Theo's POV
I will kill Gabe and Nolan. I will. Screw being "nice" I'll be bad if it means getting justice for my boyfriend. Those dirty little pricks put Liam in the hospital. He suffered damage to his lungs. They all say he's going to be okay but I don't know until I see for myself. I left school early to go to the hospital with him. So did the rest of the pack.
"We've been waiting for 2 fucking hours." I snap.
"Listen man it'll be okay." Mason tried to console me.
A nurse walks over and we all jump up. "Liam Dunbar?" Scott stutters. "He's stable but he's sleeping in and out. Visitors are allowed but it's family only right now."
"He's his boyfriend, that should be allowed." Lydia intervenes. She gives her a stern look until she caves in. "Alright fine but please don't tell the doctors." She laughs and shows me to his room.
My heart broke when I saw him hooked up into those tubes. Since his lungs were damaged he has a hard time breathing. The nurse shut the door giving us some privacy. "Oh baby." I tried not to cry and ran over to his bed. I slowly caressed his face, playing with his hair until he woke up.
"Hey baby wolf." I whispered. "Baby? Man you try getting several hard hits go the lungs. You know I'm pretty sure he had rings on too." Liam tried to laugh but it turned into coughing.
"Stop laughing!" I joke. "Don't make me fight you. I'm in my prime of life at the moment." He whispered. "Liam why aren't you healing?" I suddenly got worried of how sick he looks. "I think it's just taking a long time because of how much I was hit." I nodded and continued to play with his hair.
I got really sad looking at him like this. "Babe you aren't killing them." Liam firmly stated. "Pshhh what I wasn't thinking of- okay you know what I will. They deserve it." I stubbornly say. "Theo just relax for a second okay? Just lay with me." He whispers. Slowly blinking his eyes. I lay on his bed making sure not to fall on the tubes. I slowly start to fall asleep with him.
"Liam? Liam!" I heard someone shout. I jolt awake to see Liam's stepfather, I forgot he was a doctor here. "Liam who's this?" He asked. I got out of the bed. I realized it's not everyday he sees his son cuddling with a boy.
"Sorry, I'm Theo Raeken. I'm Liam's... friend." I whisper that last part, it's not my place to announce this kind of news.
"Boyfriend." Liam corrected. "Theo is my boyfriend and I'm bisexual." He proudly states.
"Wow. Well I'm surprised to say the least but I'm very proud of you son. You seem like a nice young man Theo. I hope to see more of you." I shake his hand and leave to let them have a moment alone.
The second I was out the door I was immediately bombarded with questions.
"Is he alright?"
"How's the healing process?"
"When can he leave?"
I sat down and sighed. "He's good. The healing process is taking a little long to kick in because of how hurt he got. I'm hoping he can leave tonight or tomorrow. His step dads in there now, I gave them some space." I leaned back in the uncomfortable waiting room chairs and closed my eyes.
"So you already met one of the parents huh?" Stiles teased. "Okay well maybe it could've gone a little bit better if he didn't walk in on us laying together with no knowledge of his sons sexuality." I laughed. Everyone started snickering and making stupid jokes about it.
We looked up to see Dr. Geyer, Liam's stepdad, exit his room. "Malia?" He searched for her. She stood up "I'm Malia."
"Liam's asking for you." She nodded and walked in.
"I better had back to my other patients rooms. Theo it was nice meeting you." Right when he said that I immediately straightened up. "You too sir!" I said cheerfully. He waved goodbye and headed off.
"Did you just say sir?" Mason laughed out which caused a commotion of us laughing... in a hospital... where people die. Such good people we are.
Malia walked out of Liam's room looking content. "What happened in there?" Scott asked her. "It was very heartfelt so I'd like to keep it to myself. It's nice to know we had a connection in there that only we'll share. But he basically thanked me for kind of saving him back there." She smiled. A genuine Malia smile. We don't see that too often.

A couple hours had passed and our little waiting group got smaller and smaller. We found out Liam had to stay the night so a few of us waited it out. At 9:30 Lydia clocked out. She said goodnight to Liam and headed home. 15 minutes after that Stiles did the same. Then Corey. An hour later Malia left. It was now 11:45 pm and it was just Scott, Mason and I left waiting. We periodically took breaks and got something to eat or drink or went to talk to Liam.
"Theo you should go home and get some rest." Scott whispered. It was 2am now. "No not until Liam heals." I stand my ground. Mason and Scott left shortly after that. It was just me. I slowly walked into his room. The door opening let a little of the hall light shine in, causing Liam to stir. "Oh shhh baby sorry it's just me. I didn't mean to wake you." I whispered.
"It's okay, I couldn't sleep without you by my side. Lay with me?"
I nodded and took of my shoes and jacket. I got in on one side of the bed and just slowly listened to his beating heartbeat. "Theo?" I heard a whisper after a few minutes of silence. "Yes love?" I didn't need supernatural hearing to tell that make him skip a beat, he's hooked up to a heart monitor and the machine skipped a beat. I chuckle and wait for him to continue. "It really hurts." I heard his voice crack and felt some tears down his cheek on onto my arm. "What hurts baby? Are you okay? Do I need to get a nurse?" I start to worry. "No Theo. My body doesn't hurt. It hurts knowing that people hate me so much they want me to suffer and feel pain."
My heart broke. You didn't need supernatural hearing to hear that ground breaking shatter inside of me. People thinking Liam Dunbar is not enough? Impossible.
"Baby no. Don't you dare ever think like that. Not enough? You are everything. Just because two dicks can't see that means nothing. It sounds certifiably insane that you think that. Liam you are my everything so it physically hurts me to hear you say that." I start to tear up.
Liam grabs my hand. He doesn't say anything. He just snuggles into my chest and relaxes. Both of our heart beats slow down and we can finally relax. It's been a crazy day but he makes it all worth it.

Once the sun starts to shine into the rooms we started to wake up. Liam was already up before me. "Eager now are we?" I laughed while rubbing my eyes and stretching. "I'm released today. I know it's only been a day but I don't like it in here. They don't give you good snacks." He pouts.
I sigh looking at my crazy boyfriend. "Alright well once we get you signed out of here we'll get some good snacks."
"Thank god, I thought you'd never ask."
I smile at him. He's so adorable. "I'll go sign you out." I walk over to the front desk. I ask for the release forms and fill everything out for him. As the receptionist is filing the forms I look up and see Chris here. He doesn't notice me.
"Excuse me sir. Here's your forms." I thank her and take the paperwork slowly heading back to Liam's room. I see him smile and walk over to Melissa. Greeting her with a kiss. I walk down to Liam's room. "You'll never believe what I just saw." I say, still shocked.
-
"So Argent and Melissa are like a thing now? That's so weird. I mean I support but weird. Does Scott know?" Liam asks, still a little shocked after I told him.
"I'm not sure. I'm guessing he'll find out soon." I shrugged it off for now. We can deal with that later. Right know my main priority is getting Liam some of the "good snacks" and to his own bed.
It was a terrible accident that I hated to see but Gabe and Nolan will eventually get what they deserve.
