Y/N's POV

November 17th 2015

I was with Robert at the mall with our disguises, it would be pretty difficult to know that it was us. We stopped at the food court for some snacks. Rob waited impatiently in the line, as I scrolled through my phone to see if I had any messages.

The photoshoot and reunion was a blast. Though I felt a little awkward with Tom at the photoshoot, he looked like he was enjoying. My birthday was in 12 days, I was all mopey and sad about turning twenty eight, I mean who's happy to get closer to thirty? Eesh. I had a few messages from Derek. He was going to tell me something about Jade on Tom's birthday but he stopped, so I didn't push it.

Speaking of the devil. Is that Jade?

I squinted my eyes and pulled my hoodie up. Robert sat in front of me to block my view. I swatted his arm and made him shift next to me. She was with a guy, who certainly didn't look like Tom. "Isn't that Jade?" Rob asked as he started eating the burrito. I nodded and pulled out my phone to take a picture.

They looked like they were flirting, I can't say for sure, but I don't know it felt like a date. I swear if this girl cheats on Tom, I'm gonna thump this bitch. "Excuse me" I said as an idea popped into my head. I would just walk by their table to listen on the conversation they're having, so I could decipher if they were on a date or not.

Subtly, I walked by their table, once or twice and they were just talking about work. Seems okay, but my suspicion was proved wrong when I heard, "Hey, Tom. Yeah, can you pick me up at the mall? Wyatt has to leave. Thanks, baby" There was no way that she would say that if Tom knew, plus she wouldn't know I'm there because of my disguise.

They're not on a date. Plus, Tom knows about the guy, so of course she's not cheating.

Mine and Tom's fight lasted a few days, he tried talking to me, apologizing and everything. Turns out Jade and Tom had a huge fight after the live he did on Instagram and the first thing that came to his mind was to come to me.

And he did.

We made up at the twin's New Year Party. Actually, I made up, see, how do I put this without breaking down? I was hell bent on not talking to the little piece of shit, but I did. I had to. I had no one else. Mum called me before Christmas - 15th December to be exact - and decided to drop the C bomb at me.

Remember the time, my ex - Calvin and I visited California, for clearing my name and I heard my Dad cough heavily - turns out he has Cancer. Not treatable. I broke down and the first person that came to my mind was Tom - not Robert or Emma or Stef or Nico - Tom, with whom I had been fighting.

I went to his apartment and started bawling. He was the perfect gentleman and held me close and soothed me. The very next day, I decided to visit my family...

Little Alexi was just two years old and I had found out that she tried to say my name - Sorty - yeah, you guessed it, Tom taught her that. I let it slide, cause it sounded so cute when she messed it up. Mick put my bags down and I ran to my father's room. He was alright for now.

But his days were numbered...

"Pumpkin!" he said sweetly, trying to be strong but I saw right through him. I hugged him and started to cry. Where I should be the one taking care of him, he was wiping my tears and stroking my hair as I cried on his chest.

"Why didn't you tell me?" I asked in between breaths. "I know, I'll sound stupid, but you worry about me too much, so I decided not to tell you" he said pecking my forehead. "Can I see the reports?" I asked putting my hand out. He sighed in defeat and handed me the files. I spent another 15 days there forgetting all about Robert or Tom or London even.
