falling, tom holland

034. still beating

first, they visited the museum per juliet's pleads. it was funnier than expected for him. he thought it would of been boring, but juliet made it seem fun. they'd make fun of how some people in paintings looked, saying 'that's how i look in the morning,' or 'that kinda looks like ant.' normally, at a museum, it'd be quiet, with them around it was not quiet.

neither took anything seriously. especially when sebastian was taking photos of her and he'd make comments like 'you go girl,' 'that's it work it,' or her person favorite, 'show them you're better.' juliet loved having him around though, it was like a breathe of fresh air.

next, they went to the resturant of his choice. it was nice despite the constant whispers. oh how they could not wait for the articles they'd see in the morning, honestly they could not wait. as the sat at their table, like any normal person, they looked around. the first person she spotted was sam, tom's brother, he was with harry. she prayed they didn't see them, but they did.

he even waved at her before going on his phone. sebastian noticed as well. "watch it be he's telling tom." he laughed, "oh shit."

she shrugged, "if he does, he does. i don't care. i'm happy." he nodded seeing as she shrugged it off. hearing that she was happy, with him? god this woman made his heart flutter. the waitor came to take their orders; he ordered a steak with wine, she got a pasta dish with wine aswell.

the dinner went amazing, they got to know each other even more. it felt nice, seeing as the whatever they are, is going at it's own pace. of course she'd thought of kissing him that night they danced, but she didn't. she couldn't.

a part of her still ached for him, if only a part of his ached too.

after dinner, sebastian payed while juliet tipped. the two walked out laughing at something he said. walking down the steps onto the sidewalk she bumps into something, or rather someone.

"oh shit, my bad." the man said his accent seeming familiar. they both looked up to see who they bumped into. sebastian was the first to notice. "no problem dude."

"yeah, it's fine tom." she smiled; her smile made his heart flutter. at first, tom didn't pay much attention to the two. just friends going out he thought. well until he saw them holding hands. juliets eyes followed his and immediately let go.

she cleared her throat, "i just saw sam and harry. are you meeting them?" she asked trying to clear the tension.

he smiled as he looked down nodding, "uh yeah? i mean yes." he looked back up looking between the two. "are you two?"

"no." she replied not letting sebastian say anything. he took notice to how the two looked at each other, and in that moment knew; no matter what he'd always be second to the actor, and he accepted that knowing he could change it. "how's you and zendaya?"

tom glanced at sebastian, "may i speak with you alone, juliet?" sebastian turned to her and she nodded, "i'll go inside to the bar."

"so?" she started, "want to walk around?" he nodded and followed the blonde around the street. the two began to have small talk until tom switched topics;

"i'm really sorry juliet, i really am. of course i get what she was doing then. and the feelings i had for her," they both stopped and completely turned facing each other, "they were platonic. we both know that now. i hate myself everyday for how i treated you."

he paused trying to read her blank face, of course the second she feels like she's moving on, this shit happens. "tom-"

he cuts her off, "love."

she cuts him off this time, "no you can't ruin this for me. i was finally moving on tom." she said, trying to put into words how she couldn't believe this was happening.

"juliet im in love with you. do you not feel the same anymore?" he questions.

"yes. no." she sighs, "of course i have thomas." she confesses.  "but why now? why start this now."

he turned to see sebastian watching the two from a window, "my heart beats for you everywhere i go. seeing you on the internet l, seeing you with someone else makes me feel things. juliet you make me feel emotions ive never felt with anyone else."

"now you're just copying my words." she jokes.

he laughs at the girl, "pretty sure it was me, but believe what you want to believe love."

"what's wrong?" he asks seeing as her laughs have tuned into complete silence.

"i'm with sebastian now, tom" she revealed, his mouth hangs open as he nods.

he hums in response, "i shouldof known. fuck i'm sorry. shit." he paces while his hands resign on his head. "i'm sorry. so fucking sorry."

she hugs him, "it's okay tom, i'll always love you k? its just, i've fallen for him now." his eyes start to water, hers too. sebastian walks down the steps near the two. she sees him, "bye tom, take care."

so tom watches the love of his life walk away with his once friend, if only he never let her get away.
