Running From You - Tom Hiddleston Fan Fiction

Darkness - Mum

"Come on kids', let's go get fish n' chips" I called out to them. They deserved a treat and so did Becca after the day she'd had.
Uhh bloody press, why did they have to be so horrible. Trying to find out stuff about Becca and the kids. Her and Tom were so good together. First time I'd seen her so happy in a long time. Plus the kids really like him. I really like him, so polite, treating her like the queen she is, not like that piece of shit husband she had.

Archie and Olivia ran down the stairs, "Yes! But I want sausage and chips nan" Olivia rushed up to me.
"Umm that's not how we get what we want"
"Pleeaasseee can I have sausage and chips, I don't like fish"
"You used to love fish"
"Not any more"
"Ok well come on get your shoes on. You having fish Archie?" I asked looking at him.
"Oh yes please nan" his shiner was definitely coming through now.
"You'll need to put some more ice on that when we get back love" I was pointing at it, he just nodded.
Back in my day I would've praised him for winning the fight and bought him something, but I knew times had changed. I had whispered well done to him when I bought em home though.

"Come on mum will be back soon I imagine, she's been gone an hour, I just text her"

-we just gone to pick up some dinner, love you -

I locked up and off we went, we'd only be gone 20 minutes.

I was holding they're hands walking back from the chip shop, the queue was well bad considering it was a Monday. Olivia held my hand a bit tighter.
"You ok love?"
"Why is mum breaking up with Tom?"
"Well... Ummm she thinks it's for the best"
"Is it coz of what was in the papers?"
"Yes babe, your mum doesn't want to be all over the news and she certainly don't want you to be either"
"But she loves Tom and he loves her" Olivia sniffed.
"Sometimes things just aren't meant to be babe"
"Well I think they should be together, Tom's the best boyfriend" Archie piped up, "and it's also really cool that he's an actor... And... I know I shouldn't say it... But he's nicer than dad"
Olivia agreed.

We were nearly back home, "come on these chips are getting cold and your mum should be back by now" I knocked on the front door and then opened it, the kids chucked their shoes off and went to the kitchen.
"Becca we're back, you ere? Massive queue in..."
"NAN! NAN, something's happened" Archie was shouting.
"What, what?" I went to where he was standing in the kitchen doorway holding Olivia back. She started crying.

I looked round the corner, "oh my god... Get up upstairs... No wait" I rushed upstairs, "Becca? Becca?" I searched every room, she wasn't there. I rushed back downstairs. The kids were frozen in place.

There were the flowers Tom had gotten her smashed on the floor, pictures of her and Tom and blood... Blood dripped across the floor. The kitchen was smashed up and there were bloody hand prints across the side and on the white door frame. I rushed out into the garden, the back gate was open and there were drag marks across the grass. I grabbed my phone out of my pocket and dialled 999.

"Emergency. Which service?"
"Police, police, I need the police ere"
"Your through to the police, what is your location?" I gave them Becca's address.
"And a contact number in case we get cut off?"
I gave them my phone number.
"And what's the problem?"
"My daughter, my daughter she's been taken"
"She's been taken?"
"Yeah, her kitchen is smashed up and there's blood... There's blood across the room, please I need someone ere. I need someone ere now!"
The kids were crying and calling out for their mum.
The operator took some more details and said they'd be there as soon as possible. I had to let Tom know, but I didn't have his number... Jeff, I'll call Jeff...

"Hi darlin' you ok?" Jeff answered straight away.
"No, no I'm not... Becca... Becca's been taken. Something terrible has happened. I need to get hold of Tom"
"Oh shit! Where are you?"
"I'm at Becca's house, there's blood across the kitchen and it's smashed up and there's drag marks, drag marks across the lawn" I started crying.
"Don't worry Tina, I'll get him. We'll be straight there"
I could hear sirens in the background...
"Hurry, the police are ere now" I hung up and went to meet them at the front door.

Two cars had shown up, the neighbors were out in force gawping. I bought them in to show them the kitchen. The kids were sat on the sofa crying and I went to comfort them. One of the coppers was on his phone talking to a detective I guessed.

"Take a seat, we need some more details"
I gave them our names, Becca's details, what she was last wearing, when I saw her last, had I heard from her...
"Does your daughter know anyone who might want to hurt her?"
I didn't want to say in front of the kids so I got up to speak to him away from em.
"Her ex husband, David"
I gave them all his details, why I thought it was him that could have taken her, when Tom burst in through the door.
