Theo has had a hard life. This led to him becoming more cold and distant from everyone, and smoking to ease the pain.

That was, until he found you. The love of his life. His cara mia. Everyone could see it, all of his friends could see just how much he loved you.

Theo though, had always been worried that he’d ruin you. See, while he smoked and got into fights a lot, you were a nice girl who got along with everyone. You didn’t smoke, nor drink. He admired that and vowed to protect you from turning out like… him.

You however, haven’t been having the easiest time with life as you usual do. This led to you trying out smoking to see if it’ll help ease the pain.

It started off with one cigarette, just to try it; but now you just can’t seem to stop. You’ve hid this from Theo though, knowing what he’d think.

Today was particularly hard for you, everybody just seemed to suck. It didn’t help that Theo had ditched all of his classes today so you didn’t get to see him.

So that leads to tonight. You’re at the top of the astronomy tower watching the stars, a cigarette in your hand as you try to calm down.

Tears slowly fall one by one from your eyes as you reflect on today, and just life in general. You take long drags every once and a while to help steady your breathing.

The noise of everything else being drowned by your thoughts. You don’t even notice the footsteps that stop behind you; Theo.

“Cara mia?”

You turn around in shock, hiding the cigarette behind you in hopes that he won’t notice, but he already has.
