K A N E ' S - P O V
I lay in Tom's arms after a while of him trying to calm me down. he was asleep.
I fiddled with the lapel pin.
I was pretty tired.
It took Tom a good half-an-hour to finally get me to stop speaking fast and to stop jumping around.
I was a little confused too though. i felt like i got a little too excited a while ago; over a pin.. but after all, it is from a war hero.
Bill was asleep on the other side of the bed. I was in Tom's arms, with Bill beside me. the two were practically knocked out.
I looked over to Tom's phone.
buzzing, once again.
I pouted, and grabbed it before heading to my bathroom. I closed the door behind me, holding his phone to my ear.
"hey, Tom is asleep. you want me to talk to him? whoever this is, he's been avoiding your calls."
"ah, and who are you, sweetheart?"
I furrowed my eyebrows. "Kane."
"well, kane, theres a few things you should know about beloved Tommy. yeah?"

T O M ' S - P O V
I sighed, my eyes slowly opening.
I looked down, to no Kirsty.
I looked over to Bill, asleep beside me. this cunt was 100% passed out. I patted his back, and slid out of bed.
I stimbled forward, rubbing my eye as i looked around the room.
where was my phone?
I pulled my dreads up from my shoulders, tying them up as i put on my beanie, then cap.
i lifted the pillow beneath Bill's head as he groaned.
"sorry," i spoke, putting it back beneath his head as i kneeled down.
I checked under the bed, to nothing.
I looked on the desk, under the desk, in the drawers, on the floor, anywhere i could.
It was.. gone?
I groaned, going silent.
I heard a voice from the bathroom.
a tearful, broken voice. one thats in disbelief.
"Kirsty?" I mumbled, approaching the bathroom as i pushed open the door.
there she was.
sitting on the edge of the bathtub, her head in her hands with my phone beside her.
she slowly looked up at me.
"look, kirsty, I-" I stuttered, gently grabbing her arm as she got up.
"don't. don't.. fucking touch me." she shook her head, her eyebrows furrowed as she backed away.
"love, whatever he told you i swear, i sw-"
she slapped me across the face, tears in her eyes.
"how could you stand there, and continue to lie to me, Tom?"
"what the fuck is wrong with you?" I stepped forward, raising a hand in anger as she immediately flinched.
she backed into the wall, looking up at me with wide eyes.
"your.. your a monster?" she whispered.
"I'm-I'm not a monster?" I shook my head, reaching for her as she pushed my hand away.
I took a step back, shaking my head at the thoughts of myself as i exited the bathroom.
what is wrong with me?
I looked over to Bill, now awake.
he stared at me.
"home, now." I muttered.
"I fucking told you to tell her the truth, Tom."
"Bill, go fucking home!" I groaned in furstration, my fist slamming down on her desk as Bill furrowed his eyebrows.
"I can barely fucking recognise you.
-you have changed. what the fuck happened to my older brother? because you are not him." Bill whispered, hitting my shoulder with his as he stopped at the doorframe.
"you don't deserve her."
