Sadie's POV
We all watched the black figure come out of the trees, and I realized it was Theo?! A tear slips down my cheek, and Alex looks at me, giving me a questioned look. "Are you okay?" Alex mouths as I watch Theo look at everyone. Theo finally looks at me, and he falls to his knees. "S-Sadie?.." He asks as I feel anger. "What do you want?!" I ask while more tears stream down my face. "I-I'm sorry." Theo says as he drops his gun. "You abandoned me, and I almost died.." I say as everyone looks at us horror stricken. "I couldn't do anything about it." Theo says as my tears start going down with a mixture of anger, sadness, and excitement. "You lied about your death." I say as Alex puts his arm around me, trying to wipe my tears away. Theo goes silent, and I stare at him like he's a coward.

Theo's POV
It wasn't my fault. I knew she loved me, but it was for her own good. I watch as my old friend's tears fall from her face. I feel guilt, and I leave the forest without a sound. "Wait!.." I heard Sadie yell as she runs up to me. "I'm sorry.." I say as I turn around, and she hugs me. I hug her never wanting to let go, and a few people in the crowd growl. (Tiffany and Alex.) "I forgive you." Sadie says as she buries her head in my chest. "You still smell like old man cologne." Sadie says as I chuckle. "I know you love it." I say as we break the hug. "Who are all these people?." I ask as she points at different people saying "Tiffany, Katelyn, Travis, Lucinda, Jeffory, DeMarkus, and Zeke. The rest of them I don't know." Sadie says as she walks back into the crowd.

Alex's POV
"Who is that?" I ask Sadie with a hint of anger in my voice. "Old friend." She says as she looks at him. "Do you like him?" I ask while she laughs under her breath. "Are you jealous?." She asks while she crosses her arms. "N-No!" I say while she rolls her eyes. "Sometimes your such a cute idoiot.." She says while she kisses my cheek. I mumble "Yes!" Under my breath, and she laughs. "Who was that?" Travis asks Sadie while he walks up to us. "Old friend." Sadie says while she glances at Theo. "Oh, well are you guys dating or..?" Travis asks while she quickly responds "No, Theo is just my friend." Theo walks up to us, and I give him a death glance. He puts his arm around Sadie, but she doesn't push it off?! I try to stay happy on the outside, but on the inside it's like a bomb exploded. Theo finally notices me, and he takes his arm off Sadie asking "Oh, I haven't met you, what's your name?.." He asks while Sadie keeps talking to Tiffany. "Alex, and Sadie is mine.." I say through gritted teeth. "Oh, I don't see a ring on her finger yet, so she's free game." Theo says as I growl. "Chill man, if you want her, just take her." Theo says as I run up to Sadie and kids her. She seems a bit off guard, but she kisses back. After a couple seconds we release, and I smirk at Theo. He growls, but I turn around, and start talking with Travis.

Tiffany's POV
Theo isn't actually that bad looking- why do I keep thinking about that?! Sadie waves her hand in front of my face, and I notice that I was staring at Theo. "Do you like Theo?" She asks excitedly. "N-No." I say as I feel my cheeks heat up. "Yeah, right.." She says as she rolls her eyes. "He's actually pretty cute, but I'm more interested in Alex.." Sadie whispers to me as Theo walks up to us. "So, who's this?" Theo asks Sadie as he grabs her hand. "Oh, I'm Tiffany." I say as Sadie winks at me. Sadie slaps Theo's hand, and she starts talking to Alex, great. Leaving me all alone with this guy. "Well Tiffany.. You're not that bad looking.." Theo says as he walks closer to me. "Oh, you're not that bad looking either." I say as I regret what I just said. Why would I ever say that?! "You wanna take a walk in the forest with me beautiful?.." He asks as I quickly say back "I kinda have more important stuff to do.." He just nods stupidly, and I watch Zeke jump from tree to tree. Zeke is pretty cute, and Theo is kinda like Travis. No offense Travis. "Hey Zeke, can I talk to you?!" I yell as he nods, and he jumps down from one of the trees. He lands right in front of me, and he asks "What do you want to talk about?.." "Follow me." I say as I grab his hand, and I lead him to a different part of the forest. I let go of his hand, and he stands right in front of me. "I wanted to ask-" I say while he kisses me. For some reason, I kissed back, and we released. "Sorry, So what did you want to talk about?." He asks while I smile and ask "How do you know Travis?.." He shakes his head, and he says "Look, I wasn't even born when my father adopted Travis, I'm probably just a little bit older than you, so sorry.." He says while I nod, and we go back to the big group of people. Zeke follows me, and the only thought that runs through my head is 'I found myself a man, I found myself a man!' We make it back to Travis, Sadie, Alex, Katelyn, Lucinda, and Jeffory, and Sadie smiles at me. She pulls me towards her, and she asks "Who is that, is he your boyfriend?!" "No, but we need to stop sitting here, and do something about Shad!" I yell while Travis' hair turns gray. Oh no.

Hey guys! That was chapter 21, what do you think?!

Katelyn: Travis, please don't do this again..

Jeffory: Oh no...

Sadie: SERIOUSLY TRAVIS, PERFECT TIMING!! 😤
