Not Your Average

Chapter 34

Theo pov- I wake up the next morning to lots of talking. I get out of bed and tiptoe downstairs. I see Mallory,Mum,Haley, and Marcy gathered around the table looking a pictures of what seems to be wedding dresses. I walk over to the keruig to make some coffee. "Theo, the boys are in the living room talking about different suit designs." Mum says. "Okay." I say. Lori walks into the kitchen smiling. "What are we ladies looking at?" "Wedding dresses." Mallory replies. I see Lori getting teary eyed. "Well okay then." She walks out. I walk out to the back deck to find Lori standing there. I pull Lori into a hug. "I am sorry I got a little teary eyed back there its just I wish Shailene Could have been sitting with the girls helping Mallory pick out her wedding dress for her big Day." "I know." I reply. She pulls away and wipes her tears away. "Well you better get back in there and pick out a suit." She says. "I'm not going." I say. "What but Theo you have to." "I can't Lori I am sorry, but if she doesn't go I don't go." "Theo ,she will go, but spirit version." "I want the real Shailene." "Theo, everyday I wake up wishing that if I would have stopped her maybe she wouldn't have passed, but you need to go for your brother,but also for Shailene." That's when I realize Maybe I need to go even if I don't want to. I am not just going for my brother,but for her the girl that always knew how to make me smile, the girl that loved me for who I was truly on the inside not just the outside, the girl that gave me a reason to love someone again after Ruth, the girl that I had feelings for and always will since day one. And that girl is Shailene.
