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
Nancy packed a suitcase for Theo while he showered and got dressed. She leaves his suitcase at the bedroom door and asks him if he wants to take anything else with him. Theo shakes his head, saying no, and goes to sit next to Alex, Paul and William. Nancy joins them.- Theo, I'm glad you made the right decision. – Paul says, smiling.- I don't know if it's the right decision. If something happens to Sebastian, I won't forgive myself.- Don't be stupid Theo. With you by his side, nothing will happen. Your love is so beautiful. I would like to find a love like yours. I gave up on love a long time ago. All the men who approached me only wanted to use me. That's why I only live to photograph.- However, you didn't take photos of Theo in the last few days, and you would have had the exclusive. Why? – William asks.- I started to admire Theo. He's still young, he's been through a lot, but unlike me, he had the head to study. I will have a lot of future chances to take his picture.Theo lift
Theo opens the door to Sebastian's room and enters. Sebastian was sleeping and his sister was sitting reading.-Theo. I'm glad you came. Are you okay? - Hanna asks, softly.- I'm fine. How is he?- Sebs is fine. The doctor said he had fully recovered. Now all that's left is for his bones to recover and he'll be the same annoying person he always was.Theo smiles and approaches Sebastian's bed.Hanna goes around the bed, kisses Theo on the cheek and leaves to leave them alone.Theo looked at the calm air of a sleeping Sebastian. He loved that man more than anything in life, to the point where he was gasping for air, just because Sebastian was asleep. He sits quietly on the bed, and runs his fingers gently over his lover's face. Sebastian smiles, opens his eyes and says:- I missed you.Theo's eyes filled with tears. He wanted to lunge at Sebastian, but Sebastian's collarbone was in the way. He leans over gently and kisses him.- I've never had so much fear in my life. When I saw the ac
When Theo wakes up in the morning, he hears singing. He does the bathroom chores, gets dressed and goes in search of a pleasant voice. The song takes him to the kitchen, where a small old woman, with a happy smile, was frying strips of bacon and singing Frank Sinatra.- (…), Top of the list, King of the hill, A number one, Theeeese little town bluessss, Are melting awayyyyy, I'm gonna make a brand new start of it, In old New Yoooork, And if I can maaaake it there, I'm gonna, make it aaaaanyyyywhere, It's up to you, New York, Neeeew Yooooork, New Yooooork.Theo claps his hands and the woman is scared, juggling to hold the fork.- You scared me, child. You must be Theo. Alex sent me a message. My name is Clementine. That child doesn't even get up early with visitors.Alex enters the kitchen smiling and kisses the face of the woman much shorter than him.- Are you already saying bad things about me, Tina?- Whenever I have the opportunity, – she shamelessly says, laughing and pushing him
