Three months later

The morning sunshine peeked into your room, causing you to squint. You rubbed your eyes and pushed the covers off your body.

"Morning babe."

You turned around and saw a tired Harrison lying in your bed. You stared into his striking blue eyes and smiled.

It had been three months since your break up with Tom, and somehow you ended up with Harrison. Harrison had been an absolute saint for the past three months. The day after your break up with Tom, he came over with Chinese takeout, chocolates and movies.

"What are you doing here?" You hissed, "here to do Tom's dirty work?"

Harrison frowned, he knew you were hurting. You were always down and crushed the day after a breakup.

"No... I'm here to make you feel better. I'm sor-"

"Harrison," You sighed. "You don't have to do what Tom asked you to. I'm fine. Zendaya will be here for me tomorrow. You can tell Tom to give these to his new girlfriend."

Harrison furrowed his brows again. He knew that you'd think Tom wanted this, but in actual fact, he wanted to be a good friend for you.

"I'm here because I want to make you feel better. I want to be a good best friend. I know I haven't been that great, but let me make it up to you by being here for you now." He said and stepped into your house.

You smiled. You were touched by his actions and words. You thought that by breaking up with Tom, you were going to lose both your boyfriend and best friend.

"Alright, but we're watching Confessions of a Shopaholic first."

A smiled crept up onto his face.

Harrison had been amazing. He showered love on you for the past two months, and he made you forget about Tom. He made you his girlfriend within a month.

You were sitting on the sofa. With his arm draped around your waist, you leaned on Harrison. He turned to you, smiling at how focused you were on the movie. You tore your eyes from the screen and looked up at him. You smiled.

"What is your take on us?" He blurted out. His eyes widened to the size of saucers. He shouldn't have said. He thought he had killed the mood.

"What?" You were stunned by his question. In all honestly, you considered dating Harrison.

He gathered all his courage.

"Would you give us a chance?" He gulped.

With no hesitation, you answered.

You were attending the premiere of Star Wars: The Last Jedi, as Harrison's plus one. You were on the red carpet with him. You were in a coral chiffon dress, to match Harrison's Tiffany blue suit.

You looked around the red carpet, looking for your favourite Star Wars actors, until your eyes met his. Tom Holland. You took a deep breath and looked at Harrison. You knew that he was going to be here, and you were hoping to avoid him for the whole premiere. You looked up, trying to spot where he was. He was walking towards you. You held onto Harrison's arm a little tighter.

"Babe what's wro-"

"Harrison! It's been a while mate." Tom smiled at Harrison and offered a hug. Harrison let go of your arm and embraced Tom. You stiffened.

"Hello Y/N." Tom flashed a smile at you. You nodded and avoided his gaze. You were afraid of lashing out in anger and sadness.

"Are you alone tonight? No date?" Harrison asked. Tom shook his head.

"Is your girlfriend not free?" You hissed.

"Actually... We're not together anymore. Anyways, could I steal you for a second Y/N?" Tom used his puppy eyes to plead with you.

You agreed after Harrison nudged you slightly.

You walked with Tom to a dressing room. You were nervous. You were afraid that you'd snap at him and storm out in tears.

"Tom you better not make me cry. My mascara is not waterproof." You warned. He laughed.

"I'm sorry Y/N." He started. "I'm sorry for what I've done. I know what I did was horrible. I just feel so shitty about it and I want to have yo-"

"It's alright Tom."

"What? How can it be alright? What I did was unforgivable. It was terrible. I shouldn't have done it." He ran his hand through his gelled hair. His hair was in a mess now. You stood up and moved to him. You helped him to tame his mane.

"It's fine Thomas. I've healed. I forgotten the past. I forgive you." You reassured as you combed his hair. His eyes lit up.

"Does this mean you'll give us another chance?" He pleaded.

You longed to say yes. You wanted to run into his arms again. You wanted the comfort of him being there. You wanted to feel loved by him again. You knew that you still loved him. But you were with Harrison. You couldn't break Harrison's heart. You couldn't break Tom's heart.

"I..." You started. You couldn't do this.

"There you are. Premiere's starting. Let's go." Harrison poked his head through the door. Thank God for Harrison.

You couldn't focus. You couldn't pay attention to the movie. All you could think of was how torn you were between the two. You had to make a decision. It would be bad to break Tom's heart. It would be ruthless to break Harrison's. Harrison had been perfect. He never wronged you. You excused yourself from your seat. You felt uneasy.

"What's wrong Y/N?" Tom.

"Tom... I..." You didn't know what to say.

Tom held your arm and looked at you. His gaze was filled with concern. He squeezed your arms. His hands firmly planted on them. You looked away from him.

"Babe... What's going on?" Harrison asked.

You didn't expect him to follow you out. You thought that he'd be too caught up with the movie. You sighed. You knew you had to face this sooner or later.

"Harrison... it's nothing." You fell away from Tom's grip and looked at your boyfriend.

"No... something is bothering you. Talk to me Y/N." Harrison hardly called you by your name when you were together. He only called you by your name when he was serious or angry. And he was serious.

"Mate... relax. She's fine." Tom rested a hand on Harrison's shoulder.

"No, Tom. she's not." Harrison glared at Tom. "She hasn't been okay? For three months. She hasn't been fine. I've been there for her. I've been there to comfort her. Where were you? Where were you when she was broken? Busy snogging your girlfriend?" Harrison spat.

"I haven't. I broke up with her the day Y/N left me. For thr-" Tom started but you interrupted.

"Stop it. Stop it Tom." You sighed. You didn't want trouble. You wanted to be at peace with him and whatever feelings there were.

"I'm sorry Tom," You started. "I forgive you for what you did. I need you to understand that. Yes, you made a mistake, but you need to learn from it and move on. I hope that you can be at peace. Don't dwell on our love. Find someone new. I realised that I shouldn't dwell on the past. I should be putting it behind me and moving forward. And I've done that Tom. I've moved on. I'm sorry Tom. I still love you. But I have Harrison, and I love him. So I'm really sorry. I hope that you can understand."

You looked at Tom. He bowed his head a little, thinking. You knew that you had to do this. You were with Harrison and you love him. Tom had to move on. He needed to let go of you, to stop holding you back.

Tom walked up to you and looked into you eyes. You gazed at the familiar pair of brown eyes and smiled. He inched closer to you, your noses touched. Then he lifted his head and planted a kiss on your forehead.

"I understand. I love you Y/N. Thank you."
