A/N: this was taken from my ao3 account (raekenslovr) and posted onto here.

please be mindful since this was actually written in december when i had just started writing, so i apologise if there are any mistakes.

7 years later:

Theo had gotten out, he'd made something of himself when nobody had believed in him.

Nobody but Liam believed he could do it, but he managed to do it and make something for himself.

A couple of months after the war, Beacon Hills began to fall into a sense of calm, which was strange for Beacon Hills, but people had began to understand and accept the supernatural as one of them.

Liam didn't need a protector anymore, he was more than capable of handling himself.

He didn't need Theo anymore, so Theo decided that it was his time to leave, he only stayed for Liam after all.

It broke his heart, but he did was best for the two of them, he did what was best for everyone.

Stiles and Malia hated his guts, Corey and Mason wanted nothing to do with him, Scott would never fully trust him.

Why would he?

Even after all these years, Liam was the only one who cared, the only one who trusted him, but it was starting to tear the pack apart, he left to protect Liam and now it was all his fault.

Yet Theo somehow found himself, all these later, standing at the end of Liam's hospital bed, with that same heart crushing feeling tearing him apart.

The same feeling that drove him to leaving in the first place, was now the reason Liam was hurt.

He couldn't bare to handle it, and as much as he didn't want to leave Liam's side, he needed fresh air more.

As he turned around the corner, he was taken down by a black shadow.

"Oh my god, I'm so sorry" he heard a females voice speak.

"No worries" Theo reassured her, looking up in order to see the mystery woman. 

She had long black hair, pink rosy cheeks, her figure stand slouched over and her eyes puffy as if she'd been crying. 

He seemed concerned as to the state she was in, "Are you alright?"

"Yeah, um, my boyfriend got into an accident, they won't tell me if he's going to be okay or not," He didn't know how to react.

It must of been bad, since she was crying, he knew but he still didn't know to respond.

"Oh"

"Oh my god, I'm so sorry. I don't even know you, I shouldn't be dumping this on you," now he felt really bad for her. 

"It's okay, really don't worry."

"Still, I'm sorry. You seem really nice but I shouldn't bombard you with all this. I should really go."

He watched her walk away as he headed for the waiting room, where he found the rest of Liam's pack waiting.

Scott walked over and pulled him into a hug.

"I see you've met Hikari," Hmm, that must be her name he thinks, but that means Liam has a girlfriend.

He let the thought sink in, Liam has a girlfriend.

When did this happen?

Theo was still trying to grasp the concept as to why after all these years the pack had reached out, and why he felt like he was 17 again, watching Liam kiss Hayden in the backseats of his car, wishing it was him.
