He has not decided if he is going to stay or not. He should have decided he is leaving at this point, but unfortunately there is a little beta that keeps finding a way into Theo's soul.
He remembers the elevator and telling Liam he is not dying for him. Liam said it right back. No hesitation. He of course lied, because let's be honest here, he would gladly die for Liam any day. He is not sure when it happened. Was it when he came out of hell? When Liam broke the sword? Maybe it was when he was the bait for the ghost riders, but it doesn't really matter. He is stuck here. All because he couldn't shut off his feelings.
Feelings. There a funny thing. He remembers feeling proud when he was a success for the dread doctors. Happy that he was able to fulfill whatever messed up plan they had. He was confident when he thought he could take over Scott's pack but that quickly faded when he was sent to hell.
Now his feelings are pain. Pain and a weird fondness for a little wolf. He supposes pain is a sign he is still alive. He doesn't want to go back to hell or anything. He feels pain and that he isn't normal. Anyone supernatural is not normal, but he feels like he is less normal than the rest of them. He has his sister's heart and he used to feel nothing. Nothing but his plan to have a pack. Now he just wants to feel accepted. Accepted anywhere.
He is not sure when he become such a mess. Maybe it was when he helped everyone with the war and then they said thanks. That was it. Left him to himself after that. Not that he can blame them, but he still feels rotten about it. Maybe he thought they would at least check on him from time to time.
He looks at the stars in the night sky. He doesn't sleep much anymore . The nightmares are constant and he always wakes up unable to sleep. He has found that it's better to not sleep.
He hears footsteps. He freezes.
If another cop is about to tell him to go away he may lose it. Why can't people sleep in their property? Is he really bothering anyone.
He looks up and sees Liam staring back at him. He turns over and sits up.
"What are you doing here?" Theo asks.
He really is not in the mood for the packs suspicion. He just wants to be left alone. He isn't bothering anyone. He has been off the grid for 2 weeks since the war. He is just tried . Really tired.
"I've been looking for you. I finally heard from Deaton that he saw your truck. He said it's been here a few times." Liam says.
Theo looks at him suspiciously.
"I'm not doing anything." Theo says.
"I know that. I was just checking in on you. You turned your phone off. " Liam says frowning.
He did. Well not on purpose, but he doesn't have a job and he thought food mattered more. He does little jobs when he can, but since he didn't officially graduate it's hard to find something constant.
"Yea." Theo says.
He is not sure what is going on here. What is Liam doing here? He is just tired.
"Do you want to come over? Mason, Corey, and Nolan are there." Liam offers.
It's like 11 at night. Why is Liam looking for him.
"No thanks." Theo says slowly.
Liam frowns again and looks inside the truck. It's probably clear he has been living in it. Theo would be embarrassed, but it's not like he has anyone left to impress anyway.
"It's just us. I mean Scott, Malia, Stiles, and Lydia left for school. If your worried." Liam informs him.
Theo narrows his eyes at Liam.
"What angle are you playing here?" Theo asks.
"I have no angle. I just have a lot of pizza." Liam smiles.
Theo could eat . He hasn't eaten in a while.
"Ok." Theo says .
Liam smiles and gets in the truck. Apparently Theo is driving. He starts the truck and wonders if this is a mistake. He looks over at Liam and decides it's just for the night . He will leave tomorrow.
Theo pulls into Liam's driveway and shuts the truck off. He slowly follows Liam into the house . He looks around and sees a normal house. Theo wonders what it must feel like to be in a normal family.
"Theo you coming?" Liam asks looking at Theo from the top of the stairs.
He walks up the stairs and follows Liam into his room. He looks around at the 3 faces staring back at him. Based on their looks, it appears Liam didn't mention Theo was coming over.
He turns around to head out.
"Hey. Want to be on my team? Nolan sucks." Corey says.
Nolan pouts in the corner. He sees Corey holding a controller.
"You guys still play Mario Kart?" Theo asks.
"Of course." Liam says.
He sits down next to Mason.
He feels pretty weird but decides he needs to eat.
Apparently Corey is pretty ruthless in Mario Kart. He wonders how this is even a team game, but apparently they help each other to win.
He isn't sure how long they play, but at some point Nolan lays down on the floor to go to bed. Mason sprawls on the couch with Corey, both of them sleeping soundly . Theo takes this as a sign to leave.
Theo gets up and attempts to walk out.
"Hey if you want to stay, you can." Liam says.
"No I'm ok." Theo says
Liam frowns again.
Theo heads down the stairs when Liam calls out to him.
"Hey, just don't leave or anything ok? I mean I would be worried about you." Liam says.
Apparently Theo is stuck . All because of a little wolf.
He sighs and looks at Liam. He knows he will regret this but he heads back up the stairs. Liam hands him a blanket and he sits down in the chair in Liam's room. It's more comfortable than he thought. He sleeps right away.
He feels himself thrashing and his heart being ripped out of his chest. He wakes up gasping .
"Are you ok?" Liam asks.
He sees everyone looking at him. He knew this was a mistake . He nods. He doesn't offer any explanation, but no one pries.
He tries to sleep again but can't. He sees Liam looking at him. Liam gets up and motions for him to follow.
He follows him down the stairs and Liam starts hot water on the stove.
"My mom made me tea when I couldn't sleep as a kid." Liam tells him.
Theo doesn't say anything. He just sits in the chair and watches Liam make tea. No one has made him tea before.
Emotions are a bad thing.
