All Time Low - A The Wanted FanFic

Chapter Two

Tom's P.O.V.

The bouquet of roses reaches the floor at the same time as my tears do.

"N-Nathan?!" 

He seems to be distracted from the girl he's with in our bed.

"T-Tom?! What are you doing here?!" He asks, wrapping a sheet around his waist.

"W-What are you doing?" I whisper, tears starting to fall faster and faster.

"Thomas, I swear this isn't what it looks like." He pleads. I shake my head. 

This is what you get for falling in love.

I start to leave, but Nathan grabs my arm. 

"Please, Thomas...I love you." He begs, tears in his eyes.

The girl, beautiful, obviously rich, plus completely nude, and maybe a year or two younger than Nathan, grabs his other arm and rubs up against it.

I feel a pang of hurt in my heart.

Ouch.

Nathan quickly yanks his arm away, making her scowl. 

Definitely an unattractive look on her.

She glares. "I thought you loved me."

Nathan turns on her, a fury dancing in his eyes that almost made me shiver. "Get," He seethes, but tries to hide it. "Out." He hisses, and she squeaks, collects her things, and leaves. "I should be going, too, I wouldn't want to disturb you." I say, pulling my arm back and heading for the door.

"Wait, Tom!" Nathan yells, pulling on a pair of briefs and jeans. "Tom, wait!" He says, following me down the stairs while pulling a shirt on. "We can talk about this." He pleads as I unlock the front door. "There's nothing to talk about, Nathan. I let you into my heart and you decided to remind me why I didn't do that in the first place." I said, walking down the hallway, the slap of Nathan's bare feet on the hardwood floors behind me. "Thomas..." Nathan grabs my arm, spinning me around to face him. "Please. I love you, I live for you. Without you...I'm nothing." He chokes, and I stare at him in disbelief. 

He's a liar.

I shake my head, and his lips part, as if he were preparing to respond to me. "Apparently not." I hiss, and I yank my arm back, and sprint for the elevator.

"Thomas!!" Nathan shouts, chasing after me. I reach the elevator and it opens, thankfully completely empty. I couldn't bear to explain this to Paul. I frantically slam on the ground floor button, Nathan just catching up. "I'm sorry..." I choke, falling to my knees. 

He skids to a stop, his eyes sad and hurt. 

My heart finally breaks, splitting in half.

"I love you."

And then the doors close.
