You guys, I've been working on this chapter for a long time. I felt like I couldn't get it right! Honestly, if you went on my google docs page, there is multiple versions of this chapter. However, I think this one is the best.
In honor of MLK, I wanted to say something about Camila. I felt like there needed to be a splash of color in the FSOG trilogy, at least in the Fanfiction community. I know, some of y'all are probably like "no there doesn't" however, when you are of color, it's cool to see someone who represents you in something that you love. (If there are stories out there like that, let me know because I have not seen it.) So, I wanted to add Camila. While she is half Hispanic, because I wanted the family to have a connection with her some how and Jose seemed like the easiest answer, she is half black. I'm hoping that my black people who also enjoy FSOG will enjoy Camila.
It's obvious if you watch the news, there are still people out there who are racist and don't approve of different ethnicity being in love. I'm hoping that people don't click off my story just because of that, but if they do then that's on them. But for the people who don't care about stuff like that, you're the real one!
Love is Love. I don't care if someone is the same sex, a different color, or a different religion.
With that being said, lets get on with the chapter. I don't know if I said this on the first chapter, but it's important to pay attention to the dates and the years.
I do not own the Fifty Shades of Grey Trilogy, I do own Camila and other OC's
Late Thursday Night in November of 2017
Theodore sighed heavily as he stood at his register. The time was going by so slow. It was 5:25 which means he had four more hours in this hell hole.
Ana made Teddy get a job because she wanted him to have a sense of responsibility. She wanted him to know what it was like to work for a living; she even cut his allowance in half, as well as making him pay his portion of the cell phone bill.
He stuffed his hands in his pockets and looking at the empty lobby. It was Thursday night, not a lot of people were going to come to the movies tonight. Especially with school the next day. He was grateful to high school; he got off at ten because of it.
"There is bae," Kyle said one of Teddy's coworkers. Kyles dreads were up in a ponytail as stood next to Teddy. Teddy grinned looking up.
Another reason he got his job here, was that Camilia worked here. She walked in with her purse looking at down. She looked a bit sad; Teddy wondered what was wrong. She wore here uniform beautifully. Her royal blue shirt had a black long sleeve shirt under it to shield her from the early winter breeze. Her hair was pulled into a ponytail, letting her curls bounce as she walked. Teddy walked to the back to meet her there. She walked in and almost bumped into Teddy.
Her day just wasn't going well and quite frankly she didn't want to here today. She looked up and made eye contact with Teddy. She forgot he worked today. Her bottom lip quivered as Teddy asked: "what's wrong?" Teddy blinked and pulled her to where she could clock in.
"Baby?" He asked, and she hugged him crying into his chest. It broke his heart to see her so sad.
"Camila, why are you crying?"
"My day just hasn't been going well." She hiccupped and hugged him close. He hugged her back and rested his chin on her head. He rubbed her back and sighed softly.
"Here, clock in so you're not late and I'll walk you to the break room." He said.
"No, it's ok," she pulled back and rubbed her eyes with a pout. Teddy held her waist looking down at her. "I'll be ok." Teddy leaned forward and kissed her tears.
"Well ok...do you want me to fill your Tumblr with blue icee?" He asked. She pouts stomping her foot a bit.
"I forgot that too." Teddy chuckled.
"You're so cute," He said as she grunts and wiggles. "And so loveable." He said holding her close again. "I'll empty mine and put blue in there. We can just share it."
"Are you sure?" She looked up at him only for him to attach his lips to hers. He pulled her close and rested his head on her forehead. She blushed and looked into his eyes.
"Of course, Love." He said and was about to kiss her again when they heard the buttons on the door being pressed. He let her go, and Camila pulled away. Teddy grabbed his Tumblr as Brianna walked in.
"Camila, girl what's wrong?" She asked walking to Camila.
"I just failed my test today. I'll be ok." She giggled as Brianna hugged her. She looked at Teddy who winked at her. She blushed brightly.
