Endlessly - a sheo story

Chapter 26

Shai PoV

The events from last night hit me like a truck as soon as I wake up, I fall back against my pillow and forget all about my usual goodmorning-song, it's sure not a good morning today.

After a few minutes, my feet somehow manage to carry me to the bathroom so I can take a shower, after that, I get dressed and make a bullet proof coffee as breakfast.

It's only when Zoë slams my door open and storms inside, that I get out of my daze about Theo.

"Miles told me what happened!" She says loudly and rushes to me, "I'm so sorry. Theo's just being a dick, I'm sure he'll be good again."

She brings me into one of her famous bone breaking hugs, and kiss my forehead as she pulls back. "How're you feeling?"

"Terrible," I tell her. It's not a lie though; my life just sucks pretty much right now.

She sighs and takes a seat on another barstool around the kitchen counter.

Even though we're only staying here for a few days, Robert, the director, got us some small fancy hotel rooms with a small kitchen, living room, bedroom and bathroom.

"Theo is just being a dick thinking that you would ever do something like that--"

I cut Zoë off, "It's not Theo's fault. It's my own, I should've been more careful."

Zoë furrows her eyebrows, "Don't say you shouldn't have hugged your friend, because the only person that needs to get his shit together, is the paparazzi making the photo shop and even post it on the internet."

I take a sip of my coffee and stare at my lap.

"I'm going to talk to Theo," Zoë says, dead serious. "I think someone needs to knock some seem into his thick head. He probably needs more than his crying girlfriend to make him realize that he's finally wrong about something."

I smile a little over her choice of words.

Zoë walks back to the door and turns around just before walking out. "Be in the lobby in ten minutes, I'll give you a ride to the set."

"Thanks, Zoë," I say with a strained smile on my face as she walks out, and closes the door behind her back.

<<Theo PoV>>

Apparently, my mom found it a very good idea to arrange a family trip to the zoo today.

So, here I am, walking around in Costwold Wildlife Park and Gardens, with my hands in my pocket looking at nothing but the ground and my feet.

I already got stopped by some fans to take pictures, of course I said yes but I must say that I'm not really in the mood of a bunch of teenage girls running around after me.

One of them even asked me if Shai and I were a couple or not, I told her that we are not, but after she left, I actually thought about the fact if we are a couple or not.

"Uncle Theo!" Lily shouts from the tortoise cage, I walk to her and pick her up in my arms. "You know what, uncle Theo?"

"What?" I ask her with a smile on my face, she can always make me happy.

Lily rests her head on my shoulder, "I want a turtle, but mommy says I cannot get one."

I gasp dramatically and look at Jessica behind me with a small smile, she has always hated turtles more than any other animal, I have no idea why. "Really? You know what, pumpkin?"

Lily shakes her head and looks at me with big eyes, "no?"

"I think I'll buy you a turtle for Christmas," I say so loud that I know Jessica can hear me. She sticks out her tongue and rolls her eyes, I wink at her as she shakes her head and looks down at Elliot who's talking to her by her feet.

Lily lights up like a Christmas tree, "you will?!"

"Absolutely!" I say and follow my parents and siblings to the area with the snakes.

Ben's acting like he's throwing his wife, Elizabeth, into one of the cages with a huge black and yellow snake, she squeals a little and hit her husband's arm, jokingly.

There's a cage with an enormous, and by enormous I mean really enormous, anaconda.

Memories of Shai singing, rush through my head. The smile on my face disappears as quickly as it came, as I remember how much Shai was grinning while she sang along with the radio "my anaconda don't, my anaconda don't, my anaconda don't like none unless you got boobs, hun." And how much I laughed as I told her it's buns and not boobs.

A lump starts to grow in my throat as I remember how happy we were, how infinite we felt at that exact moment.

In that moment, my phone starts buzzing in my pocket and I set Lily on the ground to see who's calling me, to my big surprise, it's Zoë.
