Ch. 12: I wanted the Spark

Shai POV:

First, my father dies. And now this. I cry against the door.

I hear knocking at the door.

"Shai. Please open up. Please." He begs. His voice cracking.

I don't answer the door. I let him keep knock. After a while he stops.

Then the knocking begins.

Miles and Ansel walk in.

"Shai." Miles says and pulls me into a hug and I cry on his shoulders.

Ansel hugs me too.

"Shhh. It's okay. Let it out." Ansel says.

They sit down in the couch with me and Miles gets a call.

"Sorry Shai. Ansel and I have to go." He says and kisses my cheek.

I watch them leave and Zoe walks in.

"Shailene, I'm really sorry." She says hugging me.

I haven't been able to sleep. I have been crying all night. It's 3a.m in the morning. I have just been sobbing my heart out.

Mostly for my dad. Some what for Theo.

Theo POV:

I sit in my couch, not able to sleep. I am just thinking about Shailene. How I messed up and how Ruth ruined the spark. The spark I wanted.

I get up an knock on Shailene's door and she answers.

I open my mouth to speak and she tries to shut the door. I stop it with my hands.

"Shailene. Hear me out." I say.

She thinks about it.

"Fine Theo." She says finally.

"I didn't kiss Ruth, she kissed me. And I would never kiss her. I only like you. I didn't mean to hurt you. I'm really sorry." I say. "I would never hurt you on purpose. Never."

More tears begin to fall down her face.

"Theo. I can't deal with this right now. I need time to think about my dad and this relationship. And my dad is my first priority. I need to think about us later." Shailene says.

I nod.

"I'm sorry." I say and walk back to my room.