Walking out to go fill his Tumblr up. Typically, he wouldn't pull away from her like that, only a select few knew about their relationship at work. He some managers didn't like it if employees dated. He was saddened that Camila was upset though. To cheer her up he texted William on his Apple Watch and told him to get two orders of chicken Alfredo as well as two vanilla cokes. As Teddy walked into the back to put his Tumblr up, Camila walked in. He wanted to kiss her lips, every time she cried her lips because even softer and it was something teddy found attractive. However, with Brianna clinging to his girlfriend's arm, Teddy couldn't do much, but watch as they went behind concession. Stuffing his hands into his jacket pockets, he walked out as well, watching Camila as she counted her money. He looked away when he noticed the new girl walking to him. Penelope. She had long black hair that went to her back and was at least a size 5. Way smaller than Camila. Today was already wrong, and now she had to deal with her insecurities too.
Camila was curvier than Penelope. Especially in her hips and thighs. Although Teddy seemed to like it, she couldn't help but to look at Penelope and wished she looked that good.
"Hi, Teddy." She said. Of course, telling her many times before that only people he was close to could call him Teddy, he decided to ignore her. Penelope rolled her eyes.
"Hi, Theo." She said.
"Oh hey. I didn't see you there." He said looking at her. Though Penelope was pretty, he didn't have the attraction, nor did he feel a physical pull toward her, like he did with Camila.
"You're a jerk, you know I was talking to you." She slapped his arm. He sighed.
"I told you before only certain people are allowed to call me Teddy. It makes me sound soft, and I'm not soft." He said.
"Whatever, Camila called you Teddy." She said.
"I've known Camila since I was a kid. I've known you for about three seconds." He leaned on the counter. Camila closed her drawer and went to stand next to Teddy. He looked at her and placed a hand on her head
"Short stuff." He teased.
"Giraffe." She argued and bumped him with her hip. He grinned at her. He was about to say something when a customer came up wanted a refill on popcorn.
"Sure," Camila said taking the tub.
"Thank you, ma'am." The guy said. He was a hit overweight but seemed cheerful.
"What movie are you seeing?" Teddy asked curiously, also to get out of a conversation with Penelope as she looked like she was going to speak. She rolled her eyes and smirked. She then went to help a different customer.
"Thor Ragnarok, it's so funny. Have you seen it yet?"
"No, but my girlfriend wants to see it, so we'll probably come tomorrow or something." He said as Camila walked over. "Isn't that right? Camila?" He asked looking at her. She blushed.
"Yes…" Teddy chuckled with the man as she stared at them innocently.
"Well, y'all have a great time at the movies." He said and left.
"What did you tell him." Camila slapped his arm.
"That my girlfriend and I are going to the movies tomorrow." He said tapping her nose.
"I wonder who that is." She blushed brightly.
"I think you know her. She's beautiful, funny, somewhat sarcastic at times but it's ok. She has smooth light brown skin, big brown eyes...I could go on about how sexy her body is, but I also think her heart is golden." I say. She smiled and slapped my arm playfully. Unlike with Penelope, he enjoyed it.
"Shut up." She giggled.
"It's true." He grinned.
Camila smiled and went back to her register as a line started forming
Ten minutes of a nonstopping line, finally Camila could go in the back and drink Some of their slurpy.
"Isn't that Teddy's drink?" Penelope asked walking back. Camila sighed.
"We're sharing; I left mine at home." She said and continued drinking.
"Hmm. Well just know I plan to ask Teddy out soon. So, all this is going to stop." She said flipping her ponytail over her shoulder. Camila resisted the urge to laugh.
"Oh really?" She asked.
"Yes really." She glared at Camila as Teddy walked back.
"Don't drink it all." He mumbled and took the drink from Camila.
"Hey!" She pouted as Teddy put the straw in his mouth, not minding her lip gloss. Camila sighed.
"Fine, take the drink, I hope you enjoy the strawberry lip gloss." She said, and Teddy grinned. Showing off his pearly whites as he bites the metal straw. It was the best lip gloss taste to him. She blushed and went out the cones stood door to her register. Teddy continued to drink in silence. Usually, the only person he talked to at work was Kyle when Camila wasn't here. Penelope looked at him and smiled. She was about to speak when a manager, Tyler, came back. He was a young guy, probably 21. He had a low-cut fade and chocolate brown skin.
"What's up Theo, hey Penelope." He said clocking in.
"Hey, Ty," Theo said. Penelope nodded at him. Teddy put the drink down and smiled.
