Stitches

Part 2

You were lying on a pool chair on your patio quietly reading your favorite book while soaking up the warm sun, Tom was quietly sneaking up behind you before squeezing both your sides. “God! Tom you twat! You scared me!” you screamed while swatting him with your book “Ow, jeez calm down! I’m sorry!” you hit him one last time before leaning back in your chair, “What do you want? I was kind of in the middle of something.” he grinned before pulling out a water gun “We’re having a water fight, and I'm serious outnumbered. Care to join?” he held out the water gun to you before you smirked and took it in your hands. “Gladly.” he grinned as you hoped off your chair and followed Tom to the front of the house and next door, you both were peeking around a corner before being ambushed from the other side by Harrison, Sam, and Harry. “Come on, Y/n. I thought you would be on my team?” said Harrison while blasting water at the both of us, you giggled before jumping over to where Harrison was before basting Tom with your gun, “I thought you were on my side!” “Not anymore!” you laughed before Tom came running and tackled you onto the grass, he laid next to you looking into your eyes as you giggled, you stopped laughing as he moved the wet hair away from your face. “I thought you’d be mad at me? I did just betray you.” you laughed not breaking eye contact, “I could never be mad at you, it would hurt me to much.” he smiled as you felt your cheeks warm up. Harrison came up to you both and blasted you with water, “Come on, we don’t to watch this!” you both stood up and ran after the boys blasting them with water while laughing.

Neither of you said anything as you sat in the car, you were looking out the window before you started feeling guilty for not saying anything, “Tom?” no response you looked over at him, he kept stern eye contact towards the road not even flinching at his name. Though he loved how it sounded coming from you. “You know I’ve missed you, alot.” “Yeah?” he said still not moving “Why aren't you talking to me?” your voice was small and desperate, he felt guilty for a bit almost causing him to break down. But still giving no response, you looked back at the window before shifting yourself to face Tom. “Please, just talk to me?” “No! We are not going to talk, we are going to drive in silence. I don't want to talk to you!” Your eyes started to water, his words hurt you more than silence, you quickly turned back to the window. Tom felt like crying himself, it hurt him more than anything as he raised his voice at you, there was silence the rest of the ride besides the small sniffles coming from you, causing Toms heart to break even more.

You arrived at the store both of you going your separate ways before meeting up at the register, without any words you both got in the car and arrived back at home. You grabbed the bags before you entered the house, you sighed as home quickly made his way up to his room. You walked into the kitchen and lit up as you saw a familiar blond head. “Haz!” you ran up to him quickly wrapping your arms around him “Hey Y/n, Its good to see you.” he looked down at you as you buried your face into his chest, “Hey you alright?” you looked up at him with puffy red eyes before he started rubbing your back. “Its fine, Im already.” you lied wiping your face and putting on a fake smile. “Um, yeah I don't think so. I know when something is wrong with my best friend. Come on talk to me.” you sighed in defeat as you both walked up to your bedroom, you sat down on your bed as Harrison quietly closed the door and sat down next to you. You tried to stay strong but your head fell against his chest as soft sobbs came from you.

“He doesn’t love me. He doesn’t even need me!”

“What are you talking about?” He wrapped his arms around you holding you tight

“He doesn’t want to talk to me. He can’t even look at me!” you buried your face deeper in his chest, “It's been so hard. I dont have anyone back at America besides my family. All I’ve thought about for all these years was to see you guys.” you loved Harrison and you were glad he was here to hold you, but you craved for Tom to hold and tell that everything was ok, and for the smell of his body wash to flood over your senses. You wanted nothing more that to hold him.

You laid in your bed with puffy eyes and tears streaming down your face as you curled up into a ball. Tom was sliding your bedroom window open before hopping into your room. “Hey Y/n, I just really needed to talk to someone- hey what happened?”  you shuffled slightly catching the concerned and worried on his face “He cheated on me Tom…” you voice was small and scratchy like you’ve been crying for hours. “What? I swear to god, I’m going to kill him!” his face was filled with anger as he clenched his fist. “N-no, leave him alone. How could you love someone like me anyway, I don't deserve love…” his face dropped into sadness and disbelief “That's not true, you’re perfect. He doesn’t deserve your tears.” “Mhm. Please just hold me Tommy.” he walked over to your bed and laid down next to you wrapping his arms around you, you slowly kissed your head as he gently rubbed your arm. “I’ll always be here for you darling. I love you…” he said the last sentence just below a whisper but you heard it and pressed yourself closer to his body. “I love you too.” You fell asleep in eachothers arms, waking up later in the morning and never speaking of that night again...
