Toms P.O.V
I shut the door behind me and pull my coat closer around my body. Before I came out I took the key off the mantle piece so I lock it and then post it back through the letter box.
I sigh and spin on my heel so I’m facing the road. The walk to my house is short but I somehoew feel like it could last an eternity. I feel like crap.
The first time I said it she got upset but I carried on pushing and pushing until eventually she broke down. I made her cry when by what she said, she’s already hurt enough.
It’s all my stupid fault for not being around normal people anymore. Sure, there are my friends but I’ve known them since before I was an actor. I’m used to being around them. The rest of the people I spend why time with are actors or actresses. Its their job to be fake. With those people I can never tell there true feelings so I don’t really have to care. Now I guess that makes me heartless.
I reach my house and walk in.
“TOM!” shouts paddy, running up to me.
“heya little guy.” I reply, closing him in a hug. I pull back and examine his tear stained face. “are you alright?”
“Everyones gone out. Harry and Sam were left to look after me but they left.”
“They what.”
“Mum and dad left them in charge. They didn’t want to leave but Sam said he was scared of what this man called Bryan would do.”
“And do you know where they’ve gone?”
“No. They said they were going out.”
“and who’s Bryan, Paddy? Can you tell me?” I try to keep the conversation light. I don’t want to scare him.
“I don’t know. They’ve never talked about a Bryan before.”
“right okay Paddy. I’m going to call Sara and ask her if she can look after you.”
“I want to stay with you. I’m scared.”
“I know I know Paddy, I’m scared too.”
“so why cant you stay?”
“I need to find Harry and Sam and make sure they’re okay.”
“But you don’t like Harry and Sam.”
“Paddy. Just because I don’t like them doesn’t mean I don’t love them. I want to make sure nothing happens to them.”
He nods.
“Saras brother died.”
“yeah… I guessed he might have by how she reacted but how do you know?”
“Harry and Sam told me.”
I have no time to be angry right now. I just have to sort this out.
“Paddy. Heres the phone. I’m going to type Saras number into it and call her and you need to talk okay? Tell her we need her to babysit because Harry and Sam are in danger and I’ve gone out to fine them.”
He nods and I hand the phone to him.
“well where are you going?” he asks.
“I’m going to get a hoodie. I don’t want to be noticed by anyone Paddy.”
“okay.”
“Hello Sara! Its paddy... Are you okay? ..Are you sure? ..You sound sad… Okay well as long as you’re fine… I know, dad always tells me that I’m polite… We need you to babysit please!... Well it’s a long story… Mum and Dad went out and left Harry and Sam in charge. But Harry and Sam left because a man called Bryan and now I think they are in trouble and Toms going to save them and please…”
