Theo Loves Lana
 Lana Loves Theo.
He will do anything to keep her, but he wants to know what she's keeping from him.
Lana has always been an open book, she doesn’t lie and she loves him. Theo knows these two facts for sure but with the phone calls she won’t tell him about and the pieces of her past she intentionally kept from him, Theo begins to doubt her trust in him. 
	Theo can’t imagine his life without Lana but he might have to face it if he can’t figure out what’s wrong.

Every Reason I Loved Her

I’M NUMB AS I WALK into the room. Shaina is shaking. Alex is still as a statue. Shaina is the only one that has seen Lana. She knows what to expect, but I don’t think that’s any help.


“She looks like she’s sleeping.” Alex’s voice is so low I can barely hear it. I inch toward Lana’s side and I look down at her.


“She knew.” I don’t recognize my own voice. “She’s known since she was ten.” My voice is rough.


“I can’t.” Shaina ducks out of the room. Alex hesitates.


“You need some time with her.” He’s rigid as he follows Shaina out.


I stand there beside Lana, watching her. I always love watching her. Her eyes are closed, and her hair is messy. It could almost be any other night, accept that her chest is still. She’s not muttering nonsense or proclaiming discoveries. I don’t want to feel like this. I don’t want to feel nothing when Lana makes me feel so much


“Hey, Mrs. Bell.” My words are stiff, stiff like she was while her brain bled as I held her in my lap trying to order an Uber.
