Friend Reunion » Theo Raeken

Part 42

"I have to go. I have to find Stiles. I feel so bad for leaving him alone." I said to Theo. I've been thinking about it the last hour. Yes, Stiles sent me inside and I understand that he was just trying to protect me like he always does, but I know how to take care of myself. We are seniors and we will go to different collages. They won't be there to look out for me anymore.

"Just be careful. Something bad is going to happen today." He said and I frowned. "Trust me, okay? Just try to stay away from problems." I just nodded. I had the feeling that he knows more that we all do and he is leaving these little hints, but in that moment I wasn't in mood for solving puzzles. He raised my chin. He leaned closer and our faces were inches apart. When he finally kissed my mouth, everything went strangely quiet, like the moment of silence between lightning and thunder. Theo wrapped his arms around my waist and held me tight as I clutched the front of his shirt. We were kissing like crazy. Like our lives depended on it. His tongue slipped inside my mouth. My fingers gripped his hair, pulling him closer. My heart was beating so hard I could feel all my pulse points throbbing. He pushed me against the door, slamming his hands on either side of my head and kissing me more forcefully. He pressed his body against mine. His face had the slightest bit of stubble and it rubbed my skin but I didn't care. I managed to pull my lips away from his.

"I really have to go." I muttered feeling dizzy from the kiss.

"Okay." He said and took a step back.

I was about to leave but I turned to look at Theo one last time. I sighed and ran into his arms and kissed him again. I just couldn't help it. It felt like a goodbye and it scared me. When I pulled away I sighed again and then I left. I didn't want to. I just wanted to stay with Theo but I really needed to find Stiles. I texted him as I got into my car. I was on my way to the Police Station to meet with him but then I took a wrong turn and suddenly I was parking my car on the edge of the woods. I was thinking about what Kyla said to me. Something is going to happen, something against the nature. I got out of car and started walking deeper into the woods touching every tree I passed. I felt so much tension like every plant, every animal and every tree knew what is going to happen. And I was standing there, looking around confused and I just couldn't work it out. What is different? I groaned in annoyance and sat down.

"Something against the nature, something against the nature.." I was muttering.

Suddenly I heard something behind me and I quickly stood up and turned as my heart started beating faster. I saw a wolf looking at me. No, no it wasn't a wolf. It was coyote.

"Oh my God." I whispered. I saw it before. That night when Mason found out about werewolves but I thought that is a wolf because it was dark.

"Who are you?" I asked. I watched as the coyote started changing into human and I stared with my mouth open at the person that stood in front of me. I was looking at naked Theo Raeken.

"I thought that you are going to meet Stiles." He said and grinned.

"What the hell just happened?"

"Oh, don't play dumb. You know what happened. I have the feeling that you knew this whole time."

"You are with them. You are a chimera. A successful one." I whispered not being able to believe what just happened. I felt betrayed and humiliated. He just nodded and grinned again.

"I was afraid that you will tell the pack. That time when you tore down the fence you knew what I have planned but you didn't tell them. Why?"

"I was too dumb to listen to my instincts." I muttered.

"Oh, I wouldn't say that. I would say you were just too deep in love."

"So it was just a lie, all of it." I looked at him and saw his face soften a little bit.

"I didn't want to fall in love, not at all. It just happened. I lied about a lot of things, but I don't lie when I say that I love you."

"I hate you." I screamed.

"I know you are lying. I hear your heart, remember?"

"Well, did you hear how you broke it? Did you hear how you fucking shatter it into little pieces? Again!" I yelled. I started sobbing and Theo took a step closer.

"Don't you fucking dare! Don't you dare go near me! How could you do that to me? I trusted you and you stabbed me in my back! Was it fun? Was it worth it? You destroyed me!"

"Kenz..."

"No! If you hurt my friends, I'll kill you. And you can hear my heartbeat, you know I am being serious right now." I said and then I ran as fast as I could and got into my car. I started sobbing again as I started the car. What was I thinking? Why did I trust him? He was right, deep down I always knew. I was just pushing it away. I didn't want it to be true. This is what I get for trusting people. Pain and betray. And suddenly the sadness turned into anger, and the anger turned into strength.
