Liam's POV
"Theo? Why are you in my bedroom?" I run into the bathroom putting on sweatpants.
"I know how this looks, but I had no where else to go." He looks down, almost like he's embarrassed. I suddenly feel guilty, he has no home.
I come back out into my room. "You can stay here tonight if you want." I whisper. He looks up like he suddenly has people who care about him. I care about him. "Thanks." He whispers back. I try to make light of the situation so I try to make him laugh. "You smell like shit, go take a shower!" I laughed.
While Theo is in the shower I collapsed on my bed. I breathed in and out. I want to ask him where he's been for three months. Then again he's been through a lot and right now he just needs a friend.
Just then a Greek god walks out of my bathroom. Oh wait no, it was just Theo. "Do you have any clothes I can borrow?" I quickly nod and grab some clothes. His fingers slowly grazed mine as he grabs the clothes and walks back into the bathroom. My heartbeat starts racing as I try to calm it down.
He walks out in blue sweatpants and a gray tank top that perfectly outlines his muscles. I'm suddenly snapped out of my thoughts. "So where should I sleep?" I look around at different options. "You take the bed, I'll take the floor." I offered. "No this is your house, I'll take the floor."
We not so playfully argue on who's sleeping where. After a good 10 minutes I finally make a decision. "The bed is big enough for both of us, let's just each take a side!" He agrees and we both get in the bed.
I hear his uneasy heartbeat and I'm sure he hears mine. "Theo..?" I whisper. "Hmm?" He's half asleep. Maybe this can wait till morning. "Goodnight." I hear his heartbeat calm down as he drifts off into a deep sleep.

I don't know what time it was. All I know is it is very early and I got a good 30 minutes of sleep. I look over at Theo and see how peaceful he looks.
I suddenly hear him stir around looking rather uneasy. Is he crying? No, he's still asleep.
"NO PLEASE SOMEONE HELP ME!"
Theo continues to scream and cry and something inside of me snapped because I instantly hated the feeling of seeing him like this.
He jumps up still slightly screaming. "Theo, shh it's okay it was just a dream shhh it's just me." I go over and hug him while he shakes. I gently run my fingers through his hair trying to calm him down.
After 15 minutes of just being with each other he pulls back and speaks up. "My sister." It comes out shaky and scared. "Theo you don't have to." He shakes his head and grabs my hand. "While I was in hell, I saw my sister and repeatedly she would rip my, well her heart out. Now ever since I've been out I can't stop seeing her when I close my eyes."
By the end of Theo's story I couldn't help but notice a few tears. "Theo I am so sorry you ever had to go through that, you don't deserve it." I look directly in his eyes.
"That's the thing. I do deserve it, I deserve every bad thing because I am a bad person." Theo glues his eyes to the floor.
My heart breaks at the sight. He doesn't deserve this. He doesn't deserve any of it. "I do not want to ever hear those words come from your mouth ever again." I sternly tell him.
"Why are you being so nice to me?"
"Because I like you Theo."
We both stopped talking and just looked at each other.
"I mean as a friend of course."
"Yeah yeah of course."
We both stopped talking and instead went back to lay down. I'm now really tired and immediately started to drift off. "Goodnight Liam."

When I woke up I saw Theo's arm draped over my chest, protectively holding onto me. I decided not to wake him up because this was way to cute.
I grabbed my phone to pass the time.
