Chapter 30

*1 year later* 

By the time endgame was coming out, it had been about 3 years since Tom had asked me to be his girlfriend. We have our ups and downs in our relationship and we were going on what seemed like our a millionth date to the endgame premiere.

I felt different from what I did a year ago when I walked onto the carpet with Tom when we went to see Infinity War.

Tom had put his arm around my waist to make sure that I wasn't going to get caught up in the sea of paparazzi. He led me over to the same reporter that interviewed us last year. There was at least a minute of conversation before this was brought up: "I see you guys are still together! It's got to have been at least three years since you started, to be honest, it doesn't feel like 5 minutes ago. Have you thought about anything else in your relationship lately? Something the fans should know about?"

Tom and I looked at each other, not knowing what to say because we haven't actually thought about the future at the moment, with Tom's career inevitably taking off, it was the last thing we wanted to talk about at that moment, well that's what I thought. 

"I've had a thought about where I'd like us to go in the next year but I don't know about Mya" Tom looked at me for my response

"Um, I've thought about it. Not really sure at the moment" I smiled 

*10 hours later* 

"What do you mean by that? Not really sure at the moment?!" Tom asked me while we stood in the middle of my room

"Tom. It's 4 am. I don't want to be having this conversation right now" I replied 

"Mya. Tell me what you mean by that?!" Tom said raising his voice slightly 

"I'll tell you what I mean by that," I said turning around to face him and then walking towards him "what I mean by that is, I haven't thought about it at all. I think we're perfect the way we are at the moment" I regretted saying every word that I said 

"So you're telling me, you haven't given any thought about us at all? Where this is the only thing I have thought about every day for the last year" Tom said looking me directly in the eyes. 

"Well, what do you mean by 'I've had a thought about where I'd like us to go in the next year then'. What do you mean by that then?" 

"I don't want to talk to you about it like this" Tom said quietly 

"I see how it is" 

"See what?!" He asked 

"That I have to tell you what I mean and you don't have to, just like when you try and get away from everything else. I thought you were different from other people" 

"This is exactly what I mean! You blame me for everything!" 

"So now the truth comes out! So tell me, Thomas, what else have I done wrong?" I snapped 

"You always focus on the past, you never think about the future! Do you want to know where I see us in a few years? I see us, maybe, you know, married or something or at least engaged or something like that" Tom said 

"Maybe I don't want to rush things, OKAY" 

"THEN WHY DO WE KEEP FIGHTING?" The truth is that we had been fighting a lot recently and to be honest, neither of us know why 

"I DON'T KNOW. MAYBE UNTIL THERE IS NOTHING ELSE WORTH FIGHTING FOR!!" I screamed the last part and instantly regretted it. 

I looked up at Tom and noticed he had tears in his eyes. "I think I should go. Don't bother texting me" He said as he walked out and slammed the door behind him

Next thing I knew, tears were streaming down my face and I felt my knees give way from underneath me. 

I heard my door open and Laura came running over to me and pulled me into a hug "I'm so sorry" She said 

"For what, there is nothing you can do about it," I said, still crying 

Laura and my mum eventually got me off the floor and onto my bed because I felt so weak I couldn't move.
