Chasing Shadows //Theo James//

C H A P T E R 21

~Blake's POV~

It is seven o' clock. I am in my bedroom, packing the rest of my things. All of my belongings in my apartment are already gone and in Scotland and at my apartment there. I am leaving all of my furniture here. Since I am moving into a whole different country, I am not even going to try to ship a couch to Scotland. I am moving it all to a storage unit here in Chicago. Right now, I am packing the rest of my things. I am really only packing the clothes that I had not shipped yet because I had to stay another week.

I am almost finished packing when I get a text from Theo. I check my phone.

Hey, I had late filming tonight. I am near by. Want me to bring you some Taco Bell?

I smile to myself. Taco Bell is my favorite food. Theo says I am so unhealthy but he still gets it for me. (a/n: I am actually eating Taco Bell at the moment.)

I reply.

Sure :)

He replies.

Awesome, the usual?

I reply with a big smile on my face.

You know it!

I continue to pack until I realize that he is coming over and my house is practically empty. My couch, TV, and coffee table are still here. The movers will not be coming until tomorrow to take it to the storage unit. All of my kitchen is already in Scotland besides any microwavable items because, again, I had to survive another week here.

My whole apartment looks vacant. It looks as if I am moving, which I am, but he is not supposed to know that!

I quickly hide my suitcase and shut my bedroom door because all of the sheets are off of my bed and packed and he could see it when he walks in the apartment.

I throw some of lunchables that I had in my fridge on the counter and start opening them. I throw all of the food in them in separate places of the kitchen. I take a turkey and crackers one and put the crackers on a paper towel. I take a few bottles of water out of the fridge and set them out on the island. What? It has to look like I actually live here still.

I run over to the TV and turn it on. 'The Flash' is on and I run to my bedroom and find a notebook. I shut the door behind me and run back tot he living room. I put the notebook on the coffee table. I open my computer, which is already sitting on the coffee table, and set it up to where it looks as if I have been writing.

I calm down a bit and just stand at the island. My elbow in on the island while I rest my chin on my hand. I wait a few minutes until I hear someone knock on my front door. I take a deep breath and walk over to the door. I open it and smile at the sight of Theo standing there with goofiest grin on his face and holding a bag of food from Taco Bell. I laugh.

"Nachos and cheese with extra cheese, cinnamon twists, and a plain soft taco with just the meat." He says, quoting my usual order. (a/n: this is actually what I was eating lol. that is my usual haha.)

I laugh again and he hands me the bag. I take it and I let him inside the apartment. We sit down on the couch and I start to lay out my food on the coffee table.

"Oh, you're watching The Flash. Keiynan is on there." Theo says.

"I know that's why I am watching it!" I say, excited.

Keiynan is one of Theo's co-stars. He plays 'Uriah' in the Divergent movies and he plays 'Wally' on The Flash.

"You know, you being in love with the movies I'm in is so adorable." He says.

I laugh. We sit there and talk about random things. We share my cinnamon twists and we end up throwing them at each other. This reminds me of one of our dates where we went to the movies but ended up throwing popcorn at each other. I am going to miss that.

I am going to miss this.

I am going to miss him bringing me Taco Bell at eight o' clock at night. I am going to miss his laugh. I am going to miss the way he cares for me. I am going to miss the way he smiles. I am going to miss looking at his brown eyes. I am going to miss him.

Most people would say that I am stupid for not telling him that I am leaving and I think I am one of those people. It is stupid that I have not told him yet. I want to, I really do, it's just I have never had someone like him in my life before. I don't want to let him go.

I keep remembering that night when Theo had said he loved me. We have never brought it up in conversation, he probably didn't even know he said it but I have thinking about how I feel about him. At the time when he said it, I had just met him and we were just getting to know each other so obviously it was not love.

Now, though, I think it is.

I guess my sadness of me leaving him is showing because he asks if I am alright.

"Yeah, I'm fine. Just tired." I say and smile.

He smiles back, "Well, on that note, I am going to let you get some sleep. You have a big day tomorrow."

Oh, you have no idea.

We stand up and walk over to the door. I open it for him.

"I will see you tomorrow morning." He says and kisses me.

"Are you sure you're okay?" He asks.

"Yes," I laugh. "Now, go." I start to push him out the door. We are both laughing.

He kisses me once more, "Goodnight."

"Goodnight."

He starts to walk away and I shut the door. I take a deep breath.

He is going to hate me tomorrow.

a/n: I was watching old Divergent interviews and when Theo started talking I was like "I feel so awkward writing fanfiction about him" lol. I was like "How would he feel about that?" lol.
