Tom's POV

     " I think I am going to go to the cafe today, you know, the one down the street," I say through a mouth full of food.
"Don't die," She laughes, "If you get kidnapped by a crazy fan I may or may not come and save you.."
" Wow...that's comforting," A grin grows on my face.

    I pick up our plates and put them in the dishwasher.
I place my hands on the counter, studying my watch, "I am going back to London next week so I want to enjoy it here while i can, if I can," I say.
"Whatever you say Tom,"

    Once Zendaya leaves, I grab my phone and my wallet and head outside. LA weather is always the nicest. It's so warm here. My hands place my sunglasses on my face and I start walking. Ah what a beautiful da...
My thoughts are quick to be interrupted.
" Oh My is that Tom Holland!"
"Get a picture quick!"
"Ahhhhhh! It's Tom Holland!"
I wave to everyone, sign my autograph on things, pose in pictures, and take selfies. The usual. The same routine. Autograph,smile,picture. I make my way down the street as the crowd starts to build up and quite a few people are following me.
"How are you doing today?" A man with a big camera asks pointing it directly at my face.
"I'm doing great, thank you! How about you?"
"I'm doing well." He says back.
I try to make everyone happy but I have to ignore some people. I appreciate that so many people care about me but it's overwhelming at times. While I'm walking I answer paparazzi and their never ending questions as I drag my feet to the entrance of the shop. Finally I can breath as I step in. Thankfully, everyone is kind enough to stay outside. 

     As I'm ordering, I hear a ding from my pocket.
I pull out my phone and see that I got 40 notifications saying that people have tagged me in their post. Yup, you guessed it. It's me walking down to the coffee shop.
"Heres your drink Tom," I sigh and find a seat.

Kaelyn's POV

    I check out books for a few more people and then head to my cubby to grab my bag. As I turn to walk out, my body rams into Dylan's and I stumble back barley catching my balance.
"Where are you headed to?"
"I'm just going to go down to the coffee shop for my break. I kinda had a slow morning so caffeine wouldn't hurt," I reply.
" Well you have fun with that," He says as he runs his fingers through his perfect hair.
I have to stop myself from staring but it's to late.
" Were you checking me out?!" He asks as if he's utterly surprised by my actions.
" I...I um gonna go," I almost choke on my words and my feet as I run the hell out of there.

Tom's POV

    I get up and throw my drink away having enjoyed my morning tea. As I'm opening the door, I thank the baristas and give them a final smile as I mentally prepare myself.
"Excuse me guys!" I kind of shout as I try to make my way through the crowd.
Papers and phones are being shoved in my face. I smile and try my best to get to everyone, in hopes that my anger won't boil over.

Kaelyn's POV

     As I get there, I see a huge crowed of people, swarming the cafe. Must be another celebrity. Of course the one morning I need caffeine, I can't even get into the damn shop. I might as well try to slide through and possibly see who this person is. I walk over there holding on tightly to my back. I shimmy my way through the crowd asking for people to please move. Everything's going well until a large man backs into me and I fall on my hand and knees.
"OUch!" I yelp. I start to panic and try to get up but keep getting pushed back down. I'm literally getting trampled. I just want a fucking coffee. Someone steps on the back of my leg and I yelp in pain once again. How the hell is nobody seeing that I'm on the floor? A tear streams down my face from anger. And I close my eyes.

Tom's POV

      As I'm trying my best to take pictures with everyone I hear a soft yell of pain through all the noise. I scan the floor and see her. A girl on her hands and knees on the ground, eyes closed, and she isn't even moving. She's as still as a statue. I push people to get to her, ignoring the pictures and ignoring my need to be kind.
"Guys stop! Just stop" I yell to try and get people to stop moving but nobody listens. I push and push and finally get to her. I try and shield her body from getting crushed. And grab her arms to help her up but she won't move.

Kaelyn's POV

     "COME ON , MOVE PLEASE!" a man yells. I am closing my eyes as he grabs me by the waist and pulls my inside somewhere. I start punching and hitting because I think I'm getting kidnapped, not realizing I still have my eyes closed.
"STOP! I'm trying to help you! Open your eyes."
I open my eyes slowly and am met with the most beautiful person i've ever seen. He's on his knees right in front of me, holding my shoulders with concern in his eyes. I don't say anything and look around. Realizing we are both sitting on the cafe floor, people staring at us. My eyes meet back with his. I must look crazy right now.
"Are you alright?" He asks.
"I..." is all I can manage to say.
"Your nose is bleeding," he says. "Come with me to the bathroom."

      He helps me up and I follow him in shock. I stare at him while he wets a paper towel and hands it to me.
"Here you go, this should help."
"T-Thanks," I stutter still not believing this is happening.
" Are you sure your ok?"
I nod.
"Are you sure because your face is as white as a ghost..."
"Um..yea...yea, Im fine," I hold the paper towel to my nose.

Tom's POV

     I stare at her as she cleans her self up. That must have been so scary for her. Maybe I should try and talk to her a little, comfort her? She still looks terrified.
" So, are you a fan?" I chuckle trying to lighten the mood.
She looks at me and rolls her eyes, " a fan of coffee, yes. "
I laugh knowing she knew what I meant.
"I mean-" She cuts me off.
"Am I a fan of you, yes sure I guess you could say that, but don't flatter yourself babe. I just came her to get my caffeine load and leave."
"I see, well tea is better than coffee you know," I reply, grinning.
"Okay well believe me when I tell you your insane," She smiles at me and walks to throw her bloody paper towel away.
I turn towards her, "I'm really sorry about that, I understand that, that must have been terrifying,"

   "It's not your fault. I shouldn't have gone over here. And it was kind of scary, but I'm a big girl." She laughs. The type of laugh that would make your insides melt. I almost choke on my own saliva realizing what I just thought.
"So how old are you?" I ask.
"20," she says back.
Wow she's 20, only 4 years younger. I look at what she's wearing. I love her yellow flannel. I notice that it has a rip in it.
" I can buy you another shirt if you want,"
"What? Oh, it's ok, I look kinda bad ass"
There's something about this girl's personality that's so attractive. I just can't imagine this being the last time I would ever talk to her.
"Do you want to exchange numbers?" I ask.
Shock crosses her face and she raises an eyebrow.
" Are you sure? You barley know me?"
"What's your name?"
"Kaelyn," she reply's.
"There, now I know you."
She grins and hands me her phone.