"Can me and Cami go on break together?" Teddy asked.
"Yeah, it hasn't been super busy has it?"
"Just Thor," Teddy said. Ty nodded. Penelope frowned and walked between the two males hoping Teddy would watch her. As she went to the concession. However, he just rolled his eyes.
"Is she mad?"
"Mad I don't give her attention," Teddy said and sighed.
"You got hoes," Ty said. Teddy laugh.
"And I want them to leave me alone! I already have a girlfriend."
"Speaking of which, is she working today?" Ty asked, knowing about Cami.
"Yeah, she's out there," Teddy said smiling.
"Alright, I'll talk to Claire." He said, and he left.
(break)
"I don't like Claire," Daryl, an usher, said as he walked over. You would think Teddy would complain more than anyone here, but nope. Daryl beat everyone.
"She's always making me do the dumb stuff. I don't ever get a 'Thank you.'" He said leaning on Camila's countertop. Teddy was just standing next to her, playing with rubber bands. Teddy made a face, listening to what Daryl said.
"I mean. But it's your job. Why would you expect a Thank you?" Camila asked, curiously. It didn't make sense to her. I mean she understood that 'thank you' would be nice, but when it's in your job description, it's more expected of you to do it.
"I don't know. I just figured." He said. Camila nodded.
"I am ready for my break," she said stretching. Teddy almost chopped Daryl in the throat when he saw him check her out. Theodore clenched his jaw when she relaxed.
"Same, I brought ham in for lunch. I love ham sandwiches."
"Oh, that's cool, I don't really like ham, but I heard it's good."
"Yeah, ham isn't that good. But you know I eat it cause my mom makes them for me." Daryl said. Teddy looked up, his eyebrows together in confusion.
"Oh, well that's cool," Camila said. "Anyways, Claire has never gotten in my face about anything, so I don't mind her," Camila said.
"Yeah I mean she's ok." He said. Teddy looked at him. He's a freaking 'yes' man. He leaned on the register to test out his plan.
"Daryl, do you like Chinese food?" Teddy asked.
"Not really, I went to an Asian buffet one time, and I didn't like it." He said. Teddy nodded.
"Camila, do you like Chinese food?"
"Teddy, you know I like Chinese food." She said.
"Yeah, I mean when it's cooked right it's ok. Like you must find the right place that makes it. That Asian buffet, that's downtown, sucks."
"Kings Place? I love it there. You must have gone on a bad day or something." Camila said.
"I mean I liked it." He said. Camila smiled awkwardly as Teddy chuckled softly.
"Daryl, you're funny." He said. Camila looked at Teddy.
"Tomorrow after school I want to go to hobby lobby." She said. Teddy nodded.
"Ok, what are you gonna get?"
"Some watercolors colored pencils."
"Ohh, that sounds cool, you like to draw?" Daryl asked. Camila nodded.
"Yeah, I like drawing anime stuff, but I'm learning how to draw realistic." She said.
"But anime style is cool, and you can do anything with it. It's my favorite."
"Yeah, I agree. But I think realistic drawing it more relaxing so I'm starting to like it a little bit more."
"Realistic is better than anime, to be honest. It requires more effort." He nodded. Teddy laughed and stood straight.
"I'm gonna go get something to drink." He said and walked off.
"I don't like him either," Daryl said. Camila frowned. What was wrong with her Teddy?
"Why?"
"I feel like he's here just to make fun of us. Like his dad is rich, why should he be working?"
"Why shouldn't he be working. It's his dad's money, not his." Camila argued.
"Yeah but still. The managers like him more and never make him take out the trash. Do you like him?"
"Yes, to be honest, I do. He may not take out the trash, but that's not his job. His job is to give people popcorn. The usher's job is to take out the trash." She said crossing her arms. Daryl frowned.
"Well that's true, and he's not that bad, but you know how the little things just bother you." He said. Teddy cane back stretching. Like Daryl did to her, she looked over Teddy's body. She thought Teddy was so handsome.
Daryl noticed and poured. He was cute too, why did all the girls like Theo? It had to be his money. He decided before leaving to go back to his station.
