The unseen moments between Theo and Mabel in S2 Episode 7 "Flip The Pieces"
~ Between The Pieces~
1.
While everyone continued to film and post 'Bloody Mabel' content onto their tiktoks, instagrams, twitter and other social media platforms; Theo Dimas was focused on Mabel Mora. There was no way in hell that nobody else saw this tall man attack Mabel. Yet nobody else was following the seemingly shocked woman off the subway platform.
Theo followed her up the stairways of the New York subway as she half-jogged-half-run from the spot. She made it several feet away until she paused in the middle of the sidewalk and remained like a statue. Theo approached her from behind slowly and carefully to not startled the startled young woman. Circling around her until he faced her and then he also frozen.
Pale, sweaty and shaken written on her face. Her breathing was too slow and she seemed to be in a daze. Mabel just stabbed a guy with her knitting needle for self-defense; A nightmare come true. Possibly for a second time if one were to count her probably stabbing Bunny with a knife.
Except Theo believed Mabel when she said she didn't do it. He wasn't sure how to explain it. It just…She didn't seem like someone who would murder an innocent older woman in her apartment. How the manager got into her apartment unit was a question alone, but that was not the point right now.
Theo waved his hand in front of her a few times. Would he get her attention? No, nothing. She just stood there. Theo tapped her (Maybe not the best to tap someone holding a bloody knitting needle) a few times. No. Nothing. No response. The brunette just stood still and in her own daze of shock. Well, it's fucking cold and it'll only get colder from here on out. Should he bring her back to her apartment? No. Maybe not the best idea to bring her back to the place where Bunny was stabbed with a knife and all the blame went onto Mabel.
Theo managed to get Mabel back to his place an hour later. It took some time to get her to somewhat follow him into the cab and then . This was strange, in Theo's opinion. Mabel was seemingly listening to anyone and doing anything right now in her shock state of mind. Jesus, probably good that it was Theo and not some perverted dick to have found Mabel right after her self-defense.
First thing after getting inside Theo sat Mabel on his bed. He checked her face for the hundredth time to see if she was okay. No changes in her face. Still in complete shock. Her phone kept ringing in her pocket. Charles and Oliver were checking on her. Should he reply? No, those guys will just try to make it out that Theo kidnapped Mabel and held her hostage. He tapped her again to 'wake her up' but she didn't budge.
Theo took off his own jacket and hat and then slowly assisted in helping Mabel get her white jacket off, tossing it to the side of the bed. She still didn't budge or anything. Theo went over to his kitchen to make her a glass of water and took some crackers from a cabinet. He nudged her a little and held up the water for her to take.
Nothing.
He placed the crackers in her hands.
Nothing.
Theo was going to have a long night taking care of Mabel.
He stayed in the apartment with her but he left Mabel alone for the majority of it. He checked on her every so often and continued to push the water near her as well as offer her food. Snacks or a meal. Nothing. She was stuck in her shocked state.
Eight fifteen Theo came out of the bathroom and found that Mabel had laid backwards on his bed. He peered over the woman and found that she had fallen asleep. It was a risk but Theo shifted Mabel on the bed so her head was on the pillow and covered her with one his spare jackets from the closet.
Hopefully she would sleep through the night.
