"W-What..?" Tom stated grabbing my shoulders and looking me straight in the eye.

"I.. thought...! Thought he died.." I said my eyes starting to water.

"Y/N..?" Tom said.

"I don't know... What do I do Tom.." I said looking down at the ground so he couldn't see my first tears.

"Listen.. Lets go talk to him.. ok?" Tom said lifting my head up. "And if he's a jerk or doesn't know you... We'll just leave ok?"

"Ok.." I said shakily.

"B-But we can go home if you need to.... To the Hotel that is..." Tom said.

"C-Can we come back tomorrow?" I asked Tom.

"Like you need my approval..! Let's go.. We can talk and stuff...." Tom said opening the door for me out of the office.

Tom laid on his stomach on his bed with his feet up almost touching his head like he was some cheerleader.  Meanwhile I paced the room like some maniac.

"We could just pretend it never happened..." Tom said.

"Pretend it never happened!" I said.

"Ok.. Sorry..." Tom said.

"No, I yelled I'm sorry.." I said.

"What are we going to do..?" Tom asked.

"I don't want to think about it today.." I said.

"Lets go somewhere then..?" Tom said.

"I.. I don't know.." I stated.

"How about Times Square? Or the lot with the talk buildings all round.." Tom said with more of a happy tone.

"Sure.. That sounds great actually!" I stated.

---

"Pretty isn't it?" Tom stated.

"Yeah.. It's giving me nostalgia..." I said looking around.

We sat in the middle of Times Square on the infamous red stairs and continued looking up in awe.

"A-Are you sure we should be out here?" I stuttered.

"I don't see the problem in it.. Your having fun arn't you?" Tom smiled.

I nodded and continued to be lost in thought. Tom kept going on about the city and what he has and hasn't done until he asked me something that caught me off guard.

"What about you?" Tom asked.

"Uh.. I'm fine.. Great actually..!" I smiled.

"We don't have to sit here forever you know.. We can go do stuff.." Tom stated.

"I like it.." I stated my head now leading on his shoulder.

The constant horns honk and the bright lights didn't feel at home but new and nostalgic at the same time.

"10:00.." Tom stated.

"No it's 2:30" I said in a confused tone.

"No look over there.." Tom said.

"Ohhhh.." I said like a doof.

Over on the left a bit was a photographer who was continually taking pictures of the Square.

"What's up with her?" I asked.

"She took one of us.." Tom said before hiding his face in a hat.

"Come on.." I said grabbing his hand and pulling him down the stairs.

"Excuse me Miss!" I started yelling.

The woman started walking away but I started running and caught up to her.

"Y-Yes..?" She stuttered.

"Can I check your camera?" I asked looking her dead in the eye.

"N-No! That's an invasion of personal privacy..." She stated.

"Well you just invaded my personal privacy by talking a picture of.... Us!" I stated.

"Cmon Y/N.. We have no proof lets go.." Tom said grabbing my hand as we disappeared into the crowd.

"So how's New York!!" Joan stated very very excited.

"It's great! How's Kingston?" I stated.

"Cold.. Fall is coming ya know.." Joan said.

"Joan can I tell you something but you have to promise not to tell anyone.." I said.

"O-Ok?" Joan said.

"I think I saw Daddy at our old house.. I don't know what to do..." I said.

"REALLY!?" Joan said more excited than before.

"But we haven't seen Daddy in a very long time.. What if Daddy doesn't like or remember Y/NN.." I said.

"I think he will!" Joan said.

The innocence of the small 11 year olds voice was enough to make this 17 year old cry.

"Y/NN?" Joan said after a little while.

"I'm here.." I said with tears still in my eyes.

"Sam wants to talk to you is that ok?" Joan said.

"Yes.." I said a smile creeping onto my face.

"I swear to god if Tom's done anything to you!" Sam said.

"Easy Sam!" I heard Harry's voice say.

"Hey you two.." I said.

"Are you crying! What happened I swear to god if it-" Sam stated before I heard muffling.

"What Sam meant to say is what happened?" Harry said.

"I saw someone I knew... But I'm afraid.." I said.

"Just go say hi! And ask if they remember you.." Harry said before yelping.

"Go up to them and give them a hug!" Sam said.

"Why did you bite me!" Harry said from a distance.

"Ok.. I'll keep that in mind...." I said.

"I'm here for you Y/N.." Sam said.

"WE'RE here for you Y/N.." Harry said emphasizing on the We're.

"I should go... It's getting late and I reckon it's midnight or later for you..." I stated.

"Yeah.." Harry bluntly said.

"But anything for you to feel better!" Sam said.

"Thanks guys.. Tell Paddy I said Hi!" I said.

"He's asleep but will do!" Harry said.

"Bye Y/N.." Sam said.

"Bye..!" I said before hanging up.

I nodded in confirming to myself. I'm going to go see my Dad tomorrow.

"You ok?" Tom asked.

"I'm fine.." I said smiling before hugging him.

"Are you sure..?" He stated.

"Positive.." I said smiling.
