Gwen's POV:

It was a solid two full week before Theodore caught up to me. I knew his schedule and the places he liked to visit so it wasn't that hard avoiding him. Sabrina was still mad at me and decided to stay with Brett and gave me her room to stay in. I needed to apologize, especially since it was me that was wrong, not her. But I was too stubborn and selfish and heartbroken to think correctly now.

Rumor had it, Theodore and Tara, the girl who got on her knees so easily for him, were now together. It wasn't my place to be angry or hurt but I would be lying if I said that I wasn't jealous that he had moved on while I was miserable. My life was robotic -sleep, school, work, study, and repeat. The medicine Sabrina's father prescribed for me were alright, no more nightmares, and he gave me something for anxiety.

Theodore was waiting for me outside of Sabrina's dorm room the Friday before Thanksgiving. I was staying with Sabrina's family, well if she still wants me to, during the four day break.

"Hey," I muttered when I saw Theodore.

"Can I come in?" he gestured at the door.

Nodding, I shakily opened the door. I prayed that Zoe was still studying in the room, she wasn't.

"Do you want something to drink?" I offered.

At the same time Theodore said, "I miss you."

We stood awkwardly watching one another, I was the first one to break eye contact.

"Look at me," he pleaded, "I'm miserable without you and you keep ignoring my calls and texts!"

"Tara isn't keeping you company?" I involuntarily snapped.

Theodore frowned, "What're you talking about?"

"I know what I saw so don't go and try to lie about it!"

"She meant nothing! I only tolerated her because I was drunk and you refused to be in the same room as me. I've been trying to give you space to think and figure out what you need to but I am hopelessly in love with you. There's no other girl I want to be with, there's no other girl that makes me feel the way you do, and there's no other girl who I love as much as I love you. You're scared and you have every right to be but I'll wait however long you need; just don't shut me out."

I blinked away tears that stung my eyes, "I don't want to argue with you and I love you too but..."

"But nothing! You want to be with me and I want to be with you, what's stopping us?" Theodore's hands were clutching my arms.

"I can't be with you right now! You think it's me that you want but it's not," I finally cried, "Us being together is not a good thing right now."

"Then when will it be?"

With Theodore's beautiful blue eyes trained on me, I felt an overwhelming urge to lean up and kiss him. Without a doubt, he was the only boy who made me feel this loved and special. He didn't deserve to be strung along like this anymore.

"We can't do this anymore Theo, we just can't."

"No!" he yelled, "I'm going to fight for you whether you want me to or not. I'm not giving up on us because I know that we're supposed to be together. I'll give you the space you want for now but after break, you and I are going to be together."

"Theodore...-"

His eyes showed not to mess with him, "Say it. Say we'll be together after break or else I'm not leaving."

"I can't make promises."

"Gwen..."

I nodded my head, "Okay, after break its you and me."

Theodore tilted my head up to his and planted a soft yet firm kiss on my lips, "I love you Gwendolyn, I love you so much."

"I love you too Theodore," I snuggled into his chest.

"Want to hang out, as friends? We can watch a movie or something."

"Is that such a great idea for right now?" I questioned him, my head still buried in his chest.

"It's a perfect idea. You can come over, we'll send Zack to get a pizza or Chinese food, and we can cuddle," he kissed my hair.

"Just friends though, right?" I stared up at him.

He rolled his eyes, "Just friends."

Teddy's POV:

Just friends? If that's what Gwen needed to believe then sure, we were "just friends" for now. I sent Zack out to get some Chinese food while Gwen and I watched 500 Days of Summer. Being this close to Gwen and not being able to touch her was killing me. Maybe just a touch? I tested her reaction by wrapping my arm around her shoulders. She rearranged herself so that she was leaning into my arms. Oh god, she smelled so good. I took the chance to push a piece of her hair behind her ear.

Gwen paused the movie and frowned at me, "Are you even watching the movie?"

"Yeah," I lied, "It's really good."

"What game are they playing right now?"

I turned towards the screen, the two characters were sitting in a park, "They're people watching."

"No," she smirked, "They're playing the Penis Game."

Not what I expected, alright. Thankfully, Zack texted me to say that he was here with the food. I went out to grab the bag of food from him.

"Is this all for you?" Zack eyed me suspiciously.

"No, Gwen is in there."

I don't know if my mind was playing tricks on me or not but I swore that Zack smiled, "Oh, good."

He left me to return to his room or whatever he did when he wasn't with me. I brought the food back to Gwen and paused the movie so that we could eat.

"Two shrimp egg rolls, fried dumplings, and sesame chicken for you," I handed her her meal, "Two vegetable egg rolls, chicken lo mien, and chicken wings for me."

Gwen surprised me by grabbing one of my chicken wings off of my plate, "Thank you."

"What're you doing, that's mine!" I fought a grin.

"I only told you to order that so I could have some," she bit into the chicken wing, "Thank you."

"You're lucky you're so adorable," I shook my head, "I was really looking forward to my wings."

"There're five wings in there! You wouldn't be able to eat them all plus the other stuff you ordered," Gwen shrugged, "I'm helping you out."

"Thanks for caring so much about me."

Gwen grinned, "That's my job."

