Song for this chapter:

Don't be cruel - Billy Swan

"Don't be cruel to a heart that's true"

The boys walk through the door placing the groceries on the counter and Harry immediately going to the fridge. I turn to look at Tom with a saddened look, hearing what Harrison was saying made sense considering all the new press about his new solo Spider-man movie and all these upcoming opportunities for him but it hurt. Thinking about how close we were already after just a couple days of knowing each other is really different for me, it's never happened for me before. I've met and dated with plenty of people that couldn't care less about my presence, but this is totally different. From the get go it was like we've been friends for ages and like Harrison said it's probably better if it stays that way.

"You all good Maisie?" Tom asks with a furrowed brow.

"Yeah!" I say shaking myself out of my gaze. "Yeah I'm fine" I smile.

I can tell he doesn't quite believe me but he brushes it off and starts taking the food out of the carrier bags onto the counter.

"Okay, so we have some food for breakfast tomorrow and dinner tonight because we thought we could go out for lunch of something tomorrow and sight see a little bit. How does that sound?" Sam says clapping his hands together.

"Sounds good to me" Harrison replies

"Good with me too" I follow.

"Good because that was the plan and you didn't really have a choice" Harry says shutting the fridge and walking around to sit on the couch between Harrison and I.

"Alright then, who's going to help make dinner?" Tom asks.

"Well not me, I just sat down" Harry laughs

"Yeah I'm going to have to tap out of this one as well" Sam says walking over to the lounge chair and plopping down.

"Well I guess I can help" I say smiling and hopping up to walk over to the kitchen. Unexpectedly I hear another voice come from behind me.

"I'll help too" Harrison says getting up from the couch and walking over to the bench.

"Brilliant! We'll have everything done in no time then" Tom smiles. I give him a forced grin and a nod. I know he knows something's not quite right so he gives me a little nod as to ask if I'm okay, I once again nod in reply.

"Hey I'm just going to head to the toilet quickly and then we can get started" I say, the boys both agree to start making dinner whilst I head to the bathroom. I lock myself in and take a look at myself in the mirror. What Harrison said is really getting to me, but I need to act like there's nothing wrong because I know for a fact Tom's going to start asking more questions soon. I take a deep breath and pull out my phone.
