McFly, Tom And The Musician ||Tom Fletcher||

Chapter 18

"I was wandering.. if you would want to.. I dunno .. um."..

*Lilys pov*

Was Tom just going to ask me out?! Oh wow, of course I was going to say yes!

"you know what It doesn't matter" he continued..

"Oh.. okay" I chuckled quietly, maybe he wasn't then..

A little while later the boys come back, Dougie with four pizza boxes and Danny with twelve cans of beer. Danny chucks each of the boys one and collapses back onto the sofa along with Dougie.

We each grab some pizza and get a seat, I was now curled up with my knees up and Tom sitting next to me; Harry on the other side of him.

"No beer for you lily?" Harry asks waving his can in front of me,

"No, I think I'm alright for now!" I chuckle.

An hour passes, half past two, and we had each finished off the pizzas and were on our second beers. My legs were swung over Toms lap and my feet resting on Harry,

"So tell us more about your childhood lily!" Dougie laughs after throwing his beer can at Harry,

"Um well, Tom already knows this but I have a younger sister; called Maddie, she works at Ikea in Swindon. Also I have a brother called George, who is a army pilot but is currently off for a month due to an injury but will go back! And my mum, Sandy, she works at a bank in my old home town of Bristol.." I reply curling my feet back up and my knees by my chest,

"An army pilot?! that's awesome!" Dougie states, I just laugh,

"Wait what about your dad?" Danny questions raising himself up off the floor, god dam it!

"Well I was trying to avoid that topic actually.." I reply looking out of the window trying to avoid their sympathetic eyes, also the tears from the memories I had from him that started to erupt,

"Why? You can tell us" Tom whispers using his hand and fingers to turn my head back to them. They were all smiling slightly, I had never really discussed my dad with anyone before, not even at the time! I already trusted the boys.. so I gave in..

"Well.. it was when I was 14, exactly ten years ago last week, and I was having to make choices for my work experience and I was also i was starting my GCSEs.. I was, as my mum put it, 'the talented one' because I could play the guitar, paint, and I took all the creative subject for my GCSEs; Textiles, Art and Beauty. All of which my mum was proud of and told me she would support me throughout.." I could feel a lump building up in my throat, taking a deep breath, trying not to cry as I carried on,

"My dad on the other hand, disliked every choice.. he wanted me to be like my brother, He got A's and A*'s in English, Science and Maths, all his subjects..he was the smart one and my dad told me that he'd punish me if I carried on with my choices.. But I did anyway.. each day I would get back from school and run to my room, i'd sit there for hours.. terrified just waiting for my dad to get home.. each day was the same; he'd come home, slam the front door, thump up the stairs and throw open my door.. then spend the next five minutes shouting at me about how I was so pathetic and worthless before slapping me and walking out" I couldn't help it, my eyes burst and squeals escape my mouth as I finish my sentence.

I push my head into my hands and feel Tom wrap his arms around me before pulling me against his chest, he rocks me gently back and forth. Tom was very comfortable, I didn't care that we weren't really friends but I jut needed someone to hold me and that person happened to be the one and only Tom Fletcher.

"Oh my.. Lily I'm so sorry, I shouldn't have made you tell us" Danny whispers, obviously feeling awful..

"It's alright, this was the first time I've talked about it to anyone for 10 years.. and I'm not done yet.." I stutter moving up as Tom releases from around me, I wipe under my eyes, cleaning my make-up stains,

"You don't have to carry on if you don't want too.." Dougie states softly,

"No it's okay, it's good to get it out..

Well finally, after a couple of weeks of it happening my mum found out from my little sister, who's room was right next to mine. I came home from school after doing some catch up with my art teacher to see my parents shouting in the kitchen. I ran up stairs and went into my sisters bedroom where I heard her crying.. It was all over after an hour and I heard the front door slam and my mum walk into the room, she walked over to me and my sister and joined in the hug, 'you will never have to deal with that man again, he is gone forever. We have been drifting away from each other for months and now this has happened that was the final straw' she told us. The rest of my life was so much better, my dad did come back but only to get his belongings. And since that day I haven't seen him.. not for 10 years" I finish,

Dougie looked like he was going to cry, it was sweet.. the first day I meet McFly and they already care about me..

"Are you okay?" Tom asks moving his arm around me and squishing my against his side, I nod and just rest my head on his chest.
