we had the stars [tommyinnitxreader] (book 3/3)

alternate endings part 1

y/n pov, choice one:

"I choose..." I almost regretted my choice for a moment, as i was looking at the face of the person i wasn't choosing, i scanned the hope in his eyes, the fear, and i almost changed my mind, almost. "I choose tommy.." as schlatt's face fell ever so slightly, he smiled, "i know, i knew the second you said you didn't know who to pick, but y/n, i love you, i just wanted you to know, and i'll be taking a week away, if that's okay..'' I nodded and he stood up and left.

As I was walking to the park to meet Tommy I almost wanted to cry. I knew schlatt would be hurt, I just hoped we could be friends, even after everything.. He was one of the first people who truly made me feel safe.. So losing him would be so painful.. And I know that's selfish, but god do I hope he doesn't hate me..

I found my way to the park bench Tommy and I always sat on for our serious talks. After a few minutes Tommy came and sat next to me. As soon as I told him who I was going to pick his face lit up, I smiled and he kissed me. As everything else faded away, I knew I made the right choice.

A few years down the line and were as happy as can be. But the thought about how different my life could be if I chose the other was always in the back of my mind.

Tommy had become extremely famous, my books were doing well, I even wrote a sequel to "stars and sunsets" which did extremely well. Schlatt and I are still best friends, he met someone amazing, and they are happy together. I'm happy for them.

"Hey y/n?" Tommy says, looking at me, "yeah tommy?" he smiles, "you know, back then, we never would have believed that we became the stars," i smiled, the rest of my life i would be this happy, because what he did next changed everything for the better.

As he got down on one knee, he looked lovingly into my eyes, "y/n Heart, will you make me the happiest man in the world, take my last name, and have me love you for the rest of your life? Will you marry me?" I started crying, "nothing in the world would make me happier tommy..."

~time skip~

It was the day of the wedding. We decided to have it in california, to commemorate my mom, and my dad. Before heading to the wedding venue, Clay decided we should get something to eat. Well, something sweet, like ice cream. So we pulled into the parking lot of the oh so familiar mall. I wanted to cry, because the pain of losing 3 years of my own life, and both of my parents came rushing over me. I haven't been here since that dark day 6 years ago.. I stepped out onto the pavement, "y/n, are you okay?" Clay asked beside me, "no, but I will be.." he hugged me and we walked to the store. I realized I left my phone, "I'll be right back! I left my phone in the car," he nodded and went inside while I ran back to grab my phone.

Unfortunately before I reached the car though, something hit me. Everything was black, until a sudden flash brought me back. I slowly opened my eyes and saw the faces I wanted to see the most. My mother and father.. The two of them were crying, but smiling. I stood up, "hi my beautiful girl," my dad said, tears rushing down his face, "dad? Wha- what happened?" my mum shook her head, "shh, i don't want to tell you yet, but just know it'll be okay, okay?" I nodded, still unsure of what happened. "Mum.. i'm so happy to see you.." she wrapped her arms around me. We were all crying now. "Okay... now, look... look down.." my dad says. I do..

There, on the ground, was me... was my body.. I looked around and I saw a crowd gathering around.. "Oh..." I said, my smile fading. "I'm dead aren't i?" they nodded and pulled me into another hug, "it'll be okay hun, i promise.." my mum says. "We are here, and we're not going anywhere.." my dad says after my mum. "y/n?" I hear from behind the crowd, "y/n where are you?" I move to the voice. Clay... it was clay. He noticed the crowd and pushed through them. "No...." he says, tears forming in his eyes.. "No no no!" he was crying now..

My face sank, and I cried with him. I wanted to just hug him and never let go.. But I can't now.. I was dead, and I wasn't coming back. "y/n?" my dad says.. "I- i just..." I ran my hands over my face. Then, I suddenly remembered that Tommy was waiting for me. I was supposed to get married to him today. And suddenly I'm in the room with him. He was adjusting his tie, pulling and pushing it so it sits just right. And then his phone rings. He looked at it, picked up, "hello?" After a few seconds he drops the phone, and then he collapses. Oh tommy... I thought to myself... "she can't be dead, there's- NO! I..." he was trying to compose himself, but it clearly wasn't working.. He was sobbing, and then schlatt walked through the door...

"Tommy? What- what happened?" Tommy couldn't speak.. He couldn't even breathe, from what I saw..

"she- she's dead.." he finally managed to get out. Schlatt's face fell. "What?" he asked breathlessly..

We had the stars.. I thought as i sobbed into my knees. I felt my parents wrap their arms around me as i cried..

The end...
