Memories: Tom Holland/Dylan O'brien x reader

23. real life

the night went great. it was around 10 pm and i was sat on the couch with tom next to me, his arm around my waist and a glass of champagne in my hand. my friends and cast mates were also sat on the couch and on the floor. we were just talking about random things. but of course, the universe had a different kind of plan, and wanted to ruin the great night i had.

the front door swung open, and revealed the face of one of the last person i wanted to ever see.

my ex-bestfriend, julia pierce.

(a/n: i portray her as camila cabello, but you can choose anyone if you want!)

"what the hell are you doing here?" i spat out. everyone went quiet, and looked in the same direction as me.

"you have got to be fucking kidding me." katherine said as she threw her hands in the air. she was not only my ex-bestfriend, but also kath's.

"what? are you not happy to see me? it's been years alli." julia said with a stupid grin that i wanted to punch off of her face.

long story short:
katherine, julia and i have been best friends since kindergarten. until middle school came, and julia left us because she wanted to become 'popular'. which didn't work. so, as the bitch she is, she did the one thing i could never forgive her for.

she cheated on my boyfriend.

i was devastated for months. i truly loved him with my entire heart. but, of course, she had to ruin everything. we dated for 2 years, but it was all ruined because of her.

ok back to the after party.

"yeah. it's been years since you left me and kath and cheated on my boyfriend. how the hell are you even here? who allowed you in? why the hell are you even in america?" i said as i approached her. it took all of the energy in me to not hit her in the face. katherine stood beside me, and tom and harrison behind us.

"oh come on now, alli. that was high school. are you not over it?" julia said. still that stupid freaking grin on her face, and not even answering my questions.

"oh i'm definitely over it by now. but i will never forget it. can't you just, get lost? why. are. you. here. julia?" i said, getting angrier by the second.

"i'm just visiting a friend! he invited me here." that. freaking. grin.

"and who is that so called friend of yours?"

"guys, what's going on? oh hey julia! you're finally here!"

WHAT?

how do they even know each other?

"o my god! hey harry! i was looking for you! until this bitch came into my view." okay, now i am allowed to punch her.

so that's what i did. well, not really. i wanted to, but i didn't. instead, i slapped her right across the cheek and that made her fall onto the ground.

"allison! why would you do that?" harry said while helping julia stand.

"dude, she literally just called alli a bitch and did some horrible things in the past. how can you blame her? and how the hell can you invite her?" tom said, backing me up. thank god he's with me.

"yeah, i heard that. but what do you mean 'did horrible things in the past?" harry said looking confused. why is he being so stupid?

"you know i told you guys about this girl that cheated on my boyfriend and literally left me and kath?" i said to harry

"yeah i do. why? oh... what the hell? is your name julia pierce? you said it was julia williams!" harry said, finally understanding it.

"god, you really had to ruin it, huh, alli? well, i think it's time for me to go. but i will never be gone. so i should watch your back, before someone from past comes again." and with that, she left.

"hey, are you okay?" tom said in his sweet, soft voice that i love hearing so much.

"i-i don't know." and with that he gave me a hug. and before i knew it, i was crying on his shoulder. why did this happen to me? why me? i did nothing wrong to anyone, and yet, these kind of things happen to me.

"come on, let's get back to the hotel."

so we did. tom, katherine, harrison and i went back to our hotel and in tom and harrison their room. i was laying on a bed with tom. my head on his chest and his arm around my waist. he gave me his hoodie which was very comfortable, and he was definitely not getting it back. he was stroking my hair with his other hand, which was really comfortable. i could easily fall asleep, but i didn't. not yet.

"thank you." i said looking up at him to see tom already looking at me.

"for what, darling?"

"for just... being you. and being here with me and some of the most important people in my life. you are so important to me, and i don't know if this is too soon, but i love you so much. just, thank you for everything."

he smiled at me and leaned in to give me a kiss on my lips. it was a slow kiss, nothing too much. but it was full of passion and love.

"it's not too soon, darling. i love you too. you mean the world to me, and i can't bare to loose you. your happiness is everything i care about."

a few tears escaped my eyes by his words.

i love this boy so much.

but the same words kept ringing in my head.

'i will never be gone, so i should watch your back before someone from the past comes again.'

i fell asleep in tom's arms. expecting the worst to happen.
