William is at Theo's door at 7:20 am. He hadn't even taken a bath and had dressed in the first thing he'd picked up. He knocks on Theo's door, and hears nothing.He knocks on the door harder, not caring if he wakes up any students in the apartments next door.A shuffling noise is heard, and a few seconds later, Theo opens the door.What William sees in front of him makes him immediately realize that Theo already knew what had happened. In front of him was a boy who seemed to have aged 10 years, red and puffy eyes from which tears fell like rivers, a body that shuddered with each sob, a pajama that looked more like something out of a cat fight.When Theo looks at William, he drops to his knees.William did not open his mouth. He puts his hands under Theo's armpits and forces him off the ground. Closing the door, he drags Theo to the couch, sits down beside him and lets him fall against his chest, soaking his thin shirt.After a few minutes, W
- Hello, I'm Theodore Hanson, Sebastian's boyfriend.- I know - she says hugging him.- Hanna – Chaterine says, calling her daughter as she advances towards her, followed by the other 3.- Ignore my mother. She has no notion of the reality of life. - Hanna says, softly into Theo's ear.- Boy, Theodore, what are you doing here? - Chaterine coldly asks Theo.- Mom, if you don't have anything useful to say, keep quiet, says Hanna angrily.- Don't talk to me in that tone, girl.Theo doesn't answer, and returns to the position he had before.- He doesn't do anything here. He is not family. By the way, none of you are family - she says, stretching her finger and pointing to Alex, William and Nancy.Alex frowns and pulls on the straps for the first time in a long time.- Mrs. Jones, please close your clapper and sit down, if you don't want me to use my family's influence to stop you from entering the stores that yo
Theo wakes up in a hospital bed and doesn't remember how he got there. They had put an IV in his arm and let him rest. When straining his memory he remembers what the doctor said, his eyes filled with tears.Nancy opens the bedroom door slowly, so as not to wake Theo, and when she sees him sitting on the bed crying, she runs to hug him.- Theo, Sebastiam needs you strongly. If you stay in that state, he doesn't feel your strength pulling him back to life.- Nancy, I'm going to lose him. I just found him and I'm going to lose him.- He's not going anywhere. Stop crying - she says, grabbing him by the shoulders. - I'll call the doctor. You will rise up from this bed and you will be strong. For you and for him. I know that you are very young, but I also know that you are capable.Theo nods and Nancy leaves the room for a moment, returning with a nurse and the doctor.- How are you feeling boy? You scared me a lot. – the surgeon says.He decided to stay and assist Theo.- I'm fine - Theo
When William arrives the next morning, he's not surprised that Theo wanted to go to Cornell with him and Nancy.He says goodbye to Sebastian, and then says goodbye to Alex and Hanna, who promise to give them news as they get it.The return journey was made in silence, and when displeased, William left Theo at home, it was already lunch time.Theo goes up to the apartment, goes in and undresses. It goes underwater and begins to cry compulsively, releasing sobs and screams of pain and frustration. He sits on the floor and lets the hot water fall over him.After more time than he could imagine, he gets out of the shower and turns off the water. Without drying his body, he puts on some underwear and lies on his back on the bed looking at the ceiling.He hadn't slept the night before. He'd spent time watching Sebastian, but he hadn't gotten a shred of sleep.He stood in that position, illuminated by the sunlight that entered through the window, a
It had been 8 days since the accident and it was Friday night again. Alex sent a message every day, in the morning and at evening, informing him of Sebastian's status, which was always the same. Theo's answer was also always the same; silence. Alex knew that he had read the W******p messages because they appeared read. He also received news from William that Theo continued to go to school and training and then shut himself up at home, as if he were a zombie.They were both worried about him, but the only thing they could do was wait for Sebastian to wake up.Theo had come into the house as soon as school was over. Everyone who knew him thought he looked strange. The coach gave him a lecture because he thought he'd been eating badly and losing strength, including, in the next game, he was going to be on the bench. The only two friends he had couldn't get him to go out for a simple coffee. Nancy and William couldn't even get him to come over to the house to eat. He wasn't doing anything
The paparazzi rush to the motorbike, but don't know whether to follow the ambulance or go to William's house. He makes a decision and, after starting the bike, he only stops when he arrives at the door of Sebastiam's former dean.He slams the door and William opens it. As soon as William sees him, the first thing he thinks is to close the door, but something on the boy's face makes him hesitate.- Sorry to bother you, but Theo is in the hospital.- What happened? - William asks.- He tried to kill himself.- What? - Shouts Nancy, opening the door fully.- Theo cut his wrist, and I think he took pills too.- How do you know all this?- I found it strange that he came into the house and didn't turn on the light, as he always does. After a long time, I couldn't stand it. I entered the building and went to knock on the door. He didn't answer, so as the door wasn't locked, I went in and saw him lying on the floor, losing blood from his wrist and unconscious. I called an ambulance. When the
Theo stays in the hospital for a day. The doctors wanted to see how he reacted, and left him discharged, but because he agreed to go to William's house for a few days.He lay in bed, discouraged, and no matter how much people tried to cheer him up, it seemed like nothing would work. He missed the game, and the coach was furious. The strategy was made with him in mind, but the coach goes to visit Theo at William's house, more concerned about his health than the game.- Don't worry about the game, boy. We won. The important thing is that you get better soon. I need you on the team.Theo waves and the coach ends up giving up and leaving the room. He sat on William's couch and shook his head. He wouldn't have been able to make Theo react. The boy was not well.- If Sebastian doesn't wake up quickly, I don't know what will happen. –William says. - Looks like this poor guy doesn't get a day off.- How is Sebastian? - the coach asked.- The same. The doctors say they don't know why he won't
Alex uses the GPS to Cornell and William's house. He had been waiting for him but hadn't said anything to Theo.- Welcome Alex, how is Sebastian?- Thank God, he's finally awake. Apart from the bones, it's fine. And Theo?- Physically, recovering well. Mentally, a wreck.There's a knock at the door, and William frowns.- Did you bring anyone else?- No. - Alex replies.William goes to the door and sees the boy who had saved Theo.- Sorry to bother you, I wanted to know how Theo is doing.Alex sees the camera and goes crazy.- Get out of here. There are no photos or comments for you here. Out.William has to hold Alex, who wants to throw himself at the boy. Theo, who hears the screams, appears, peeking at the bedroom door. He had a pitiful appearance, red and puffy eyes, big circles under it, disheveled hair, and scruffy pajamas.He looks at Alex in astonishment. What was he doing there?- Alex?- Theo, how are you? - Alex asks, still held by William.- I'm sorry, my name is Paul. Can
