Part 6 || 17 - California

May 27th 2016, the day, my whole life was going to change.

I was sitting on the ground with the group, just me, Tom, Derek, the twins, Dan, Emma and Rupert - the inner circle. It had been long since we had met, like properly.

Tom didn't move out, he was so devastated that he didn't even look at his apartment. Of course, how do you recover from the fact that you had just been cheated on a 7 year relationship? It just scars you for life, I guess.

But we're taking baby steps, Tom and I go out for walks every day, then sometimes we go for drinks, yeah sometimes he cries, but it's lesser than before but hey, we're getting better.

Well, I think he is, but he still looks hung up. I have been caught up with taking care of him so much, that I was lacking out at work. The movie Tom and I were going to do has scheduled filming at the end of the year. We haven't signed any contracts yet.

I did a few other modelling jobs, I have a few premieres lined up next month, which I'm going alone by the way. I had tons of interviews as well, it had been long since I did one. I was going to visit my family too. Dad's not doing that well.

Julius and I had a talk with the doctors, he's pulling more days than the doctors predicted, so maybe he's recovering, I mean, that's just, I don't know, I'm trying to stay positive. I don't want to lose him.

"Y/N, it's your turn" Tom said snapping me out of my thoughts. We were all playing Jenga. "Right" I said and bend down to it's height, with my butt out. I carefully pushed the last piece, which was pretty difficult. The tower shook just a little so I stopped.

"You're going to drop it, Shorty" Tom said and I moved my gaze to him and in one swift moment, I pulled the piece out. I placed it on the top, "Well?" I asked smirking. "Well" Tom mimicked me.

He really doesn't act like a 28 year old.

"Excuse me" I said as my phone rang. I pulled it out of my pocket and looked at the name. It was my manager. "Hey, Michelle!" I said standing up and going away from the group.

After talking to her, I should be happy, but I wasn't. "We're leaving, babe" Emma said as she came to hug me. I managed my phone in between my shoulder and ear and hugged everyone, as they left.

"Alright, yeah, erm, keep me posted" I said as Tom put the Jenga pieces into the bag. He saw my expression change, "What was that about?" He asked as I took a breath in.

"I have to move to California"

He dropped his hands and looked at me, "What? For - For how long?" He asked as I walked over to him. "Remember the project I was telling you about?" He nodded, "Well, they picked me, it's- erm, it's a two year long project"

"That's great news!" He said excitedly, "I don't know why I'm sad, we're going to see each other for the movie" he said hugging me and chuckling a little. "The condition that comes with it - I have to be in California for the first year. And after that, I'm going to be all over the world, so - so I think I need to call Jason about it" I said pulling away.

"Oh" he said sadly. "Erm, wow, I didn't expect that" he said as the door opened. The both of us looked and saw Emma like she was searching for something, "What happened here? Why are you both crying?" She asked and we realized that we were crying.

Better now than later.

I wiped my tears as she approached me, "I'm moving to California!" I said trying to sound happy. She excitedly hugged me as I looked at Tom. He didn't look shred bit of happy, he was more devastated than Jade cheating on him, he wasn't just showing it.
