Theo Raeken Imagines

I Hate You

"Theo, stop it." You whimpered as he grabbed your back pack and held it up so you couldn't grab it.

"What you gonna do cry?" he teased, laughing when you snuffled but shook your head.

"Please give it back." You begged but he just shrugged, tossing it away from the both of you, breaking your pencils and splitting your juice cartoon all over you school books.

"Now I don't have it." He shoved past you and knocked you off your feet as he hurried away.

"It's ok (Y/N), you can have my juice at snack time." Scott's friendly voice met you as you scrambled for the things that had fallen from your bag as your hair matted to your face which was sticky with tears.

"Yeah, next time come and get us." Stiles said firmly despite being smaller than both Scott and Theo. You were sure a string gust of wind could blow him down the playground.

"Mommy's going to be so made when she finds out I didn't stick up for myself." You outed and tried to hold the tears in.

"It's ok, he's bigger than us." Stiles threw his arm over your shoulder and walked you to class with Scott when the final bell rang.

"See you at playtime." Scott called as he waved vigorously and beamed you a bright smile.

Finding out that Theo had come back was like your own living nightmare. In fact, you'd had nightmares about the very situation. It was as if he'd forgotten his torments and bullying and assumed you'd both be great friends.

"Hey, (Y/N) ..." Theo tried to gain your attention but you hurried to your locker and grabbed your things as quickly as you could. "Why're you ignoring me?" He asked, tilting his head and frowning at you.

Your heart was pounding and your eyes widened. Theo was now huge, you however had a growth spurt but you came up to his chin and you were sure he'd be impossible to move. So effectively he'd trapped you in the corridor.

"Go away." You whispered. He frowned and flinched away from you, hurt seemed to flash through his eyes and he glanced at the space you could use to walk around him seeming utterly stumped.

You on the other hand found that Theo seemed to consume all occupiable space and was baring down on you as if he were a tall building.

"Yeah... sorry." He grunted coldly.

——— Flashback———–

"(Y/N)!" Scott called as you clutched the stick in your hand trying to catch the ball in your net as Stiles dove for it.

"MOVE!" Theo barked, shoving you so hard your shoulder made a horrible popping and snapping noise as you hit the floor. "You're so pathetic, stop crying, this is why you should be with the girls doing track." He sneered.

"(Y/N) are you ok?" Stiles asked, smacking himself in the face with his stick in his hurry to help you sit up.

"Her arms broken, your broke her arm!" Scott gasped at Theo who stared at you a minute before shrugging.

"Yeah so what." He stomped off before he could get told off and a blur of people hurried around you.

You'd passed out by the time you'd gotten to the hospital and when you woke up Mrs McCall was smiling at you.

"Hi sweetie, you're ok, we put a cast on your arm, we had to do a little operation to help the bone fix but your Mommy's on her way over from work." She smiled until you started crying.

"I hate Theo." You whispered when she asked what was wrong. "I didn't mean to be in his way."

"Tell you a secret, his family is going away soon, he's only got a day left at school before they move." She smiled when you seemed to cheer up. "Besides this is the second time he's hurt you so he'll be in a lot of trouble."

"I hope he never ever comes back." You whimpered and tucked your knees under your arms.

------Flashback end-----

"Please don't sit near me." You whispered repeatedly to yourself as Theo was introduced.

He moved over in your direction and took the seat in front of you, smiling when he glanced back at you but quickly swallowed and frowned when he saw utter terror on your face.

"I don't have a text book; can we share please?" He asked you but you couldn't get the words past the lump in your throat, he glanced up at you and looked worried when you didn't move.

"Mr Raeken is there something you and (Y/N) would like to share with the class?" The teacher asked.

"No Ma'am." He mumbled, eyes dropping as he spoke and it slowly dawned on him that you were terrified of him.

"Then please pay attention." She sighed, waiting for him to turn back around.

When the class ended, you hurried to shove everything in your back only for it to spill everywhere. Someone crouched down to help you pick everything up, their hand freezing when your sleeve lifted up a little and the scar on your arm showed.

"Did I do that?" Theo asked softly, you weren't sure if he spoke but his fingertips reaching out to gently brush the scar made you sure he had, his hand jerking back when you flinched.

"Yes." You mumbled, straightening up when you had your things gathered.

"I'm sorry... I'm so sorry I shouldn't have... I..." He spluttered but you'd already darted round the table to leave the room.

"Why did you do it, did I make you mad?" You asked quietly, your voice so close to breaking Theo wanted to scoop you up and hold you close until you felt safe.

"No!" He gasped and stepped towards you. "You were always so small and delicate, I forgot if I knocked you like the others you'd go flying off and I was angry that I had to move."

"You're a bad person." You whispered and he made a face as if you'd punched him.

"I know." He mumbled, self-esteem and confidence seeming to vanish from him in seconds. "I thought maybe we could be friends."

"I know." You stared at him as he tried to work out what to say.

"Kind of hoped you'd missed me... I missed you." He admitted and your eyes widened, Theo missing you seemed like such an odd idea that you couldn't fathom it.

"We can't be friends Theo." You tried to hold tears back so he wouldn't see them and call you names.

"Why not, I'll make up for what I did when we were little, I promise." He begged and you finally gave up on hiding the tears.

"Because I hate you." You whispered.

You left him staring at the wall just above your head, you hadn't meant to say it but it slipped out and you fled to the bathroom as Lydia called down the corridor to you.

"I missed you because I think I loved you." Theo mumbled the one thing he'd been dying to tell you since he saw you and sank down onto the nearest chair, his head in his hands.
