Thea Quarts was never loved correctly. Not by her family, nor her lovers. She'd always wore a mask to cover up her families brutal truth, causing her to be unknown to who she truly was as a person. But when she meets a quirky p...

CHAPTER THIRTY-SEVEN WHERE IT ALL BEGAN
STUPIDITY.
Meaning? Behavior that shows a lack of good sense or judgment. Another way to phrase it one may ask? Thea.
"This is stupid." Carmilla watches Thea pack a suitcase, "Oh, this is so stupid." She palms her face.
"Are you saying this as my friend or my therapist?" Thea raises a brow, zipping up the bag.
Carmilla crosses her arms, "Both." She turns to look at Alice, who stands at the door frame with worried eyes. "C'mon, Alice, talk her out of this."
Alice had her lips parted but no words left. "...it's her sister, Carmilla."
Tanya walks over to her mate, seeing her frustration. "Carmilla, I don't think this choice is up to you. It's up to Thea."
"No." Carmilla steps away from her mate, "None of you understand. I spent years with Thea as her therapist. I know her mentally and emotionally, I know what this will do to you." She looks over at Thea with squinted eyes.
Thea sighs, shoving her phone into her jeans, "What happened to growth? Facing my problems and not hiding from them?"

Thea puts on a faint smile, "Carmilla, I need this. I need to see if this can give me closure or...I don't know, whatever helps change these feelings that I've had for years. I have a chance, I need to take it."
Alice steps up, smiling ear to ear. "I support you, I do. I just want you to be careful, okay? If anything seems weird, you call me or Carmilla."

Esme was the first to stand up from the couch, a soft smile on her lips, her gaze soft on Thea, "Are you sure you don't need any of us to come with you?"
Carlisle rubs his wife's back, "We can go with you, Thea, you know that."
"I know that...but I'm sure. This is something I need to do on my own." Thea nods, returning the same smile.
"I know you won't listen to anything I say but take this." Kate came around, a blue gemmed bracelet in hand, "It's supposed to protect people from negative energies or whatever—Carmen is really into this kind of thing and I'm not but better safe than sorry, right?"