(break)
"Theo, Camila, you guys go on break together. Kill two birds with one stone." Ty said after the other concessionist came back. Teddy grinned and nodded.
"Thanks, bro," Teddy said happily. Camila smiled softly and walked out the concession door to go in the back. Then she remembered she forgot to bring food. She cursed to herself.
"Dear Lord, please give me strength." She prayed softly, and she closed her eyes. Tears threatened to come out when Teddy walked behind her and kissed her neck gently.
"Ready to eat, baby?" He asked gently.
"I forgot my food." She said pouting.
"We'll share mine." He said with a smirk, slightly happy she forgot hers. William, with Ty's permission, let the CPO put their food in the break room.
"I don't want to take away from your food Teddy." She said clocking out after him.
"It's fine, I promise." He said and opened the back door for her. The break room was on the other side of the theater. Although Camila just wanted to hold Teddy's hand for comfort, she resisted as they walked side by side in the halls. They approached the usher stand. Daryl looked and frowned at the sight of both of them.
"Are Y'all off?" He asked.
"We're on break," Teddy answered as they passed him. 'Mind your business.' Teddy said in his head.
"Together?" He asked confused.
"Yup," Camila said. They continue to the break room as Daryl watched unimpressed.
Once in the break room, Teddy hugged Camila close and kissed her with all his might. She blushed brightly, but kissed back, putting her arms around his neck.
"I'm sorry you're having a bad day baby, but maybe this will cheer you up." He said and went to fridge. Camila stood with a pink blush on her light brown cheeks and big brown eyes. Teddy pulled out the two takeout boxes of chicken alfredo. Camila's eyes widened, and she grinned.
"Oh, Teddy!" She threw herself into his arms hugging him close. She giggled but wept softly. Holding the boxes as he held her close, Teddy smiled.
"Don't be sad any more mi amor. When you're sad, I'm sad. I love you so much." He said gently looking down at her. His hands rested on the top of where her apple bottom started, to help him hold up the boxes. At the moment, Camila didn't care that he was slightly touching her butt. She was just happy that Teddy was with her.
"I love you too Teddy." She said and kissed him happily.
(break)
After a fulfilling meal, Teddy and Camila were walking out of the breakroom, after much kissing in private. Camila was a bit flushed, and Teddy didn't notice his lips were stained a bit pink. However, neither of them cared. Camila was happy at the moment, and Teddy felt as though he could fly.
"Wow, it got cold," Camila said as they walked in the lobby of the theater. She rubbed her arms gently. They had five minutes of break left and was using it to chat while walking back to the concession.
"Oh here," Teddy said taking his name tag off his jacket. The two paused in front of the concession stand. He then shrugged off his coat and draped it over her shoulders. She blushed, looking up at him. He wore a long-sleeved shirt under is the work shirt, so he was still pretty warm.
"Thank you, Theodore." She said gently and pushed her arms through. She smiled up brightly at him as she wiggled her arms like she usually did when he gave her his jacket, to show that her hands disappear. He laughed softly, putting his name tag on his shirt.
"You're adorable." He said patting her head gently. She giggled happily, and the two walked back into the concession to finish the day off, not noticing the happy looks of a couple of their coworkers.
Late Friday Night in November of 2017
Camila hummed softly as she straightened the last of her curly mane. After a long day of disappointments, the previous day, she was happy to finally be able to relax and go on a date with her Teddy Bear. She was sitting in her bed, wearing a green robe as she pulled her hair in a bun. She loved when she straightened her hair because you could see how hard she worked in growing her natural hair out. When straightened, it was in the middle of her back.
Next part of her date look was makeup. She loved doing her makeup, it was a skill that she always admired. When she became the age, she could wear the beauty products; she learned how to do it all, from eyeshadow to contouring. Although it was tricky at first, she got the hang of it. She decided for her look to be tamer. With her natural setting foundation, a gold glowy halo eye and light contouring, she thought she looked beautiful. It was something about makeup that made her feel like a princess. She added a little highlight to the tip of her nose and the bridge, then a natural color lip for her skin tone. She put in her earrings on then got up. She dropped her robe and went to get her strapless push-up bra and panties. While she had hips and an apple bottom, she lacked a bit in the breast department. She thought they were the right size for her figure, but for date night, they could use a little oomph.
