You move in with your half brother Eduardo for awhile until you can buy a house. While you stay with him you meet one of his neighbors. You learn that his name is Tom and that you two have common interests. You find yourself starting to fall for the...
Tom's POV: I woke up to the feeling of shaking. "Earthquake!" I yelled and shot up and out of my bed, but I crashed into someone else before I could run out. We fell to the floor and I let out an "oof". "Tom get off!" I got back off of them and looked to see who it was. Y/N! Shit! "Duhhh....sorry Y/N." I scratched the back of my neck and with the other hand I helped her to get back on her feet. "I-it's fine."
She had a blush on her face, barely visible, but it was still there. Suddenly I felt a searing headache hit me. I grabbed my head and fell back on my bed. "Need this?" I opened my eyes to see Y/N reached her hand out holding an ice pack. I quickly grabbed it and pressed it to my forehead. I mumbled a 'thank you' and squeezed my eyes shut.
I felt a dip beside me. "Here, lay back." I felt a hand cradling my head as another gently pushed me down onto the bed. I felt the hand on my chest move to my hand on the ice pack. "Let me see this, I'll be right back." She took the ice pack and removed her other hand from the back of my head. She left the room and I raised my hands to my temples in pain.
Your POV: I left Tom in his room and went to the kitchen. I grabbed a few paper towels and wrapped them around the ice pack. I can't believe Edd left me here to take care of him. Edd had left in the morning with only a text:

I finished wrapping and walked back to Tom's room. He had both hands on his head and small tear streaks running across his temples and into his hair. Wait! Don't pity him! You're still mad! But no matter how hard I tried to convince myself I couldn't help but feel my heart break at his pitiful state. I sat back down beside him and placed the ice pack in my lap. "Move your hands real quick."
I kept my voice low and soft as I slowly moved his hands away from the sides of his eyes. I took the ice pack from my lap and put it back on his head. "It hurts bad this time..." He sniffled like a child. "I know buddy, imma try to make it better. So just lay down for a bit." He nodded, his head barely moving, and closed his eyes again. I took the ends of my F/C sweater and wiped the tear stains from the sides of his head.
He whimpered at the contact so I lighted the pressure of my hands. "How much did you drink last night?" He didn't say anything so I asked again more sternly. "Tom answer me, how much?" He opened his eyes slightly and looked at me in a nervous manner. "I don't remember... a lot?" I let out a frustrated sigh and pinched the bridge of my nose. "Tom you can't go and get drunk like that!" I tried to keep my voice down but he flinched anyway.
"Oww..." He mummered out-loud. I pulled his head onto my lap, and began to gently rub the sides of his head. Slowly, I began to moved down to his shoulders. He leaned his head back into my lap as I massaged his upper arms. When I finished I looked back to see his face, every feature was relaxed and calmed as he was put into a peaceful sleep. I picked his head up slightly and put one of his pillows under his head.
After pulling the covers up over him I stepped back to get a good look at him. He laid on his back with his eyelids heavily weighed down in a deep sleep. I sighed noticing some hair that had gotten wet from the ice pack and was stuck to his head. I stepped closer and wiped the hair away and stepped back. "Like a child." I whispered quietly to myself as I quietly walked out of the room. I walked to Matt's room to talk to him, but when I got there he wasn't inside. "His mirror is still there...that's strange."
