Ray of Hope (Tom Hiddleston)

Hiding and Argument

Tom's P.O.V

I watched Isabella falling asleep as I sat beside her on the bed. After she told me about what happened to her in past. I was devastated.

As I looked at her she was fast asleep I slowly took her hand and lifted her sleeve.

My heart broke into million pieces. At such a young age she went through so much. I caressed her faded scars. "You won't ever go through the pain again, Bella,ever. I'll make sure of it" I whispered. 

She shifts a little bit her eyebrows furrowed but her eyes were still close. Her breathing was going faster. She muttered. "No no no!" She says. "Bella.. Bella!" I said shaking her trying to wake her up. 

She quickly opens her eyes and shoots up looking at me panting. "Your alright, okay? Its just a nightmare" I reassured her. She slowly puts her head on my shoulder and I wrapped my hands around her. "When will these go away?" She asks in a low voice.

"Soon, sooner than you think" I said. "Sleep" I said to her. She slowly leans back to the bed and takes the sheets over her head. 

I took a book of my room and sat down on the chair beside Isabella's bed.

"Tom, tom" Isabella whispered trying to wake me up. I slowly opened my eyes. "You slept here the entire night?" She asks in shock. "I thought after you are asleep, I'll go back to my room but I fell asleep" I said rubbing my eyes followed by a yawn.

"I am making breakfast today go get fresh" She tells me. "Oh god" I said jokingly. "Come on, I am, the best cook there is.." She says sasily. "Yeah yeah" I said as I walked my room. "Its going to be the best breakfast you ever had" She yells jokingly. I chuckled softly.

Isabella's P.O.V

"Hmm. That's actually pretty good though" He says taking the bite of the food. I tilted my head with a smirk. He rolls his eyes playfully. We herd the doorbell ring. Tom gets up from his seat and opened it. 

"Hi, come on in" Tom moves out of the way and I saw, Benedict. I got from my seat leaving the eaten half toast in the plate. "Its alright continue with the breakfast" He says smiling. I awkwardly sat down back on my seat.

"Would like to have some?" Tom asks Benedict. "Yeah yeah I made it" I said proudly. "Well.. In the case I would love to have some" He says smiling. I quickly ran off to kitchen to get him a plate.

"The media is asking about her Tom." I herd Ben and Tom talk in the living room. We finished our breakfast I got dressed as I had to go for book and notebooks shopping for the college and some more stationery items.

"So what? That's what they do" Tom replies.. "You very well know Tom, she is the granddaughter of Fredrick Clifford he was one of the richest in town people got to know who she is and that day when her Mansion was attacked by the media. They are asking what kind of relation do you have with her" Ben retorts. 

I saw Tom jaw clenches. "Why is there need for me to put label on the bloody relationship!" He yells. "There is not. But-" Ben says as he trails off. "What about her dad, he was trying to reach out to her and did you tell her?" Ben asks.

My dad was reaching out to me and Tom didn't told me? Why?. "Don't you remember about the tapes. Isabella's mum's clearly said that he is not her dad he just wanted her for the property. He claimed to be her dad for the past 18 years. She is not Isabella 'Thomas'. " Tom says. "But she-" Ben trails off as he spots me standing. 

Tom turns around. "I..I was leaving to get some notebooks and book, I'll be back in few hours." I said stuttering as I quickly ran off outside.

"Bella Bella!." Tom calls me out running after me. He grabs my arms and pull me back facing him. "I am so sorry, Bella I didn't mean to hide this from you" He apologies guilt written all over his face.
