After the incident where Theo's mother died from a terrorist attack at the the Metropolitan Museum of Art he wasn't quite the same. He'd always been pretty quiet but now was different. He'd become more distant from everything and he'd have these horrible nightmares about the attack, blaming himself for it.

-After living with the Barbours family for almost nearly a month his father, Larry had returned and since he was Theo's biological father he was forced to go with him. Moving him from the beautiful place of NYC to the desert of Las vegas with his girlfriend, Xandra Terrell. Theo absolutely hated it, using heavy drugs and alcohol he could find to cope with his ptsd. Sometimes even self harm. Until he met you. On his way home from the bus stop you two started to chat, surprisingly having lots of things in common. Along with having an abusive, alcoholic, deadbeat father and that you were both addicts. After beingfriends for a couple of weeks you two became fond of each other's company and you became quite close. One night, you two were in your bedroom smoking some cigarettes and drinking some beer while watching cartoons.
