✓ IT ALL STARTED WITH A PSYCHO

❝Its A Possibility❞

I pulled my bag over my shoulder in a hurry, grabbing my coat and holding it hastily over my arm. I'm not doing this. Am I really do this? No. No I can't. I dropped my bag down to the ground and sighed. I mean should I? No what am I thinking? I sat down at the chair next to my desk when a sudden knock came to the door.

"Come in!"

It was Jacob, as he greeted me while a smile. He looked a little worried, so I did my best to reassure him with a hug.

"Is everything ok with you?" He asked as I pulled away. I took a deep breath and offered him a seat. I didn't know what to tell him, what was running through my mind at that point I wasn't even sure of. Maybe Tom wouldn't want me to tell him? But shouldn't I be thinking about that's best for me right now?

"To be honest with you it's been really complicated and I do have something to tell you"

Fuck it.

"Okay?"

"But you have to promise me that you'll keep it a secret!"

"Okay Okay, you have my word I won't tell a soul"

"So, the night me and Tom let the party, we didn't exactly go to another bar"

"I know where this is heading" he sighed. I lowered my head, face palming lightly.

"I don't know what to do, Jacob. I'm a mess, I don't even know where I stand with Tom. One minute we're doing that then the next we're just plain old friends again"

"I don't think that's how Tom sees it"

"What are you talking about?"

"Look, me and Tom had a conversation last night. He told me about what happened, and honestly we were all expecting it-"

"Thanks that's so reassuring" I said sarcastically

"Let me finish"

"Sorry"

"So as I was saying, he really needs you right now and quite frankly I think you need each other. Yes it was rushed and it was a plain accident what happened but if it wasn't meant to do you really think you would have done that?"

He had a point. A really good point. And if what he was saying was true, maybe me and Tom were a little more than friends?

"Where is he now?"

"He's filming at the moment, but he said he was too nervous to speak to you about it. But I do have one other question"

"Which is?"

"Ok it's gonna sound awkward, but please tell me you used protection"

I didn't really say anything for a moment, and I could feel the worry building up in the room.

"Zendaya-"

"I lied! I lied to Toms face and I still feel bad about it!"

"What are you talking about?"

"We were in the mood and I don't know, I told him I was on the pill cause I didn't want him to stop and we didn't have anything-"

"So- there is a possibility that your-"

"Just don't Jacob. Don't."

"But this is serious shit!"

"You don't think I know that! I've known this guy over 2 months and already we've... Ugh I don't know" I felt like a child. Throwing a tantrum and crying. But it wasn't exactly over nothing. There was still a small part of hope that was telling me everything would be alright and I might pull through this. Might.

"You do realise we have to talk to Tom about this"

"I guess"

Jacob pulled out his phone and, what I presumed, began messaging Tom. After placing his phone away, he pulled me into a tight hug, wrapping me in his warm arms. He felt safe. Different.

"Whatever happens remember that me and Laura will always be here for you, Okay?"

"Thank you"

Jacobs phone buzzed in his pocket and he let go of me to check.

"Toms on his break in the next fifteen minutes. Do you want me to speak to him about this?"

"No, I'll do it. I think it would be best"

"Okay"

"But, can you do something for me?"

"Sure"

I handed him a small sheet of paper which he opened slowly, giving me a confused look.

"Please"

He nodded and I was thankful. I didn't even want to speak the words of what were written down on that sheet of paper, but I felt worse for sending Jacob out of all people.

Fifteen minutes passed quickly and soon there was another knock at the door, making me almost jump out of my skin. The anxiety and worry had bubbled up inside me so much I felt like at any moment I would erupt into a river of tears. Either that or die from the mass amount of anxiety.

I opened the door slowly, revealing a worried looking Tom. He gave me a smile as I gestured him inside and closed the door behind him.

"Before I say anything, can we just both agree that we're in this together no matter what happens?" I asked, standing awkwardly with my hands by my sides. Tom nodded, looking slightly confused.

I took a deep breath, attempting to calm my racing heart beat.

"Okay. So... I- I lied to you"

"What? When?"

"Last night..."

"A lot happened last night, which part?" He asked gently.

"The um.. the-the part about being on the pill..."

Toms faced drained of colour, every inch of him sinking down to his stomach. He looked confused, lost all of a sudden. I wanted to die right there and then, let a black whole suck me up and never spit me out again.

"So what your saying is-"

"No! No that's not what I'm saying. But- it could happen"

There was a silence in the room and it was killing me. Ripping me apart like some sort of beast.

Tom stood quickly, making me flinch a little. He wrapped his arms around me, shocking me slightly.

"Whatever happens, I'm here"

"You don't know how much that means to me right now"
