Love Has No Boundaries (Straight Furry Fanfiction)

Chapter 17: You Are Loved

Rebecca's P.o.V

I was sitting in the living room, watching my favourite show when I heard a knock at the door. "I'll get it Derek" I shouted getting up and slowly walking to the door. I opened it and was instantly hugged and looked down to see Tom. I heard him crying and asked, "Are you okay Tom?". He looked up at me and his mouth and head was bleeding. I gasped and closed the door. "What happened Tom?" I asked as he fell to the ground. I saw his left calf had blood pouring from it. "Can you walk?" I asked but he shook his head and got on his knees. "Derek, get down here now!" I shouted up the stairs. I heard a door open and Derek's voice say, "What's wrong sweetheart?" "It's an emergency, hurry up and get down here" I said and he rushed downstairs. "Tommy, what happened?" He asked, instantly getting down and helping him up. "I-I was attacked. I was with E-Emily" he said. Derek led him to the sofa as I got the first aid kit from the kitchen. I rushed back in and Tom had tears in his eyes. "Where's Emily now?" Derek asked as I took a cloth to Tom's head to clean the blood off it. "I-I don't know. I think I went into a protective state a-and I... Oh god, I bit him. I scared her" he said and I looked at Derek but he gave me a confused face for the response. "Bit who?" I asked cleaning his chin.

"Joe Jackson" he said after a long silence and I gasped with fear for Tom's safety. "Stan will sue our family if he finds out it was you" Derek said but Tom shook his head. "I-I ripped parts of his neck out, I think I killed him" Tom said and now I was afraid of Tom so, I got up and moved behind Derek. "He'll try and kill you then Tommy" Derek said and sat next to him. "But why did you do it?" I asked and he looked down and said, "To protect Emily. I didn't want those m-monsters to hurt her. But now I realise, I-I'm the monster. She'll never speak to me again" he said hugging Derek. I sat back next to him and also hugged him. "It's okay Tom, she will talk to you again, you just scared her is all. I would be scared if I was her but I would have known why you did it. And I would forgive you" I said and he smiled slightly. But his smile didn't last long. "What if I did kill him? Sh-she would blame me for it" he said hugging me tightly. Derek got up and went out the room. I heard him dial someone and I rubbed Tom's back. "Do you want me or Derek to go and get Emily so you can talk to her?" I asked but he was quick to respond. "No! I don't want to scare her again. I'm a monster, a-a freak, a freak that should never had been born. I don't deserve to be loved" he said and I was shocked that he thought this about himself. "No Tom, you're not a monster. You saved her, a monster wouldn't do that" I said. "And a hero wouldn't bite her brother" he said and I sighed. "Joe's alive but barely. He lost so much blood but is alive" Derek said walking back in. "What about Emily?" Tom asked. "She went home" Derek said and I looked at Tom who had a bit more life on his face. "Okay, c-can I stay here tonight? Please" he asked and I smiled at him. "Of course you can, stay as long as you like" I said and kissed his head to comfort him. "Okay, I'm going to go back upstairs and continue on the baby's room" Derek said leaving. "I'll show you where you can sleep" I said and Tom got up. I led him to the guest room and he hugged me before I closed the door.

Tom's P.o.V

I had texted mum to let her know where I was and was calling Emily. "Oh Tom, are you okay?" She said. "I'm fine Emily. But I've been thinking about this and... I don't think we should be together" I said and I heard her gasp. "What, why not Tom? Don't you love me?' She said. "I do love you but I'm a freak, a danger to everyone, no matter if I love them or not" I said. "Where are you Tom, I need to see you" she said. "I'm at Derek's and Rebecca's but don't come here, I don't want to scare you. Or worse, hurt you" I said crying slightly. "No, I'm coming over and you can't stop me" she said hanging up. I sat and cried for a bit, upset about what I had just done. It was about 20 minutes before there was a knock on the door. I heard it open and muffled voices. There was a knock on my door and I opened it and was hugged. "Tom, what happened?" Emily said. "I said don't come here. Please let go, I don't want to hurt you" I said but she hugged me tighter and wrapped her tail round me. "I'm never letting go, I love you Tom" she said but I took her arms off and sat down on my bed. "I'm not loved by anyone. I don't deserve love. I'm a monster" I said but she jumped on me, pushing me down and sitting on me. "You are loved Tom, never say that you aren't because you are" she said. "But I scared you Emily, I could see it on your face. You were terrified of me" I said but she shook her head. "It wasn't your fault, I was scared of you and the attackers. I'm sorry that they drove you to do that, but I know that you did it to protect me. I could see by the friendly look on your face as you walked towards me" she said. I looked over and smiled slightly. "Thanks Emily. I'm sorry about what I said, I didn't want to scare you again. I didn't want to hurt you or anyone else ever again" I said and she kissed me. "I forgive you for attacking Joe. He shouldn't have been attacking you but you did almost kill him" she said and I looked down again. "I know, and I'm so sorry" I said and she got up. "Well, I'm going to go home. Do you want to come?" She asked but I shook my head. "I'm gonna stay here tonight" I said. "Okay, bye Tom. See you tomorrow?" She asked and I nodded before she shut my door. I got ready for bed and got in it and fell asleep.

Timeskip to Morning

I woke up and sat up. My leg still hurt so I sat there for a bit. I got up after a few minutes and limped out of the room and downstairs. "Morning Tommy, want some porridge?" Derek said and I nodded and sat down. "You feel better?" He asked. "Yeah, a bit. My leg still hurts" I said and rubbed my eyes. "We'll you did walk from the park to here with that wound. It's quite far when you think about it" he said and I chuckled. "I think it was the fear that kept me going" I said. "Can you get some bowls out, they're in that cupboard" he said pointing with his foot. I went over and got them out and opened a draw to find some spoons. "Hey, do you-" I started but he cut me off. "The chocolates in that one" he said pointing and I laughed. "See, I know how you think Tommy" Derek said as I got the chocolate out. "Morning sweetie" Rebecca said hanging on the back of Derek. "Hey Tom" she said and I waved and sat down. "So, porridge for breakfast. You know me so well" she said kissing him and I thought about where I was going to meet Emily. "Okay, the porridge is done" Derek said and emptied it into the bowls. He handed me mine and I put a bit of chocolate in it to make it better. "So Tom, have you started on that drawing yet?" Rebecca asked and I nodded and swallowed. "I've got you and half of Derek done, as well and the outline of me and half of Jake. I need to wait for a bit so I know what you child looks like" I said putting another spoonful of porridge in my mouth. "Thanks Tommy, but one question. When it's done, can we have a copy of it to frame and put up somewhere?" Derek asked and I nodded. "The original one is going to be framed and given to mum and dad" I said and he smiled. "I think they would like that" he said. "I'm sure they would Derek, but we have to wait for our child first" Rebecca said.
