The Return

Theo/Gage's POV

It's been a couple days since we've been home, to which Gage and I were very thankful for. After packing all of Izzy's things, which was not a lot by the way, we went for some lunch. Mother and Father were supposed to go with but she apparently felt 'ill', ill our ass. She has this new thing, that started rather quickly, where she is trying to set us up with Izzy. It's ridiculous, don't get us wrong, Izzy's a very beautiful, intelligent, strong woman but we can't have any feelings for her.

Even if she does have those soft doe eyes, that makes her look so innocent, and her soft hair that shines-what am I saying! Bad Theo! Stay away from Izzy!

Anyways so we went to lunch by ourselves, or so we thought.

Flashback

"So how you feeling?" We ask her as the waiter leads us to the table. She seems highly uncomfortable, but is trying to play it cool. We sit down and the waiter takes our drink orders, then leaves us alone.

"Um...I'm alright, better than usual." She says not looking directly at us. We understand that this probably hard for her, having to leave your childhood behind you, granted she was abused here. We knew how she felt. Sure we weren't abused by Steven and his family, but we left them. We killed them.

That stays with us all the time. We're sure people would say it wasn't our fault, it was theirs, but we knew that if we weren't with them they'd still be alive. We miss them so much.

"That's good, and don't worry about meeting anyone new. Everyone back home is really nice and welcoming." She smiles softly at us and we can't help but look at her, she's so beautiful. We've never had feelings for someone, mainly cause we wanted to wait for our mate but...

"Could you tell me about them?" She suddenly asks, snapping us out of our sad thoughts. "Who?"

"Your family? Could you tell me about them?" We smiled and began to explain each and everyone of them. Lord have mercy on our soul if mom tells Callie about me liking Izzy. That is something I don't look forward to.

"Wow, they sound very interesting." She says giggling softly as our food is placed in front of us. We begin to eat in silence, small words exchanged between us. Just as we're about done, the best thing happens.

"Izzy, could I please talk to you?"

"What is Beau doing here? I swear he's like an annoying fly that won't go away." I sneer inside our head. Gage only nods with a small glare in Beau's direction.

"W-What are you doing here Beau?" She asks him with a soft glare as well. Obviously she doesn't want to be near the guy, but who could blame her? We most certainly didn't.

He scratches his arm nervously as well as biting his lip. "I-I just want to talk to you please. That's all I ask then I'll leave you alone." He says looking at Gage and I but we only sneer at him. He returns his attention to Izzy, still waiting for a reply.

"Look it's obvious that she doesn't want to speak with you, so move along before I-"

"I'll speak to him." We hear Izzy say from behind us. We look down at her and look at her like she grew a second head.

"Izzy you don't have to." We say, trying to convince her to not even bother. She only shakes her head and grabs our hand. We immediately feel our heart beat slightly faster from the close contact, but keep our facial expression blank

"But Theo stays with us." She says sternly. We smile inside our head that she still wants us to be around her. We look over at Beau with a smug smile. He looks annoyed but says nothing. We all sit down again, with Beau across from us.

"Alright talk." She says while still eating. Its comical with how much, her just eating, annoys him. His fists clench tightly as his jaw ticks. "Oh I'm enjoying this so much." I say in our heads, loving this.

"Izzy, I-I want to apologize. I was supposed to be your best friend, but I abandoned you. I'm so sorry I hurt you in the worst possible ways. But Izzy, please, please stay. Please don't leave us, don't leave me. I'll change, I'll be who I use to be. No more-"

"Beau, I'm going to stop you right there. I may have forgiven you, and helped you keep your title but I'm not staying. There is nothing you can say to change that Beau. You hurt me, the worst ways anyone could imagine. And what's worse is that I know you'll never change. That was you, the Beau I knew is gone, and I don't think he's coming back." As she speaks to him, you can see pain and heartbreak behind his eyes. It almost makes us feel sorry for him.

"P-Please Izzy, just give me another chance-"

"Goodbye Beau." She stands up and begins to walk, leaving us and Beau. We look at him, tilting our head in confusion.

"If you're gonna hurt me more go ahead. There's nothing more you could do to break me." He says bitterly, looking down in shame. We scoff and place money on the table.

"Here's the thing Beau, I don't pity you. From what I've heard and seen, you broke her heart and her trust. You're an idiot for thinking that she'd trust you again. She may say she forgives you, but I highly doubt that. You lost something very special today, and thats your own stupid mistake. I may not have known her for a long time, but I'll be the idiot if I let her go, even if she only considers me a friend." Our heart clenches at the realisation. We like Izzy, we want to be with her, but we know we can't. She has a mate out there somewhere.

She'll be happier with him, than she'd ever be with us.

"You stay away from Izzy." He growls and stands up suddenly. "If you're trying to be intimidating, its not working. You have no say in what I feel for her, so back off." We sneer then walk off, not able to stand his presence anymore.

After walking away we met up with Izzy and went back to the house. She kept quiet during the whole drive and we understood that she didn't want to speak. When we returned to the pack house, everyone was ready to leave. We packed the cars and went off.

When we returned home, Callie immediately greeted us. She apparently knew Izzy as well, its like they were the best of friends. Great, the girl we like is best friends with our sister, lucky us, note the sarcasm.

I warned mom not to tell Callie how we felt about Izzy, but I suspect she already knows. Gage and I are not really discrete about it though. We think Izzy knows but she's either ignoring it or she's just very oblivious, we're hoping its the latter.

Mother spoke with me and Izzy and told us that she enrolled us in the nearby high school. It's apparently an all supernatural school, well aside from some of the human mates, but there are very few. I'm excited. Gage and Izzy? Not so much. Shame, they'll just have to suck it up.

"You both start tomorrow." She says and leaves us alone in the kitchen. We turn to Izzy and you can already see the pain in her eyes. We place our hand on her shoulder, making her face us.

"It'll be alright, plus you got me with you. I'll protect you Izzy and Callie will be there. Gosh all of my cousins will." She smiles softly and stands up, probably going to bed.

"Goodnight Theo." She walks off and leaves us there.

"We're screwed." Gage mumbles in our head.

I could not agree more.
