New Friends

Chapter Six

Tom's POV

No one knew really what to do in the moment. I wanted to help her some how but Haz was closest next to her and he already took action by holding her hair back as she let it all out. Everyone was worried and had no idea why she was throwing up. She stood over the sink with Haz holding her hair back for about 3 minutes. Then she stood there for a little while waiting to make sure nothing more was coming. Haz put the water on to wash it down the drain and let go of her hair in the process. "Are you ok y/n? What happened?" Zara took a step closer to her. "Yeah are you feeling ok?" Ella echoed right behind Zara. I walked over next to Haz getting closer to y/n. "Darling, do you know what this is from?" I touched the back of her arm slightly rubbing it for comfort. Harrison was watching me come close with a worried look on his face. Everyones eyes were on her.
"I don't know, I didn't eat anything but that pizza today, I think I'm ok now I just feel....weak I guess." She leaned on the edge of her counter as I let my touch slide off of her. Everyone backed away from her to give her some space. I stayed behind her to be safe.

"Well, you should probably go rest and put some ice on your back and maybe drink some water." Ella said, looking from me to y/n. "Yeah and maybe Harrison and Tom should leave cause I don't think this was a good idea and we could leave to." Zara grabbed her purse and handed Ella hers. "Yeah that is probably a good idea except we can't all leave y/n cause she can barely walk and she said she feels weak." Haz walked closer to me and her. Y/n was very quiet and still, leaning up against her counter while I stood right behind her. She straightened her body and turned around. Our faces were inches apart and I could feel her small breathes on my face. I smiled and she quickly turned her head to look at everyone else. "Everyone please stop. You guys don't have to leave, I may not be feeling well but don't make me the reason to cancel your fun, I would feel worse if I was the reason for you all to leave. You guys can stay, and I'll just go to my bed and rest for awhile. I'll be okay, I promise you all." She started towards her bedroom which was behind the curtains just around the corner on the right of the kitchen. She gripped everything she could to keep herself up and moving.

Ella went over to one side of her entangling one of her arms with hers. Zara went up on the opposite side and did the same. I stood there and looked at Haz as we both watched the two girls help her to her bed. "Ok if you insist we will stay but don't you dare refuse our help!" Ella looked at her with a stern look on her face. "Yeah don't be a stubborn little tough lady who thinks she can take care of herself!!" Zara looked between y/n and Ella. Me and Haz had to laugh a little. They were all to funny and cute together! Y/n looked like she was getting scolded by a couple of young mum's! They both seemed to care a lot about her. She just seemed like a person you automatically want to care about. She has such a big kind heart. I want to be a person she cares about not just care about her. But we barely know each other and I haven't even gotten the chance to be her friend yet. I don't want to rush into anything.

Zara and Ella finished helping her into her bed and Zara went to go get her an ice pack while Ella was starting to pick out some board games with Haz. I approached Zara and started cleaning up the dishes and pizza. "Zara, if you don't mind I would like to help you with y/n!" I stared at her hoping she didn't think I was being weird and for a yes in return. "Um.. yeah i mean you could but I'm not really sure if there is much she needs other than this ice so here." She handed the ice pack to me and pointed to y/n's bedroom, then she winked at me and walked towards Haz and Ella. I was confused as to why she winked but I knew what she meant. So I walked behind the curtains dividing y/n's room from the living room.

Your POV

I was sitting in my bed waiting for Zara to give me ice when Tom walked in. He had the ice pack and was coming closer to me. "What are you doing Tom? You should be spending time with my friends and Haz. I'll be fine!" I crossed my arms for a second with a mad look on my face. "I know, but I feel bad leaving you and having fun so I wanted to help. So, here let me put this on you." He offered up the ice pack in his hand and looked at me with a sweet yet questioning smile. I started to try and lift the back of my shirt up for him to put the ice on me. I glanced at him in his eyes. He slowly came closer taking the end of my shirt and slowly helping me pull it up. Our eyes never left each other until he put the ice pack right on top of my bruise. "Aaahh.. ow. T..Thanks." I scrunched my face in pain. He had a worried look on his face again. Just like he had in the car ride to the hospital. "No worries darling, I'm sorry. Do you need anything else?" His gaze deeply longing inside my eyes to what it seemed like he wanted me to say yes. All I wanted was my favorite blue blanket to wrap myself in since I didn't wanna unmake my bed. "Uh.. could you please just grab my blue blanket on the couch over there?" I expressed with a pleading look.

