We Will Always Find The Way / Thiam

Chapter 8

It has been two minutes since Theo took the bullet. Liam still had time, but not much. Liam was entering every possible room in this hospital, to find a single lighter or something else that could burn the wolfsbane out. He finally ran into the surgical room and as soon as he opened the door someone tried to attack him.

'Liam ? Were have you guys been ?' Melissa asked, when she realized that it's just Liam and no one else. 'Ohh...and... sorry about that. Didn't know it was you.' She added, apologizing about trying to hit him.

'Theo is injured. We need to burn the wolfsbane out of him.' Liam told quickly, without even explaining  or saying anything else. He didn't even wonder if they were in a possible danger.

'Where is he and how bad is he ? In have a lighter.' Argent demanded in his usual tone. No matter what happened he knew how to stay calm. He would never panic in these type of situations. He had been trained for this and he would never show his fear or the fact that he's stressed. Chris was really strong, stronger than anyone could expect.

'Right around the corner.' Liam answered Argent's question and caught a lighter that he had threw to him.

'Okay, go to Theo. We'll make sure that no one gets you.' 

...

Liam was back to Theo. Theo was't moving. He just sat there, without any movements. When Liam saw him like that, his chest shrank and he started to feel nauseous. For a moment Liam even felt miserable, he didn't want to lose Theo. Liam, himself, hated the fact that he cares so much. He should still hate him for what he did, but he couldn't. There was a part of him that cared about Theo quite enough.

Liam came closer to Theo and saw his chest all covered in blood. He had shut his eyes. Liam's hands stared to shake. He had never felt like this before. He felt awful. Liam just sat down, next to him and started to burn the wolfsbane out. He wasn't even capable to do anything else. He was in shock and couldn't come up with other ideas.

 For a few second nothing happened.

'You can't be dead. You just can't.' Liam whispered and his voice cracked. He didn't mean to cry. He didn't want to it, but no matter how much he fought against it, a few tears still managed to escape. 

'Don't say that you are crying.' was the first thing Theo said, he chuckled about it like he usually would - like him almost dying is no big deal.

'Decided to come back from the dead ?' Liam ignored his question and gave him a small smile. Liam felt relieved - a wave of relief surrounded him. He started to relax slowly. He had never been this relieved in his entire life, but he didn't show it, not even a little like it would be a bad thing to do. He didn't want Theo to know that he actually does care, so he just kept being sarcastic and simply joked around.

'Maybe.' 

They looked at each other for a while. Not for too long, but it wasn't a quick stare either. It was a little too long to be nothing, but a little too short to be something.

'If you don't mind, we still have things to do here and since you look alive, you could help me.' Liam got up and gave Theo his hand to help him to get up.
