songs : Mercy by Shawn Mendes
Here I was, sitting in front of the green eyed boy waiting for an answer. This situation is fucking nerve-wracking as I dont know what to expect. He's not making this any easier since he hasn't spoken a damn word yet.
Theo lets out a frustrated sigh hiding his face with both his hands, throwing his head back. I wonder what made him this tongue tied.
-''A penny for your thoughts?'' I suggested fidgeting with the end of my shirt not daring to look at the lost boy in front of me.
-''A, I cant do this anymore'' he says barely audible
-''Do what?'' I ask confused
-''Pretend that everything is fine'' he basically yells
-''Wha-'' I shake my head trying to understand his' sudden outburst.
-''You wont understand and I dont want to hurt you, please believe me when I say that'' he kneels in front of my current chair and holds my hand. He continues
-''I have to keep my distance, I dont know how long-''
A sudden thud startles us , I stand up abruptly catching my breath. Rushing to the staircase, I see him. Laying unconscious in a pool of his blood. He looked lifeless yet peaceful.
My life came crashing down on me. Everything became a blur.
I feel weak, useless. My knees give out as I crumble on the ground next to gramps' body.
-''Theo..'' I couldn't form words properly
My mind was blank as my tears threatened to spill out. I shut my eyes trying to remove the situation from my head. It was there, in my mind, vividly sending shivers through my spine.
I cant loose him too no.
-''God no''i whisper placing his head on my lap gently
Theo worked quickly next to me.
-''I'm here, just hold on'' I tell gramps even though I know he's not listening.
Time passed slowly, minutes felt like days. My angels' body is shortly after being ushered on a stretcher to the back of an ambulance. Monitors and oxygen devices made their way to his barely alive body.
Sirens and strobing lights.
Darkness.
HOURS LATER Aella's room.
God please let it all just be a nightmare. Reality sunk in as I open my eyes. Theo was there next to me. He squeezed my hand reassuringly. I jolt up fast making my head turn and I suddenly feel sick.
-''Lay down, you fainted a few hours ago. Don't move i'll go get you water.'' He instructed and left my room eyeing me softly.
He returned giving me a cold glass of water, placing his' fingers under my chin holding me steadily as I drank.
-''Thank you'' I whisper only for him to hear.
-''Gramps, gramps I want to see gramps'' I say fast getting up from my bed.
-''He's fine. A mild concussion is all.'' he reassured me
Not enough. I had to see him.
-''Theo please. you don't understand'' I say holding his hand as I tugged gently making him stand up next to me
-''I lost everyone, you included, I cant loose him too'' I whisper looking outside my window.
-''Look at me'' he says gently
I oblige.
-''You didn't loose me. Never will either'' he whispers the last part
-''Why are we whispering?'' I whisper smiling
He smiled back taking my hand and guiding me towards his car.
-''Seatbelt on'' He orders putting his' on as well
We drove in silence to the hospital, the soft tune from the radio was the only sound.
We passed skyscrapers and busy streets. The madness in the city comforting my soul.
My mind goes back to my previous conversation with the lost boy next to me. I look at him inspecting his beautiful features for the millionth time since I first met him. Well re-met him.
It made sense. All of this us reconnecting. It felt right. If only I knew what goes on in this head of his'.
THEO'S p.o.v (a/n YAS)
She is so fragile and so sweet. Bad things always made their way to the beautiful creature next me. I can only hope for it to get better before I go on my way.
My grip on the steering wheel becomes way too tight as my knuckles turn white and my jaw tenses.
Her delicate fingers brush against my skin. My eyes flutter under the sudden contact.
To say I was whipped would be a fucking understatement. She made me feel better, if only I had the same effect on her. I sigh guiding a hand through my hair as I entered the hospital's parking.
Aella's hand retreated from my face but I was quick to hold it in mine and intertwine our fingers.
I faced her, a smile tugging on her full lips. Damn those lips. I realized I was staring when she turned to me showcasing her breathtaking face.
Her smile though wasn't able to hide the sadness and worry in her dilated eyes.
It was agonizing, tormenting, killing me to see her like this.
I swiftly park the car and make my way to her door opening it for her.
-''You dont need to do that'' she tells me her eyebrows slightly furrowed
-''I know, but I want too'' I shrug starting to walk
We made our way to the front desk where a nurse guides us to room 505.
Aella's hand made its way into my own and held me firmly making me stop.
-''Please don't leave me'' she pleads looking extremely vulnerable tugging at my heart.
-''I would never'' I kiss her forehead and hold her tightly in my arms. She fits perfectly as if she was made to be inside my embrace.
Outside the room, the beautiful creature next to me inhales and closes her eyes.
Before I could react she pulls me into her and crashes her sweet lips into mine.
She doesn't know what she's doing to me but I cant say I dont fucking love it.
