Y/N's POV:
"I'm home Tommy!" i called, shutting the front door behind me.
I placed my bags down on the kitchen counter, taking my coat off.
No answer.
"Tom?" i called again.
I listened carefully and heard the shower running.
That's why.
I grabbed my phone and opened twitter, as i grabbed a glass and filled it with water.
I leant against the side, sipping my drink and scrolling through my feed.
What?
I tapped on the tweet, seeing the photos attached.
Tom Holland caught with Zendaya! Photos below:

I dropped the glass, hearing it shatter by my feet.
I completely ignored Tom's call to see if i was there, only just having gotten out of the shower.
Out of the corner of my eye i saw him walk in.
"N/n what happe-"
He looked down and saw the smashed glass.
I just looked up at him, my eyes glazed over.
"Zendaya, huh?" i said, trying not to let my voice crack.
"What?" he asked.
I turned my phone around, the photo of them both, on the screen.
He looked up at me, about to say something.
"No. You don't get to say shitto me. I'm leaving." i said.
"Must've been a deadly kiss" i scoffed, pushing past him, grabbing my car keys, and walking out of the house.
"Y/n wait!" he called, chasing after me.
He grabbed my arm, in an attempt to turn me around.
"Don't touch me!" i yelled, shoving his arm off of me.
I got into my car and drive away, ignoring his yells for me to come back.
The further i drove, the higher count of missed calls i had from him.
"Only love can hurt like this..." i mumbled to myself.
10 minutes later i found myself back home. My first home.
I grabbed my phone from my car and knocked on the front door.
My dad opened the door.
I crashed into his shoulder, tears i didn't even know we're threatening, now falling.
Only love can hurt like this...
"Jellybean what's wrong?" he asked, pulling me inside and closing the door.
He wiped the tears from my face, a worried look on his face.
"He kissed her"
His face changed.
"And he didn't even deny it." i sniffed.
"That son of a-"
"Don't insult Nikki. It's not her fault that her son's a cheating asshole"
I turned and saw my mum.
"Come here sweetie" she said, opening her arms, which i soon found myself wrapped in.
"Only love can hurt like this..." she said to me.
"I thought he loved me? Why doesn't he love me?" i cried.
"I swear i'm gonna kill him" i heard my dad say.
Knock knock.
My dad opened the door.
"Is y/n here?"
"Get out of my face before i break yours" my dad said blankly.
Tom saw me, looking over my dad's shoulder.
"N/n i'm sorry let me explain!" he called.
I pushed past my dad and grabbed Tom by his collar, pushing him back, down the steps and to the front of the house.
"First of all, you don't get to call me that! Not anymore! Secondly, what's there to explain? You kissed Zendaya! In public!! That's all there is to it. Unless you slept with her too. Then by all means, explain it to me!" i yelled.
"Y/n i'm sorry! She kissed me first!"
"And you kissed her second? Get the hell away from me. You're lucky i didn't let my dad punch you." i said, turning around.
Fuck it.
I turned around and punched him. Right in the face.
"Go get Zendaya to kiss it better, asshole" i scoffed, walking back up to my front door, where i found my dad, having just watched the whole thing.
I didn't even turn around, i just shut the door.
"Do you think the punch was too far?" i asked.
My dad gave me confused look.
"Jellybean the punch was necessary. He had it coming. I'm glad you did it, otherwise i'd have a court case headed my way" he laughed.
"Oh yeah by the way i have glass in my foot" i said, remembering what happened earlier.
"Wha- What!"
"Yeah it really hurts now" i laughed, taking my shoe off, only then seeing how bad it was.
"Oh shit-"
It's safe to say my dad was horrified that i didn't tell him sooner.
And even more horrified when i told him the glass of dropped was the one he had gifted me, with my name engraved into the bottom of it.