"Of course!" He walked through the curtains to the couch grabbed it and came back. He handed it to me and when I grabbed it our hands touched. He smiled and I giggled but quickly looked away. "Here let me help, it's ok love, I got you. Just lean into me." He went behind me and gently put his hands on my shoulders as I draped the blanket over, leaning on his hands for support. He then removed his hands and helped me wrap the rest of the blanket onto my body. "Thank you Tom." I smiled a bit and we held eye contact for a few seconds before he smiled back and walked into the living room as I laid against the pillows on the head board. I wanted to stay awake to here them laughing, talking, and having a good time together but no matter how hard I tried I couldn't keep my eyes from closing in heavy. The next thing I knew I wasn't conscious but peacefully asleep.

Tom's POV

I sat on the couch with Haz while Ella and Zara sat in chairs playing board games. We were all laughing and having a good time talking. Haz seemed quite interested in Ella and Zara was starring at me a bit but I wasn't interested in her. I think she knew that. "Tom, how was y/n when you gave her that ice pack?" Zara gazed toward me with a concerned look. "She seemed really out of it, in pain and just not that good." I looked at Haz after quickly glancing in Zara's direction when answering her. Haz and I held eye contact sort of communicating with our face expressions. Ella broke our communication. "I think she will be fine, she is one of the strongest people I know, but I also know we should probably wrap this hang out time up cause regardless of what she said we should probably give her the rest of tonight to rest peacefully." She got up and went over to the kitchen island grabbing her purse and Zara's. Haz and me got up with them and we gave them quick hugs . Everyone quietly walked over into the entrance of y/n's bedroom to say goodbye but no one did cause she was asleep. She was kind of curled up into a ball sitting up against her pillows on the head board of her bed. As soon as I saw this I couldn't take my eyes off her. She just looked like the cutest human being I've ever seen and all I wanted to do was give her the biggest hug but I couldn't.

Haz's POV

We all went into y/n's bedroom to say goodbye but she was asleep. I looked over at Tom who had the biggest puppy dog eyes ever on display. He just stood there and stared. I never seen him do that before and it was kind of starting to get creepy! I smiled at Ella and then hit Tom's arm to snap him out of it. "Ow Haz what you do that for?" Tom looked at me confused. "Dude you were starring." I said in a whisper so the girls couldn't hear. The girls laughed at us. We all walked out the door together.

Tom's POV

Haz hit me in the arm cause apparently I was starring at y/n. Then we walked out of her apartment with the girls. "Bye Ella and Zara nice hanging out!" I smiled and glanced between the two. "Yeah we had a good time." Haz said with a big grin. "I'm glad, and yeah we had a good time to!" Zara looked towards Ella waiting for her to send us off. "We should do this again but you know... when y/n is feeling better!" Ella smiled and went in to hug Haz which made Zara hug me and then the opposite. We walked down the hall into the elevator and then came out and walked to the car and me and Haz started to drive away.

My phone started buzzing a lot. I opened it to see a bunch of comments on y/n's recent post having to do with me. I have gotten a lot of questions already but today it's getting worse and i don't know what to do. I sigh real loud not noticing cause I'm instantly stressed by all of it. "Tom, what's wrong?" Haz gazes between me and the road. "Well, cause of you exposing me with your comment on y/n's post I've been getting a lot of questions from all the people that saw it!"  My voice gets kind of quiet. All the sudden a comment from a guy pops up. My mouth drops open. I can't believe my eyes! It's from a guy named Drew.....🤯 What the f🤬
