The winner takes it all (Tom Holland fan fiction)

The Call

Toms POV

I walk through my door and place down my stuff on the kitchen counter and, as if on cue, I get the call from Ashley.

I answer, expecting it to be a normal call , when I'm suddenly greeted with a zoomed in version of my face in possibly one of the most unattractive shots ever. I jump, slightly alarmed that I can see myself before realising this was a video call.

I hear a laugh.

"Yo you seemed pretty happy to see yourself" Ashley giggles.

"I wasn't expecting you to video call me, I would have put my makeup on first" , I laugh.  "Why can't I see you"

"I must be at the corner of the screen, you've probably enlarged yourself you vain idiot"

We both laugh. I click the small picture at the corner of the screen, swapping my face with Ashley's, providing me with an intimate image of her eating a bowl of Frosties.

"Frosties? Now really? Frosties should be eaten at breakfast and only breakfast." I say.

"Frosties should be eaten when ever , where ever." Ashley replies.

"Your such a disappointment to the cereal world"

"I know you are", Ashley smirks.

We both laugh. We've always enjoyed taking the mick out of each other.

"Anyway," she says, " what did you want to talk about? The fact you and Makayla are both totally crushing on eachother?"

"I guess, kind of . Basically , Marval have invited me to Ace Comi-Con to do a panel in Chicago next week and-"

"NO BLEEPING WAY WHAT THE ACTUAL HELL YOUR SO LUCKY ME AND MAKAYLA HAVE LEGIT BEEN DYING TO GO TO THAT FOR YEARS IM SO JELLY RIGHT NOW" Ashley screams in my ear.

I laugh, " you guys are welcome to come too, but that's not what I wanted to talk about. The fact is, the idea that we still haven't told Makayla about - us - has been playing on my mind recently and , well, now that we've kissed and everything and I know the feelings mutuel , I don't want to hide it from her, but I also feel scared as hell to tell her because I don't want to ruin things with her."

"Honestly Tom, I feel the same way. I've been so worried about telling her. I know I should have told her straight away, but when she got kind of pissed about the fact I hadn't told her that we already knew each other , I just couldn't face putting another log on the fire. But looking back at it now, I really should have told her then and there."

"Me too. So, do you think we should tell her before i go?"

"I'm not sure. I would say yes, but what concerns me is that after the kiss between you guys and everything , she'll say it's cool , but she tends to over think things, and I don't want her getting worked up about things. Because, I guess the thing is as well, it will be her dating her best friends ex, and it's not like I have a problem with that or anything, but she will get worried that she's not being loyal."

Ouch . "Ex"'. I don't know why that term stung me so much, because I am, she is, But - ouch.

"I think your right." I agree, still slightly stinging from being called her ex.

"But I'm not saying let's keep putting this whole ideal off because that's only going to make things worse. I think we should still tell her ASAP, as soon as we are back from Chicago and the events over."

"We? You've already accepted the invitation to come I see?" I laugh.

"I hope so, though , me and Makayla still have education to attend to." Ashley says as she rolls her eyes.

I laugh, " yes, you mustn't forget to learn your spellings!", I say jokingly

"Shut up", Ashley says bluntly , with a smirk lingering in the corners of her lips. " anyway , you cool with the plan".

"Super cool" I say.

"Cool"

"Cool"

We smile

"Anyway , I wanna go eat some more cereal so will catch you later . Don't let the bed bugs murder you in your sleep", she says.

"Thanks?" I smile, "see ya".

I click the end call button .

"Dang Ashley and her cute cereal obsession", I say to myself as I slump into the sofa.

How can I feel like a massive weight has been lifted from my shoulders , yet I'm feeling more emotionally confused than ever?

I sigh, sinking back into the sofa, closing my eyes , and falling asleep.
