17 || I'D RATHER DIE

"Have you made your mind, Thomas?"

Tom turned around and met with The Death, who was staring at him. Tom shook his head, earning a loud groan from The Death.

"What's so hard? Live or die, that's all!"

The Death was getting impatient. Well, of course he wasn't known as a patient person- no, thing.

"It's not that easy to be a ghost!"

Tom yelled at him. The Death smirked at his sudden outburst. That was what he liked, to see the man showered with rage and jealousy.

"Just like you said, what's the point of living when Y/N doesn't love me? But I don't want to be dead either."

Tom paced back and forth in his room. The Death casually sat on the bed whilst watching every movements that the man made.

"Are you sure that she doesn't love you back, Tom?"

The Death asked, sounded a little bit convincing. Tom stopped pacing and looked at him.

"You'd rather die than live without her love, don't you?"

The Death whispered huskily, his eyes wandered everywhere but at Tom. The ghost sighed and nodded slightly.

"Such a waste of my time. Please think through about this and make it quick. Why would you stay here as a ghost for this long, by the way?"

Tom rolled his eyes when The Death nagged at him. With a blink of the eye, The Death has disappeared from his sight and he was alone again.

More space to think.

"Tom!"

His eyes widen when he heard that scream. He quickly went to see Y/N, afraid if something bad happened to the girl. But as he arrived in her room, she was laughing and jumping on her feet.

"Oh my god, Tom!"

She screamed again, then she let out a squeal. Tom frowned and put his hands on his ears, pretending to hate the noise that she was making.

"Y/N, you're hurting my ears."

He commented, but then she ran into his arms. He was surprised but wrapped his arms around her and smiled.

"I got the call!"

She giggled and bit her lips. He was puzzled for a second, making she groaned.

"They have set a meeting for me to discuss about publishing my book!"

She enlightened him, and he couldn't be happier for her. He spinned her around and kissed her forehead.

"Congratulations, Y/N. I know you could do this."

The soon to be author shook her head, but still smiling from ear to ear.

"Do not congratulate me yet, Tom. Let me go to the meeting and see how it goes first. If they accept, then only the book could be published."

She squealed again. Even if the offer wasn't confirmed yet, it was already such a big achivement for her. She has never been happier than this.

"Oh yes, I'm gonna let Sebastian knows about this."

She got out of his arms and went to grab her phone. Tom pulled her back towards him, making she looked him in the eyes.

"Whether you get it or not, please know that you're the best, Y/N."

He whispered into her ears. She grinned and nodded. Then she made her way to call Sebastian, leaving Tom heartbroken there.

"I need to tell her."
