you lose someone

It was the day everybody came back from Christmas break and Tom could not find you at all. The next day you didn't come to any classes which worried Tom even more. He went to your dorm to see you laying on your bed all curled up. He went over to you as you stayed still.

"Go away." He looked at your face to see that it was all red and puffy.

"Please." You added.

He stood up, kissed your head, and left without saying anything.

It's been a week, all the teachers are now worried, even Dippet is.

"No, Tom, no." You protested as Tom started taking you out of your bed.

"You need to. I don't know what happened, but you can't keep doing this." You shut your mouth and let him do whatever to you. Which was to give you a bath, brush your hair, put fresh clothes on you, help you brush your teeth, walk, and all of that.

As yous walked down to the hall everybody watched. Yous made it to the Great Hall and immediately Dippet came over as yous sat down. You would not speak a word to him.

"Miss Y/L/N, I'll send a letter to your mother." You looked beside of you at Tom so he pulled you into him as you started crying. Everybody knew you only lived with your mother since your father got killed.

"Love-"

"She's gone!" Dippet heard, the whole Great Hall did since it was dead silent. Tom knew how much your mother meant to you since it was only the two of you.

"She has to like you!" You smiled up at him.

"Relax." You nodded and went into your house.

"Mom!"

"Upstairs!" You dragged Tom all the upstairs to your bedroom since your mother was in there.

You introduced the two and your mother immediately loved him! Not long after your mother got cancer, she didn't tell you until the summer before your seventh year.

"Talk to me," Tom said.

"Mom! She has cancer!" Your family was prone to it so it was only a matter of time.

"I found her there! An hour before I was supposed to leave for the train!"

"It'll be okay." He said as you balled into him.

"I only have you left." Which you didn't mind, you loved Tom. He made everything better for you, he was your light.
