Theo's POV:
The entire pack was at Scott's watching a movie. I was sat with my boyfriend, Liam on the small couch. I had my legs sprawled over his lap as I watched the screen.
'This movie is boring' I thought.
'Why isn't the girl running? It's obvious the zombie is going to get to her now...' I thought.
Then, suddenly zombies started to break away from the ground. I froze. I got terrible deja-vu from when Kira sent me to hell.
All the memories from hell started to play through my mind. They started to play in my mind like a movie. All the torturing, the brutality, the mental pain my sister caused me.
It all came back.
My heart sunk as my head pounded. It felt like I couldn't breathe, my throat was dry and I couldn't think straight.
I looked over to Liam, I wanted to grab his hand and shove my face into his neck and inhale his scent. But when I looked over at him I saw his eyes already on me...
Along with everyone else's.
They all had guilty expressions written all over their faces. I assume they felt bad about sending me to hell and this brought back that memory for them as well but it was way worse for me.
I swallowed hard.
"T, you okay?" Liam asked.
I looked back at him as Scott paused the movie before looking at me again.
I nodded fast before getting up off the couch.
"Uhh- yeah, I..um.. I just need to g-go to t-the bathr-room." I stuttered out awkwardly before speed walking up the stairs to the bathroom.
"Wait!" I heard Scott say.
"Theo!" Liam said.
I just ran into the bathroom and locked the door behind me. I slid my back down the door. My mind was still playing bad memories as I sat on the cold floor.
I couldn't hold in my sobs any longer. Tears started to poor from my eyes as I felt my face heat up. My hands started to shake.
I just cried, and cried.
I was in there for a good 5 minutes before I felt a light tapping come from the other side of the door.
"T... can you open the door? Please?" I heard.
It was Liam.
"Uhh- give me a second!" I panicked, quickly wiping my eyes with my shirt sleeves.
"Please just unlock the door, baby." Liam pleaded.
"It's just me... can I please come in?" He asked when he didn't get a response.
I sighed before hesitantly unlocking the door.
The knob slowly turned until the door was being pushed open.
I swallowed the lump in my throat and sniffled to try to get my nose to stop running.
When he poked his head in the bathroom I saw his guilty look turn into a slight frown. He stepped in and shut the door behind him.
"Hey Li." I tried to say casually, but my voice broke.
"Bubba, you're crying." He said in a sad tone.
"I'm fine, Li." I said with a very fake smirk.
"No you're not, look at yourself." He said turning my head towards the mirror.
My nose and eyes were red and puffy. I had slight tear stains and my eyelashes were wet with tears. My eyes were glazed over and my lip was slightly trembling.
"Huh, so I... might've been crying." I mumbled looking back at him.
He frowned.
"Why, baby?" He asked stepping closer to me.
He grabbed my face in his hands using his thumbs to wipe my tears.
"It's nothing, Li. I'm okay, really." I said with a small smile.
"You hardly cry, T. Something must be wrong." He said rubbing our noses together slightly.
I sighed and rested my forehead against his.
"It's just... the zombies. I got flashbacks to hell and my sister and stuff. That's all. But I'm okay." I mumbled truthfully.
He flashed a guilty look.
"I'm so sor-" he started, but I cut him off.
"No don't apologize, please. None of you need to feel bad. I was going to kill all of you. I deserved every minute of hell and I should be the one apologizing." I said.
"You didn't deserve that at all,T. You were just in a bad place. We all make mistakes and we should have never sent you there." He said.
"Well, you brought me back. And I'm okay now, I swear." I said.
He just nodded before kissing me softly. I kissed him back lazily as I felt all my bad thoughts float away.
Liam was the only one who ever made me feel like a good person. I feel better when I'm with him.
He lazily slid his tongue in my mouth as he jumped up into my arms. I wrapped my arms tightly around his waist as his legs swung around mine.
He pulled away slightly before pecking my lips a few times.
"I love you, T." He whispered.
"I love you, Li." I said.
He hugged me hard and I shoved my face in his neck. I inhaled his scent and it was so nice. It was exactly what I needed.
We stood hugging in the bathroom for a few minutes before we pulled away and walked down the stairs.
I sniffled a few times wiping my nose and eyes one last time.
Liam pulled me back to the couch where all the pack sat with sympathetic smiles on their faces as a way of an apology for being the reason I went there in the first place.
I just smiled and we all went back to watching the movie.
I'm not perfect, but at least around Liam, I'm better.
And that's all I strive to be.
