Liam's POV
After we all ate dinner we came back to the hotel, brought Mason and Corey their food, and went to our own rooms.
"Liam are you going to start getting ready for bed?" Theo yelled from the bathroom. "After I pack!" I muttered with a small growl.
I have this weird thing where when I stay at a hotel the night before checkout I have to pack all my stuff. Then when I wake up for checkout in the morning, I put my essentials in the bad and head right out. Theo on the other hand, has all of his belongings sprawled around the room.
I have finally put everything in order and got my pajamas to change. I quickly walked over and shut the blinds and locked the door before swiftly pulling off my shirt.
I throw my pajama pants on and didn't bother putting a shirt on. I walked over to the bed and jumped into it. Theo bounced from his spot on the bed and glanced over at me.
"Get some sleep baby, we have checkout at 9." Theo whispered while playing with my hair. I grabbed his arm and pulled me close to him. He got the hint and draped his arm on my side.
Shortly after that I fell asleep. Only it seemed like almost immediately my alarm was blaring in my ear.

"Theo wake up! It's 8:30 checkout is in a half hour." I shake him until he jolts awake throwing together all his belongings.
After a few yells to get Theo's ass moving, we were out the door. We walked down to the lobby where we were met with half the school. Theo was still really sleepy and immediately reached for my hand.
I laced our fingers together, slowly rubbing circles with my thumb. As this was happening, the principal looked down at us and rolled his eyes. Theo growled and made a move to run before I pulled him back.
"Not worth it." I whispered. Instead made sure he was watching as I set a small kiss on Theo's soft lips. He smiled.
The staff directed us to the bus. I honestly didn't know where to sit. Do I sit next to one of my friends? Or next to my boyfriend? I fretted visibly in the isle before Lydia grabbed my shirt and pulled me down into the seat next to her.
"Jeez Liam could you be any more timid?"
I nervously laughed. "What's on your mind?" Lydia looked me on the eye. She's always there when I need it.
"I'm really nervous something is going to happen regarding that unknown number. What if they hurt one of you? Or Theo? Or what if they make it to my family? I just don't," I paused briefly to glance at Theo. "know if I can make it past loosing one of you."
Lydia's face dropped. "Liam. I can speak for everyone on this when I say, we will not stop fighting for your safety. So stop your fidgety whining and enjoy the days we have left all together!" She smiled.
That really opened my eyes to realize I have a pack who loves me and will fight for me. I hugged Lydia as best as I could in our seats.

After a quick ride to the airport we went through the most annoying security process till we could finally board our plane.
Theo and I go to find our seats. Me being the best boyfriend ever, let Theo have the window seat. "The flight is like 5 hours long. Want to play a game?" Theo turned to me.
I nodded, curious to see what game. He pulls out a Nintendo switch, one I did not know he even had. He clicks on a random game as we begin to play.
"Yes.. there we go... move to the left and YES I WIN!" Theo yelled, very loudly. Everyone turned to glare at us. I quickly apologized as Theo winced at his volume.
"Theo?" I whispered.
"Yes?"
"Since we're on a plane, I figure now is as good of a time as any." I paused, "you graduate soon, where do you plan on um going?" I look down at my fingers, not wanting to make eye contact.
"Well I actually applied to a few colleges nearby but ideally I think I'd like to take online classes. You know get my degree through that sort of program? I don't exactly have the money to go to some big fancy school."
I smiled proudly at my boyfriend. "Theo that's amazing. I'm so proud of you." I lean in for a quick peck before closing my eyes. I heard a buzz come from my phone.

I didn't even care that Stiles was about to beat me to the bathroom because the next text I received freaked me out.
UNKNOWN
you should be arriving in beacon hills in about 2 hours, correct? I'll be ready
"I have to go to the bathroom." I muttered. Still freaked out, I dropped my phone on the seat and practically ran to the door. "Stiles hurry the hell up!" I knocked on the door. Flight attendants give me weird looks when walking by.
"Liam be patient!" I heard him yell through the door. I rolled my eyes, yet still waited. I felt a tap on my shoulder as I quickly turned around.
It was Theo. "Liam you know I know." He was referring to the message. I know he saw when I threw my phone on the seat.
"Whatever. It's whatever." I nonchalantly pass it off. "Liam it's not whatever" he tried to turn me around, "look at me!" I fought it and saw the bathroom door open. "My turn for the bathroom." Stiles gave me a weird look before I walked past and locked the door.

Theo's POV
Once Liam walked into the bathroom, I walked back to the seats and tried to quickly gather the pack. It wasn't hard since all of our seats were placed in the same row.
"Guys, hurry up and listen!" I whispered, constantly checking back on the bathroom. "Liam got this message." I handed Scott the phone to pass around.
"What are we going to do?"
"I don't know Mason, but I am really scared." I honestly told everyone.
"We fight." Lydia sternly said. "We continue to fight till Liam's safety is assured."
"Lydia we should talk this through for a minute." Scott tried to reason.
"Scott this is non negotiable. It's Liam we're talking about. Theo he's your boyfriend for god's sake!"
I took in a deep breath before just... exploding.
"I know he's my boyfriend that's why I'm worried!" I snap, but continue. "Liam is the one person who I truly loved more than myself. The thought of him leaving me? Makes me sick to my stomach. I will fight to no end if it means keeping that stupid beta safe. I'll risk my life over and over again for him and that is a promise I intend on keeping."
I heard a sniffle from behind me. "Not if I save you first." I whipped my head around. "Liam listen." He cut me off. "No, Theo. I don't know what's going to happen when I land, but as long as I'm with the right people I know we'll make it through. We'll figure out who this is and get through it like we always do."
Everyone was pretty emotional at this point. "I love you all. That won't change." Scott tried to form a group hug.
"Ladies and gentlemen please sit back down!" A flight attendant yelled at us.
"We're having a moment!"
