"Theo?" I walked towards my brother, who was starstruck at the sight of me. "What the hell are you doing here?" I hugged him tightly, feeling him freeze. "You live on the other side of town."

"What are you doing here?" He breathed shakily and I took a good look at him; he was blonde. He wasn't blonde when I left.

"You're Blonde. Why the hell are you blonde?" I muttered as he scrunched up his eyebrows at my question.

"Why am I bl- that's not important! We thought you died! W-we went to your funeral." I scoffed and turned around

"Yeah right. YOU went. Clyde and Sydney didn't have the decency to do so. Lemme guess, they were too busy destroying someone's life in court to see their daughter be lowered into the ground?" I addressed my parents by their first names, grabbing a bottle of bear off the ground.

"'Clyde and Sydeny' don't consider you their daughter anymore." He looked at me with sympathy. I shook my head and scoffed. I could feel Tom's eyes on me. "I asked them to come, and they said it was better that you were gone."

"Hmm. I guess it would be. Now, why is your hair blonde, why are you halfway across town, and why are you wearing a Hawaiian t-shirt?" I sipped my beer, disregarding the fact that I heard Tom whisper about how it wouldn't be better if I was gone.

"I'll tell you; once you tell me why you lied." I sighed, setting down my bear

"What else was I supposed to do? It was either that or spending the rest of my life on the run." I gave him a small smile, as I watched confusion take over his face.

"But why didn't you tell me? Why did you leave, for that matter?" This time, I was the confused one.

He doesn't know?

"Did they not tell you?"

"Tell me what?"

I bit my cheek,

Fuck.

"Sit down, kid. This is gonna be a long one."

He sat down and I explained to him how I killed Stephanie, faked my death, and ran to Nebraska, where I laid low for a while.

"Wait, Stephanie? Like, the girl from high school?" His voice was quiet, full of pain.

"Yeah, her. I came back about, a month and a half ago. The Motel I was staying at burned down."

"What?!" Tom's voice caught me off guard, after not hearing it for almost 15 minutes. "You never told me that!!" Theo looked taken aback by his existence.

"Well, yes, I left some things out" Theo began to question Tom's presence.

"W-wait aren't you Tom Holland? Why the hell are you here?" Before Tom could answer, he asked another question. "And were you two about to kiss when I walked in?"

"Yes, we were. Thank you so much for interfering with that, by the way." I commented, my voice dripping with sarcasm.

"Listen," He changed the subject. "I don't care that you killed her. To be honest, she deserved it. Just, would it have killed you to call?"

"No, no you're right." I smiled at him and pulled him into a hug. When we pulled apart, there were some people in front o us.

"Theo? What the hell are you- OMG! THAT'S TOM HOLLAND!!!!!"

And thus, all of The's friends began bombarding Tom with questions, asking for pictures, to which Theo just stood there and let it happen.

Rude.

"Hey. HEY!! Leave him alone."

"Who are you?"

"Are you his girlfriend?"

"No no, she probably abducted him."

"BRO! Just leave. You guys are harshing my vibe." I swatted the rude people away and turned to my brother, who had picked up my beer and started sipping it.

"Hey! You're not old to drink that yet!" I swiped the beer away from him, my 'older sister' kicking in.

"Oh c'mon! What d'you think we were doing out here anyway?"

"Yeah, speaking of which, I would go to your friends. I'll find you later, ok?" He smiled at me and hugged me.

After he left, I looked over to Tom, who eating some chips.

"Tom. Stop eating my chips!"

"Byut iym swo hwungyry" He mumbled, his mouth full of chips.

What I wouldn't give to be those chips.

The fuck bro.

LET ME LIVE

I sat down and let him finish eating his chips. Once he stopped, he sat down next to me.

"Did you mean it when you said you were happy when he 'interrupted us'?" I looked at him like he was crazy.

"What? No, you stupid mushroom, I was being sarcastic." I playfully hit him on the head. Ok, maybe not too playfully. That, or he's just weak.

"Ow!! That hurt." He rubbed his hand over his head.

"Oh grow up, I didn't hit you that hard."

And thus, Tom and I talked for hours.

Y'know what? I'm happy we didn't kiss. Cuz then, I wouldn't have seen Theo, and we wouldn't have talked. I'm happy he walked in.

No, you're not. You're dying inside.

...yeah.
