Sorry it took me so long to end the story, but I really didn't know what was going to happen to Theodore, a part of me wanted to kill him in a violent death, the other part of me wanted him to have a happy life. So this is is what I came up with...
Where we left off, Theodore was in own hell on earth. Whoever said things couldn't get worse clearly didn't see Theodore's life. Remember when Theodore saw that girl, he said that he would never meet her, well...fate's a bitch, what can I say. Not only Theodore met the girl, he became friends with her which sucks because here he is trying to avoid any form of likeness (LOVE is such a strong word), ever since his heart got broken, but this girl to him was just so amazing. It was so surreal that they had so many things in common and they even have the same views of the world. But here comes the "cliche twist", she likes another guy. Sounds like a typical love story? Well, whoever said Hollywood was original, where do you think cliches come from; they came from real life story that is repeated over and over again. But in the movies, everything was simple, the guy would just tell her how he feels and the girl would miraculously fall for him. No...Theodore was not that stupid. Theodore was raised to be a thinking man, so he thought things through. He tried to imagine him and the girl together, he knew that if she was his, he would do anything in his power to make her happy, when she's sad, he would be there to lend his shoulder to cry, to make her laugh, to carry her if she has a cramp in her leg, to let her sleep in his arms when their on the way home, but all this only happen in movies and he slapped himself for imagining stupid things. But thoroughout the imagination one stood out in reality, her happiness. Theodore knew he would do anything in his power to make her happy, and the guy that made her happy the most was the guy she liked. So no matter what, his friends say no matter what his heart said, he promised himself that he would never tell her how he really feel. Basically he listened to his head and not his heart. The problem was everytime he sees her, he has the urge to tell her so again being the thinking man that he was, he made a plan. He find out the girl's timetable, studied her habits. I know right now he sound like a stalker but a stalker is a person obsessed to pursue and follow the target. Theodore was obsessed in avoiding her, because he figured if he didn't see her, hear from her, he would soon forget about her. So that was what he did, he avoid going to the canteen where she would usually go, he avoided going to the library, when she messaged him he would ignore it, when he saw her walk by he would ignore her knowing that talking to her would only bring out bad intentions. It didnt work, he found himself thinking about her even more, so he decided to push his plan further, he even stop hanging out with anybody she knew in school. Basically he threw the only friends he ever knew all to just forget about one person. He would purposely make people pissed at him so that they wouldnt hang out with him anymore, and just as he planned, people stopped contacting him and he was alone. He spent the rest of his academic life in prep school, alone. Did he regret? Of course he did but he believed that by doing this, the girl would find the happiness she was looking for and he would be able to move on. But, it didnt work, he still find himself missing her...
So one weekend, he went jogging on the highway, and just as a trailer was passing by at high speed, he jumped in front of the trailer. Theodore died that day, it wasnt a pretty sight. At his funeral, nobody turned up. Even his family was too ashamed to bury him, but there wasnt much to bury in the first place. At his burial, only the gravedigger and a priest was there to see him get buried six below the ground.
Moral of the story...well, what can I say. Theodore was in love he just didnt know it, but did he had to jump, of course not and of course most of are saying, I'm not that stupid. But you see we are all human, Theodore just had a moment of weakness, that was all he needed. I keep repeating that friends are important but it all falls on deaf ears. When someone wants to help, it's good just to let them help, anyway take it as a test of their friendship then you know where they stand in your social status. Dont push everybody out just because you know what you doing or you think that you are some kind of hero that you can do everything yourself. Because that would be impossible. Theodore decided to take everything in by himself, so he died all by himself. This may be just a story or this may be someone's biography, the line of fact and fiction is sometimes so thin that we dont see how to two can interlink....
