Liam's POV

After gym class we all changed back into our normal clothes. School was now over and I was feeling friendly and did something very very stupid.

"Hey Theo. You should come back to my place. Just to play some video games or something." I start to stutter towards the end.

At first he just stayed silent. "Yeah, why not. I'll drive you in my truck." We both got in and drove down to my house.

I threw my bag down and turned on my console. I pop in the first game I see and hand Theo a remote.

We continue playing until eventually, he beats me. "How did you get so good?" I threw my hands in defeat. He laughed. "I got some practice over the months." Theo admitted. I rolled my eyes and insisted on a rematch.

"Come on! No! This way this way! Yes! Ha I win." I start scrambling and yelling. Theo laughed. He looked over at me. I looked into his eyes and all the memories came rushing back.

"Okay next game." I quickly said and glued my eyes on the screen. "We could be playing this game naked if you chose other wise." Theo smirked. "Oh is that so?" I laughed. Theo nodded.

"I bet you wish we were right now." I teased. "Oh I think you're the one who wants it." He just teased me back.

"Sure I'd want it." I offered. "The thing is" Theo stopped for a second, "you don't want it."

I was confused. "You broke up with me. Ending all of that." He explained. "So this is my fault?" I scoffed. "Yeah, it kind of is." Theo told me.

"You should just go." I whispered. Theo threw his controller on the ground and walked out.

I pull out my phone and contemplate over who to text.

LIAM

hey scott, you have a minute?

SCOTT

what's up lil beta

LIAM

it's Theo

SCOTT

okay hang on

LIAM

umm okay?

SCOTT

You👏🏻still👏🏻love👏🏻him👏🏻 you always have and always will!! You broke up with him for some reason only you will know. So now the only way to be with him is to argue with him because then at least he'll feel something for you. I think you'd rather have him be yelling at you instead of nothing at all. Now it's not my place to say this or anything but the pack and I are just desperately waiting for you 2 to get back together.

LIAM

wow

SCOTT

wow what?

LIAM

wow you are very right

SCOTT

I am??

LIAM

trust me scott, I wish I was back with him. My heart aches without him. He's the love of my life. It's a bit more complicating then just getting back together. We constantly argue and there's no way of getting past that in a relationship

SCOTT

I can see that. here's a piece of advice

LIAM

ooo my favorite

SCOTT

yes I love Malia with all my heart, but before that was Allison. We don't talk about her much. She was my first love. There was no doubt in my mind she was my soulmate. We had some issues and broke up. Then heaven took her in too early. Not a day goes by where I don't miss her. Life's too short to ignore your heart. Liam, if you truly believe Theo is the one then don't hesitate to make it right. You don't want to be in my situation.

LIAM

Scott... I'm so sorry you went through that. Theo is the one. I know it. I'm going to try my hardest to make it work. Thank you

SCOTT

of course

LIAM

you're the closest thing I have to a dad right now

SCOTT

what about your step dad?

LIAM

my parents work constantly, never home. they don't know what I'm going through right now

SCOTT

that's something no one should have to go through

LIAM

I've been going through a lot of stuff lately, I always make it out

SCOTT

you will, i love you Liam

LIAM

I love you too scott, thank you for everything you do for me

——

LIAM

why do we keep screwing this up?

THEO

well hello to you too

LIAM

I'm serious. Why won't this friendship work?

THEO

we can't force what isn't meant to be

LIAM

we aren't meant to be..?

THEO

we aren't meant to be friends. we will always be more then that

LIAM

Theo..

THEO

I may not be your first love, but you were mine

I set down my phone. I thought about what Scott said about his first love, Allison. I'm so scared that I'll lose Theo somehow.

THEO

sorry, I probably shouldn't have went there

LIAM

it's no problem at all

LIAM

I got your ring by the way

THEO

Lydia?

LIAM

yep, she gave it to me earlier at school. it was really sweet of you

THEO

Liam?

LIAM

yes?

THEO

it hurts

LIAM

what hurts Theo?

THEO

my heart

LIAM

did something happen??

THEO

yeah... I met a boy. who I fell in love with, so in love with. he was the light of my life. my voice of reason. he left me not to long ago and it kills me

LIAM

that guy who left sounds like a dumbass

THEO

gotta give him credit, he made me, of all people, fall in love

LIAM

what a lucky guy

THEO

if anything I was the lucky one

I set down my phone. The tears were covering the screen. I miss him so much. I choke out a sob. Again and again until I can barely breathe. I want to scream and cry until nothing comes out anymore.

LIAM

I miss you

THEO

no you don't, you don't love me anymore

Tears were streaming down my face. He needs to know. It was about 2:30 in the morning. I called Theo.

"Liam?" Theo's voice cracked. "Theo you don't get it." I choked out, still sobbing. "Liam what's wrong? Why are you crying so much?" He sounded worried. "You think I don't love you! I only think about you every single second. It hurts me to see you and not be able to run up and kiss or hug you." I cried. "I can't handle this right now." I could tell Theo was starting to cry.

All of a sudden, the line went dead. The phone call was over, as was my relationship with Theo.

a/n
