Broken Trust//Dove Cameron: Fan-Fiction

//Time I Move On//

"Oh gosh honey, I am so glad you had time to spend with me." My mother says as we take a seat at our table. After Tom left, and after everything that went down, I just needed some time for myself.

"Yeah, me too." I say, and she smiles. She grabs my hand gently and holds it.

"Listen honey, Tom will come back. He loves you, yeah you made a mistake, but honey that is what makes you human. That is what makes us all human." She comforts me.

"Thanks mom," I say as I pull a hair behind my ear, "I honestly hope you're right."

"Sorry, that's my phone, I uh I ne-"

"Honey, go ahead, I understand." She assures me, and I step away.

It's Maria, great.

"Hello?" I say.

"Guurl, you won't believe what just happened today, have you read the magazines?" She says a little too loudly.

"No, why? It's probably some stupid sh*t abo-"

"About you!" Maria yells through the speaker, nearly blowing out my eardrum.

"What?" I say, and she tells me to check on the website. I open up the website and sure enough they caught Thomas leaving my room.

Hottie Mr. Doherty leaving out coming 'Liv and Maddie' Star Dove Cameron's room. Are they a thing? Find out on page 34.

Oh God, this is just what I need. I can't let Tom see this, I need to tell him before he hears it from someone else. This is the last thing we need, especially while he is such in a fragile state.

"Did you see it!?"

"Yeah"

"Well?"

"What?"

"Oh gosh guurl is it true? Are you guys a thing?" She asks, and the words make me nauseous.

"No, what? You know how they are?" I say and she hums before hanging up. Great, if my own agent believes that, who else does? I look back to the table where my mother is sitting, she is looking over the menu. I sigh before walking over.

"How'd it go?" She asks, and I sit.

"Not well." I respond bringing my hand to my forehead.

"Oh honey, it's going to be fine." She says, and the waiter finally comes to take our order.

"Are you guys ready?" She asks, and her hair is orange, she is skinny, but not too skinny. Her teeth are pearl white, and she has light freckles from cheek to cheek.

"Yes, can I get a sandwich but," Her words are drowns out by my thoughts.

I need to text Tom, but he said he needs space. He needs time, so how am I going to tell him. I miss him, I should not have even done what I did. We wouldn't be here if it wasn't for me, this is so confusing. If I am this confused, I can only imagine how Tom must feel. Oh what have I done?

"Did you hear me dear?" My mother brings me back to reality.

"What?" I sit up straight.

"I said I ordered you the salad with extra croutons."

"Oh, what salad?"

"Caesar. Is that fine?" She says, and I nod.

"As long as it isn't Doherty salad with Soph dressing." I joke, and we both start bursting into laughter.

...

I arrive home and once again, my thoughts wander to Tom. God, I still can't believe he has this power over me. Just as I get ready to throw my jacket on the bed, I hear a knock at my door. Who could that be now? I walk over and open it, great not you.

"Hey. Can we talk?" Thomas says. I cross my arms. "Please, I need someone to talk to."

"Ugh, fine." I say and gesture for him to come in.

"Thanks." He says as he makes his way to the bed, and I cough.

"Not there." I say and point for him to go to the table. He rolls his eyes, but obliges.

"Listen, thanks for talking to me." He says as he rubs his hand behind his neck. A sign of nervousness.

"Just get to it Thomas." I say.

"I want you to know something that I've seen." He starts, and my heart starts to beat faster. Oh god, please don't be something horrible. I don't know how much bad news I can take.

"So uhm, it involves Tom." He starts, and I am speechless.

"What?" I force the word out of my mouth.

"Well he uhm I seen him with Sofia last night." He says, and my heart drops.

"And?"

"And uhm he took her home, I was at the restaurant and he and her were at dinner, he looked a little down. And then she grabbed his hand, whispered in his ear, and they paid for the check and went home." He finishes.

I am absolutely speechless. I feel as if I were stabbed in the heart, my heart was mended, then broken again. This is just unbelievable. Maybe it didn't happen? Maybe he is just making everything up, to get me or something. But then again, Sofia said she would get him, so that's how I know this is true.

"Are you alright?" Thomas asks, and I nod.

"Are you sure?"

"Yes, I," I clear my throat, "I just uhm, I just think I need to be alone."

"I don't think you should be alone, I think you need someone here for you." As he speaks the words, I burst into tears. He rushes over to me, and pulls me in his embrace. The smell of his cologne fills my nostrils. I hug him tighter, and sob into his shoulder. How could Tom do this to me? I cheated, I get it, but I apologized. And he cheated on me as well, in high school. I just, I never thought that he would do it again. The feeling breaks my heart, just when I thought there was a glimpse of hope, I am back at the beginning.

...

I wake up and turn to my side. Thomas must have left, because he isn't anywhere to be found. I can't remember when, but I must've fallen asleep. My phone buzzes and I reach over to grab it from my bedside table, it's connected to the charger, Thomas must have plugged it in, because I never do. I turn on the screen, and immediately squint. Why the hell do I have this thing so f*cking bright? I turn down the brightness and realize the time. 3:23 a.m. Are you f*vking kidding me, this is ridiculous.

Maria:

Hey son't forget that you have that meeting at seven in the morning, also we have some filming to do at 4:00 a.m. forgot to tell you.

I immediately get throw my covers off, and run to get dressed. As much as I don't want to, I know I have to. This is what I signed up for, I knew what I wanted and what I had to deal with coming into this industry, so I try to not complain. After I finish throwing on some jeans, and some converse, I run to the restroom to clean up the mascara from my cheeks, brush my teeth, and finally brush my hair bringing it into a ponytail.

Maria:

The driver should be there in 5, see you soon.

I make sure I have everything I need, grab a protein bar to hold me off, and finally grab my purse and keys and wait.

Buzz Buzz

Maria:

He's outside.

I grab everything, walk out the door, and make sure I lock it from the outside. Well, this is it, my journey to success. It's time to focus on myself for once. For once, I need to stop worrying about other people, and stop focusing on who I've hurt. I need to stop worrying about some guy that runs from me to another, just because something has happened. For that, that makes him a coward, not wanting to stay and work things out would make someone strong, not running away from their problems. It's time I move on.
