Through the dark

Part 17

Y/n: It-it's nothing! Really it's not.. not important!

Y/n: *Wow y/n, very convincing.*

Y/n: I-I'm going to bed now. Good night guys.

You go up to your room as fast as you can. Not saying another word. You get to your room and close the door behind you. And call Lea.

Lea: Omg y/n finally! Did you see what I texted you?

Y/n: I did!

Lea: Im so proud of you who would have thought that so many people would like your music.

I don't know if that's a compliment or not.

You both laugh. You hear a knock on your door.

Y/n: I'm sorry but I got to go.

Lea: Ok love you and I'm so proud of you bye!

Y/n: Love you too bye!

You hand up.

Y/n: Come in!

Some opens the door. It's Tom he comes in and sits on your bed next to you. He has a serious look on his face.

Tom: Who was that?

Y/n: My friend Lea. You know the girl I lived with in the US. I told you about her.

Tom: Yes I remember. Anyway what were you so excited about earlier?

Y/n: *Should I tell him?*

Tom: I- I saw the message.. I didn't mean to read it I'm really sorry.

He looks down at his hands. You can see that he feels bad so you take his head in your hands and look him in the eyes. You look at his lips and kiss him.

Y/n: I'm not mad at you! But I think I owe you and explanation.

He nods and listens.

Y/n: I don't even know how to start...

You take a deep breath and look Tom in the eyes.

Y/n: It started when I was in the US for about two month. I met this guy. His name was Ben he was really nice to me. He asked me out one day and I said yes. I really liked him and we got together. Everything was fine at first.

You take a deep breath again. Tom takes your hand which calms you down. You smile at him and a tear rolls down your cheek. Tom wipes your tear away.

Tom: You don't have to tell me what happened if you're not ready.

Y/n: No I want to tell you!

Tom: Ok take your time.

Y/n: Ben and I had an argument one day. He started yelling at me really loud. I got scared so I asked him to stop.

You start to tear up again and your hands shake. Tom pulls you close to him and you kiss him. Tom looks really worried and sad at you.

Y/n: He-he didn't stop. I told him if he wouldn't stop yelling at me I would break up with him. He got even more mad when I said that. He.. he then started to hit me. I was so shocked that I couldn't move. I couldn't scream for help. I was.. I was just standing there letting it happen. He then left. I fell on the floor crying. I thought I would never see him again. He came back two days later to apologize. Of course I didn't forgive him. He got really mad again and started beating me up again.

You look at Tom and see that he started tearing up and tears roll down his face.

Y/n: He forced me into a relationship with him. I was so scared that I agreed. Now to the part either message you read. I started writing songs about everything. It helped me to process what happened. I Gelände ti Lea about all what has happened with Ben. She convinced me to go to the police. I didn't have any proof to what Ben did to me so they couldn't do anything. Lea was very supportive and helped me through that time. Sh found my songs one day and asked me to sing them for her. I said no because I was insecure about my voice. I never thought I was any good. Lea bothered me so long until I agreed. Lea recorded me. She made an Instagram account and posted it. Without my face on it so Ben wouldn't know it's me. At first I was really mad at her. But then people started to actually like my music. A lot of people started following me and shared it. I started to wear a mask in the next videos and called her Tiana. You may know her. The message you saw was Lea telling me that I hit 20 million followers on Instagram.

Tom doesn't say anything he just looks at you for a while.

Tom: Let me get this straight. You are Tiana?

You nod.

Y/n: Are you mad?

Tom: What? Mad how could I be mad? I mean you write all these amazing songs? I didn't know you could sing. I mean you are so talented.

You smile.

Y/n: Thank you baby! So you're really not mad?

Tom: Of course I'm not mat at you! Why would I be mad?

Y/n: I don't know..

Tom: I'm just sorry about what you had to go through. I wish I could have been there for you. I would love to visit that Ben idiot. I feel like it's my fault..

You laugh a little.

Y/n: How could it be your fault? You weren't there. And we weren't even talking at that time.

Tom: Yeah but I feel like it's my fault you left in the first place.

Y/n: I love you Tom!

He smiles at you.

Tom: I Love you too darling.

You kiss him.

Y/n: I'm really tired. Do you want to sleep here?

Tom kisses you and you lay back. He is on top of you and kisses your neck.

Tom: What kind of question is that? Of course I want to sleep here!

He takes his shirt and trousers of. He gets in bed next to you. You cuddle up to him and stroke his abs. You put your head on his chest. Tom strokes your back which gives you goosebumps. You fall fall asleep about 30 minutes later.
