A week later
*Tom POV*
I need to do something, a week has passed and apparently Ginny was serious, I haven't heard from her, she doesn't answer my calls and texts and she haven't been by the theatre and I feel lost, but I can't do much about that right now.
What I can do something about is India and Ben, the poor girl is walking around in a daze, breaking down into sobs several times a day and standing there, getting lost in her thoughts, and I have no doubt who she is thinking of.
I know Ben loves her, the idiot need to forgive her and make up his bloody mind, either he man up and stick by her, telling people who wants to judge them that they can fuck off or he tells India that he is not man enough to be with her and let's her start to heal and move on.
No matter what, I am on my way to his hotel to have a talk with him, this ends now, Ginny might have iced me, but I still feel an urge to protect India, I know she has told her father she wont see him or Penelope after what happened.
"Tom ! What are you doing here ? You look absolutely exhausted". Ben looks at me as he opens the door, and step aside to let me into his suite.
I look at him, I know I look like shit, but he isn't looking much better. "And you are talking, I thought you always looked perfect, but you look like shit".
"Thank you, what do you want ?" He looks a bit taken back, like he expects me to be angry with him or Ginny to have sent me.
I breathe in deeply. "I have come to kick some bloody sense into you, do you know how broken India is ? She is walking around in a daze, breaking down in sobs several times a day, you have to make a choice and stick by it".
"Hey it isn't that easy, I have to think of my career, my image, what it would do to her, it is just very complicated". The pain in his eyes is obvious.
I grab his collar, glaring at him, my voice a bit high. "Yes it is Ben, it is that fucking simple and not really complicated, you have a wonderful woman who loves you and I know you love her, step up for gods sake, be a man and fuck what everyone else thinks, be happy you at least still has a chance to get her back".
"Did something happen with you and Ginny ?" He asks me, as I let him go, I can see the wheels turning in his head.
I slump down on the couch, nodding slowly. "She flipped, and I kind of told her that I knew about you and India, so she let it out on me, it just kind of blew up and I left, she hasn't contacted me and she ain't answering either, I might have lost her for good".
"Oh fuck I didn't know, we are a couple of fools aren't we ?" He says slumping down beside me on the couch.
I nod, running a hand through my hair. "Oh you can say that again, a couple of grade A fools for letting those girls go".
"Yeah you are right, I don't really care about what other says, I just want India back in my arms, I really do love her and I am going to prove it". He gets up, looking like a man with a purpose.
I send him a smile and a nod. "Go get your woman and make sure to tell her what a big jerk you were and hope she will take your back".
"Hey if India takes me back and we get Ginny to take you back, do I get to I call you dad then ?" He ask with a smirk and I throw a couch pillow at him. "Do that and I will choke you very slowly".

*Ginny POV*
"Ben ?" I stare at him as I open the door, not really knowing how to react to him being here, I don't really have energy to get angry.
He steps past me, looking at me with resolve written on his face. "Ginny we need to talk, and I don't care if you hate me".
"Come on in then, seems I have no choice". I say and close the door before walking into the living-room, Ben following me.
I sit down on the couch and Ben stops in front of me. "I know you think I am to old to be dating India, but I love her, with all my heart, I made a big mistake breaking up with her, caring about others opinien, and I am going to beg on my knees for her to forgive me".
"Ben ? Why are you here ?" Indias voice suddenly sounds behind us and Ben turns to look at her, the love in his eyes so clear to see.
"Baby, I am so sorry I let me convince by rumours and other peoples opinions, your are the light of my life, whitout you I am only half and my heart don't seem to beat rigth, please forgive me and come with me to London, I don't want to be without you". He looks at her, his eyes begging her.
She bite her lip and I can see she is about to burst into tears, then she jumps into his arms, and he catches her no trouble, as she kisses him deeply.
Okay, I know I can't stand in the way of their love, but this is a bit more than I care to watch and I clear my throat, making them both look and India blush. "Mom I really love him and I don't care about his age, please accept this, give us your blessing".
"I know sweetie, and you know what, you got my blessing, as long as you are happy and I know you probably wont find a better man". I say with a sigh.
Ben smiles at me, keeping India in his arms. "Thank you Ginny, I promise you I will never hurt her again or let her down, but if I can be bold, you wont find a better man than the one who's heart you shattered, you might wanna consider telling him you are sorry".
"Ben it isn't that easy, there is a lot of things complicating it". I say with a sigh, I miss Tom so badly, but I messed up everything.
Ben sends me a smirk. "A a wise man once told me, well earlier today actually, it is that fucking simple and not really complicated, and you know what, we men are kind of easy, go tell him you are sorry and he will forgive you".
