Tom's Girl

•27•

After a while of silence Harrison sits next to me and Tom on the couch.

"I'm so sorry Rylee. We talked to him as much as we could, trying to keep him from over reacting. He just didn't believe us." Harrison says.

"Yea, he just thought we were covering for you." Harry says as he sits down. I let go of Tom, sitting up a little bit but still on his lap.

"He's just a jerk." Harry says.

"Yea, there's no reason for him not to trust you." Harrison agrees.

"Guys stop. You're just making it worse." Hannah says.

"How are we making it worse?? He's the one who is treating her like shit." Harry says.

"Cause Noah's not like that. He never has been, the last argument they got into was whenever her mom passed away." Hannah explains. I look down at Tom to see that he still looks upset but I didn't know why. He looks up at me and gives me a fake smile, wiping the tears off my face with his thumb. "Noah is a great guy, but when things go south, he's like a different person." Hannah says.

"So you're saying something is going on in his life, so he came here to ruin his little sisters." Harrison says, sounding a bit upset. We all look at Hannah and she immediately puts her head down.

"What is it Hannah?" I question with my voice slightly cracking.

"Well... he did say something about Chloe." Hannah says, not making eye contact with us.

"Wait what??" I quickly question.

"Yea, but I'm sure it's nothing. He just said they got into an argument." Hannah says.

"Who's Chloe?" Harry asks.

"His long time girlfriend. They've been dating since they were 17." Hannah says.

"No matter what's going on in his life, he still doesn't have the right to come act like that, specially over nothing." Harrison says.

"Yea why does he think you guys are dating anyway?" Harry asks.

"Well for one, he showed up here and they were in bed together. Hints why I tried to keep you from going up there last night Rylee." Hannah says. "And for two, he found some paparazzi photo's of them together."

"He's over reacting so much. I told him I was just nervous that day and Tom was just comforting me." I say.

"Nervous what day?" Tom asks me.

"Well... I told him I was nervous, but it was the day you took me off set because I wasn't eating..." I explain.

"So you did lie to him." Tom says in a bit of an upset voice.

"Well I wasn't going to tell him the whole truth over the phone that's insane." I argue back.

"But if you lied to him about one thing than you could have been lying about everything else." Tom continues.

"What the hell. Why are you on his side about this??"

"I'm not. I'm just saying, maybe he did have a right to believe you were lying to him."

"But I wasn't lying to him and he just wouldn't believe me. It was one time, one set of pictures. Why would he even have thought I was lying about those pictures anyway?" I question.

"Welll...." Hannah says. "It wasn't really one picture."

"Well it was a few pictures, but the same day and time." I say.

"Not exactly." Hannah continues. "He sent me a bunch of pictures he found online that the paparazzi got of you two. Like when you guys went on a run, and when he took you out to eat during your first day. And someone that goes to your gym got pictures of you guys working out together like everyday." Hannah explains. I let out a groan and flop back down, my head landing on Tom's shoulder. He wraps his arms around my waist, slightly sliding his hands up the back of my shirt.

"I know darling. Paparazzi sucks, but you're going to have to get used to it." Tom says.

"I wonder why he thinks you guys are dating." Harrison sarcastically says as he gets up and heads to the kitchen.

"Oh come on mate. I'm just trying to make her feel better." Tom argues.

"I was too, but I wasn't touching all over her." Harrison says from the kitchen.

"Well this is my way of comforting myy girl." Tom says.

"Woaahhh. Your girl?" Sam says as he walks down the stairs yawning.

"Not like that. Like...." Tom trails off.

"Like a little sister." Sam finishes his sentence.

"Yea I guess." Tom says, making my heart sink a little.

"Told ya." Sam says as he sits down on the couch.

"Why is it that your brother doesn't want you to date Tom anyway? He's a great guy." Harrison says as he walks into the Living room with a cup of tea.

"He's always had this 3 year rule. I'm not allowed to date guys over 3 years older than me." I explain.

"But why? 4 years is not a big age gap at all." Harry says.

"I think it's more because he doesn't want me to date someone older than him." I say.

"Right, because he has to be the number one guy in your life." Hannah says.

"Well he's going to have to accept that he's not." I say as I wrap my arms back around Tom, burying my head into his neck.

"Isn't your brother like 25?" Harry asks.

"Yep."

"Well Tom's only 24, he's not older than him. Soo..." Harry trails off.

"Who ever said that we even wanted to date. I mean we just met like a month ago." Tom says.

"Right..."Harry says.

"Well, its your guys first day off, so lets spend it right." Harrison says.

"Drinking beers and movie marathons!" Tom cheers.

"Got that right." Harrison says.

"I'll make a trip to the store, we don't have enough snack or beers for this." Sam says.

"Can I come?" I ask Sam.

"Course." Sam says as he heads upstairs. I get up and run upstairs also, running to my room to get dressed. I throw on some jeans and an oversized t-shirt and head back downstairs to see Sam already waiting.

"Alright, we'll be back in a few." Sam says as he grabs his car keys and we walk out. We walk out to his car and drive off.
