Tell no one - Paddy Holland

Chapter 8

TOMS POV:

It was way too damn early in the morning for how little sleep we got to be up, but here I was.

Wide awake at 8 AM.

Y/n, of course was still sleeping.

I watched her as she slept and it broke my heart to see all the monitors and tubes attached to her.

I'm not going to let anyone ever hurt her again.

I felt my phone buzz. It was a text from Paddy.

After avidly assuring Paddy several times that Y/n was okay and that he could go to bed, he finally did. But I knew that he was going to have to talk to her for himself before he would really calm down.

                              Paddy

Paddy:
How is she?

Me:
She's okay. Pretty bruised and scarred, but she's okay. A lot of it is going to be the mental part. Getting kidnapped is traumatic, and you know she's not going to move on easily

Paddy:
I know. I wish there was something I could do

Me:
She knows you love her Pads, and that's all she really needs. Support.

Paddy:
The twins and I are catching the next flight to New York. She needs support? She's got her 3 other brothers on the way to help her

Me:
You know she's gonna be ecstatic

Paddy:
Hope so. See u in a few hours

                       ~end of texts~

Paddy really cares about her.

It's sweet. The two of them get along really well.

Really, really well...

PADDYS POV:

Harry, Sam, and I were all at the airport with Mum. Dad was away for the weekend visiting a friend in Paris for his birthday so Mum was the only one left to drive us to the airport.

Mum handed me an envelope. It was off-white, had little specks of gold, and was closed with a wax seal the way all of mums letters were.

Y/n's name was written neatly on the envelope in Mums' perfect handwriting.

"Give this to Y/n, and tell her we love her and we hope she's okay" Mum instructed.

I smiled and nodded.

She gave me a final hug and we all said our goodbyes.

We got through customs with only slight issue when Harry accidentally left a metal key chain in his pockets, setting off both the normal metal detector and the hand held ones.

Safe to say those poor customs officials were less than amused when they figured out Harry was just being dumb and forgot to take the keychain out of his pocket.

After that we grabbed some snacks and got on the plane.

I texted Tom, telling him that the plane was about to take off and I would text him when we landed.

I put my phone in Airplane mode as the plane took off and put in my headphones listening to some music to pass the time.

I looked down at the envelope I was still holding and wondered what it is that Mum had written to Y/n.

Mum had never actually met Y/n so I was confused as to what she could have possibly said that would take up a whole letter.

I spent the remainder of our ungodly long flight watching movies, listening to some podcasts, basically anything to pass the time.
