Theodore stayed in the hospital room a little longer with Rebecca. Eventually, Sydney called him out.

"Theo, you should go home and rest," she urged.

"Mom, it's fine. I want to stay with Grandma longer."

"I know you want to be here, but you need to take care of yourself. Look at you! Grandma's worried. She asked me to tell you to go home and rest," Sydney said gently.

Theodore had lost weight, and Wesley couldn't help but feel a twinge of sadness at the sight. "Theo, your mom is right. You should rest, especially since you were injured so badly. Don't make Grandma worry."

"Yeah," Sydney continued. "Once you go back, I'll call Rose to come over."

"Mom, you really think I shouldn't see Rose, don't you?" Theodore asked, his voice heavy with disappointment.

Sydney sighed softly, and patted his shoulder. "Theodore, Rose has been through so much pain, and now you're suffering too. What do you think will happen if you see each other? Do you think you can get back together? If not, it'll only prolong your pain."

Despair crept into Theodore's heart. Even his mother didn't support him; no one was on his side, and he felt utterly alone. His friends seemed to think he deserved this. If that were the case, what was left to salvage? He truly had brought this on himself. He closed his eyes in anguish, took a deep breath, and said, "I understand. I'll leave now."
