I feel ok when I see you smile

Y/n pov:

And soon enough he had arrived.

As soon as I saw him running up to my bench my breath hitched making my stomach press further into my ribs and my posture sit straight.

"Hey stranger" tommy said, smiling at the joke he had just made.

"Hey Tommy" I said forcing a smile but as time went on it had just came to me naturally

"I'm sorry"

"I'm sorry" we said that the same time.

"Sorry, you first" I said clearing my throat allowing him to speak first

"I'm sorry I got so mad. I'm not sure why I got like that but I did and I'm sorry. You're my best friend and I just wanted the best for you. If kyle makes you happy then I'm your biggest supporter" I laughed at his stupidity of him thinking I wanted to be with kyle

"I really didn't want or don't want to be with him like that ever, and after I went to kyles in attempt to study... I don't think we are on the same page in friendship terms. The... thing... on my neck was only from my curling iron. I burnt myself on accident and me being me didn't want to tell anyone because I knew it could be a fuss. And I'm so stupid for kissing him, I'm sorry if I messed with you emotions. That wasn't the plan" I said only keeping eye contact with the floor until I finally looked up at Tommy at the end of my little speech to find him smirking, already looking at me.

"I missed you"

"I missed you too" an arm had snakes around my waist as he pulled he closer to him, resting my head on his chest and my back leaning against him. With his free hand he softy played with my hair placing his head on top of mine. And we fell into comfortable silence, God I missed him.

"I'm really sorry about that teacher by the way" I whispered to him calmly as it was only us two, on this bench. This is the most calm I've felt since that night.

"It's not you fault, thank you tho for turning it off. I don't know what I would have done if you hadn't" his voice laced with sadness. I looked up to him to he his eyes watery and weighed down. I sat myself up, ripping my head from his warm and comfortable chest and turned to face him and as soon as I did I knew. His eyes where looking towards the ground and his face was saddened, I could tell he was trying to stop himself from crying. I immediately did the thing I only knew how to do, pull him towards me as he fell into my arms, laying his head on my stomach and gripping one of my arms that where holding his head close, my fingers dancing slowly in his hair.

I heard the little wipers from tommy as his tears fell onto my top. I felt helpless. What am I supposed to be in this situation? I can't believe the teacher did that. What kind of teacher is he. And kyle and the others were laughing at him... what dickheads. The more I thought about it the more my anger was replacing the soft side of me that were crumpling as Tommy cried in my arms. However I tried my best to contain it, for tommy. Everything I ever did was for Tommy.

"Ice cream??" I said and tommy ripped the fabric from my clothing off his face as it was stuck from his dried up tears, and turned to look at me now having a little smile on his face.

He slowly nodded as he got up off of me enabling us both to stand up.

We walked to go get ice cream making little conversation as we did so, hoping it would distract tommy from the mess of that was today. As we walked our arms kept lightly brushing against each other sending shivers up my spine and then I grabbed his hand, interlocking our fingers. He looked down at me and smiles and looked down even further at our hands then quick looking back at me.

"where have you been? You are late to school like every day and most days she didn't even turn up, nobody hearing a peep from you." I froze. I didn't know what to say. It's not like I put my life on hold just because of a boy, but I lost care in important things like my education. I really did try and hold up the four walls around me that where slowly collapsing, as I said I tried to study for exams but even that failed on me. Everything was failing on me.

"I'm not sure, I guess I never woke up on time"

"I know that's not true." He said with a sigh but he didn't expect anything more from me. He pushed our body's closer together and squeezed my hand "as long as your ok, I'm glad your back". That made my insides crumble, that was cute.

"Hey what can I get for you?" the nice, young looking woman standing at the till greeted us as we walked into the ice cream place. I scanned through all the different flavours until a particular one caught my eye.

"Hi can I please get the Cookies and cream ice cream, two scoops in a tub?" I said smiling at the girl.

"of course" She said reaching for the ice cream scoop and the tub for me as my heart warmed from how sweet she is.
"Can I get anything for you, sir?"

"Uh yeah please can I get the chocolate one, two scoops in a tub" and she smiled and nodded as she got his ice cream. After I walked up to the till to pay

"That's £4.35 please" I smiled and tapped my card against the scanner after, picking up both our ice creams and handing tommys to him.

"Thank you have a nice rest of your day" the girl on the other side of the counter said

"thank you, you too" I said smiling at her and turning to get a table with tommy.

"chocolate. Are you serious" I said laughing at him as I sat down

"what!?" he said defensively

"That's so boring, out of all the ones you could of picked. Thomas simons got the most boring one"

"Hey it's not boring, it's a classic favourite to many" he said getting a mini scoop of ice cream from the mini spoon she had given us.

"yeah yeah ok, your so vanilla"

"what do you mean vanilla, I got chocolate y/n" and I rolled my eyes at the comment I had given him he very clearly didn't get. Soon he started to laugh again as soon as other subjects came into conversation.

I feel ok when I see you smile.
