Will he Love me ? (A Tom Hiddleston/Benedict Cumberbatch story)

"Do you want me to go talk to her ? Maybe she will listen to me"

*Ginny POV*
"Isn't India here ?" I walk into her make-up room, finding Tom there alone, looking a bit stressed out, but my daugther is nowhere to be seen.
He shakes his head, but takes my hand, trying to calm me. "No she haven't shown up today, I called Ben, she has been by there earlier, but he told her it was over and she ran out on him".
"See I told her, I knew he was going to break her heart". I don't like the idea of my little girl being out there somewhere heartbroken.
Tom looks at me very seriously. "I actually don't think you are fair right now darling, you made it pretty clear to him that you wouldn't accept them, and Karon told him it would kill his career, but I know Ben, he is heartbroken, I .. well I think he actually loves her".
"Oh don't you start too, talking about love, he can't love her, he is way to old for her, and I need to find her". But he holds me back, when I want to leave.
He pulls me down on his lap, and I only struggle shortly, I am to weak when it comes to him. "Sweetie, I am sure she is home by now, but I kind of need you, with India not showing up I have no one to do my hair and make-up".
Well it would get India in trouble if Tom is not ready for his part because she just didn't show up, so I hurry and get him ready before going home, hoping she has come back, Tom has promised to come by as soon as he is done, one of the others will take care of his touch ups tonight.

*India POV*
After I left Ben I walked around for a long time, trying to get myself under control, telling myself that this was better, he is to old for me, what had I been thinking ? It was just a silly girlish fantasy, but it didn't help at all.
When I finally got home the appartment is empty, oh shit they must be at the theatre, I forgot the time totally, now I just have to hope that mom is stepping in for me, or I will be in deep trouble.
I trow myself on my bed, honestly I can't pull myself together to do anything else, it is like I have a big hole inside me, I almost can't breathe.
Why can't they just accept us, why does people have to be so judgemental, even my own mother, I am sure Ben would want me if he didn't have to deal with everyone pulling at him, telling him what to do.
I know he is a lot older than me, but it's not like he is some old creep, why is it so wrong for me to love him ? He is the sweetest most amazing and generous man I have ever met, why is it so frowned upon, we are not hurting anyone and I am not a kid.
To be honest I have no idea how long time has passed when I hear the front door open, and then close, I hide my face in my pillow, I know it is my mother and honestly I don't think I can face her right now.
"India, are you here ?" I hear in her voice that she has been worried about me, as she opens the door and breathe out a sigh of relief as she sees me.
I don't know what to say, I know how my mom feels about Ben and me, she will think this is a good thing, and I just can't handle having her tell me how much better it is for me, not while my heart feel like it is pulling itself apart each time it beats.
She sits down on the edge of my bed. "I covered for you at work India, but you can't just dissapear like this, Tom told me what happened, right now you might not feel it, but one day you will know this was for the best".
"Thanks for covering, could you please just leave me be mom, I would like to be alone". I say, I really just want to be alone.

*Tom POV*
Ginny opens the door to me, looking quite out of it, she almost throws herself around my neck. "Oh I don't know what to do, she is just laying on her bed, crying and she won't talk to me".
"Do you want me to go talk to her ? Maybe she will listen to me". I say, holding Ginny close to me, I know this is very hard for her to deal with.
She rest her head against my chest, breathing in deeply. "Well I guess it can't hurt, and who knows, maybe you can actually get through to her".
I give Ginny a quick kiss, before going to gently knock on Indias door, hearing her sniffle inside, and I open it a bit. "Can I come in India ?"
"Well I guess you can, please just don't preach to me, I am really not in the mood". She mumbles from under her pillow.
I close the door behind me, and go over to sit down on the edge of the bed, gently stroking her back. "I am not going to preach, I promise you".
"Why is it so wrong Tom ? It isn't like we are hurting anyone, I just love him and I think he loves me too". She sits up slowly.
I try finding the rigth words. "It is just very complicated, it isn't just the age difference, it is also the fact that he is your Godfather and well his fans would tear you apart, Karon is just trying to protect him and you honestly".
"It just hurts so much, I know I kind of tricked him into it, but I just thought that if he admittet it to himself, then he would want me". She says, starting to cry again.
I pull her into my arms, gently stroking her back. "India darling.. listen I have talked to Ben, and I know him, he is totally heartbroken right now too, even though he tries to hide it, I am quite sure he loves you to".
