Later that night, after Theo had worked his last shift as the dishwasher at the Country Club, he sat out on the bench reflecting on how his life would soon change. As he sat there, he didn’t realize that Teagan Rivers had walked up upon him…over the past months, they had somewhat formed a friendship with one another..
TEAGAN- “You look as though you lost your best friend, Theo…”
THEO- “I have actually. But what about you, you’ve been extremely quiet lately. What’s up with you?”
TEAGAN- “It seems as though I’ve lost all my friends, but that’s okay, they weren’t my friends after all.
THEO- “Sorry, that’s tough.”
TEAGAN- “Yeah, but I will be fine. I wish I could just move away from here too. You are lucky Theo Gray. You get to leave this place and start over.”
THEO- “I suppose. But listen Teagen, it may seem like things are terrible right now, but it will get better. And you haven’t lost all your friends. I think of you as my friend, I hope you think the same towards me.”
TEAGAN- “You are okay, Theo, you seem like a great guy, but you are leaving. I’m still here. Found out today that my father is going to be a daddy again. Some woman he has known for years had a one night stand while he was at a conference a few months ago, and now she is pregnant. My mother is divorcing him to marry this guy she barely knows, and me…well let’s just say I made a mistake about trusting a guy.”
THEO- “I’m really sorry Teagan, I wish I could help you…but I am sure if you ever need to get away, my Aunt would let you come and stay a while, maybe this summer?”
TEAGAN- “Running away isn’t the answer. I just need to work through it, but maybe. Thanks for the invitation. You keep in touch Theo. I’m glad I met you.”
THEO- “Same here Teagan. Just remember, sometimes it takes others to help you sing your song.”
TEAGAN- “Okay…whatever that means. You are a weird one Theo Gray.”
