The next day I took Xander to school then went off to work with Lizzie. We have a shorter day today so I'll be able to pick him up from school and go home. The day went by slow, I felt nervous and anxious to even go back to my house. The thought of running into my ex is making me go insane. Lizzie has been so sweet today though, she's been bringing me little notes after every scene just saying I love you. Then she brought me lunch when I went straight to my trailer not willing to eat. Just doing these small things and making me fall more in love with her. By the end of the day I was sitting in my car needing to pick up Xander from school. Some time passes and I hear a knock on my window. I look up thinking it's Lizzie, but instead see Tom smiling and waving at me. I roll my window down and raise a curious eyebrow at him. "Hey Tom, what's up?"

"Hey. I was wondering why you're just sitting out here in your car. You've been out here for a while, I just finished my last scene for the day" He chuckles leaning down on the opened window.

"Right. I've just been having a bad few days and now I'm about to go get my younger brother" I explain with a sigh, not going into detail about my situation.

"I'm sorry you've been having a bad few days mate. You have seen pretty down today" He looks away from the car quietly then looks back at me. "Hey you said your brother gets bullied right?"

"Yea. That's why I'm picking him up now. I'm hoping they see me and bugger off" I hum slightly annoyed. I watch as Tom goes the passenger side door and open the door. "What are you doing?"

He climbs in and shuts the door. "Coming with you"

"Why? Isn't your car here?" I query watching him put on his seatbelt.

"Yea but maybe If they see me too they'll leave him alone!" He smiles at me as I look at him confused.

"Fine. You can come along. I'll bring you back for your car then" He cheers making me laugh a little bit. I send Lizzie a quick text saying I'll pick her up after I get Xander and drop off Tom. Then I start the car and head off to Xanders school. We get there and I look over at Tom, "You know some of these kids might recognize us. Are you sure you want to come out with me?"

"I'm sure. You're my friend! And so is your little brother. I want to try and help" He smiles and gives me a thumbs up making me chuckle.

"You're my friend too, and I appreciate this mate. Let's go then, they're about to get out" I park his shoulder before taking off my seatbelt and quickly getting out of the car. He follows after me shortly, shutting his car door. We walk up to the gate where Xander usually walks out from and stand there waiting for school to get out for the day.

After a few minutes of me and Tom talking the school bell rings. Kids start pouring out of the classrooms around the school. I have my back turned to the gate still taking with Tom. Another few minutes pass and I hear Xander's voice, "Can you just give me my bag."

I turn around to see Xander standing with two boys slightly taller than him, one of them holding his backpack laughing. "You want your bag little British boy?"

"Why don't you take it from us then?"

I clench my jaw and quickly walk over to the three with Tom close behind. I place my hand on Xanders shoulder and glare at the two boys. "Why don't you give the kid his bag back. Or I'll be the one takin it." I cross my arms as Xander turns around.

"Y/n! Tom!" He looks over at Tom confused.

"Who are you?" One of the boys ask as the other one just stares at me wide eyed.

"I'm this little British boys older brother. I suggest you little twats bugger off and leave my brother alone. Or you won't like what happens next." I reach forward ripping Xanders bag from the one who spoke's hands.

"You know Tom Holland and Y/n Y/l/n!?" The one who's been silent finally speaks.

"Yea.." He says quietly. "My brother and his coworker.."

"Hey we new friends too Xander!" Tom laughs throwing his arm around the back of Xanders neck being buddy buddy.

"Now get lost shitheads. Let's go" I hand Xander his bag back and push them towards the car.

We climb into my car and start off towards set. "What if that made things worse?" Xander stays quietly from the backseat.

"If it does then we tell mum and dad and switch you schools. If it does get worse then I'm sorry in advance bud"

"It's ok.. I appreciate that you came to try and help" I see him smile sadly from the rear view mirror. Once we get to set we say bye to Tom and Lizzie comes up to the car looking a little pale.

She gets in the car taking a deep breath, "Hey darling. Are you ok? You're looking a bit pale" I reach over pressing the back of my hand to her forehead.

"I just started not feeling good. I had to go throw up before you came to get me.." She holds her stomach while buckling her seatbelt.

"It must be a bug. You feel kind of hot. I'll run you a bath and make us some soup to eat for dinner when we get to yours." I smile reaching over and kissing her cheek.

"Thank you my love" She smiles over at me then reaches into her bag grabbing a water. So I quickly head back to my house.

"Are you staying at Lizzie's again?" Xander asks as we pull up to my house.

"Probably. I don't want to be here right now. But I need some more clothes." I unbuckle my seatbelt, give Lizzie a kiss and get out of the car. "Stay here with Lizzie. I'll be right back!" I shut the door and quietly run inside. I pack myself another bag and head back out to the car. "Do you want to stay for dinner Xander or want me to take you home?" I query looking back at him making him look up from his phone.

"Um... I think I'll just go home. I need to do my homework and some chores" He smiles as I nod in response.

I drive him back to my parents house, say bye and head over to Lizzie's house. I get out and open the door for her smiling. Once we get inside I rush upstairs throwing my bag on the bed then I walk into the bathroom and turn on the water to the bath. A few minutes later I hear Lizzie walk into the room and hug me from behind. "Hey my love, the baths almost done"

I turn around smiling as she smiles softly back. "Thank you love. I don't know why I feel like crap now. I was fine most of the day" She shrugs crossing her arms.

"Well I'll make sure to help you feel better" I kiss her softly and start taking off her shirt as she looks at me confused.

"You know I can undress myself right?" She giggles lifting her arms up so I can pull her shirt over her head.

"I know, I'm helping" I shrug with a playful smirk across my face.

"I love you but I'm not in the mood silly" She giggles again, playfully pushing me back.

"I know darling, I wasn't going to try anything. Just helping" I grab the waistband of her pants and pull her towards me. "But fine you don't want my help" I pout and reach behind her unhooking her bra with one hand.

"Wha- hey! How'd you do that!?" She furrows her eyebrows at me making me laugh.

"I'll never tell" I lean down and kiss her softly. "Now I'll go make some dinner while you relax in the bath" I chuckle, leaving the bathroom. I make us soup for dinner and sit with her after we're finished. We cuddle on the couch for a few hours before heading up to bed hoping she'll feel better in the morning.