How could anyone hurt a girl like her? The things that she told me before kicking me out were horrifying. I wanted to kick anyone's ass who dared to hurt her. Gwen was the epitome of perfection. I had half the mind to go and find whoever hurt her and kill them but since Gwen's parents were in jail, who else could I go after?

"Why're you frowning?"

I looked up at Gwen, "Huh?"

"You're frowning," she pointed out.

Clearing my throat, I looked away from her, "I was just trying to remember if I handed in a paper to one of my teachers."

"Now you're lying."

"No I'm not."

Gwen glared at me, "Tell me whatever you're thinking about."

Gwen's face showed no mercy.

"It's just," I cleared my throat again, "I don't understand why you're parents let those guys do those things to you."

She froze, "Why're you thinking about that?"

"I love you that's why," I spat out, "The fact that someone hurt you, it pisses me off."

"It was a long time ago," Gwen whispered, "There's nothing to do about it except move on."

"You're so strong, I don't know how you do it," I shook my head, "I know you don't like to talk about it but tell me about some of it. I just, I just need to know."

"Like what?"

"How long did it go on for?"

Gwen shifted her gaze, "About four and a half years."

I clenched my jaw, "How many of them?"

"Theodore..."

My head snapped up, "How many?"

"I lost count after fifty."

The amount of anger that was building up inside was dangerous, "You said that your grandmother got you out of there. What took her so long?"

"Whenever she came around, my parents acted as if nothing was wrong. They didn't argue, that much, their friends didn't come around, they didn't use drugs, it was unusually bearable. Then one day she showed up unannounced and she saw my father slap me to the ground. My grandmother may have been old but she was in shape. She rushed in and saw everything. The drugs, the bottles, one of my dad's customers; everything."

I threw my food in the bag, I was no longer hungry.

"Don't be upset, it was out of your control. You didn't know me and I didn't know you," Gwen took my hands, "I know that if you knew me you would have tried to help and that's what makes you you."

"How aren't you angry?" I stared at her, "You should be angry!"

Gwen chewed at her lip, "If I was to stay angry, I wouldn't be able to move on. It sucked when it happened and I was angry then but I went to doctors who helped me move on."

"And your nightmares?"

"They're just memories of what happened."

"My father has those types of nightmares sometimes," I told her, "His mother wasn't a good mother and he relives those memories like you do."

Gwen threw her food out too, "You're the only person I've opened up about this to except for my doctors, Sabrina, and my grandmother. You're the only person who I want to tell my story to."

"I love you so much Gwen," I pulled her face closer to mine, "I'm not going to let anything bad happen to you again."

"I know you won't Theo," Gwen sat down in my lap, "I know you would never intentionally hurt me."

I closed my eyes and brought Gwen into a tight hug, "I never want to lose you again, you hear me?"

Gwen stared up at me with her big, beautiful green eyes, "Make love to me."

I stared down at Gwen, "What?"

"I want you to make love to me, I don't want to wait anymore."

"I don't want to do it like this, it's not right," I said, "You deserve to have flowers and romance."

"Theodore, I don't want that, I just want to be with you," she made a grab for my zipper, "I'm ready."

"Gwen, please," I tried to use what little willpower I had whenever I was around her, "We can't."

Gwen lifted my shirt over my head and tossed it to the ground, "Just relax."

I groaned as she trailed kisses all over my neck and then my bare chest. Gwen's fingers worked my zipper open and she squeezed me through the fabric. Being with Tara didn't feel anything like this. I was about to embarrass myself and come before this even started.

"Jesus Gwen," I flipped her underneath me, "You make me feel so good."

Gwen brought me down to her mouth and kept me there with her arms. I felt so at ease with her right now. Pulling away, I moved Gwen's sweatpants downward.

"What're you doing?" she propped herself up on her elbows.

I may have never gotten my dick wet but I did get my mouth wet once or twice before. I yanked Gwen's thong down with my eyes trained on her before putting my mouth on her sex. Her eyes rolled back as I sunk my tongue in between her folds.

I then took a big lollypop lick from the bottom of her sex to the top and repeated several times.

Gwen moaned heavy and dug her fingers into my shoulders. It hurt but I didn't care and continued. I licked her more and then started focusing in on her clitoris, especially right there on the top left hand side of it, the place that seemed to drive her wild. When I began sucking her clit, she let out a loud moan.

I slid a finger into her depth, and flicked my tongue from side-to-side on Gwen's clit quickly. Another finger probed deeper into her as I sucked on Gwen's clit and swilled it around with my tongue. Jayanna's moans were becoming louder, longer, and closer together.

"Holy shit Teddy," her voice was just above a whisper but it sounded like she was screaming it.

I smiled, because this was the first time I heard her use that word. She started to quiver as he sucked it harder then began to lick it again, harder and faster while gripping her from behind. Finally she lunged her head forward then let out a final moan.

I could feel her gushing on my face. When she was done shaking and coming, I leaned up and kissed her on her neck and moved higher.

"How was it?" I breathed.

Gwen was trying to catch her breath, "I thought you said you were a virgin?"

"I am," I played with her hoodie's strings, "I've never been inside a girl."

"With Teddy Jr.?" Gwen grabbed me inside of my pants.

"After break, it's you and me," I kissed Gwen's forehead.
