Soulmates: Our Love

| chapter 12 |

"His eyes were filled with disgust and rage, it felt like a knife stabbing her heart and the only person she could blame was herself."

Theo's POV~

I left Shailene in the room to think, I couldn't deal with her attitude anymore. How dare she think that whatever was bothering her wouldn't be any of my concern?

Without a choice, I decided to call her mother. I gave Shailene chance after chance to answer my question and she always refused. Her mother knows what is going on and if that's the only way I'll find out then so be it.

"Hello, Lori? It's me Theo." I greet her, leaning against the wall and staring at the sun setting.

"Oh hey Theo! How's Chicago? Is Shailene behaving herself?" Lori laughs silently, I sigh.

"It was going so well, but then she cried about the whole issue she's been dealing with and refuses to tell me it. Lori, I didn't want to call you but we just had a huge argument and I need to know. I need to fix this." I frown, desperate for answers.

Lori takes a deep breath before starting, "As you well know, Shailene dated her ex boyfriend Lucas and had recently met up with him a couple of days ago. However, what you may not know is that Lucas has been threatening your family and Shailene. He had also left her with the young girl, bleeding and Shai just didn't know what to do. She was only 17 years old and trusted him. Lucas told her that he'd take care of it yet he took Shailene home and left the girl on the road."

I was absolutely speechless, shocked, and had wished Shailene wasn't so selfish to not tell me. He was threatening my family and she had the nerve to hide it from me? For all I know, Luna could be in danger!

"Why has no one contacted the police?" I grip the phone, almost crushing it.

"He said he'd frame Shailene if she'd try, so she decided to meet with the young girl, Kailie and try to solve this whole problem." Her mom sighs, obviously upset that Shailene never told me.

"Thank you Lori, I appreciate it." I hang up the phone and retreat to the hotel room.

Shailene's POV~

It felt like I was lifeless, but it was all my fault. I caused this by my dishonesty, Theo thinks I don't trust him. But that's not the issue, I just don't want to bother him.

"Shailene Diann Woodley! How dare you?!" Theo's voice roars through out the room.

I stand up and see his angry figure, I've never been this scared in front of him. He was furious, raging with anger from my lies. He knows, he called my mom and he knows.

I'm so fucked.

"Theo, please I can explain-"

"You had the nerve to hide the threats Lucas was giving you and our family? That's completely wrong! How could you be so selfish?" Theo growls, throwing the keys at the wall.

Tears were streaming down my face, "I'm sorry! I didn't want to be a burden to you! I-I-I was going to take care of it I swear!"

"A burden? Is that what you think you are to me? Did you not believe all the 'I love yous' we shared and how I trusted you? Do you even love me at all?!" Theo shouts, my heart snaps into two.

I clutched my chest, as if I felt the pain and fell to the floor. Sobs filled the silence and I couldn't take it anymore. I was so hurt and all I could do was blame myself.

"I didn't want it to get this far. I never wanted to hurt you! I love you Theo, If I didn't I wouldn't be here right now! I wouldn't be wearing this ring!" I gasp for air, my eyes filled with salty tears.

I noticed Theo's face, his eyes were wet too and he seemed so upset and broken. I never meant to hurt him, to drain the life out of him.

"You can keep the ring but the wedding is off. You broke my trust for you Shailene and that's a lot to make up for. We are going home tomorrow and I'll sleep on the couch." Theo stares at me with cold eyes, I wanted to throw up.

"You can keep the ring but the wedding is off."

I ran into the bathroom and vomited, feeling so sick with myself. It felt like I cheated on Theo but I didn't. I did the worse thing I could have ever done and that was breaking his trust.

Trust isn't easily gained and isn't easily fixed. This was my worst nightmare coming true, our wedding was off. Did this mean the engagement was too? Does he want the ring back. I don't want to give it back to him!

I want us together, married and a happy family with Luna. I don't was us splitting up and never being the same with each other.

I brushed my teeth and crawled into the bed, Theo was already asleep on the couch. I watched from afar distance, he looked upset even in his sleep.

"Baby I'm so sorry, I should have told you everything. It was wrong and I will spend every day of my life making it up to you. I promise." I wipe another tear and blow him a kiss.

Slowly but painfully I had fallen asleep to be greeted by a beautiful nightmare.

The music played, my white gown glided across the aisle. My arm was linked with my father's, today was the day I'm becoming Shailene Taptiklis.

Luna was wheeled in a decorated wheel wagon and played with her frilly white dress. Flowers were thrown and we began the walk.

"Daddy, I'm nervous." I whispered and earned a chuckle from him.

"Don't be, Theo will take good care of you. He's an amazing man." He smiled and kissed my knuckles.

Our eyes met, I felt like I was on cloud nine. But soon, they were replaced by hatred and disgust.

Suddenly, the beautiful scenery disappeared and it was as if everything was on fire. My dress was burnt at the edges and Theo looked at me with sadness.

"You did this, you caused this! You deserve nothing but hate!" Theo yells and I cry.

I woke up, panting and noticed Theo by my side. Please tell me everything was a dream, please.

"I was just going to say go get ready. We may miss the flight and I want to get back home to my daughter. For all we know she could be taken by that bastard." Theo hisses and leaves me to get changed.

I cover my mouth, trying to silent my sobs. It wasn't a nightmare, it was reality.

•••
AN: Don't hate me. Okay, I give you permission to get really mad because I was actually pissed off writing this lmao! Oh Sheo, things get so nasty while they fight. Things have been said that they didn't mean and shots have been fired.