Once her undergarments were on, she put in her skinny black jeans, black heeled ankle boots and a black off-shoulder shirt. She stood in the mirror debating if she wore too much black. However, she didn't have time when the doorbell rang.
"Oh shoot!" She said, she grabbed her gift for Teddy and put it in her back pocket, then ran downstairs to open the door.
"Hi." Camila smiled up at her boyfriend as she opened the door. Teddy wore ripped dark washed jeans with a long sleeved white shirt covered by a dark brown jacket. He wore boots as well.
"You look so beautiful." He said and kissed her lips with love.
"Thank you, Teddy. Come in, it's cold, and we have an hour to spare." She said opening the door wider. He smiled and walked into the warmth of her house.
"Are your parents and brother still gone?" He asked taking his shoes off at the door. She nodded watching him.
"Want some soda?" She asked walking towards the kitchen. Teddy followed happily.
"Uh, do you have water? I'm gonna get a glass of soda at the movies, so I don't want to do it over today." He said. He was training hard to get a scholarship to play ball.
"Ok, Mr. Healthy." She said and got a water bottle from the fridge. He sat at the bar as Camelia's cat, Benjamin, jumped up to the bar and looked at Teddy. He was an orange striped cat with piercing green eyes. He was super cuddly.
"Hi, Benji." Teddy brought the cat into his arms and held him gently. Benji meowed and purred as Teddy petted him gently. Camila giggled softly and put the bottle of water in front of Teddy. He boyfriend grinned a goofy grin at her.
"I'm excited to watch Thor. I think it's gonna be pretty funny." He said.
"Same, I'll buy the tickets, and you can buy the snacks."
"Ma'am, who do you think I am? I'd never let you spend your money on me." He said. Camila giggled and pulled a little box out her back pocket.
"Too late." She grinned. Teddy blushed slightly and looked at it.
"What's this for?" He asked softly.
"Well, you're always giving me flowers, so I wanted to give you something in return." She smiled softly.
"Baby." He took in, Benji jumped out his arms and left the two. He opened it, and there was a dark blue beaded bracelet. He smiled and looked up at Camila.
"I got one too, I wanted us to match, but I didn't know if I should get necklaces or not. They were girly so- "She was cut off by his lips. She leaned into him blushing.
"It's perfect baby. Thank you." He grinned. "can your clip it on for me?" He asked with a smile. She nodded and did as he asked. He looked at his wrist and twisted it.
"I feel like I have to use this hand more." He said as he talked with his hands. Camila laughed and hugged him gently.
"I love you!" She said
(break)
The couple had William take them to the movies. As Camila wanted, she paid for the movie tickets. Not caring that they were at their job, Camila held Teddy's hand happy as the stood in the concession line. It's not like they could get fired for dating. However, they usually didn't show affection when they came to the movies together. This time, Teddy wanted everyone to know that Camila was his, especially Daryl.
"Teddy PDA," Camila said as he wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her to him. He smirked.
"So? Am I not allowed to hug my girlfriend?" He asked and leaned down to kiss her lips gently. She blushed and kissed him back.
"Yes, you are, but we're at work." She gave him a look.
"But we're not in uniform." He argued and moved forward with her in his arms.
"So, the coworkers." She said.
"Baby, the only people who would possibly get upset is Penelope and Daryl, and honestly, I could care less about them." He said seriously. She looked over and saw Penelope glaring at them while Dana and Quinn, another coworker, was grinning at them. She looked back at Teddy and looked determined. Grabbing his face, Camila brought his lips to hers. His eyes widened slightly as she kissed him eagerly. Teddy started kissing her back though smiling. He stood up when she pulled back.
"Wow, Miss Shy gots a bit of fire in her." He said as she fake glared at him
"Shut up." She giggled and stood in front of him. He wrapped his arms around her and waited for them to get called up.
They went to Dana who squealed happily looking at them.
"I knew Y'all were dating! You two are so cute together." She said as Camila giggled. Teddy held her hand and looked around thinking of what he wanted.
"Can I have a large Cherry icee...and nachos!" Camila smiled happily.
