Chapter X

8TH OF JUNE

Tom's POV:

I was waiting until the show was going to be over. It was the last performance in London. The routine had been killing me. "We did 106 performances in total, here in London. And we're gonna do 17 weeks in New York." I thought and it didn't make me happier. I mean, obviously I love my job and I love acting but doing the same show for billion times can be tiring. Plus rehearsals in New York. I was going to New York in the middle of July, when the shows don't start till the middle of August.

After the applause we got flowers and we thanked everyone, they thanked us. We went off stage.

"Finally" I said. "Congratulations to all of us!"

"Yeah, we deserve a drink" Zawe replied.

"And a huuuug!" yelled Charlie.

"Awwww" came out of Zawe's mouth when we hugged. I think we'll be best friends forever. I spent more time with them than with my family.

We went out for a drink, but all I could think about was my upcoming phone call with Raven. I've been missing her so much. I dream about her at nights and I can't get her out of my head. I guess that's a good thing but it hurts to know that she's so far away.

THE CALL:

"Hi Tom!" I heard her voice and my eyes filled up with tears. We haven't talked in a while because of m job.

"Hello, Raven. I've missed you so much"

"I've missed you more!" She said and I could almost hear her smiling.

"You know that's not true. What have you been up to? How are you?"

"I'm ehh I don't really know, Tom."

"What does it mean? What happened baby?"

"Remember about these attacks I told you? Well, they're back. And harder. And I've cut I'm so sorry, baby, I know I promised not to, but I can't control it. I know I'm a freak" She was crying. I was really worried.

"Of course you're not a freak. And it's okay, it's not your fault. Imagine that I'm there with you, and I'm hugging you"

"I give you a kiss" her voice was less shaky.

"I kiss you back, harder."

"I run my fingers through your hair"

"I hold your face in my hands"

"I kiss your neck"

"Aww baby. Is it better?"

"Better" she said laughing.

"See? I'm a medicine for everything haha!"

"I know you are. That's why I need you. I need my Tommy medicine!"

"I'm falling for you harder and harder everyday, Raven. You know that?"

"Now I know. And the feeling is equal. By the way, how are you? Congrats on your 106th performance! Baby you're the best!"

"I'm good, but really, really tired. I'm glad that I have a month break. And also I have good news. I was wrong, I thought we'll see each other in August, but it'll actually be the middle of July!"

"Oo that's awesome! So it's only 30 something days! And you have the right to be tired, give yourself a chance to rest. You're the most hard-working person I know!"

"Thanks, Raven. Also I know your birthday is on the 23rd of June and I already have a surprise for you! But we have to facetime then, because I will want to show you something!"

"Oh my gosh, I can't wait! I wonder what have you thought of..."

"You'll see! Now, I'm sorry but I have to go to sleep, because I am exhausted, to be honest."

"Okay baby, sweet dreams!"

"See you soon!"

I took a shower, fed Bobby and went under the sheets. I immiedately fell asleep and guess what I was dreaming about? No, not Raven, not this time. BETRAYAL. In my dream we were playing it. AGAIN.
