of your business who he is and what relationship I have with him.  I made it clear I am not your boyfriend anymore and even if you were you do not own me." I say calmly. "I didn't mean it like that love." "That is exactely what you meant. So take your shit and get out of my fucking house" "But" "Get out of my goddamn house!" I scream. "my love" I whisper through my teeth; "For the last time I'm not your love and get out of my house now I don't want to call the police."

Not much later I'm looking out of the window watching him walk towards the town. April put his hand on my shoulder. "are you alright Theo?" I nod. My lungs hurt from the yelling. I couch, the handkerchief turns dark red. I hide it from April, I don't want to worry him. "Who was he?" April asks. I sigh. "My ex" "The one that hit you?" I nod. "He broke my arm, but that's a long story, our relationship is a long story." He nods. "I have time"

Okay so I'm considering writing a chapter on lachlan and Theo's relationship. But I'm not sure, please let me know your opinion.
