Tom whispered the dialogue under his breath as he read yet another chapter. The book was far too addicting for him to just stop. It has been exactly two weeks since he had first read the book and though he was a bit of a slow reader he managed to make a dent in the book.
But the author was brilliant, no, a genius. He loved how she managed to piece together situations that'll never happen — I mean Tom doubts that San Francisco would ever get attacked by a bunch of Cyclopes — and shared deep thoughts through them. It addressed problems he had kept deep within, issues he thought couldn't be addressed, problems he thought would be passed off as silly.
But she understand. And for some reason that was enough for him.
Theo grabbed Reyna's wrist before her hand could lay on his shoulder. He stared at her with hateful, broken eyes, not the same warm gaze that she was used to. It wasn't her fault that he was like this, it wasn't her fault that she couldn't repair the broken pieces he carried. No, it was stupid of him to think that he can carry his burden as well as her own.
"I can't do this, Reyna," he whispered brokenheartedly as he stared at his best friend. The young warrior shook his head as he paced back and forth with his arms up in the air as he tried to calm himself from losing his shit. The curly haired lead chuckled bitterly, "I can't lead them anymore, Reyna, not like this."
"Don't say that. I can't do this alone, Theo — "
"But you can Rey, and that's the difference between you and me," he argued. Theo shook his head as he tried to ignore the pained look in his best friend's eyes. He hesitantly tucked the lock of brown hair away from Reyna's face before he placed his hand on top of her head. "You don't need silly old me, I just drag you down."
"Shut up!" Reyna cried out as she pushed Theo's hand off of her head. And he's never seen such rage burn in her bright eyes, such pain held in the eyes that once held so much truth to them. And that is where Theo messed up, because Theo forgot that she was in this as well, that she was just as responsible for everything wrong that happened. And that there was no turning back on their decisions. "It's not your fault that Ethan died, okay? It's not. We couldn't have prevented and we did the best we could. We got everyone else to safety, everyone else is alive because of you!"
"But Ethan shouldn't have died! None of us should be dead because of this stupid world we're in!" Theo shouted desperately, his voice cracking halfway through his last sentence. She's never seen him cry before and it's mainly because he never allowed her to see him in such a vulnerable state, even if she is his best friend. "The gods started this problem, why do we have to clean it up?"
"Theo . . . "
"I can't lose anymore people, Rey. I can't. I don't know what I'm doing here, I don't know what my purpose is."
He closed his eyes as he tried to push the thoughts of Ethan's bloody body in his arms, or how he heard his heartbeat slow down to nothing. And nothing traumatized him more than looking into the empty, glassy eyes of Ethan, eyes that only saw pain and horror in its last moments.
But Theo slowly opened his eyes when Reyna placed her petite hands over his own. She clasped their hands together and patted the top of her hand. The best friend smiled softly as she playfully pecked his knuckle.
"That's the best part about it all. The whole reason why we're on this Earth, why we're living, why we're even here, is we're all trying to find our purpose on this Earth. We're all searching the reason why we're here together."

A/N;
This is definitely one of the longer chapters that I have written. I'm really satisfied with this, I planned out the story at this point and I now know what I want.
And the advice Reyna gave Theo is actually advice my Physical Education teacher gave me. Plot twist this is book is actually based off my life and I'm actually secretly Rosé trying to expose my crush on a guy.
Just kidding.
Dedicated to bitchilinski for the support!
Much Love Guys.
