"Hello?"

"Tom Holland.."

"Yes I was wondering if you needed anything of me..."

"Anything at all!"

"No I'm in New York right now.."

"Yeah I'm with a certain girl.."

"Why the hell would I tell you random desk clerk"

"Oh I'm sorry.. Georgie"

"Ok, ok"

"Great I'll check the email now"

"Thank you mate! Bye!" Tom said ending the phone call.

I rolled over and saw Tom sitting at the end of the bed. I pushed him off the bed with my foot causing him to curse as he went down.

"Where we going today Spider-Man?" I said laughing as he still lied on the floor defeated.

"One, don't call me Spider-Man.. Two, were going to your old house.." Tom said eventually getting off the floor.

I took a deep breath and imagined some of the outcomes.

"What if someone lives there?" I asked hoping it would determine a few more outcomes.

"We can move on or ask to check it out if someone's home.. I mean celebrity's in your house is something to proud of.." Tom said smiling at the ground.

"Celebrity's?" I asked seeing as this statement contradicted with what he said a few weeks ago.

"Yes, Y/N the 16 year old... Instagram famous!" Tom said optimistically.

"You mean famous for being the great 19 year old Tom Hollands friend?" I said.

"Excuse you, I am 20 now!" Tom stated.

"How was I supposed to know!" I said throwing a pillow at his face.

"You've lived with me for like 5 years!" Tom said.

"That's an exaggeration!!" I said throwing the other pillow at him.

I stared at Tom from across the table the pillow zipper mark still imprinted on his face. I smirked in remembrance of my victory.

"Well... you wanna get headed out?" Tom said.

"Well we're late because of you so sure.." I said.

"You were the one who woke up at 10:00am.." Tom said.

"Are you not affected by jet lag or anything?" I stated.

"I've been traveling a lot... I mean maybe?" Tom said as he grabbed his card from the little tray the waiter carried back.

I looked up at the waiter and he was clearly in a hyper mood after this experience. We were gonna say something but it's best not make him faint on the job.

"Yeah uh.. let's head out...." I stated.

We stepped out of the cafe and saw about 26 photographers asking questions. Tom covered my face and we quickly waved down a cab. We immediately hopped in hoping that would be the end of our troubles.

I picked up my phone and scrolled through Instagram but there was nothing that interesting so I checked a few other places before ultimately dropping my phone on the floor.

"W-What's up?" Tom said extremely concerned.

"This article......" I said giving him the phone.

'Tom Holland was spotted on a flight from England coming in yesterday. With him is a girl with many people have labeled his girlfriend. Many say that her hair correctly matches Y/N L/N! Are the two dating? We'll keep you updated on the couple as the week goes on!'

"This is horrible..." I stated.

"But are we boyf-" Tom said.

"I mean who does this!" I stated.

"We boyfriend and g-" Tom stuttered.

"I'm sorry what?" I said.

"A-Are we boyfriend and girlfriend..?" Tom said.

"I-I-I don't know.... It's complicated.." I said trying to escape the conversation.

"Ok.. then..." Tom stated. "Do you love me?"

"Yes.... I do.. I mean yeah...." I stuttered.

"And.. I love you... so..?" Tom said.

"It's a both way crush like in school..." I said turning away from him.

"I guess w-what I'm trying to say is... will you be my REAL girlfriend?" Tom said with goofy grin.

"......yeah" I said softly.

"R-Really!" Tom said throwing himself across the car hugging me.

"...ok but just never do that again.." I said with a chuckle.

---

"Ok this is your stop...!" The cab driver said.

Tom gave the man some money and we exited the vehicle.

"This is it..." I said staring at the condo complex.

The eerily same looking houses crept back into my mind and how this was a place of joy when I was younger. There was always kids playing out on the street and lemonade stands.

"It's so empty..." I said out loud.

"Well it is later in the day but yeah..." Tom said throwing his arm over my shoulder as we walked up to the place that looked like an office or information center.

We walked in the front door and there was a singular lady sitting at the front desk.

"Hello how can I... Oh sweet baby Jesus your Tom Holland.." The lady said.

I snickered at her comment and she got her own turn to laugh as well.

"How can I help you two tonight?" She said.

"We're looking for her childhood condo and seeing if we would be able to see it... It's fine if we can't..." Tom said.

"Yeah..! Totally fine!" I chirped in.

"And what is the condos number.." The clerk said frantically seeing as the Tom Holland was staring her down.

"Condo 34..." I said.

"It was bought by Keith L/N.. but it's current residents disappeared and we called every remaining family member and Keith L/N claimed the condo since it was fully paid for.." The clerk said. "That's all that it says.."

"Who lives their right now?!?" I stated.

"Keith L/N.. mam.." The lady said staring at the floor.

"My father.... is still alive?" I said staring down at the ground shakily.