"Extra cheese too cause she'll eat it all," Teddy said. Camila blushed and grabbed a Twix candy from the candy rack.
"And what did you want Theo?"
"A medium coke and a medium popcorn." He said and scanned his work card, so he'd get the half-priced discount.
"Can we get a large popcorn?" Camila said looking up at him, leaning against his arm. Not being able to handle her cuteness, Teddy looked at Dana.
"Can you make that a large." Dana giggled.
"Alright, that's gonna be $15.75." Teddy stuck his chipped card in the machine.
"Thank you, Teddy." Camila took her icee happily when Quinn gave it to her. When they got the rest of their food, they went to provide Daryl with their tickets.
"Hi, Camila." He said giving her puppy eyes. Camila sighed to herself but smiled.
"Hi, Daryl." She replied and gave him the tickets. "Baby, can you get the tickets." She looked at Teddy. Teddy smirked and nodded. Daryl frowned.
"Wait, y'all are on a date?"
"Yeah," Teddy said taking the ripped tickets. "We've been dating for a while." Teddy gave Daryl a look. Then went to Camila. They went to their theater without another problem.
January 2018
Camila opened the door for Teddy as he walked in the theater with his crutches. He sighed, he quit the movies after the accident, he couldn't walk around, so he figured there was no reason to keep working. The managers were willing to put him in the box office to sell tickets, but he refused.
"Thanks, Cami." He said softly. She smiled up at him.
"Of course." She smiled, and they went in the concession line. He sighed and shifted. Camila turned to look at him.
"Are you ok?" She asked cupping his cheek gently.
"These hurt my armpits." He said about his crutches. She frowned and rubbed his side gently.
"Do you want to lean against me?"
"No, I don't want to lean against you, Camila." He said closing his eyes. "Just stand in line, I'll go sit on that bench." He mumbled. Camila held her tear back and nodded watching him move away. She looked down.
His missing leg had put a strain on their relationship. While she still loved him, and didn't mind his condition, he had a problem with her always trying to help him. Teddy hated needing someone to help him. Christian want William always to be present, but when Theo threw a horrible Christian Grey size tantrum, the idea was put to rest. Teddy's family wanted him to go to therapy, other than physical therapy, but he flat out refused.
Camila held her head down and wiped the tears that escaped her eyes thinking about how much Teddy must be hurting. Not just on the outside, but the inside. All his career dreams were ruined, he felt useless. Camila knew it wasn't true though. She just didn't want him to overwork himself.
Just as Teddy sat down, Camila was next in line. He growled and stood up again. He walked over as she walked to a register. Penelope gasped.
"Oh, my gosh, Theo! How are you? I heard about the accident." She said.
"I'm fine." He said politely.
"Is that why you're not on the schedule anymore?"
"Yup, but it's ok." He said. Camila sighed, Penelope still had a crush on Teddy, and it annoyed her.
"Can I have a large icee please."
"You're not gonna get nachos?" Teddy asked.
"Are you getting popcorn?" She asked.
"Yes." Teddy nodded.
"Then no, I'll just eat the popcorn." She said softly, looking away from him.
"If you want the nachos just get it," Teddy said. "With extra cheese."
"No Teddy, I can't carry all that. It's ok just the large icee, medium coke, and Large popcorn." Camila said. Teddy glared at Camila.
"WE can carry it. I'll just move my crunch to my left side. Stop being difficult." He stated.
"Theodore, it's ok. I'm not even that hungry." She said.
"Then I want the fucking nachos." He stated. Camila felt taken back. "Penelope, can I have nachos with extra cheese please." He said in a gentler tone. Camila glared. How dare he talk to her as if she's the villain, then speak to Penelope like that. She crossed her arms over Teddy's mood.
"Then I don't want the icee. I don't want any of it. I want to go home." She said.
"Camila stop being- "Theo started but then gasped as she walked off. Theo sighed heavily. Then followed her. She walked out and started walking towards the mall where she could get home quicker.
"Camila, where are you going?" Teddy asked trying to catch up with her. She ignored him and kept walking. William got out the SUV and ran over.
"Camila, Theo, where are y'all going?" He asked.
"I don't know she won't stop." He said. "She won't listen to me- "
"Shut up Theodore." She stopped and turned to glare at him. He glared back.
