Therapy for Broken Hearts

Chapter Four

The night had came - Ansel's Halloween party (or, as he called it, Ansel's big fat Halloween Rockin Slam Smash), although it was actually November the 2nd - but who cared? Practically everyone Ansel knew was invited, and they were all excited. Plus, Ansel was going to do some Ansolo DJing and had prepared a special song for the occasion!

When people walked in, Ansel would shower them with candy and glitter. Everyone was dressed in an assortment of costumes - ghosts, wizards, even a bunch of Crayola crayons!

Theo was nervous. His relationship with Ansel could be revealed if they weren't careful, as could his relationship with Shai. He didn't want to hurt any of them.

He decided to dress as Tobias Eaton, for a laugh. He didn't have the tattoos from Insurgent filming anymore, and he didn't have any temporary tattoos, so he just had to do with an outfit he had worn at the set, plus a Nerf gun he decided to buy just before the party.

He knocked on Ansel's apartment door. Ansel opened it and threw a bunch of fudges at his face, along with black glitter. They both grinned.

"Look! The legendary Four!" Ansel shouted with mock surprise. "Such an honour to have your presence at my Big Fat Halloween Rockin Smash Slam! I'm afraid I'll have to confiscate your weaponry, though."

Theo mock sighed and handed over his gun to Ansel, who responded by shooting Theo in the leg.

For a plastic bullet, it actually kinda hurt.

Theo winced and Ansel laughed. They checked no one was watching before they shared a kiss on the lips.

They had managed to fix their relationship and were back on track.

But Theo was still also in love with Shailene.

He walked into the apartment. It seemed even bigger than before. Music blared, lights flashed and everyone was dancing wildly. Suddenly he bumped into a woman.

"Sorry." He looked and saw Tris Prior. Well, actually Shai.

"Hi!" Shailene smiled. She eyed Theo's costume. "I see great minds think alike, hmm?"

Theo laughed and they started dancing to the song that was currently playing, Totem.

"Ansel's really talented, huh?" Shai said. "At music, at throwing parties..."

At kissing, Theo thought. He smirked. "Yeah." He answered aloud.

The night was a blur. Steamy kisses were shared amongst the guests, and many drinks were served. Ansel raved and raved, happy that his party was going to plan.

By the end of the party, there was torn material from costumes lying about, some vomit puddles, and someone dressed as a ladybird was rolling around on the floor, obviously very drunk. The person was later identified as Nat.

Theo's cheeks glowed, having had a few drinks. He had never had as much fun in his life. He actually forgot about his relationship problems for once.

Then he felt a hand grab him and he was pulled back. Everything went black.

************************

Theo heard a familiar humming. In disgust and horror, he opened his eyes.

Ruth.

"Teddy!" This was the name Ruth always called him, because of his name, Theodore. Quite frankly, Theo couldn't stand it.

He tried to stand, but he struggled. He looked down and realised he was tied to the chair with rope. His arms were tied together, and his ankles too.
