truly, teddy ✔️ [unedited]

ty's pov

"aww i love me too."

and just like that, teddy is gone. she's gone and i can't tell her. i hate how i didn't know what i wanted to tell her, i just wanted to say something more to her. to make sure she knows that i love her like a sister and this is killing me to see her like this.

crazy.

crazy over ivo, that back-stabbing jerk.

he wasn't the one who stayed with teddy and helped her through the bullying. he didn't talk with her throughout the night, getting her to not commit suicide. he wasn't the one who visited her almost every single day when she was going mad in the hospital.

that was me. that was all me. and yet, she is still obsessed with the idea of the ivo she used to know. now he's just a back-stabbing jerk.

nah, he's not. i just don't like him.

at all.

the elevator door opens and out runs ivo. speaking of him...

haha i'm sidekick. y'all can bow down to me now.

he runs around screaming teddy's name. i just stand there, glaring at him. he had the nerve to come when she just left. wow. just wow.

"teddy?" he calls. "teddy where are you? doctor, do you know where teddy green is?"

the doctor says, "room two thirteen."

ivo runs ahead past me, not even noticing me, the guy that was the best friend of the said patient he's trying to find.

idiot.

"teddy, i'm so sorry. i couldn't come to visit until now. my mum wouldn't drive me at all and then i had to save enough money to get a bus ticket to another town and just-"

he stops when he stepped inside the empty room. ivo gasps. "where is she?"

"she's gone pal," i say. "you missed her."

ivo whips his head towards me, looking sad. the look in his eyes is horrible; it's that stupid emotion called love. and i hate him even more because of that dumb little glint in his eyes. he didn't even bother to visit her and now suddenly he loves her? something isn't right with this picture, man.

"ty? what are you doing here?" he asks.

"what am i doing here? oh no, man, the question is what weren't you doing here? where were you a half an hour ago? better yet, where were you when teddy started to go crazy?! i was there for her everyday and still she likes you and i hate it. i hate it, ivo."

my voice cracks on the last word. i don't know what was happening to me but i don't like it.

"i'm sorry man," ivo says, taking a step forward towards me. "i wanted to visit her, i wanted to so badly. but carine and my mum wouldn't let me. they didn't like teddy and mum even blocked teddy's facebook from my own when she saw us messaging. i didn't even know where she was and i had to ask her mum, which wasn't easy because she thought that i was the cause of teddy's hallucinations. do you know what that was about?"

"yes," i croak. what is wrong with my voice? "she kept seeing you try to kill her."

"what?!"

i nod. suddenly, i crash forward and ivo catches me.

i grasp onto him, scared that if i let go, i'd die of sadness. i start crying, which was really weird for me. i never cried. ivo hugs me back equally as hard. "she loves you, ivo. she loves you."

"i know," he whispers.

"so, do you love her back?"

"i don't know."

"jerk."

he laughs. "no, ty, i mean i don't know if i love her or not. i certainly like her - more than i should - but love her, i don't know."

"she - she's like my sister, ivo. and all i want to do is see her happy. and you make her happy."

"she's makes me happy too. i like her. a lot."

i pull back from the hug. "well, then, go see her."

"where is she?" ivo asks.

"in a mental hospital. cherry hills is what it's called," i say.

"why is she there?"

"the hallucinations. they were too much for her. she thinks that if she was locked up, she can't hurt anyone anymore. but she's wrong. she's so so wrong." i shake my head.

"i can't believe this."

"i can't either," i say. "sometimes, i think this is some big bad nightmare that i'll just wake up from the next morning. i'll wake up and teddy will be better. but no. oh no. she's worse when i wake up and i hate it. i think you'll help her somehow."

"how?" ivo asks, sitting on teddy's hospital bed.

i sit down too. "well, i actually don't know. maybe just see her. talk to her. something."

he nods. "okay. i can do that."

"go," i say, pushing him off the bed. "go and get teddy better."

he laughs. "i will."

"and don't come back until you do," i called after him.

when i'm absolutely positive he is gone, i mutter, "or just don't come back at all."

cue evil frog laugh.

and then i start laughing evilly. it's a full out laugh with the whole slapping knee and bending over. and it sounds just like a frog.

"are you okay?"

i turn around and a doctor stands in the doorway, looking scared. i smile, nodding.

"just fine, just fine."

and then i start crying because fine was mine and teddy's always. fine. fine. i'm not fine. not even in the closest.

"you don't look fine to me," the doctor says.

i just cry harder. "i want teddy," i wail. "i want my teddy bear."

and then i lay down on her hospital bed, crying my eyes out.
