we'll be the stars [tommyinnitxreader] (book 2/3)

chapter 1

Recap

"Reach for the stars tommyinnit," the lights grew dimmer and all faded to black.

And so with that, our story came to an end, or did it?

y/n's pov

Light shone through my window, god that's bright. I sat up and noticed I was in a hospital room. Did my cancer cause this? Only seconds later doctors and nurses were rushing into the room, "oh my god! y/n you're awake!" I looked around confused, "uh, what's going on?" my mum comes over to me, "hunny, you were in a coma.." what? "For how long mum?" she looks down, "3 years almost, you got hit by a car the day before your 15th birthday and your 18th birthday is in a week," i started crying, "i was- i was hit by a car?" my mum nods, "mum, where are we, like what country," she looked at me confused, "we are in america, we have been since you were 11 dear," all of my memories come flooding back.

I was leaving my childhood home, we were moving to the US and leaving the UK, and Tommy. He told me that we'd meet again. Everyday after moving was a living hell.. I remember now- then when I was turning 15 me and mum were shopping for our trip to the UK that summer, it was a birthday gift from her and dad. I walked out into the road, the next thing I knew everything was black.

Still being in the UK must have all been a dream. Nothing was real, except my feelings for Tommy. We never kissed, I never had cancer, I never told him I loved him. It was all my imagination. I didn't want to wake up, I wanted to go back to sleep and relive it all, even Reece and his toxic ass, hell even having cancer. I wouldn't change anything about it. I would rather live in a messed up world where I still had Tommy than this one where I don't get to feel his presence.

"y/n?" I snapped out of my thoughts, "we have to get you home, so can you get up for me?" I hum in response and try standing up. My legs were shaky as i hadn't stood up for 3 years but after a few seconds everything was stable. "What have you got that I can change into mum?" she hands me a bag of clothes, "it's not much, but it's what i could get on such short notice, we are going shopping tomorrow, oh and seeing as you've missed school for 3 years you won't have to worry, we have you online so you can finish whenever, or you can just drop out if you want," i sigh, "i'll stick with online, i do want to be able to go to a college," i take the bag of clothes and head to the bathroom to change.

Inside the bag was a pair of white sweatpants, a white spaghetti strap tank top, a grey and white jumper, white socks, and white tennis shoes.

I liked the outfit, it was nice. I grabbed the bag and hospital gown and set the gown in the hamper there. I walked out of the bathroom to see my mum and dad waiting with their things for me. "Ready to go?" I nodded at them and we left the hospital. It was funny, I had just left the hospital in my dream and was sitting on the roof with Tommy. Now I'm leaving the hospital to go to my home in America. Life is cruel sometimes...

As we get into the car my mum hands me my phone, "here darling, although i'm not sure if you'll get much life out of it, we also have to get you a new phone when we go out tomorrow," i nod and switch it on, almost instantly it starts vibrating and going crazy. I opened up snapchat first, my group chat with cassie and nate were the first messages i opened.

besties<3

cas<3: wow, i can't believe it's been 3 years... i miss her so much

nate<3: i can't believe after 3 years you're still using this group chat

cas<3: well not like you have much room to talk, you never deleted it!

nate<3: well- just shut up

*y/n is typing*

cas<3: huh?

nate<3: wtf

cas<3: its probs her mom telling us something

y/n: okay, well sure it has been 3 years, so i have missed a lot, but why are you guys being so rude to each other?

cas<3: y/n! Omg you're awake!!

nate<3: call us soon! We need to catch up, mk?

y/n: i will, i love you guys!

cas<3: love you too n/n!!

I close the group and open my other messages, all of them being along the lines of, "we miss you and are wishing you the best, come back to us soon!" or some other cheesy bullshit. I close my snapchat and open instagram where i have even more notifications. Apparently mum made a post on my instagram letting people know where i was and it went crazy! I had thousands of comments and messages, I sighed, I'll post tomorrow about it on everything. I closed instagram and opened my messages, one stood out, it was Tommy's mum.

*unknown number*

Un: Hello dear, I'm not sure if you remember us, but it's mrs. Simons, Tom's mother. I just wanted to tell you that we are sending you our good wishes, I hope that you wake up soon, and I'm sorry your trip here was cancelled, Tom would've loved seeing you again.. Also happy birthday dear..
*december 11th, 2019*

Un: Sending another message, tom's made a youtube account and it's doing pretty well! Again we are sending you good wishes!
*january 1st 2020*

Un: Tom's made a twitch, he blew up in late march! I would've texted you then but i couldn't bring myself to... love you dearest and happy birthday!
*december 11th, 2020*

Un: We miss you dearest...
*november 11th, 2021*

I changed her contact name in my phone to mrs. Simons and quickly type out a message.

y/n: Mrs. Simons, I'm so incredibly happy that you all were thinking about me during this time! And I'm very proud of Tommy for doing what he loves! Tell him that I'm missing him as well, and feel free to text me whenever!!

I closed out of the chat and turned off my phone.

"We're home love," my dad says, shaking me awake. I hummed and got out of the car, I didn't realise how tired I was. I headed into our house and up to my room, it was refreshing. I flopped onto my bed and sighed. I'll have to get new stuffs for my room when we go out tomorrow, it's still so childish.. And with that final thought I closed my eyes and drifted off into sleep.

a/n: hello dearests! Are you excited that i'm back??? I hope so!!
