CHAPTER 10: I'LL BE THERE

"Alright."

I nodded when Theo asked me to go to his room with him. I was curious and wanted to know what happened to him. Then, I followed Theo into his room. My face had a worried expression, as I wanted to understand what Theo went through and what happened. "How will I start..."

Theo sat on the side of the bed, then sighed.

"A guy from my past university  school forced me to make out with them, but I didn't say yes. Yet, he forced me and now...." He took out a pregnancy test from his bag. The test results are positive. I was shocked when I saw the pregnancy test. My eyes widened when knowing that the pregnancy test was positive. I was speechless for a moment.

"Oh...Oh no...Theo. What do you plan to do?" I spoke softly, looking at Theo. I knew what happened was really uncomfortable for him. I couldn't imagine what Theo went through when being forced to kiss that guy. I wanted to know what he planned on doing next. "I... Don't really know. One of our  manager noticed me wearing sweaters and jackets last month, and they wanted me to go on a strict diet..." He confessed, Theo was terribly weak. "Oh...Theo, you shouldn't do that. You shouldn't eat less and be on a strict diet when you're pregnant. You need the nutrients and minerals to take care of yourself and the baby."

I was concerned for Theo, since he was weak. I knew he was uncomfortable when he mentioned about his manager and how they wanted him to go on a diet. I felt bad for him! "Theo...do you know the father of the baby?" I asked, as I really wanted to know who was the baby's father. "It was Gregory... He was the one  who forced me..."

Theo buried his head on his knees, sobbing silently. "Gregory..."

My eyes widened when I heard that the baby's father was Gregory. I knew who Gregory was, so I understood how Theo felt. It was so uncomfortable and sad to see Theo crying because of his situation and I felt sorry for him.

"Theo, why didn't you report this to the authorities?" I wanted to know why Theo couldn't report this to the authorities. Gregory should be punished for what he had done. I knew that the authorities and the police would take action on this, so why? Why hadn't Theo reported this at all? "He's in the jail now, d-don't worry..."

Theo smiled, his heart was breaking into pieces. His body was shaking, he hadn't eaten any food earlier. I exhaled, as I was relieved that Gregory got arrested and is in jail now. Gregory deserved the punishment he got for what he had done to Theo. I felt like I could breath again, knowing that he wasn't out there freely.

Then, I realized how Theo looked so skinny...his body was shaking...he wasn't okay.

"Theo...you really aren't fine. Did you eat anything? I feel like you really need to eat." I looked at his body, seeing how he became so slim and weak. "Okay..." He followed Wish into the practice room, that place was the safest because there are no cameras inside. Wish led Theo into the practice room, happy that Theo had agreed to eat something at least. I wanted him to eat more too, as his body looked weakened and skinny. It was concerning to me, seeing that Theo lost a lot of weight in a short amount of time.

"Sit down, Theo. I'll go get you something." I gently made Theo sit down, as I walked away to the kitchen and got some food. I came back with some sandwiches and fruit smoothies, since they were quick to eat. "Here, Theo. Eat." Theo happily eats the food and thanked Wish.

"If I didn't eat, I'll be gone crazy... Thank you, thank you, thank you."
He hurried and wiped the excess before they went back to the hallway. I looked at Theo, as I felt relieved that he ate something. I felt so worried when I saw how skinny he became. Theo was right...he might gone crazy, if he had continued trying to lose weight. I didn't want that to happen to him.

Then, I smiled as Theo thanked me and said he would go crazy if he didn't eat. I was glad Theo understood the importance of eating food and didn't let himself become skinny. "You're very welcome, Theo. Make sure you take care of yourself."
