My thoughts on this chapter and raws.

Honestly, I can see why some people are mad at Theo—but at the same time, I don't fully get it. Like, what do you expect him to do? He had a gun. Spoiler alert: Gunner literally shoots him in the leg but DONT WORRY HE IS OKAY. I know some people are like, “Oh, but Theo knew he wasn’t actually going to shoot him because Gunner’s in love with him.” Well… no. Gunner is not mentally stable, so how do you expect him to be thinking rationally in that moment? Not to mention there were armed men blocking the exit.

Don’t get me wrong- when this chapter first came out, I had a lot of anger toward both Gunner and Theo. But people need to take a step back and really think. Yeah, it’s frustrating, and sometimes it feels like Theo doesn’t know what he wants, but it’s also understandable. He has a lot of history with Gunner, and deep down, he was still holding onto the hope that the person he fell in love with was still in there somewhere. That’s why he agreed to go out for dinner.

Of course, Theo realized pretty quickly that Gunner wasn’t going to change, and that’s when he made up his mind. He decided it was finally time to cut the string that was still tying them together.

You guys really need to take a moment to understand that toxic relationships aren’t easy to walk away from. Even when someone hurts you, mentally or physically -you still find yourself yearning for them. It’s a complicated kind of attachment. Let’s just be grateful that Theo has someone to fall back onto, someone who reminds him that he’s truly loved.

DONT DROP THIS.
I don’t think you guys realize just how obsessed Theo is with Dylan. Yeah, it might seem one-sided at times, but when Theo loves, he loves hard. He’s a deeply romantic person, and it’s clear that Dylan completely swept him off his feet. Please be patient..because in the current raws, they’re very much in love. And let me say this one more time- Theo is very much obsessed with Dylan. It definitely goes both ways.

Just some thoughts:
Honestly, by the end, you can see that Gunner comes to a realization too. After he shoots Theo, there’s this look of fear and regret on his face. He finally understands that all he’s been doing is hurting the person he claims to love. And just to be clear—I’m not excusing his behavior in any way. But it felt like, in that moment, Gunner made the decision to let Theo go as well. I feel like he also comes to a realization that theo is no longer holding onto him..I know this may seem crazy but when these chapters finally get uploaded I hope you guys will see what I see too.

And who knows maybe these words will come back to bite me. But for now, I’m choosing to be hopeful. ---Hell even I don't know if I should call it love.. it's more like an obsession.
