Mistake || Tom Holland

twenty one

florida

noe's pov

my heart ached as i got off the plane. it hurt to know that i probably won't ever see tom. all the thinking i had to go through while on the plane made me think more deeply about our relationship.

he isn't wrong about us being a mistake. maybe.. he is right about me moving here.

i decided to go to the bathroom to listen to his voicemail.

"noe i'm going to explain everything. i'm in my car and i'm freezing but i need to tell you now. you never told me about dylan. ever. i didn't know you had a crazy ex. my manager did all the research and found out about him. my manager was worried he would harm you so he kidnapped him. my manager told me, explained everything and so i went to go see him. he told me a bunch of shit that worried me for your safety. he told me he had killed others just for you.. he even killed your best friend. i didn't want you to end up next to her... so i have sent you to florida. i'm not going because i don't want dylan to follow giving us more problems. i love you i really do. but think about something. ever since we decided to start dating, shit has been happening. i cheated. we got into so many arguments. you went to vancouver leaving me alone in my thoughts. your ex shows up. have you ever thought that maybe we aren't meant to be?
that our whole relationship was a mistake. maybe sending you away is what's best. i love you noe. i really do. but we are a mistake."

so many thoughts after listening to his voicemail.

do i call him?

do i just leave it be.

i miss him.

i want to be in his arms.

i want to feel his warm body against mine.

i want tom.

i left the bathroom with tears in my eyes. i wanted to cry. but i couldnt.

i went to baggage claim and waited patiently for my bag.

"noe harlow?" some beautiful girl came up to me. she had brown curly hair, tan, well she seemed to be mixed.

"yes who is asking?" i asked to get her name.

"zendaya. toms best friend. please tell me he told you about me."

"ohhh yes i remember him telling me about you." i said after realizing who she is.

"i'm sorry about this whole thing. tom told me about this just last week."

"i'm sorry for causing you trouble."

"no it's not trouble at all since my best friend is in love with you." she smiled wide and rubbed my back.

i got my bag and we started walking to her car.

"what's the deal with tom?" i asked while she started driving. she sighed.

"do you want the whole back story or the quick one."

"all. i need to know."

"okay well it all started when he first fell in love. like actually loved a girl. they dated for two years. they were very toxic together. she manipulated him. she would say she will kill herself if he didn't text back faster. she had mental disorders and shit which is why tom believed it. what he didn't know is that she was a sociopath. she was insane. only i could see that. i tried telling tom but love made him deaf and blind. anyways. the girl cheated on tom multiple times and tom even caught her a couple of times. but he forgave her. she hurt him so much. she made him lose hope in all girls. he started hurting girls. he put that girl in a mental hospital. but ever since then he was never the same with girls. he became very depressed and started thinking all girls were sluts who do nothing good. which is probably why he was so cold the first few days you met him and probably why he brought different girls over every night." she stopped and glanced over at me.

"but you, noe. you changed him. i don't know how or why. but thank god you did. he truly does love you. he loves you as much as he did his first love.. maybe more. i have to see how he acts with you in person to confirm that but i do know he loves you. the way he talks about you to me is adorable. he uses his words carefully. he makes sure he doesn't use any that could offend you. he told me he hopes he marries you. the fact that he wants to be tied down to you really should ring a bell in your little brain."

"i love tom a lot. at first he hurt me a lot because he cheated on me and he used me just to have a girlfriend."

"yeah he's better now. he's seen the kind of person you are. he's fallen in love." she stopped talking and pulled over.

"and you. better. not. use. or manipulate. my best friend. because. i cannot. have him. go. through. another. heartbreak."

zendaya was a protective best friend in a subtle way.

"i definitely will not. i love him too much." she sighed in relief and started to drive again.
