Chapter 10

It's been three long days since I watched my mother being dragged away by the police. My dad went to talk to her about twenty minutes after she was arrested. He wanted to know everything I wanted to know. When he came back home he just told me that she is a crazy lunatic and we hadn't noticed until now. Tom left my house early the morning after. He texted me later that day to tell me that he told his whole family and they were all in shock. They actually asked if I was okay which made me smile. I know that I still have people that I can trust. I've just spent the past two days in bed thinking about everything. Knowing that the past five years of my life had been a lie and that I was living with a murderer. Now that I think about these past five years I can see all the similarity's my mother has to a psychopath and how I was just oblivious. I now realise that my father is a normal guy and was just afraid of my mother and it was her that was the bad parent, not him. He loved me and still does. All this time.

I decide that today I'm going to try and be productive. I can't mope around for the rest of my life. Just after I get changed I hear a ring of the doorbell.

"I've got it!" My dad shouts down the hallway. I'm not used to that. I'm not used to having my dad around me. It feels like he's actually with me now. Like he cares. I hear mumbling from the door and then a few footsteps inside, followed by the closing of the front door. I walk in to see who it is. Suddenly I'm embraced into a huge hug.

"I'm so sorry (y/n/n) are you okay?" Talia says to me as she's still gripping on tightly.

*(y/n/n) is your nickname

"Yeah. Yeah I'm okay." I say trying to convince not only Talia but myself. I see Haz standing opposite me. Talia let's go and then gives me a half smile.

"Come here Pinkie." He says signalling over to himself. I walk over to him with open arms and then bury my head into Harrison's chest. I wrap my arms around him tightly and he does the same back.

"I didn't think this would happen." I say, my voice sounding muffled as I am speaking into his shirt. A tear rolls down my face.

"I know." He frowns. "I know." He says more gently like a whisper. After a few seconds he speaks up again. "Everything's going to be okay." He says as he let's go of me. I nod at him. Talia walks up to us and grabs Harrison's hand. My eyes widen as I see their fingers linking in with each other.

"You- and- and you" I say pointing at each of them looking confused. They both let out a slight laugh.

"(Y/N) turns out you're really good at introducing people." Talia smiles.

"Wait you two are...?" I ask not really able to finish my sentence just from pure shock.

"Yes, we're dating." Harrison smiles.

"Ahhh omg!!" I shout, suddenly feeling a lot happier. "This is great! We can go on double dates and everything! Ah I can't wait for your wedding." I smile and then bring both of them into a group hug.

"I'm not too sure Tom will want to be going on double dates right now." Harrison says and lets out a small laugh as he breathes. Then his face instantly changed telling me that he wasn't meant to say that. Talia gives him a look.

"What do you mean?" I ask now confused.

"Oh uh n-nothing." Harrison says and scratches the back of his head.

"Haz I'm not thick. I know when you're lying." I say and cross my arms. Harrison looks at every point around the room except me.

"Talia?" I say and then she starts looking around the room as well. "Guys just tell me!" I shout getting really annoyed now. Harrison sighs.

"Tessa has cancer." He says obviously trying not to cry.

"W- what?" I say trying to process what he just said.

"She was diagnosed the day we went to the cinema. Tom was pretty upset." Harrison says now wiping a tear from his face.

"Of course he is! His dog has cancer. Why didn't he tell me?" I ask now feeling my eyes tear up.

"I- I don't know." Harrison says looking down at the floor. I freeze for a few seconds thinking about what to do next.

"Guys I um... I have to go." I say as I grab my car keys and run over to the front door.

"What? Where? (Y/N) we're in your house." Talia says confused.

"I need to talk to Tom. Stay here as long as you like." I say as I half smile to them and then run out of the door. I unlock my car and start driving to Tom's house. So many thoughts are going through my brain. I hope Tessa's okay. Why didn't he tell me? I'm going to his house, that means all the Holland's will most likely be there. The Holland's that I haven't seen in five years, the Holland's that now despise my mother.

Just as I pull up outside Tom's house he walks out closing the door shut behind him. I jump out and run towards him.

"(Y/N)?" He asks surprised. "What are you doing here?" He asks again as he walks over to me. I walk right up to him and stand still for a moment or two. I think that he can tell that I'm angry because my arms are crossed and I'm staring deeply into his eyes.

"Why didn't you tell me about Tessa?" I ask with a slightly angry tone. Tom looks surprised that I've asked him this.

"How- how do you know?" He asks now looking anxious.

"Harrison told me." I say firmly.

"Oh." He says and looks down the the ground.

"It shouldn't be him that tells me this! It should be you. Why? Why didn't you tell me?" I ask getting angrier. I'm starting to think this isn't about Tessa anymore. It's about trust. If he can't tell me important things like this then how am I supposed to trust him?

"(Y/N) I was going to. But with everything going on with your mum and all... I didn't want to upset you even more." He says, his voice breaking a bit at the end. I see tears fill up in his eyes.

"No. Don't bring my mum into this! This isn't about her or what happened! You found out about Tessa before that. I was with you that day! You didn't tell me." I say taking a step back. Tom's face turns from sad to slightly more cross.

"How was I supposed to tell you that my dog is sick? That my dog might be dying! Without even coming to terms with it myself. I didn't want it to be real. I don't want it to be real! If I tell you it makes it real!" Tom shouts, now with tears rolling down his face. It takes everything within me not to hug him tightly right now. I shouldn't be mad. He's the one in pain.

"You didn't tell me. How am I meant to trust you if you don't tell me things like this? This is important Tom! We can't just pretend like it never happened! Were you even going to tell me?" I ask him now doubting our relationship entirely.

"Yes. Of... of course I was." He stumbles looking down at the ground.

"You weren't." I say now forcing him to make eye contact with me. "You weren't going to tell me were you?" I ask now tears filling me eyes. Tom pauses for a moment.

"No." He says with an apologetic look in his eyes. I let out a sad laugh.

"Okay." I say as I walk to the car with tears falling down my face.

"Where are you going??" He asks trying to run after me.

"Home. I need to think things through. So do you." I say and then get into my car and slam the door shut. I wipe my eyes and then drive away watching him standing there with tears rolling down his face. I keep driving. I keep driving and don't turn back. I'm more angry than anything right now. I need to think. I need to think about if our relationship can keep going if I can't trust him.

When I get home I run into the house with a tear stained face. I go into the kitchen hoping to find a carton of ice cream but instead I find Harrison.
"Haz? What are you doing here? Where's Talia?"
