It had been maybe two months since the break up and Theo was doing no better in terms of drinking. But the boxing certainly helped whenever he started thinking about Sena. He couldn't stop, even after this long, he couldn't get her out of his mind. He still loved her, even if he hated to admit it. His phone chirped with a text one day from a number he didn't recognize.
"Hello! ^^ "
"You don't know me but I'm one of Sena's friends!"
"Name's Naomi!"
"She asked me to check up on you, I hope you don't mind C: "
"Aw but she's really depressed..."
"She worries about you all the time..."
"Never shuts up about how she misses you..."
"I just wanna help her out, y'dig?"
"Sure, whatever. Door should be unlocked. I haven't moved so Sena can tell you the address" he said before hitting his punching bag, feeling a surge of anger rush through him.
She was in his head again, her laugh, her smile. Her voice made him angrier. But he loved the sweet tones and octaves it had. Remembering their more physical activities together nearly sent him spiralling.
She was small. Very small. A white cat with black and orange spots on her ears and a bobtail. She smiled politely and bowed to him. "It's nice to meet you! I've seen you before, but goodness, I didn't realise you were much bigger up close!"
She smiled sadly, "Yeah, I've had to be her tissue for that a lot...that's not why I'm here, though. As her friend, it's my duty to do what's best for her. You're gonna wanna sit down for this." She said and gestured to the couch, "May I?"
She sat down and waited for him to sit as well. She exhaled softly, her expression serious, "Sena has been forced into a vow of silence by that...thing...she has to call a boyfriend. But she was so distraught about it that she asked me to be an ear..." She frowned, "She's been so depressed that she can't hold anything down...she had to be taken to the hospital the other day...did you know that...?"
"Nothing." She said firmly, "She hates his guts. He's dirty and disgusting and literal scum." She said. She gripped her skirt tightly, "He blackmailed her, Theo. He taped you two in the science lab and threatened to take it to the school board if she didn't dump you for him." "I can't! He'll tell the school board and then we'll get expelled!" He could remember her sobbing and begging the night she offically walked out of his life.
"She did it for you...to protect you..." Naomi said softly.
She jumped out of her skin, not really expecting him to get so angry. Well, she expected it, but didn't expect him to put a hole in the wall. "I-I don't know, I only ever see him go to her dorm...!" She stammered, "C-Calm down, please...!"
"I need his dorm room." He said. "I thank you for your informatiin, however, I was never here." He said before texting his uncle.
"I need you to say I'm on an emergency business trip starting yesterday and ending about two days from now. Have the lawyers ready incase anything happens please"
"What the fuck are you going to do, kid?" His uncle asked. Naomi was about to leave when she stopped. "Sena is still in the hospital if you wanna go see her...I think she would like that..."
