Xena (Zeenah) Russel and Tom Holland have been best friends since they were born. Their moms were best friends their whole lives and gave birth to the pair 2 days apart, he was born first and loves to tease her about it. They've been inseparable eve...
I wake up the next morning, my blankets wrapped loosely around me, the salty air filling the room, and the warm breeze blowing through the curtains and lightly brushing over my skin. I sit up, stretch and yawn, then toss the blankets off me and throw my legs over the side of the bed. I rub my eyes and grab my phone from the nightstand. I unplug it and the screen lights up. I have messages from Tom.

Shorty Awww
Tommy They're cute right?
Shorty Yeah.
Tommy
You okay? You're acting strange.
Shorty I'm fine
Tommy Tell me the truth
Shorty This just isn't easy or fun for me to talk about. How would you feel if I told you while I was fucking around with someone, I got pregnant with their child? It'd be hard seeing pictures of it wouldn't it? I want to see the pictures, because it means a lot to you...it's just hard.
Tommy Yes. I'm sorry, I shouldn't be rubbing it in. I know it's hard, I would feel terrible if I was in your situation.
Shorty I know.
Tommy I have to go now. Talk later?
Shorty Sure
Tommy I love you. Read: 8:32am
I throw my phone onto my bed and stand up. I run a hand through my hair and flop it to the side. A knock comes at my door, so I go over and open the door. "Hello Xena! I'm here to get your order for breakfast!" The resort worker cheers. "Here's a menu." She hands it to me and I scan it over. Once I've decided I hand it back to her. "I'll have the chocolate chip pancakes with fruit topping and a tropical margarita please." I order. "Great, I'll be back with that soon!" She cheers, then turns and walks to her golf cart. I close the door and go back into my room. As I'm heading for the bathroom I hear my phone vibrating on the bed. I sigh and turn around. I grab my phone from my bed. It's my dad.
"Hey dad."
"Hey Xena. How are you?"
"I'm okay, all things considered. Betrayed and broken, but I'll be okay."
"I can't believe Tom did this to you! The nerve of that boy! Haven't you been through enough! I jus-"
"Dad! Relax! I agree Tom screwed up cosmically, but there's nothing I can do about it but pretend to be decently okay even though I'm far from that, for his sake, and at least try tobe there for him." I feel tears come to my eyes again.
