Theo’s POV I watch Ivy run away and I sink to the ground. I let my body calm. It’s too much to fight. How will I ever survive this? The time with Noah was good. He’s a special boy. I feel as if I’ve known him. I’m so attracted to him. I can’t imagine he will go back to Ice Moon and I won’t see him again. Ivy gone. Noah gone. I can’t do this. I need a drink, a lot of drinks. I head to the bar on the other side of town. *** I sit at the bar alone and get serious about getting completely drunk. I want to forget this night; my life — everything! How has my life gone so wrong? Is this it for me now? “Theo? Is that you?” I look up and I see my childhood friend, Shelby. We were best friends in school. But he moved to another city and became a successful race car driver, quite famous now.
