Tom and I had been friends since we were little. I have always had a little crush on him but never told him or anyone else. It's the week of my 21st birthday, I'm laid in bed watching spiderman (as I support my bestie) my mum shouts me from downstairs "Boo, toms here". I hear his name and quickly throw the covers back, as I run downstairs' I fix my hair hoping I looked good. "TOM" I shouted while throwing my arms around his neck as he catches me. "hey, sorry I didn't tell you I wanted this to be a surprise" he says into my ear still holding me. I pull away "how was LA?"
Tom has been away for 6 months filming Endgame. We facetimed a LOT, he tried his best not to tell me any secrets, but he told me a few.
"It was great, listen I need to talk to you" we walk upstairs to my room. He sits next to me on the bed. "you know I was saying how amazing Zendaya is?" I try not to look at him as I think I know where this is going "yeah?". "well she's my girlfriend now, and I would love for you to meet her. Maybe at the Endgame premier next month?" . I look at him with confusion on my face "when did you ask her? And are you asking me to the premier?". He leans back with his elbows on the bed "yesterday before I left, and yes". Moments pass and I'm silent trying to take in what he just said. He sits up and nudges me "you okay?" he says reading the sadness on my face. "yeah, um just thinking about meeting Chris Evans" I fake a smile and clear my throat. "listen I'm really tired so I'm gonna go to sleep you should probably go" he stands up. Confused he leaves. I close my bedroom door and head to my ensuite bathroom. I close the bathroom door behind me and start to cry.
Toms POV
"Leaving so soon?" her dad asked. "yeah um, how's Bella been today? Is she not having a good day?" scratching his neck. "she was fine earlier, might be that time". Bella's mum slaps her dads arm. "Dave shut up, she's fine tom" she smiles at me and I leave the house. As I walk back to my car I look up to Bella's window to see her closing the curtains. I sit in my car and text her.
Bel, I know something isn't right did I say something wrong?
No, goodnight Tom
Night Bel x
I arrive home and I cant stop thinking about Bella. I think back to everything I said and try to think about what could annoy her. "Zendaya" I throw my self onto my bed and burry my face in the pillows. Harry walks into the room as I talk to my self "Bella's mad because of Zendaya". Harry stands in the doorway with his arms crossed "doesn't surprise me, she's had a crush on you since like forever". Tom sits straight "what?" he practically shouts. "its so obvious tom! and you ant say you don't feel the same about her. I see the way you look at her". I grab a pillow and shove onto my face as I lay back onto the bed "what have I done". Harry sits on the bed next to me "bro, just take a few days to figure out what you want to do"
Bella's POV
I lay in bed crying, my eyes red and puffy. Someone knocks on the door, my mum walks in. "you okay?" she says sitting on the edge of my bed. "mum, I really like him but he's with Zendaya now. I was going to tell him when he got back" she lays back on the bed next to me, I put my head on her chest "just be honest with him, tell him you like him". "I don't want to ruin anything" I say watching the TV. "go with your gut" she kisses my forehead and wipes my tears.
The next morning I wake up and stare at the ceiling. I roll over and get my phone. I have 2 missed facetimes from Tom. I roll me eyes and lay back "what do I say!". I hover over the facetime button a few seconds before deciding to call back.
"hey" tom says while I see him eating his breakfast. "morning, sorry I missed your calls I was asleep" I say while getting out of bed. "that's fine, can't wait for this afternoon" I furrow my brows as I walk downstairs "what's this afternoon?" I look up to see my dad poring me a drink "oh were going to Dom and Nicolas for a BBQ" my dad replies. "yeah" tom says pointing his spoon at me. "sounds good" we end the facetime as my mum walks through the kitchen. "morning, feeling better?" she grabs her cup of coffee. "think so" I take my cup and walk to my room.