"What now Camila?" He asked, and she scoffed.
"Are you kidding me? Are you a dumb ass?" She asked raising her voice.
"No, but you're acting like an ass! I didn't do anything!" Teddy raised his voice back. Camila balled her fist ups.
"I'm an ass! Are you fucking kidding me right now! All I'm trying to do is help you!"
"By being annoying. I don't need help; I'm fine!" He yelled back. She glared.
"I'm annoying? Fine, how about I leave you alone for good. Have fun not having a girlfriend who does everything to make sure you feel great." she hissed at him. Teddy's eyes widen feeling as though he'd been slapped. Instead of trying to fix it, he said the meanest thing he could think of at the moment.
"I haven't been feeling great for the longest time. Not at church. Not at home and not in your company. So, if your job was supposed to make me feel 'great,' then you sure sucked at it." He spat. She took a step back. Taking in what he said to her. She imagined if she were playing the Sims, the love meter would have gone all the way down to red instead of the pink that indicated love.
"...I actually…. dislike you." She said started. Teddy swallowed and blinked multiple times.
"Camila…"
"No. I'm done. I can't do this. I thought," she crossed her arms. "I thought me being with you would help. But your negativity right now," she motions towards all of him. "is toxic." She said her voice was cracking. "I'm not going to keep having arguments day after day just because your pride won't let me help you. So, I'm breaking up with you." She stated seriously. Teddy looked down as he felt his heart crush.
"No, I'm sorry. I didn't mean it." He said looking back up at her with tears in his eyes. He suddenly felt lost.
"But you did Theo." She shrugged. "And honestly, it's true. You're depressed, you're angry, and you're confused. You haven't laughed or smiled in a long time. Not even at Christmas or New Years. You need to find happiness for yourself, Theo. I don't hate you, but if we stay together right now. I will. I don't want to hate you."
"Please don't leave me…" he said thinking of all the good times they had together. Her scent, her presence, she was his everything. Why was he this way towards her? "I'll do better." He said.
"I know, but it will be without me." She said.
"So, you're just going to give up on me then?" He growled.
"I'm not giving up on you. I'm giving you a chance to be happy again."
"I knew it. You think I'm disgusting without my left leg, don't you?" She sighed, her face defaulting. He didn't understand her.
"I'm calling an Uber." She said and turned to walk away. She covered her ears as she started to hear Teddy, no the devil inside her Teddy, yell at her. Tears streamed down her face as she felt a wave sorrow go through her. She picked up her pace until she was sprinting to the mall away from him.
"Fine! Leave, I don't care! I don't need you!" Teddy yelled angrily. He then threw his crutch down in her direction then wobbled and fell.
"Theo!" William said and went to him.
"Leave me alone!" Theo yelled at William, glaring at him as tears rolled down his face. He was breathing heavily, not able to catch his breath.
"Theo breathe...breathe." William crouched down. Teddy closed his eyes tightly as he felt his body get hot. He could hear the crashing of the car flipping over; he could feel the pain in his leg, he could hear Camila breaking up with him. It was all too much. He hated the feeling. His heart felt like it was crushing repetitively. He couldn't breathe! He let out a strange noise as he grabbed his throat trying to get air into his lungs.
"Theodore, you're ok, breathe. Listen to me breathing, breathe. Deep breaths." William said, calming his voice. He grabbed the teens hands and put it on his chest, so Teddy could feel his chest moving to the breaths he was taking in. The manager, Claire came out and called 9-1-1 when she saw Teddy on the ground having a full-on panic attack.
"You're ok Teddy." He said softly. Teddy took in a big breath of air and let it out, trying to calm down.
"There you go, Teddy. You go it." William said, his eyes watery as Teddy started breathing heavily, beginning to calm down. Teddy leaned against William as he wheezed. Theo suddenly felt very tired. He opened his eyes a bit to look up at the teary-eyed William.
Teddy felt nothing but sadness.
'Camilia, come back…'
Not gonna lie, when I was writing this, I kinda cried. Or at least my eyes got watery. I'm looking forward to Teddy's growth and I hope you guys are too! As I've said on my last chapter I have multiple social media accounts that you guys can check me out on.
